Youtube Banner Ads on Your Videos: Installing the Call to Action Overlay

Youtube Banner Installation: http://www.videotrafficacademy.com/ytwebinar

Ok, so after getting request after request on the exact step-by-step process for HOW to activate the Call-to-Action Overlay (you know, that little Youtube Banner Ad that sits on the lower third of your competitors' videos), I decided to actually take a video directly from the members area of Video Traffic Academy (http://www.jameswedmore.com/videotraffic) and share it with you here on Youtube.

So, watch the video, follow along and do exactly what I say in the video, and ENJOY!

Hey James,

Are you using Camtasia or what program are you using for your Screen Capture videos? I've used FastStone Capture and liked it, but like the zoom/pan feature of your software... Thanks in advance!

Wonderful content, thank you! In this scenario, it appears to me that the cost could be up to $31 per month. If I set that up on ten videos is the limit global per channel or per video, i.e., $31 or $310 per month?

Useful information

I word of caution, one of my newly created promotions got disapproved by YouTube because I entered the words "Random LIne 1" "Random Line 2" and "Random Line 3" in the promotion description. The reason YouTube gave me was that the Ad is "Unclear/Inaccurate Ad Text"

I've created a new promotion with more a reasonable description and will let everyone know how that works out.

Cheers,

Hani

Hey James! After watching your Mixergy interview, it's been on my to-do list to figure out how to do the call-to-action overlay. By making this tutorial video, you saved me so much time on researching how it works. Really appreciate your sharing this with all of us. I just implemented overlays on all my videos this morning! Can't wait to see what the results will be like.

Thanks James, It's working for me. I do note that it won't work on a Stupeflix video.

QUESTION: Why did you use a word like insurance as the keyword. I didn't understand the reasoning for your choice of a very active keyword????

Hey James...I've been trying to get this YouTube Overlay working but I still don't have any luck. I followed your instructions and am getting other people's ads still (not my overlay). Could it be related to the fact that I'm in Canada?

Is anyone else having trouble outside of US?

I'd really appreciate your help brotha.
