http://www.videoshadow.com: A Call To Action Overlay is a very important addition to any website. Here, you will get people to click on your link, because it literally pops in front of their face.


Here is what it says on the you tube help page:
Creating a Call-to-Action overlay

Only one overlay may appear per video at a time; if you change the overlay the original overlay information will be replaced. To create or edit a Call-to-Action overlay for your existing Promoted Videos campaign, follow these steps:

Sign in to your account at: http://www.youtube.com
Click Account at the top of your dashboard.
Click Uploaded Videos under My Videos.
Click Edit next to any video.
Fill in all required fields under Call-to-Action Overlay.
When you're done making all changes to your video, click Save Changes.
Call to Action overlays are subject to review for adherence to Google AdWords Advertising Policies. There may be a short delay while your overlay is being reviewed.

  • Hey thank you so much for this easy to understand Video I will put in to Action...

  • Great job. I just created a video that talks about the same topic that your talking about here. I sent it to you as a video response.

  • I set up a promoted account but when I clicked on "edit info" in my My Videos page, there was no call to action overlay field visible. Why?

  • Very easy to understand. Thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks well done!!

  • @tragar77 u qotta sign up for promotion

  • I don't get the "Promote" link showing up.

  • do you have the direction or a tutorial that shows the steps, because i always get an error that say "Please double-check your Call-to-Action display URL" the url i used was the one from my main page of my channel. is it ok to do that?
