How well do you know your way around YouTube – well enough to hack it so it becomes one of your most powerful tools? As the third biggest website and second biggest search engine, this video site should be super high up on your list of priorities. Here’s the full scoop on expert YT skills to give you an edge over your competition in the race for views, likes, and comments.
Ever want to share a video – but not the whole thing? Now you can send links to your videos already skipped to the point you want to start playing. This is a lot easier than it sounds: simply got to share, then check the “start at” box and add the time you want to start playing.
Sounds difficult? Then just right click on the video screen at the point you want to start the video when sharing and click on “copy video URL at current time”. Does it get any easier than this? I don’t think so!
Need a transcript for your video for subtitles, an article, or juicy quotes, but don’t want to pay someone to do it (or worse, do it yourself?) That’s cool, YT has you covered here, too. Simply click on “more” under the video title and select transcript. It’s that easy!
Note that not everyone has these – which is a shame for them, as they can massively improve your videos SEO. It’s very easy to edit or upload your own as subtitles. There are quite a few choices here, but we recommend going with a professional service.
