Hi everyone, 

we have another 

exciting video for YouTube creators.

What if every video you published could do more than just play?

What if viewers could click, interact, 

and even visit your website without ever leaving the video?

Meet TouchPoint's Interactive Video Studio - 

the saas platform that transforms ordinary videos into interactive powerhouses.

TouchPoint adds an interactive layer over your video 

where you can introduce all kinds of elements.

From buttons, links and images 

through to embedded booking forms, 

shopping carts and even your website.

Yes, you can bring your website or any landing page into YouTube!

That is super cool 

and how much is that going to improve your business?

No need to take your audience away from YouTube, 

you bring your website to your audience!

In this video we're going to focus on one of your YouTube videos.

In particular, a YouTube video as it's watched on YouTube by your audience.

And we're going to start with something very powerful: 

Including your viewers avatar in your video.

Yes, you heard that right! 

You can display your viewers avatar right inside your video!

How's that for personalization!?

Once your viewer sees themself in your video - they're going to watch it!

It's like you made the video just for them.

And when it comes time to talk about a product; 

when you fly in a landing page at the height of your message 

and it contains a buy now button 

and their avatar... 

you have a significantly higher chance of a sale! 

Because you're linking the viewer to your product.

You are literally saying "this product's for you".

So that's the big picture. 

Let's dive into how easy you can make it happen.

To make the magic come to life you need two key ingredients.

You need to build the interactivity in the TouchPoint Studio 

and your viewers need the TouchPoint Interactive YouTube extension. 

That's available in the Chrome web store which everyone's familiar with. 

Once they have it they'll see all your interactive videos on YouTube. 

And all you do is link to it in the description.  

Say something like

"If you want to see yourself in this video install the TouchPoint Interactive YouTube Extension. It's free!"

It takes them less than 30 seconds to add it to their browser 

and in less than a minute you may have a brand new customer, 

and someone who's going to be very interested 

in looking at all your future interactive video content.

Best of all they enjoy your video, see themselves in it 

and can buy your product without ever having to leave the video!

That is crazy powerful and the question is - can you afford not to do it?

So with the extension link in your description 

the last thing you add is the TouchPoint code near the top of the description.

It needs to be visible so the extension can detect it. 

Once detected it imports the video elements, we call them hotspots, 

and it flies them in and out based on how you set them up.

So that's how it works from YouTube and your viewers perspective. 

Now let's take a look at how easy it is to fly those hotspots in and out.

First we'll get some housekeeping out of the way.

You can try the full Studio for free. 

You can add hotspots, you can test everything in the Studio sandbox, 

you can add the YouTube code in your video description and test it all out. 

You'll see exactly how everything looks and it won't cost a cent 

or require that you share your email or any other information.

If you like what you see 

and decide there's a good business case for making your YouTube content interactive 

then become a member of TouchPoint's Creator's Paradise club. 

It's just $5 a month and you can make unlimited interactive videos.

The only other cost is for advanced hotspots if you want them. 

We'll get into those as I take you through how to make your video interactive.

First of all you may want to think about what's going to happen. 

So think about the video url you want to make interactive, 

the sort of hotspots you want to add, 

and when you want them them to appear and disappear during the video.

You might think 

"I want the viewers avatar to appear twice during the video. 

Once early in the piece to hook them in and once later when I introduce the product. 

I want the product to appear in a window in the left 

and I also want to include links to our socials that remain visible throughout the entire video".

And with that mapped out you can now begin to create.

Once you're at the studio you log in. 

Just enter your login details if you're a member, 

or use the demo credentials if you want to test it out.

Once logged in you'll see the top menu 

and some buttons in the middle.

In the top menu you have a notepad you can write down those items we just covered.
