🛍️ Buy Products Right On Youtube

This new Youtube feature lets users buy products right on the platform.

Viewers will be able to shop and browse products featured in select videos, directly.

This is currently being tested and not live yet.

When’s this feature going global?

We don’t know yet – it’s currently being tested with a small number of users in the US on web, Android and iOS.

How will it work?

Creators will be able to add certain products to their videos that will be available via a shopping bag icon in the bottom left corner of a video.

When clicked, the shopping bag icon is going to open a list of featured products, extra info, related videos, options to explore each product’s page and purchase a product.

Here’s Google’s support page showing this experimental feature.

FEATURED STM THREAD: Love To Read Books? Check This!

This week’s update is for those of you who love to read books. So how many do you read a month, or a year? 5.. Maybe 10… ? That’s peanuts, compared to how many our very own moderator and copywriting wizard “shishev” has crunched the past year.

This crazy guy has finished 52 pieces in 2020! Yes, that’s one book a week. Now we know where he got his copywriting skills from 🙂 And luckily for you, our dear STM members, he decided to compile a TOP10 list just for you. So you don’t have to read the not-so-good ones yoursel.

Thread here: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthread.php?49866-I-Read-52-Books-in-2020-%96-Here-Are-My-Top-10

And if you thought he’s the only reading obsessed individual on the forum, you were wrong 🙂 Just a few hours later, another STM mod “jeremie” posted his list of books to read during quarantine in 2021… 4 per month again.

Thread here: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthread.php?49871-What-to-read-in-2021-to-enjoy-quarantine

And there is one more thread we’d like to point your attention to. Erik, another member of the mod team, just published an interview that he did for a push traffic network.

Check it out here: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthread.php?49865-Vimmy-Interview-with-Erik-Gyepes-Push-Testing-2021

And that’s it, see you next week.

Stay tuned for the next edition of MRKTRS WKLY.
