Step 2: Go to YouTube settings as shown in picture below.

 

 

Step 3: Click “Do not allow advertisements to display….”

You’re all set! This is a global setting, so it does not need to be done for each video, just once!

Now, just make sure your video has some key words such as your location and business type (senior photography in Altoona, IA for example) and then put a link to your website. The key here is to use the http:// and it will automatically hyperlink.
