Adding links to your YouTube channel is a great way to direct viewers to your website, affiliate pages, or social profiles. These links appear in your banner section and About tab — a small but powerful way to drive external traffic.

Here’s how to add clickable links to your YouTube channel:

1. Go to YouTube Studio
Visit studio.youtube.com and sign in with your account.

2. Navigate to Customization
In the left-hand sidebar, click Customization → Basic info.

3. Scroll to “Links”
Under Links, click Add link.

4. Add a Title and URL
For example:

You can add multiple links — perhaps to your website, newsletter, or social platforms.

5. Choose How Many Links to Display on the Banner
Scroll down to Links on banner, and select how many you’d like visible (up to five).

6. Publish Changes
Click Publish in the top-right corner to make your updates live.

Pro Tips:

  • Keep link titles short and clear — “Join My Newsletter” performs better than “Click Here.”

  • Add your affiliate or tool links strategically to maximize engagement.

  • Review links regularly to make sure none are broken or outdated.

Adding channel links helps convert casual viewers into subscribers, leads, or customers — all from your main YouTube profile.
