Add Clickable Links to your YouTube videos

Use YouTube Cards to add clickable links to your YouTube video. Makes it easy for viewers to find your web sites, order your products, even donate to view your videos. I show how to do it here
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way you could add clickable links within your YouTube videos so viewers could click and order your products or visit your web site or view your other videos or even donate money to support your YouTube effort?
Sure, you could add links using YouTube annotations, but those links don't always show up in embedded videos or on mobile devices.
Fortunately, YouTube has a solution for this. They call it YouTube Cards and they provide an easy way to add clickable links and display cards to your videos.
Rather than try to explain YouTube Cards, the video below shows what they look like and how to add them to your videos.

As shown in the above video, adding a YouTube Card to your YouTube video is easy. It takes less than a minute and you can add multiple cards if you like. The cards can link to your web site, to products you sell, and even accept donations if you want them to.
