Do you want to more engagement from your viewers?
Do you want to place a free clickable ad banner across on your YouTube video?

The call to action overlay adds a small clickable banner to the bottom of your video so you can direct viewers to a landing page or social media site.

Here are the steps to add a free call to action overlay on your YouTube video...

Log into your adwords account
Go to adwords.google.com
I'm going to the drop down box
Click "online video"
Enter all your details...campaign name, video, etc
Choose a budget like $5.00 but you won't be paying that at all
Nnetworks you can leave that as is
Leave countries as is
Add your video URL
Leave in-stream ad checked
Uncheck in-display
Put in your display URL
Put your full URL in here..the destination URL
Add a companion banner if you want...I'll leave it as is
Leave the ad name as it is
Save and continue

Once you've set up the campaign you'll have to wait for your ad to be reviewed by Google and once it's reviewed you'll get approved.
Pause your campaign so you don't pay anything.

Click on "Add Call-To-Action overlay"
Add your headline ie..Get Free YouTube Traffic
Add Display URL ..ie drostdesigns.com
Add your destination URL which is the full URL of your landing page
Leave enabled on mobile then just click save.

Let's check the video....
And here you can see my call to action overlay banner
If I click on it it will redirect me to the landing page.

Keep in mind this banner only appears for a few seconds and as you can see I'm not paying anything for the call to action overlay

Now if you log into your YouTube channel you go to the "info and settings" tab. You'll see a new link down at the bottom of your video
Click on "call-to-action overlay" and you'll see a display URL, destination URL, your headline and image.

If you make any changes to this and then click save, changes will be reflected in your video.

That's it!

Here's an important thing to keep in mind....
If you've already added a YouTube Card to your video your call to action overlay will not appear. Therefore make sure you only add the call to action overlay to the videos that don't contain Cards.
