To have that filled out but there's also An opportunity there for you to link to An external website which is going to be Your website your blog the place where You want to drive traffic and you can Also include social media links so I Have a link to my Pinterest account as Well as my interestinger account all Within the About section and it just Kind of completes your youtube profile And I don't know if you ever noticed This before but the links that you Include in your account section can Actually appear in your channel art or Your channel header so one of the things That you can do is include a certain bit Of text which is hyperlink to the page That you are leading to and let's say That you want to really promote an email Opt-in or your start here page or maybe Your shop page if you have products that You want your audience to shop you can Include that as your link in your header And possibly if you want to take it up a Notch you could use your art and point Down to that website link and say shut My products here or sign up for this Free checklist here you can really draw Them in with your channel art if you Want to now personal preference I do not Use this strategy I've seen other Creators use it and I really think it is It's good it's good but for me Personally I just wanted something cute
Something that was good with my branding So my channel art does not do that but It is an option if you are interested in The very last place that you want to Make sure that you include direct the Links leading to your website is Actually within the description bar Below each and every video and there are Two strategies that you can use the First one is just to include some Generic links down there so I like to Include a link to my website I'll link To join my VIP team I have a link to all Of my products down there as well as a Link to all of my social media channels And then you also want to make sure that You are including all the links to the Relevant blog posts they either go along With the YouTube video that you Specifically mentioned in the YouTube Video or other ones that you just think Your audience may like because they Watch that YouTube videos and the very Last if I have for you guys seriously This is a game changer so if you are not Doing this you need to start Incorporating this within your strategy And that is to create separate blog Posts for every single one of your YouTube videos so it's not enough to Just include your YouTube videos within Your blog post charlotte's enhancing Your content that's great and I highly Recommend it but if you want to drive
