How to Share YouTube Clips Without Copyright Strikes — and Turn Them Into Website Traffic

If you’re selling a product or service but don’t consider yourself a content creator, this strategy is for you. You don’t need to produce viral videos to get traffic. In fact, you can use content that’s already popular to help build awareness and drive clicks — without violating copyright rules.

Here’s how:

Step 1:

Use YouTube’s Clip Feature

YouTube allows you to clip up to 60 seconds of a public video (if the creator has clipping enabled).

This lets you highlight a powerful or attention-grabbing moment from someone else’s video — legally. No re-uploading. No editing their content. Just a quick snippet shared through a direct YouTube link.

Step 2: Post the Clip With Context

When you post the clip (on Facebook, Twitter, or even in a group), pair it with a thoughtful caption. Ask a question, start a debate, or simply say why the moment stood out. This creates engagement and builds interest.

Step 3: Add Your Own Landing Page Link

Now here’s the key — in that same post, include your link. This could be your website, a lead magnet, a booking page, or even a product offer. The goal is to ride the wave of the video’s popularity and redirect viewers to your space.

Why This Works

• No need to create original content

  
  
  
  

• No risk of copyright violations

  
  
  
  

• You leverage the attention already built by another creator

  
  
  
  

• You provide value or insight while building your brand

  
  
  
  

This is a smart move for entrepreneurs who don’t want to become influencers but still want digital reach. It’s also a tactic many marketers overlook.
