- How long do you think it would take you to update a link
in your description box across 900 videos?
What if I told you it took less than 10 minutes?
Want to know how?

Hey, TubeBuddies, welcome to today's video.
As creators, we can have a lot of tasks
that end up being repetitive and tedious,
but very, very necessary, like adding description box links
and updating your end cards in your screens.
But what if I told you there's a whole bunch of ways
that you can save time
so that you can get back to what you want to do,
which is creating and spend less time
on what you don't want to do,
which is actually setting up all that stuff?
I know exactly where you are when you're thinking about
how do I balance everything
that I need to do in my real life
with everything with my online life?
So let me show you from personal experience
how much time TubeBuddy has given me back in my life
because of bulk actions.
And if you want to be even more impressed,
check out this number from TubeBuddy itself
on their own YouTube channel
on how much time we've saved using our own tools.
Now I'd love to give you some of your time back as well
so let's go ahead and dive into how using bulk actions
can save you time.
Now, something common that we do see with a lot of channels
is that when they're uploading videos,
they miss a few steps on the upload checklist
or on the backside of that opportunity finder.
We did make a video on that
so I'm gonna link that up here in case you missed it
and you want to take a review of that.
But one of the best practices is going to be to make sure
that you have end screens and make sure that you have links
to other videos.
So that is commonly missed
and so if you have a lot of videos
and you've missed it on all of them,
one of the great things that you can do
is instead of trying to take time
to go into each individual video
and then decide which videos to put on
or which ends cards to do,
you can actually just use a bulk update tool from us
where we can go ahead and do a template
and apply it across all of your videos.
The best thing about this is that instead
of actually painstakingly slowly going to each video,
you're able to do it all with one fell swoop
of a single mouse click button.
Now, my favorite feature
is going to be the find, replace, and append.
So this one is very unique and special
because of the replace feature.
So a lot of the time you may have a link
that used to go one place.
Let's say you had a social media handle
and then you changed your name and you need to change it.
Instead of just finding that and deleting it,
you want to exchange it with the new updated social profile.
So this is a great way to make sure that you use this tool
and cover all of your video bases and description boxes
at the same time.
So one real-world example where this came out to play
and was highlighted was when kit.com came out
and asked everyone to change their URLs to kit.co.
So you can imagine that a lot of creators had to go out
and update a lot of description boxes and links
and what a time suck that was
on something that just seems tedious and repetitive
and you don't wanna do.
So by using the find, replace, and append tool,
I was able to find that particular string
and then change it to the one that was appropriate,
and it did it all for me across hundreds of videos
in very little time at all.
So that's why I seen this comment
from our channel buddy, Chevy Dude.
Made me so happy where he said he was able
to change out 900 video link descriptions
in under 10 minutes.
'Cause at the end of the day,
you just want it to be finished
and have it be efficient and fast.
We offer so many different ways to use bulk updates
and that's going to be everything from your cards
to your end screens to your description boxes
and even to thumbnail overlays.
So if you've never checked out bulk actions,
you should really check it out
and see how much time we can save you.
I want to take a second to put on screen our comment
