1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:04,200
All right, so now let's talk about the describe the importance of description links and why you should

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,820
focus on this and what you need to know now.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,670
It's important to focus on this.

4
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:12,890
And this is something that I've been recently really been focusing on and I've changed my approach.

5
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,320
So my approach used to be just like as many links as possible.

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:16,580
Right.

7
00:00:16,590 --> 00:00:18,450
I'd put like my my course links in there.

8
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:20,460
Then I put, like, affiliate links that were relevant.

9
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:20,730
Right.

10
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:23,700
Then I put like links to my social underneath that.

11
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:28,410
Then at the bottom, I put like other random affiliate links that, you know, thinking like, hey,

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,330
every potential link is a potential chance for me to get a click to potentially drive a little bit more

13
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:38,480
traffic to an affiliate offer or, you know, an affiliate product or a course link.

14
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:38,690
Right.

15
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:41,070
It's more chance for me to make more money.

16
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:41,500
Right.

17
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:46,980
But that is the wrong approach on YouTube and one that I see so many people doing.

18
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:50,880
We're also going to talk now about how that affects your videos and why here in a second.

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,480
But more importantly, I just wanna talk about why less is more.

20
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:56,290
Especially with your links.

21
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:56,550
Right.

22
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:02,430
So first of Hormoz, it's too cluttered if you happen to notice a description full of like 20 links

23
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:03,720
or a lot of links.

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,250
It's too much.

25
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:09,300
And what it does is it takes the importance off the links that you do.

26
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:10,470
One clicked.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,410
So I'd recommend maybe picking and choosing between five to ten important links, Max.

28
00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:21,180
I would say they're closer to the five ish side that you want to drive traffic to.

29
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:25,260
The reason being, if you have, let's say, like a course that you're selling or maybe you want to

30
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:29,760
push it to an affiliate commission that our affiliate link that you were earning, Commission two,

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,100
or maybe you want you're strictly trying to drive people to your social media on other platforms.

32
00:01:34,110 --> 00:01:34,380
Right.

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,740
That should mean the few links that you're doing at most, because if you start adding other links,

34
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:42,180
you might think that they're relevant.

35
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:47,580
But it takes the other potential chance that people are going to click the links that you want clicked

36
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:50,970
because there's so many more opportunities to click a link in there.

37
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:51,270
Right.

38
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:57,300
So pick and choose five to 10 max potentially good links that you want in there.

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Less is more.

40
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:01,900
Now, it does matter for the algorithm as well.

41
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,140
Right.

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,480
The less links, the better.

43
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:07,980
And it's not just because it potentially clutter's viewers and eyes when people click into description

44
00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:11,850
and see 30 links and think, oh, and they get overwhelmed and they don't click any of them.

45
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:12,150
Right.

46
00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:13,590
It's not just because of that.

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,950
Also YouTube's algorithm, I'll read directly from the actual quote from the YouTube algorithm.

48
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:26,370
YouTube's algorithm rewards channels and videos that keep people watching a longer.

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,260
They've said this time and time again.

50
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:33,660
So one of the most important metrics, and I've covered the YouTube algorithm in depth so many times.

51
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:39,270
One of the YouTube, the most important two metrics is session start in session stop time.

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:39,450
Right.

53
00:02:39,510 --> 00:02:45,180
So if you bring put simply, if you bring somebody to YouTube from your channel or your video, well,

54
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:47,310
then you get a bump in rank for your channel or your video.

55
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:53,730
However, on the contrary, if someone leaves your channel or your video leaves YouTube from your channel,

56
00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:56,310
your video, then you get a decrease in rank.

57
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:56,880
Right.

58
00:02:56,940 --> 00:02:58,290
It's very, very simple.

59
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:05,340
So there's actually an army or an argument between people right now whether the algorithm actually scans

60
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:09,000
a video and sees how many links are in the description.

61
00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:13,740
And obviously, the more links, the more handicap potentially it puts on you.

62
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:15,420
I don't necessarily know about that.

63
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:17,700
I don't subscribe to that actual argument.

64
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:18,760
There's two different sides.

65
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:19,580
Some people say it does.

66
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:20,460
Some people say it doesn't.

67
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:24,020
I air more on the side of not necessarily agreeing with that.

68
00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:27,790
I don't know that the algorithms like scanning videos to see, oh, you have 20 links.

69
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:30,240
So we're gonna penalize you more than than a video with five.

70
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:30,520
Right.

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,060
That said, put simply, more links is just more potential chance for people to leave.

72
00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:40,950
So even if the algorithm is not scanning more links, more potential chance for you to leave.

73
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:45,990
Obviously, the more potential chance you get a decrease interact because people have a better chance

74
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:48,060
to leave YouTube from your video.

75
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:48,300
Right.

76
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:49,920
So just keep that in mind.

77
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:51,660
I'm not saying not to link.

78
00:03:51,930 --> 00:03:52,830
I do it as well.

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:00,630
I'm only saying to waste or put put simply, only waste a link on something that you think is worth

80
00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:00,750
it.

81
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:03,090
So just to give you two examples of videos really fast.

82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,200
I just have so many links to my videos and I cut them all out on purpose.

83
00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:10,450
Now I'm driving it to some very few links.

84
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:10,660
Right.

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,030
I got my entrepeneur academy.

86
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:16,230
I've got my free passive income training and I've gotten my consulting.

87
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:20,350
And then I also drive a little bit of in some of the videos to some of my social media.

88
00:04:20,370 --> 00:04:20,580
Right.

89
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:22,980
So that's a total of six links right there.

90
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:25,260
It used to be like 20 to 30.

91
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:26,700
So I highly recommend.

92
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:28,630
And this is the same with the other videos as well.

93
00:04:28,650 --> 00:04:29,460
It's not just this one.

94
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:33,060
It's that's the only links I'm trying to I've really kind of gone to.

95
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:34,180
The less is more.

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,800
And I recommend that you do as well.
