How To Link Your RUclips Video From Facebook The Right Way

[@stagesofcj]

There's a much easier and simpler way to do this. Once you paste the video link into a Facebook post, you can delete the 'preview' by clicking the little x in the corner of the automated thumbnail that appears, and replace it by uploading the still image custom thumbnail you've created for the video. Then your followers will just click the link which will open the video in RUclips.

[@ericcoopersomatics]

Excellent tip, thank you.

[@DryGuysNJ]

Thank you! I never realized I was doing it wrong this whole time! Our Facebook videos tend to get more views than our RUclips ones.

[@SaptarishisAstrology108]

Many many thanks for your suggestion. This was the mistake i have been doing since a year and i realised something was wrong since the views were not adding up. God bless you

[@TobyOft]

Thank you so SO much - I'm using this to try to bring traffic to my live master classes. Congratulations on all your great work, it has helped me so much!!

[@rookyofficial]

Thank you thank you thank you! I've been wracking my brain trying to find away around the YT - Facebook turf war. haha

[@gloryb-tv]

I've heard about this before - that RUclips doesn't count views on videos with links right in the post (not good for monetized channels!).
Thanks for the reminder.
This stinks, though, for trying to use something like Hootsuite to schedule posts.
You asked how we're going to use this.... The uptick in views has already started! The US Thanksgiving holiday starts it off and it goes until Christmas Day. (Some newer channel creators might not know this!) For some odd reason, the views/watch time drop between Christmas and New Year's Day (when I think it should still be high!) I've been telling newer channel creators to promote at least 1 video per day on their social media accounts between now and Christmas to "catch the wave" of the high amount of viewing people do worldwide at this time of the year!
Thanks, David!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

I had been using the full URL in the description on FB. This really makes it so much easier, thanks! :)

[@MakeitExtreme]

Really helpful! Thanks!

[@TechyAsit]

Thanks! Really Helped!

[@JamieBSL]

I doubt it at first but been doing this way for few videos, it's working so well, thank you so much!

[@nraugpheejhmoochannel5999]

hi nyob zoo

[@leifstille3716]

Great stuff! Just started posting my songs on youtube and sharing the videos on Fb but was a bit set back by the(lack of) response. I will follow your advice and see what happens. Cheers!

[@Blacolyte]

Perfect mate! Very helpful. I really do appreciate this. Thanks for to content!

[@markonlife]

Great advice David! I just started using a thumbnail and putting the link in the main post, but this step further is even better. Makes sense. Thanks. Wish I'd known this back at episode 1!!

[@ManangGesayVlogs]

Hi Subscribe my channel

[@SteveTurtle]

Thanks, I had no idea! I'll try that technique.

[@JackHannibal1]

Just finished a series of vids for my website and want to add them now to a FB biz page. I'm going to check this out. Thanks.

[@LaceyShihTzu]

Thank you SO much, David! I know that the views on my FB vids were not making it over to YT, so this is such a great tip. Off to try it now ;)

[@LynsCaribbeanKitchen]

Lacey Shih Tzu did you try it? did it work?

[@Veenav]

Yasss, I was in RUclips HQ a few weeks ago, love it there! I will always promote my youtube video on FB in this way, but I also will take some of my video and upload it natively to FB a day after it goes live on youtube x

[@bubbuddy986]

Veena V hi

[@bubbuddy986]

Veena V hi

[@augimusicdotcom484]

I'll have to try that. Best of both worlds!

[@impressivegraphix9382]

Thank you very much. I had heard that Facebook doesn't show your post to much of anyone if you've posted a link to RUclips. This will help get around that annoying system.

[@nurseryrhymes]

Good tip. Love it - thanks!

[@AnthonyLazaroMusic]

Wow, another super useful tutorial David: I was serially doing that mistake :D

[@bubbuddy986]

Anthony Lazaro Music hi hi

[@MascaratoMidnight]

GENIUS!!!!!! Thank you SO much. New subbie.

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

Yep I was doing it wrong... Glad you showed us this. I wish Google/FB/microsoft would all learn how to play nice with each other... Thanks for showing us this.

[@FannyRitterMilz]

Just needed this David. Many thanks!

[@hairstyleliz]

thank you so much, this is actually what i'm looking for ....will try right now!!

[@WindsweptRobert]

Thanks David, I've been doing it wrong for ages! Starting to use your 'trick' from now on!

