Sunny Lenarduzzi: In this video, I'm gonna teach you really
quickly how to create a branding watermark for your channel, which adds that little subscribe
button to every single video on your channel for increased subscribers to grow your YouTube
channel at warp speed.
Let's dive into this tutorial.
So I am currently on my channel, youtube.com/sunnylenarduzzi, and you're gonna go to your channel and just
follow these steps along with me.
So pause and play the video as much as you need to in order to follow the steps exactly.
This is going to be really, really quick to get this branding watermark on your channel.
So all you do is go to your channel.
Then you go to Creator Studio and then you go to Channel on the left hand side of the
screen.
You're gonna go to Branding, so this is where you're branding watermark lives, so I already
have this branding watermark on my videos.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna show you how to create two different kinds
of watermarks, depending on what kind of look you want for your watermark.
So what we're gonna do first is I'm just gonna remove this and take it off so that we can
go back to scratch and start from scratch.
So the first option is to keep it really simple and just use the YouTube aesthetic.
So you can just use a YouTube branded watermark.
All I did to find this was go, "subscribe button square," and I'm just going to download
this.
I'm gonna save this image, so Subscribe Button.
I'm gonna save that to my desktop and I'm gonna show you what happens if I upload this
guy.
So Add a Watermark and just a heads up, it does say to keep the file transparent, the
background of the file transparent.
That is totally your call because I'm gonna show you the other option of how I created
my watermark.
It's not transparent, but I love the way that it looks, so it's up to you, so I'm gonna
choose that file.
So it's under Subscribe, Subscribe, Subscribe.
There we go.
Sorry, guys.
I like to sing when I do my tutorials.
Then we're gonna go save.
Awesome.
It looks great.
We're gonna save that there.
You can see there it is on the bottom right hand side, so this is now gonna be on every
single video.
So let's take a look at what this looks like on your channel.
Oh, and one thing.
We want to make sure that it says the entire video.
That way, this button, the subscribe button is on your entire video and someone can subscribe
at any point during any of your videos.
So let's take a look what this looks like, so automatically, that new subscribe button
is added to every single video on my channel and every single video moving forward without
you having to do anything else.
So it makes it really easy for new viewers to subscribe.
It's a call to action that's clear and if you click on watermark itself, it just takes
you back to your channel.
So that is what the YouTube subscribe button looks like, which is totally cool if you prefer
that look.
But what I would like to show you is actually how to brand your branding watermark.
So I prefer this look because it keeps it on brand with our color's aesthetic font.
I like the way that that looks better because it just makes it more recognizable as ours.
So how I created a branded branding watermark, simply using Canva and you basically go to
Custom Dimensions.
You need 400 by 400 pixels.
Design and this is really easy, guys.
All we're gonna do is make the background color our brand color, which is gold and then
I'm just gonna add the font.
So I'm gonna add, "Click here to."
We're gonna make this white and our brand font.
We'll make this 55.
Okay.
There we go.
Center that and then we're gonna add another line of text that says, "Subscribe."
Oops and we'll make this 95 in our font and we'll pull that over.
Perfect, so now we're gonna download this, so download that and we'll pull it onto the
desktop.
Pull that onto desktop.
Replace.
Okay and then we're going to go ... We can exit out of that now.
We're gonna go back here.
We're gonna remove the YouTube logo as the watermark.
We're gonna add our custom logo that we just created, or custom watermark that we just
created.
So we're gonna go Choose File and it was Click Here To.
We're gonna save that and you will see how it looks.
So I love the way this looks because it is on brand with our colors.
Again, you want to make sure you hit Entire Video.
We'll update this and then I'm gonna show you guys exactly what this looks like on our
channel, so now if I just update this video, see?
Ne branded subscribe button with our brand colors and our font.
It's custom to our business and our brand, so it totally depends on how you like your
branding watermark to look.
But this is the process to actually add it to every single video in your channel.
You can see if I click on any video now, we skip the ads in one second.
There we go.
there it is.
It's gonna be on every single video moving forward and every single video that I've already
created.
So it's a really easy way, you guys, to increase your subscribers by having the subscribe button
on every video.
That is the entire process, so can't wait to see what yours looks like.
