In this new article, we are talking about YouTube Videos and more specifically how to download YouTube videos.
Let’s get started!
Marketers are always looking for innovative ways to promote their business.
Particularly those involved in affiliate opportunities where sales or referral videos are used.
In this article, we will show you the best online resources to download YouTube videos and videos from other social sites and make them your own.
As an affiliate of a business, you are often supplied with very useful marketing material some of this often comprises of videos you can embed on your site or YouTube videos that you can embed.
The problem is that everyone else in the business also has that very same marketing material.
So it can be very difficult to stand out from the crowd.
Let’s say everyone is using the same really good marketing video that the company supplies and allows you to use.
It shows and tells those viewing everything they need to know about the business and converts really well.
You would use it as well, right?
The problem being is that that same video will have been seen so many times and when someone does stumble across your version they are more likely to pass it by as its been popping up all over social media.
Your potential audience gets bored or seeing the same thing.
There is another good reason for making the content your own with YouTube and that has to do with SEO and YouTube.
We will talk more about that later.
So how do we make the marketing videos our own?
Simple, you download the video that you want to use from the business site or you download the video from YouTube.
Then you add an intro of yourself introducing the video or you just change the thumbnail that shows when the video appears on the page ready for someone to click play.
This way the video appears new and is far more likely to get fresh clicks
Making videos and YouTube Videos your own
NB – Please check the copywrite limitations of any videos that you want to download.
Are you permitted to download them?
If you are going to use video marketing material then the best course of action is to download the videos and then add them to your own YouTube Channel.
You can if you want just to download them and then add them directly to your own WordPress by uploading and then embedding them.
The reality is that if you first add the videos to your own YouTube Channel first you then give yourself a very good social media stream that you can use to promote.
And a really big reason for using YouTube is there is far more potential for hits and views on YouTube then there probably is on your own site or splash page.

YouTube Video SEO
I mentioned YouTube Video SEO near the start of this article when I was saying it was a good idea to make affiliate marketing materials more unique to you.
So here is how it works.
After you have downloaded a YouTube video you just edit the video add an image as a thumbnail that will show when someone comes across your video, something just to change it from the default image that shows on everyone else’s version of the same content.
You can if you wish to create a new start where you introduce the video to make it more personable.
Or you can just upload the video as is.
Uploading the video as is still very beneficial because of YouTube SEO.
When you upload a video you get to give it a name meaning that you can brand it to you. Use great keywords that you have done research on. You really can make a unique title that will help you get found on YouTube.
Add a description
Next, you can add in a long description again with lots of good keywords and hashtags and the big bonus is you get to add in links of your choice.
YouTube gives you 5000 characters to use for your description and that is more than enough.
Make sure that you do target the main keyword phrase within your title and related keywords in your description.
Keep the first line of your description brief no more than the first 157. This first sentence will appear as a snippet in search so get your keyword phrase as close to the start as you can to help your SEO.
Link back to your blog just after the first sentence.
You don’t want the link to appear in the snippet but you also don’t want it to be hidden beneath the “Show More” section of the Description field. so just after the first sentence is the optimal position to add the link to your site.
Towards the end of the description, you can add in your social channels.
Use your description to cross-promote your blog and online presence.
Add some closely related hashtags and your description is good to go.
Thumbnails
Before you publish your video you are offered 1 of 3 thumbnails taken from the video that you can use.
This makes the start of the video before it plays different from everyone else’s video and so helps with your clicks and views.
There is a big chance to do some cool optimizations with YouTube Video SEO. You just set up your SEO as if you are writing a blog.
Add Keywords in the title. Make your title serve a purpose by offering a solution or giving an answer to cover the viewers intent when searching on YouTube.
Add related keywords into subtitles and generally just write about the product or service or business.
For a full in-depth SEO Guide, you can check out my SEO Guide 2018. It’s quite a long read at 5000+ words but then it does cover everything.
You will be able just to skip through a lot of it and focus on the sections that talk about keywords and structuring the text.
That’s all for now.

I wanna suggest an extension that you might find useful. This extension lets you watch videos while you do other things on your laptop. It’s a resizable window so you can watch stuff while you work. The only flaw it has is that it doesn’t allow music videos to be played on their window, because they are licensed content.

Love it or hate it, Chrome is brimming with features and customizability”
Only those that are googly-eyed care about Chrome’s features and customizability. Those who ‘hate it’ couldn’t care less.
If someone needs StayFocusd to force them back to work, there is a very good chance they will find some other way than surfing the ‘Net to waste time and not work.

Another great extension is ‘Search Google for Image’. Right clicking the image above gives links that tell us it is some sort of speaker that bombards a microprocessor with sound waves that force it to accept commands. The heading for the article is ‘It’s Possible to Hack a Phone with Sound Waves’.
I’d love it to have been a USB microscope though, but I suspect they are out there.

Pretty much all screen capture plugins can take screenshots of a whole page. I am using Nimbus but they can pretty much all do it. With Nimbus, you can select between capturing the whole page, only the visible part or a selected area … then you can edit it if you need (crop it, blur some parts, add arrows to point something, add texts, circle things, etc…). I really recommend it instead of the one you talked about in the

Hi man! First of all, you and your website is awesome! Second, I’ve noticed through the duck duck go extension that the gmail website is not very secure. I don’t want to drop my gmail account, so I was thinking of using email software on my pc or maybe another website where I can check my email. Could you do a video on that? I’m already looking for secure places where I can check my email, but if you can make a post that would be awesome.
