“How to Customize YouTube Videos”
“How do you customize youtube videos?”
“How do you customize and omit those
annoying videos that pop up after your
youtube video is finished playing?”
“How do I embed a video into my website?”
These questions are ones I’ve heard at least
a hundred times over the last couple months
of building my business online.
In this short 3-minute video tutorial you’re
going to learn how to do exactly that.
And I also threw in some bonuses in there as well.
But first, allow me to share with you the importance
of omitting those little annoying videos that pop
up at the end of your videos.
BTW, those little annoying vids have a name. The
name is “related videos”.
The best way for me to do this is by
giving you a scenario.
Here it is:
You decide on a topic, do some research on how to
best teach others that particular topic, pull some content
together, write up a little something about it (maybe more
than a little), prepare your video equipment, dress well,
put your makeup on and fix your hair, record your video
(in some cases more than 5 takes if your son yells
for snacks, wants you to read him a story, or needs the
potty, etc.).
I’m not done yet…
Don’t forget to upload your video from your camera,
convert it if it needs converting, edit if need be,
upload to youtube or viddler or whatever, enter
the description of your video, enter some tag words,
set your video settings, and finally view it one last
time to make sure it’s ready for public viewing.
High Five for getting this far!
Now that you have viewers you want to make sure
that you have their full attention…period!
If the related videos pop up, yes that most likely means
they watched through your entire video…BUT then now
they are distracted from the related vids, they click on
one of it and then they forget your video, your name,
and what you just talked about.
Okay, I’m sure you get my point on why it’s important
to take out those related vids that pop up at the end of
your videos.
Now what you’re gonna do is watch this video
I made for you and then leave a comment right after that.
See, you appreciated the bonuses, right?
Alright, now you know how simple it is to customize
your youtube videos. There is so much more you
can do. That said, I’ll be making some vids within
the next coming weeks or sooner on how to customize
your youtube vids even further.
So watch out for that.
Navigate up to the Facebook and Twitter buttons
on the top right hand side and share this with your
tribe, community, who ever, where ever!
Just get it out there and spare as many people
as possible, the distractions of what’s at the end of
their hard working videos.

It was so difficult to do this at first. I just couldn’t find that little button over there on the side of YT site to do this. I knew it could be done.. Now, I know.. thanks, Jacyln.

Since learning that you became more confident almost instantaneously just from reading the tips on this post brought smiles to my face
Gotta share an update with you that you probably already figured out by now because you’re smart like that.
Click on the “embed” button on the bottom right hand side of a youtube video and then from there uncheck the box that reads “include related videos”.
You’re all set! They recently made changes to youtube.
You are so very welcome! Rock on!

Thank you Jaclyn. I just wanted to leave a note that since Youtube change their site around a little bit, if you click on embed below your video now you can make those same changes. Just wanted to leave an update…
