Starting August 31, 2023, links in YouTube Shorts comments and descriptions will become un clickable.
YouTube is removing banner links entirely beginning August 10.
Creators can add new profile links to showcase important content.

We’ve a breaking Youtube new update and I’ve right here from the source as of August 31st there are no longer going to be links in the description of Youtube Shorts or Youtube Shorts comments, this is coming officially directly from Team Youtube and is posted in the Youtube Community Forum. So starting August 31st links in Youtube Shorts Comments, Youtube Shorts Description and links in the vertical Youtube live stream feed will no longer be clickable on Youtube.

Youtube new update 2023 will roll out gradually Youtube also removing the clickable Social Media icons on all desktop channel banners as these can be a source of misleading links, So they’re updating and changing this across multiple different things here.

Youtube Shorts Creators, you’re not going have to links that go out to the affiliate or to your sponsors for your brand deals, and you also if you’re using the Youtube Live Stream vertical video for format which is not by itself a Youtube Short, it could be a Youtube Live Stream that’s going to affect you as a Youtube Streamer.

If you’re doing the strictly vertical feed videos for Youtube Live Streams and then for the rest of Content Creators, the social media banner links at the top of page on desktop that’s going away as well it’s going to be replaced with something else.

Now, Youtube update has taken place August 31st will gradually roll out for people and the main reason behind Youtube update is there’s a massive problem as many of you’re familiar with Spam and Phishing and the fact that so many people can put out Youtube Shorts very quickly compared to regular long-form videos, like this means that, that just makes more people vulnerable, who are consuming that content because of it’s broad reach.

And it’s the fact that it’s easier and quicker to make so much of it, so that’s a really important reason behind this massive change in Youtube new update 2023.

What i’m going to do is, I’m going to talk to you about what you can do, if you need to have those income produced watching videos as a Shorts Content Creator and about the new features in Youtube update that Youtube is creating to link out content links are going to be coming soon.

We’re going to be talk about that and this going to be something that again I do understand how frustrating of a change this is going to be for multiple Youtube Content Creators, that’s why I’m going to make sure that, In this article: “Youtube Update – Youtube New Update 2023 – All About Youtube” we provide you with solutions so that when this change will rolls out you’re affected a minimal amount possible.

Now, beginning August 23rd according to the information Viewers on mobile and desktop will start seeing prominent clickable links on Creators channel profiles near the Subscribe button. Creators can use this space to share websites, social media profiles, Merch websites and other links to videos and content.

So what, this means is that you will end up getting at the top of Your Youtube channel on the mobile and on desktop. You’ll get this prominent links which will basically focus on being more or less a link in BIO type feature and so what this feature is going to do is: this is going to allow you to have up to 12 links for your channel.

These links will still have to be in compliance with Youtube new update 2023 and YouTube’s Community Guideline’s. So that you don’t have spam links, phishing links or links to fraudulent things of any kind so you still will have to make sure you’re in compliance where that concerned.

So this is very important Youtube update: Now, in terms of something else that’s going to be very important Youtube update for connecting Youtube Shorts and other types of content on Youtube. They’re going to be introducing what are called content links and so this is going to be rolling out by the end of September 2023.

So you’re going to see content links by the end of September. You’re going to see these prominent links, basically we’re going to refer this link in BIO you’re going to see the link in BIO stuff. It’s not officially called that but we’ll just called it that, that’s going to happen toward the end of August but toward the end of September.

You’re going to get content links and so what this is going to do for Youtube Shorts is, it’s going to let you’ve clickable links that help creators direct their shorts audiences to other types of content like their long form videos and also to other shorts this is also going to be allowed to connect to unlisted videos is what I’ve heard directly from my contacts at Youtube but at this time, not be connecting to playlist on Youtube unfortunately maybe they’ll change that in the future may be not if they do, we’ll update you hopefully that’s what happens here.

So Youtube give and Youtube takeaway!

In this case they’re taking away the regular links to reduce spam and phishing, but they’re also giving something in return with these content links and you’ll have to update those manually in Youtube studio when the time comes but the clickable version of all of your other links is going to be disabled when it comes to this and that’s going to start apparently according to the information we have here that is going to start on August 31st.

So that’s something that a lot of us are just gonna have to get used to like I said the reasoning behind this is that, it’s going to protect a lot of people from spamming and phishing. Here’s what I feel you need to do as a content creator when it comes to your affiliate links on your brand new deals for you Shorts creators in particular this is going to be very important.

