This video is about the top 5 benefits for using YouTube Annotations
Herman Drost DrostDesigns.com Are you getting your viewers to take action?
Are your viewers interacting with your videos? Do you want to convert viewers into leads?
What are annotations? Annotations are text boxes that you can add
to your videos after they have been uploaded. They encourage viewers to interact with your
content by subscribing to your channel, linking to other videos or directing them to take
action. 1. Increase viewer retention
One of Google's ranking factors is how long a person views your video.
If they leave after a few seconds then Google thinks that it did not grab your visitor's
attention. Adding annotations will increase their retention
rate. 2. Increase viewer participation
Instead of letting viewers passively watch your video, why not increase interaction by
adding subscribe buttons, calls to action and links to other videos.
3. Increase search engine rankings Since search engines only read textual content
it's a good idea to include your main keywords in annotations.
This will help boost your rankings in YouTube and Google.
4. Redirect viewers to related videos Keep your viewers engaged iby redirecting
them to another video at the end of the one they are watching.
If you create a series of related videos that link to each other it will increase the viewer
retention rate. 5. Emphasize points discussed in video
Even though you may redirect viewers using your voice, adding text boxes helps emphasize
the points you discussed and will get your viewers take action.
