Worth buy advertisement for channal ?

[Stearmans Toy Review]

I have to agree! I LOVE using ads. We have had great experience with it. I use about $10 per day and come out wit more than 2,000 views because of click through, plus I also gain at least 5-10 subs..

Ads can be done at one cent a piece if you configure it correctly. If you target it properly and if your content is really good, you will have similar results as to organic views and you will get bonus views as people will click your next videos, subscribe, like, share, etc. If your channel is not ready for organic views, advertisement will not achieve much besides wasting money. In that case learn first, optimize and then invest if you want to want to make a business out of this thing.

Interesting answer, so are you able to invest and re-earn same money? Interesting... I dont know if my channel is properly set, what are the main charateristics? May i ask if you could check it please?
Thank you [DOUBLEPOST=1496581979,1496581725][/DOUBLEPOST]

Ads are fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend it. Make sure your channel is ready first, lots of video, looks great, backend all setup properly. At 1 cent a click, you'll get on the top of the right side bar of top channels, in front of viewers eager for your content. But if your videos are not good or your channel is not ready, you'll likely waste your money.

Just tried 2 years ago ADWORDS for videos (as you said i suppose there is another wayt o ads on adwords for videos right?) and google force me to charge 2/3 cents at least for views (30 sec views)
How do you create your campaigns? ... and same question for KidsCorner, is t my channel ready? Could you please check it out for a while ? thank you soooo much

The best thing to do is get TubeBuddy for free and use its keyword suggestion system to make your video more easily found .

Where? I'm looking at it right now and it has a Keywords To Track bar, but you have to come up with the keywords (only 5 on the $20 plan, that's not much) and it just shows their rankings, that's all. I'd love for some ideas for keywords I missed.

I have the free version of TubeBuddy, it's a plugin for Google Chrome that you just install. Then you have to verify your account on YouTube which is fast and easy. Once that is done you go to your video manager, go to your selected video, go to keywords and then click a keyword it will grade you. If your keyword is strong enough and unique it will be ranked on a search. That's what you want. Keep tweaking keywords until you get some or most ranked.

Yep, I bought the $20 Star plan on TubeBuddy to give it a try. OK, I see what you're saying, stick with the one that's ranked and change the others.

I didn't see anything about a Chrome plugin... I'm on Firefox and am just using the TubeBuddy site. It has a Keywords To Track page and it seems like it just evaluates general keywords on all videos. It has nothing specific to any individual videos. I get results like:

* One hit for #17 ranking on one keyword
* On four others, "None of your videos (or competitors' videos) showed up in the top 50 search results for "[keyword]"

Is this what I need to be doing, or does the plugin offer different functionality?

These are my tags from a recent video. See the green numbers, that's the rank on the search if you looked up that phrase. If you click the keyword you will get a score and you can also get suggested keywords.
I'm not sure if this is what you are seeing but this is how I use it.

I had made the mistake of buying google advertisements, its where a lot of my subscribers came from, and I got a lot of views on a few random videos of mine from any weird period, but its definitely not worth it.

1. I spent 150 dollars on advertising, even made a video specifically as an advertisement/channel trailer. Yet looking at my statistics from then to now.. almost no change in the organic views, just in raw view count and pointless none real subscribers that don't actually watch or engage.
2. more than likely anyone who actually sees the add will just skip it, not even pay attention, or go onto it just to hate and flame. Not to mention from the stats I saw only about 5% of them were from the US/UK areas (which I'm an English speaking channel so that's the target audience) but instead I was met with a LOT of Indonesian, Portuguese, and Chinese views. Which pretty much cries bought subs, whether its against YouTube's rules or not.
3.I rarely see ads from smaller channels, gaming channels, hobby channels,diy channels, etc etc. the only ads I really ever see are from big brand sponsors and some fitness stuff, which is from a mix of the content I was (fitness, and gaming mostly),BUT it also comes from the people who pay more, because why would google choose to show a 1 cent ad when they could choose to show a 50 cent ad, or a 2 cent ad? Or even some poeple might have paid for a LOT more 1 cent ads so they get shown exponentially more.

When it comes to advertising, usually the bigger wallet is the bigger face. So for those reasons I don't recommend it.

You only pay if they don't skip it, though, so that part is not really an issue.

You can control which countries can see your ad. You can control much of the demographics that see your ad, actually.

I rarely see ads from smaller channels, gaming channels, hobby channels,diy channels, etc etc.

Advertising doesn't have to be restricted to video preroll ads. Search results advertising is where you're more likely to find smaller channels. Plus, it tends to be cheaper and more likely to result in engagement. The 'ads' appear right above the actual search results or to the right, and when people click on them it's because they searched for the keywords you targeted, therefore it's a much more qualified lead.

There are a lot of aspects to advertising that have to be considered. It's not really fair to spend $150, not get great results, and draw a conclusion from that, especially if you are new to advertising or are just learning about it.

YAOG pretty much hit the nail on the head with all of his comments. We've been using adwords advertising to help our new channel get off the ground and its going great. We are gaining new subscribers consistently with a modest budget of $2-$5 in ad spend per video upload.

With views costing only $0.01, now is probably the best time ever to advertise. Once the blow-back from "adpocalypse" wears off i dont see you being able to advertise that cheaply anymore. May as well take advantage now while the gettin' is good!

For those of you that spent money and had no results, i honestly dont know what to tell you. Like i said, we're spending $2-$5 per vid and the subscribers are coming in groups of 2-3 at a time.

Hi KidsCorner. (I would have started a private conversation, but it seems that I need 50 posts to do that.)

According to Tube Buddy, you seemed to have exponential subscriber growth starting a few months ago. Did you recall doing anything specific to bring that about?