[@conceptartmasters]

Thank you, I'm testing out this right now. Looks a lot better than the way facebook shows when you embed or paste in the link.

[@looknowtv]

Happy Holidays David!! I will be @ the NY Space RUclips Holiday party here in New York soon!! Good video. Learn something new everyday. I had no idea!!! I just did this for the first time on my new video. Thanks!

[@looknowtv]

Sure! Still waiting on my Silver button note. Still nothing after a about a month now. I guess i will keep it out of my mind until i get the notice. Happy Holidays!

[@jerrybrock9811]

It worked great, just did my first one.....TY so much.

[@LesleyChristine]

Thanks for the tip! I’ve just started a channel and am trying to figure out how to get it going.

[@davesproket]

Wow ... So easy, Can't believe i didn't do this.. Thanks for the tip!!

[@babtanian]

Thank you very much ( : I'm not a regular RUclipsr in the sense that I upload content as frequent as daily / weekly, etc., but I shoot and produce a lot of video for my various musical projects, Blu-ray productions and occasional product reviews. First, I wasn't aware that views from Facebook didn't translate over to the RUclips Channel, which explains a few things. This is a great piece of information, and I literally just employed it. Thanks again.

[@MatthewFinlay]

You just blew my mind - and I love it! Thank you!

[@Tatakids]

Thank you

[@Austinroofingcontractors]

Your videos are very exacting, thanks for such good lessons so brief!

[@LisaYoungUK.]

Wow, I didn't realise the old way never counted! Thanks

[@blackbeltsecrets]

Hey, thanks for this - I have been going mad because I have a Facebook group with 100,000 members and the links I posted produced NO views on my RUclips videos!! I knew there would be something stopping the magic happening but now I’m going to try this! Thanks again

[@EnglishwithMax]

Thanks for this really useful video! I was wondering why my posts with just text were getting more views than my posts with links. It all makes sense now... Even if RUclips counts some of the views on Facebook, there's a less chance people on Facebook will see it as it favours text and photo posts. I'm sure you know that (or even said that!), but I'm just learning this type of thing!

[@paybertingtv8732]

Thanks a bunch! You've been so helpful.❤️👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

That was great, David. Thanks for sharing.

[@theGodKingg]

Has to be a faster of of doing this lol. Great info and keep up the good work!

[@aishushainush4654]

Thanks for your time

[@podcastkiki]

Thank you, David! Trying it this way and I will let you know how it works - fingers crossed!!

[@Monoperty]

Thanks David, I will change the way I post my videos on FB 👍 Do you recommend using the RUclips tab within FB? (connecting your YT account to FB).

[@NigelHarperPhoto]

Wow! Like many others I guess, I'd no idea about the views not counting from FB. So thanks for the info!

[@BigHitBuda]

Thanks for the info. Going to try this now. Curious to see if the FB comments will show up on my YT video.

[@indaytv7396]

Thank you for sharing this vedeo

[@TiffwithMi]

Hi David, I would like to ask if it is ok to have links to instagram under the description of a fb video/post? would it affect the views like how having a RUclips link does?

[@theRaeCast]

Fantastic thanks so much David..

[@ThinkBritishEnglish]

Hi David , I just did a little test with a video that only had 2 views all day on my channel, it seems you can do it exactly how you said with a pic but you can put the shortened URL in the main post instead of comments and it registers as a view on RUclips. That's also easier for sharing to other Facebook groups, Marc

[@Splendid365]

Thank You!!! Perfectly answered my question!! I’ve been scratching my head watching my FB views soar and my RUclips views stagnate for the same vids. Now I finally see the light and it’s easy peasy! Next - do you have tips on how to make thumbnails? Cheers!!

[@BellaVlogsLife]

Thanks for this info, I’ll give that a try :)

[@kingkaratechop3978]

Thank you very much! I am definitely going to try this technique to help grow my channel!

[@ACROlife]

SO GOOD Thank you SO MUCH.... i get so many views when i post the video to facebook but goes nowhere to build my channel. going to try this. Your brilliant thanks

[@shopfortennis7022]

Thanks David. Really helpful. Cheers, Darren

[@rumispeaks1]

thx David for your priceless support

[@fredapayne1976]

Thank you so much for the info

[@tradingtimeformoneyshouldb1851]

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful 👍🏼.

