Tip #1: The Fundamentals of YouTube Sharing on Facebook

To share a YouTube video on Facebook, people usually just copy and paste the URL from YouTube to Facebook or they click the "share on Facebook icon" within YouTube or some other social sharing pick on another web folio. Some people may also have tried uploading images in Facebook and adding a link to the YouTube video in the Facebook image description.

Jeremy has done some research on Facebook sharing of YouTube and found that out the top YouTube viral videos from 2013, virtually all had a very significant percent of the audience that viewed the video on Facebook. There'southward been a correlation over the years between sharing and liking on Facebook and "viral videos." But that effect is a fiddling less in 2014 going in to 2015.

A recent SocialBakers study says that Facebook-native video is overtaking YouTube video on the Facebook platform. But Jeremy remains unconvinced as the enquiry doesn't seem too extensive. Tim Schmoyer goes further to say he feels SocialBakers studies are generally too skewed towards Facebook and doesn't feel the numbers add together up. Facebook video is non the same as YouTube video, and so it'south like comparing apples to oranges with reach and views.

Tip #2: Get the Most YouTube Video Views on Facebook

Dane Golden says that YouTube production manager Andy Stack recently wrote a very popular post, ironically, on Facebook, chosen "How to successfully promote YouTube videos in the Facebook feed (Pro Tip)". A month agone Andy ran an experiment in which he posted a link to a new YouTube video in Facebook, and a regular post, instead mentioning the video in the comments.

Results: He got well-nigh 4X equally many comments saying "I saw it" in the mail service without a YouTube link than in the post with the link. Andy says this confirms what he says is by and large known, that:

Facebook give prominence to posts with videos uploaded direct to Facebook.
Later on Facebook-native video, Facebook gives secondary importance to posts with images uploaded direct to Facebook.
After native images, Facebook prioritizes text-only posts.
At the lowest priority, Facebook prioritizes posts with a YouTube link.

Andy writes that "Your YouTube video link is initially getting suppressed in your audience's feeds." So what should yous do if you lot want to share a YouTube video, and make coin from the ads that run on it, and not accept it suppressed initially? Here are Andy Stack's recommended steps for posting a YouTube video to Facebook:

Tips for Posting a YouTube Video to Facebook

Take a large-sized image snapshot/screengrab of the video that is catchy or matches the video'southward thumbnail. Or with a fiddling more effort you lot can make a short video teaser snippet of your full-length video.
The showtime thing you do to a new Facebook post is upload that image. Or upload the video teaser for better results.
Take the YouTube URL for the video and "disguise" it through a URL shortener, like bitly.com. Bonus points for using Bitly for a short URL of a playlist that starts with that video, considering you'll increase scout fourth dimension on your YouTube channel considering your adjacent video in the playlist will automatically showtime after the beginning one ends.
Write the text in your Facebook postal service and paste in the shortened URL for the video or playlist. You have to upload the photograph first so information technology registers as a photo. You can't mail the link first because Facebook will recognize it every bit a YouTube video, even though you've posted it as Bitly link.
Post it.

The More Facebook Users Lookout man a Video, The More Popular it Becomes

Facebook increases the viewability of your video postal service as interaction increases. So the more than interaction that occurs with the mail service, the more exposure it will arrive the feeds of Facebook users. Just not all social actions on Facebook behave the most weight in getting information technology promoted. "Shares" have the biggest value in this formula, so after posting, be sure to share the video with a someone. Comments have the second highest value and likes accept the third highest value.

The Bitly URL shortener trick is aimed at helping YouTubers get more ad views because instead of showing the video on Facebook, it takes the user to come across information technology on YouTube.com, where more than ads appear, including display ads.

Interesting side note: Andy notes that on the YouTube watch folio, display ads are ofttimes the No. one or No. 2 ad format for driving revenue for creators, despite their low-CPM charge per unit. Additionally, fewer In-Stream ads volition appear when a video is played within the Facebook timeline. Jeremy agrees with these tips and says "This is the world I live in. It's pretty deadening but this is almost every single matter I practice." He as well will oftentimes add a few bucks of Facebook promotion to grease the wheels and go the mail service going.

Tip#3: Getting the Most out of YouTube Videos on Facebook

Tim Schmoyer agrees with Andy Stack'south recommendations in some ways merely has some variations on the method that he has tested. He agrees that unless you're going to upload the video to Facebook, the second best choice is to upload the photograph. Only he doesn't recollect you have to shorten information technology, considering it's unlikely that Facebook buries YouTube.com URLs vs. Bitly links. Regardless, the paradigm still works the all-time in sending people to the watch page.

What Andy didn't mention was that Facebook made a alter to EdgeRank a few weeks ago where so many people were doing these "click link photos" that Facebook has now said that posts with photos with links in the description will now be suppressed. This means that they will arrive show up less in people's Facebook feeds than images without a link. Fifty-fifty with the change, Tim says it's notwithstanding the all-time method for sharing videos on Facebook.

Tim says you lot can too upload a teaser video similar Andy said, and use a call-to-action at the end of the Facebook video where people tin click to picket more than, which works on desktop or mobile. Tim has tried taking the first 20-xxx seconds of his videos, upload directly to Facebook, and end with a cliffhanger and so people will click. But the click-through rate is very low.

And then far, the numbers are not promising. Facebook videos have views, auto-plays, and user-initiated playbacks. Tim finds that user-initiated playbacks for Facebook video is around ane percent. In one example, a Facebook video has reached 836 people and the post details show that were only 4 clicks to play the video, a much lower view rate than on YouTube.

Jeremy says that people exercise a lot of liking on Facebook, but the engagement, getting people to accept action, is low in general, regardless of the content type. Tim says that he gets more likes on a Facebook video post than views – people may passively like things but not really watch. Lastly, both Tim and Jeremy strongly recommend using Facebook'south tagging function with images as it will show up to their friends and followers.
