Although you might not know, there is a constant conflict between the two most popular social networks – YouTube and Facebook! This conflict is basically about the video-sharing function they both have.

According to statistics, YouTube is currently the largest video-sharing platform on the planet. But based on the fact that Facebook also has video sharing functions, it doesn’t take these statistics in good fate. This is why your YouTube videos on Facebook do not generate much traffic.

Some of the videos that are normally posted to YouTube include interviews, regular YouTube shows, game cheats, movies and trailers, funny videos, challenge and prank, product reviews, and how-to videos.

When you create and publish any of these videos on YouTube and share its link on your Facebook profile, Facebook Algorithm will not bring in much traffic to it. This is because any of these clickable links will take users out of Facebook’s platform. And this is something Facebook is trying really hard to keep at bay.

Guide to Posting Videos on Facebook

Knowing that Facebook and YouTube have an unending conflict, the best thing to do is post differently on both platforms. This may be stressful but is still worth it.

Here are some tips that will help you upload your videos to Facebook successfully:

  • If it is a video worth sharing, then the link should be shared on your personal timeline and groups
  • Place links on your descriptions
  • If you want to give your video a more professional feel, add a custom thumbnail to it
  • Always add captions to your videos. A lot of viewers normally watch on silent mode
  • Always place a call to action on every video

    Good afternoon my dear friend, love the blog, however, being involved in affiliate marketing and being a part of wealthy affiliate since April 2018 and then on every social media platform and making very good money from doing it. I must disagree with you, posting your videos on Facebook is a great idea however, before you do it you must build up trust throughout Facebook and other social media platforms. If you build up trust which will take you some time people will share your videos people ,will listen to you and people will buy from you, but the trust must be there. It took me a while to build up that trust, but it's in place and it works, not only for me for a whole bunch of other internet marketers. However keep in mind, when you make your post posted on all of the social media platforms at the same time including YouTube. May good health and prosperity be always with you.

    Well one of the reasons I did so my dear friend, it's because a lot of newbies whatever servers they are offering or whatever they're trying to sell they come out of the gate believe that they have the best deal in the entire world not realizing more than likely there's a thousand others that are offering similar services or similar products. And they beging to spam everybody, not realizing that what they're actually doing is getting a whole bunch of people upset and because they have not communicated with them before, those people probably will never do business with them all because they didn't take the time to communicate and build up trust. And I was one of those newbies back in 2018, and I had to learn the hard way no one told me. Which damage my progress in a very big way, however, my friend, I am happy to say my audience trust me, and do business with me all because of communication. Have an awesome weekend Israel Olatunji.

    Thank you Israel,
    Facebook makes it clear that videos posted directly on its platform gains more engagement than video posted via other platforms like YouTube
