YouTube annotations are text boxes and links that you can place throughout your YouTube videos. You can use these annotations to further engage your audience and encourage them to take action.
Potential Uses of YouTube Annotations
The possibilities are endless, but here are a few suggestions for using YouTube annotations:
- Let your fans know where they can buy your music: “Get my album on CD Baby.com”
- You could link to a new video from a older video that gets regular views: “Click to check out my brand new video”
- Add a message that says, “Find out about new concert dates.” Then you could link to a short video that lists your tour dates
- Add lyrics to your song
- Offer a discount code at the end of the video
- Ask viewers to “like” and “subscribe” to your video
- Translate your lyrics into another language
- You can add commentary on your own music video
- Add thought bubbles to characters in your video
