Marketers - Adding YouTube Unit Elements

Applies to: IZEAx Unity Suite Starter, Standard, and Enterprise customers.

Unit elements can consist of hashtags, mentions, and links. It is important to include elements in addition to your project brief and post description as these will help influencers know what must be included in their post. You can add elements as either required or optional for influencers to use. The following article will walk you through the different types of YouTube video elements you can add and how to include them in your units.

Hashtags

Links


 

Disclosure

Sponsorship disclosure is the FTC compliant way to let the public know that a post is sponsored, and by whom.

  • Disclosure options are automatically included for influencers choose from, however, for YouTube videos, you will need to type in the name of the brand which you need referenced within the disclosure for influencers to include.

 

Hashtags 

Hashtags can either be required or optional for an influencer to use in their post. If you choose to make a hashtag required, the influencer must use this hashtag in their post. However, you have the option to make the hashtag case-sensitive. This would require the influencer to post the hashtag exactly as you type it here in order to submit their content for approval. If you leave this blank, the influencer can choose to post the hashtag with a variation of upper and lower case letters.

 

Links

Links can be any website you would like influencers to include within the body of their posts. The link URL you type here will be programmatically shortened in the platform and will appear as shown in the below example when influencers receive it on their end:

  • If you would like to add a specific link for influencers to include within the body of their post, click the dropdown to Add Elements > Link. From here you will be able to enter a link URL and select if you would like it to be required by the influencer.

  • Once you have included all of the elements you would like influencers to use for their posts, click Save Changes at the bottom right.
