Hi, I just made a wonderful movie with a girl and I need to put somewhere on the movie or in the description bellow a link to her website where people can find her and buy her services. Do you know if I am allowed to do this? I saw people doing it but I am not sure and I do not want her profile down or something... Can you please help? I tried to search on you tube help but didnt find any. Thanks.
Yeah, no problem. Hopefully you keyword optimized your video! Go ahead and add your main keyword as the first thing in the description then a link including http:// to the website. Complete allowed and encouraged! What you do not want to do is set up any annotations taking people away to outside sites.
You should put up a trailer and you are allowed to add the link in the description, so you are good to go. The thing is you need to create a good promotional video if you want people to click on the link.
You can go to the "Video Manager", click "Edit", then choose "Annotations", then click on " +Add Annotation" and you can choose between - Speech Bubble, Note, Title, Spotlight or/and Label. I prefer "Speech Bubble" as it works for me. Then in the "Basic Info" setting you should put your website with the http:// infront of your website URL so that the public can click and go directly to your website. Hope it helps.
