Annotations, and what they link to.

[iButtonsi]

Hi Guys, I am Buttons.

I have a quick question / strat that could come in handy.

In my videos I have an outro and after that I link to my older videos in hopes for clicks and views.
I was doing some research, and saw that many youtubers link to playlists in the annotations.

This seems like a good idea, linking to playlists is a great way to get your audience to keep watching and possibly subscribe.

What do you guys think of this strategy?

Hey there! For my outro I use the annotations to link to previous videos, but never full playlists. I think that it could be a good idea, but people might be annoyed that the playlist might be too long and then just leave your channel. I think you should try it, but don't make a very long playlist. Link to videos that relate to the video you are on, or link to a playlist of your best work. Good luck!

Hmmm.... I will have to give that a try as well. I haven't used any annotations at all.

I always link to playlists~ It's so cool seeing how long people could spend in 1 playlist ^^


Playlists are awesome~~ (that's from the last 28 days) XD

I normally just do the last video, but I've not been doing it recently since I've been pressed for time because of college.

I do like a previous video + random video kinda thing.