Now, I want to make it clear on regular long-form videos / regular Youtube videos links in the description are not going away the exception is vertical live streams, It’s going away for that, it’s going away for Youtube Shorts. So basically the vertical video formats are not going to have links in the description or links in the comment sections anymore.

That’s going away for all type of content creators, the social media links at the top of Youtube banner is going away for everybody. So that is something that is happening, here’s what you need to do? this is going to be very important, if you’re doing brand deals content. You’re going to have to use this prominent link feature that, they’re rolling out starting on August 23rd.

Okay, so you’re going to need to do that and when you do shorts you’re going to have to direct people to the link in BIO basically so that is going to be, what you’ll need to do if you’re a short form content creator. When it comes to brand deals, if there’s a contractual obligation to link to something through your short form videos now.

Youtube update is going to be very inconvenient and Brands may not be on board or okay with this. This is why it’s also going going to be important for short creators to branching out into being multi-format creators and embrace live streams in the regular horizontal format and embrace regular widescreen horizontal videos on Youtube.

It’s gonna be important to be something other than a purely short content creator from a mod standpoint. I would argue that, it was always going to be very important and that: this was going to happen at some point some way or other.

So, with that in mind, what do you do about affiliate marketing and the fact that you might make a lot of money from affiliate links. If you’re in Beauty Tech or a product reviewer or anything of that nature, well what a lot of you are going to need opinion is you’re going to have to make companion videos that are long form, that your short form can connect to through these content links.

So that people can get the deeper dive there, also when it comes to the affiliate side if you’re Monetized on Youtube. You’re going to want to take advantage of YouTube’s affiliate program through Youtube shopping and you’re going to want to use the tag affiliate feature there.

Now, again I feel that for a lot of you some of the products and things you cover are not part of Youtube shopping and their affiliate program yet. And a lot of you don’t qualify for the Youtube shopping affiliate program. You need 20000 subscribers to qualify for Youtube shopping affiliate and and right now it’s only US creators.

So for YouTube affiliate marketers on Youtube anyone using affiliate links this is going to be devastating I don’t want to downplay it. I know it’s going to hurt you, what I would advise you to do is to make long-form videos that can be a bridge from the short form content you’re using to this long form where you still have all the links in the description and all those options.

I’m also going to tell you if you’re using affiliate links you can still use the Youtube Community tab for those affiliate links and you should be using it for those affiliate links anyway and I would tell you to use these on weekly basis in order to be able to Monetize your audience through affiliate links to Amazon influencer program for affiliate links is great for a lot of you because it covers a wide gimmick of products for some of you.

You could be using other links there are a lot of things big box stores like target and best buy and Walmart have affiliate links as well some of you do software like how I do with like Tube buddy and Kajabi.

You could be using affiliate link promotion in the community tab on a weekly basis in addition to using all the other community tab features a lot of you are not using the community tab enough you can still make money with the affiliate marketing.

And it won’t even cost you a video so I would encourage more of you to do that and not be discouraged by Youtube update and just use the other options even it’s inconvenient for you.

If you’ve questions about Youtube new update 2023 and a strategy that if you want me to answer all of your questions about Youtube update so that if any of of you’re frustrated and you’ve anxiety about Youtube new update, drop your questions in the comment section, we’ll definitely answer your questions about Youtube update 2023.

In general I think this Youtube update in the long run will protect viewers and users but I think it just dramatically inconveniences content creators.

If you’ve been making Youtube shorts for three years now since the very beginning you’ve made thousands of videos this is going to undermine you and you might have to go back to your most successful videos that are getting views right now.

You might have to update those videos I’m not going to sugarcoat it you’re gonna have to do that manually going forward.

Once these changes rolls out on August 31st and that’s not going to be fun for a lot of you it takes away time from making the content that you and your audience love.

So I understand that I would encourage you to make your preparations now and to think about this going forward and to build your strategies around it and what I’ll try to do is answer any and all of your questions that I can.

Final thoughts around Youtube new update 2023, in Youtube update tackle doing Spam , Phishing links and Fraud on Youtube is a big deal and a big priority and Youtube is right to prioritize and tackle it.

There are consequences for addressing those problems and one of them is that creators will be inconvenienced in some way shape or form however I do think that these features will have a lot to offer and in the long run with the right strategies can benefit creators going forward I don’t like when things are taken away from creators.

But is something where it’s not being taken away without a supplement to replace it.

Youtube give it Youtube take away.