[@creativewritingprose6387]

Thank you for the tip.

[@Thirstytraveler41]

That's great...I've been doing it the wrong way..Thanks for sharing.

[@sportslive1216]

That's great helpful video.

[@Freetvkausty]

Hey mate, thank you.
You are advance than time.
I'm watching this in 2020

[@Hilson-vw3rp]

Thanks for sharing that was a perfect explanation. We lost many views from Facebook.

[@fredwallace4357]

thank you David it really did work

[@OlgaDyrektorenko]

Thank you David, I had no idea the FB views did not count! I'll definitely do it the new way from now on!

[@DavidHarperAntiquesTV]

Thank you, that worked great

[@reecemoore2636]

Thank you so much!

[@KaizenMMAAkademijaBeograd]

Hi David, thanks for the useful info.
Linking to a blog post containing our video should be fine, right?
Whenever I make a video, I also put up a blog post with the same name where I embed that video and transcribe it.
Although the viewer has an additional step (click on the post then click on the video), it will be counted as a view and they are on our website where we have the liberty to do whatever we want (optins, popus...).

[@Automationacademytv]

Thanks man it really helps me especially for the new on business

[@ebviboy]

Thank You so much!

[@BarryEuphorik]

I didn't know that about plays on the imbed on FB not being counted. Will take note and apply this way of doing it now. Thanks again for more great info.

[@BarryEuphorik]

David WalshOnline BTW does this also apply to Twitter and Tumblr imbeds?

[@enlightenedtrainingOU812]

Such value. Thank you so much:)

[@nikhil6478]

thanks David...
this is really helpfull

[@MONDERU]

Had no idea! Thanks man

[@AngelALifestyleEda74]

Yeah thanks for this sir. Huh, will try this right away 😊

[@wastelandamvs9530]

wow.. I had no idea
thanks mister 🙇🙇

Thanks for making this useful video!

[@nickkeomahavong01]

thank you for the content. I can ask the reason why you suggest putting a shorten url versus the whole url? just curious.

[@connecting2spirit]

I believe so that it doesn't get identified on FB as a RUclips video. See Geekism's comment above...

[@nature-agt3725]

Thanks for the video! It is very helpful!

[@AnnasDrawingChannel]

Ah! This was amazing! :D

[@StuartCarter]

Hey David, I get all of this, thank you, makes sense! However... I am with the guy who asked below... What happens if someone shares your post?? The comment wouldnt be there with the link in... they would just be sharing a photo...

[@KSG2024]

Thank you for sharing this.. It helps me a lot coz that's how i promote my videos from youtube to facebook, but i directly share the link... Now because of the info you shared, I will do like that next time... Thanks again 👍😊

[@Rocklicks72]

Thanks David, I didn't know that

[@Rocklicks72]

David WalshOnline I've seen a massive difference already 😊😊

[@ArtiStoryJam]

Hi...Thanks this seems very helpful and confirms my suspicions that I am just.not.visible to people on my FB. I tried posting the link as you said but still not much different yet (still watching!)...Do you think FB has caught on to this and is now blocking posts with URLs in comments as well? PLEASE UPDATE!!! Thanks again for an awesome channel. I found it this morning and I have been watching nothing else!

[@BlueLighttricks]

Thank You Sir . Fantastic Information share your video.

[@Dignity100]

A HUGE Thank You!!!

[@FixCBitC]

excellent. I have missed out on so much!

[@tubejim101]

Hey, thanks. Can i download my video thumbnails from youtube?

[@AuthenticSound]

THIS...............I did not know and coming from you, it must be true. Definitely gone try it.

It's good i stumble to your channel ☺ it's an old vodeo but still very helpful thank you very much

[@thewillofgodtv6515]

Thanks, David for the nice trick. God bless...

[@elledelia]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful, was getting so confused why I wasn’t getting any views when I know my friends/family were watching. Can anyone tell me if Instagram has a special way I should upload links? Xx

[@easymix6526]

Thank u so much for sharing

[@lucarionitetimes2858]

Thanks so much!!!! You are the man!!!!!!

[@vlak-gaming1786]

Great video. I'm new to RUclips and I'm manually adjusting subtitles which takes hours. What are you using to get subtitles on your video?
Thanks in advance.

[@BlossomBlueGamer]

so informative. thank you so much. I learned something from you.
