One of my pet hates is the related videos that show at the
end of every one of my YouTube videos.
Up until December last year you could go into the share
section and untick the box to show related videos.
In December, YouTube in their infinite wisdom decided to
take away this feature and now forces the related videos on every video shown
on YouTube.
This is really frustrating as some of these videos are
embedded on my Website and at the end of the video may move a prospect or client
away from my site and I could lose business.
I have found three solutions to overcome this challenge.
1 – When making your video, at the end of the video just add
20 seconds of black space. The related videos will still show, but people
watching will close the video long before it gets to the end of the 20 seconds.
2 – Put in a great call to action (see below) at the end of
your video for viewers to connect to one of your other videos or to your
channel. Also make this about 20 seconds long, so that the viewer will either
click to your channel or other videos or close the video before the related
videos show.
3 – Use other hosting platforms like Wistia or Vimeo (paid version) who at
this stage don’t force the related videos.
