The YouTube Growth Hack You’re Not Using (And Why You Should!)

If you're sharing links in your videos to direct viewers to affiliate products, your website, or your newsletter, there’s a simple way to track clicks, optimize conversions, and strengthen your brand—branded tracking links.

What’s a Branded Tracking Link?

Instead of using a long, generic affiliate link like this:

❌ syllaby.io/?via=halfwaytonerdom 

You can create a clean, branded link that points to the same destination, like this:

✅ go.gregbeazley.com/syllaby 

With this, you get full control over your traffic and valuable insights into your click sources.

Why Should You Use Branded Links?

📊 Track where your traffic is coming from (e.g., YouTube, email, social media).
🔀 Easily change the destination link—redirect traffic to a new page without changing the link itself.
📈 Boost brand recognition—your link becomes memorable and trustworthy.

For example, my branded link could drive traffic to the Syllaby homepage now, but later, I could redirect it to my newsletter landing page—all without changing the link I’ve shared in my videos.

Below is an example of what my link shortening service looks like in terms of the analytics provided behind the links I share.

How to Set Up a Branded Link (For a One-Time Fee!)

Most link-shortening services charge a monthly fee, but I just found a Lifetime Deal (LTD) for only $49.

🔗 Check out the LTD here

I personally bought a similar AppSumo deal years ago for the same price, and it’s been worth every penny. These LTDs rarely pop up, so if this is something that could benefit your content strategy, I highly recommend checking it out.

(Yes, this is an affiliate link, but feel free to search for it on AppSumo if you'd rather not use mine.)
