Embrace the Power of LinkTwin
First off, if you’re still sharing direct links to your YouTube videos and wondering why your view count isn’t moving, it’s time for a change. Enter LinkTwin which ensures your links open in the YouTube app rather than a browser window. Why does this matter, you ask? Engagement!
Viewing in-app increases the likelihood of likes, comments, and those precious subscribes… because the fewer clicks between your viewer and the action you want them to take, the better for everyone.
