Resources Page

VideoStats gives you a powerful and simple way to create a professional resources page. This lets you recommend tools, training, software, and other resources to your audience, and these can include your affiliate links so you earn commissions when viewers make purchases.

We automatically brand your resources page to match your YouTube channel theme.

And VideoStats shows you beautiful charts to show you which resources are getting the most clicks.

Why Create a Resources Page

A resources page is valuable because:

  • It gives viewers a central place to find everything you recommend
  • You can include affiliate links for passive income
  • You can track which resources get the most clicks
  • Updating recommendations is easy with VideoStats

How It Works

Your resources page displays your recommended tools and services organized into categories. Each resource shows:

  • A title (the name of the tool or service)
  • A description explaining why you recommend it
  • An image or logo
  • A link (which can be your affiliate link)

The page automatically uses your YouTube banner at the top and has a clean, professional design that matches your channel.

Creating Your Resources Page

There are 2 ways to create your Resources Page:

  • Using the Wizard (powered by AI)

  • Creating it manually

Using the AI Wizard to Create Your Resources Page in Seconds

Wizard for creating your Resources Page

The goal of the AI wizard is to help you very quickly create a first version of your Resources Page. You'll need to edit the results after the wizard has created this first version. But it's usually much faster and easier to edit what the AI Wizard created than to try to create it manually. Here are the steps:

  1. Click the Wizard button in the top right.

  2. Next, describe your audience and what you help them achieve or the problem you solve for them

  3. List a few categories of resources you want to include (separated by commas)

  4. Then click Create My Resources Page button

In a few seconds you'll have a draft of your resources page.

What you'll need to do next is edit this AI version to:

  • Include any affiliate links

  • Remove any resources you're not interested in recommending

  • Add any resources AI missed
