Advice....maybe some moral support?

So this Nail Polish video is doing really well and I decided to do Part 2 to continue with that success. Here's my problem I want people who watch Part 1 to know about Part 2. I added in annotations in hoping to transfer people who watch Part 1 to watch Part 2.

Maybe I just need some moral support to tell me to move the annotations and replace them with cards, but I haven't seen that much pick up in cards for other videos and that's why I'm hesitant to remove my annotations :(

What if you add "(Part 1/2)" to the end of the video title on this video? I don't know how that effects your search ranking and all that, but usually when I see videos that are split up into multiple parts I check the description to find the next video, or wait for the annotation to direct me to the next video.
 
The big thing I've learned about cards is that they DO show up on mobile devices whereas annotations do not... if that helps you make up your mind at all.
 
Adding a 1/2 is a fantastic idea. I think it would be worth it to add cards too, especially if it's just this one video, it certainly couldn't hurt, plus you'd get the mobile users, as as mentioned.

Of course, if you use any social media, I'd post about the second part on there too. :)
 
Don't forget to add a link in the description to the part 2 video.

I would do the annotations and cards. Having both shouldn't hurt. Just don't put annotation near the card area. On the computer, I couldn't close the annotation because the card icon kept activating taking focus away from the annotation's closing X.
 
I tried cards and to add the link in the video description but my trip to Hiroshima scores way better then the other videos of that same trip... I mean I have a video of Tokyo disneyland and the second one also does not score as well. I think it is because my trip to Hiroshima comes out when you write blasian in youtube search but my other videos do not ...

I thought we had to choose either having annotation or cards? I could do both??
