The Ultimate Guide to YouTube Promotions: How to Maximize Results

Ғылым және технология

I've spent over $500 on KZread Promotions beta in hopes of kickstarting growth to my KZread channel. 15 promotions later, I've learned what works and what doesn't. This video will show you how to maximize your results for KZread promotions in as little time, and spend, as possible.

    Thanks for sharing this insight. Please publish more insights on this. I am running on my multiple videos and as for my experience it costs my over impressions And I think if I keep them running it will be trained to reach quickly to more potential viewers without counting more impressions. If It is or not?

    Correct. The longer you run the promotion, the more it will train itself to perform better (up to a certain point)

    Thanks for sharing your experiences with the KZread Promotion Beta! When I went to check it out, I saw this statement: "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a promotion do not contribute towards KZread Partner Program eligibility." I wonder what the benefit is for the promotion if the subscribers and the watch time from the promotion are not counted for the YTPP eligibility?

    I believe that subscribers from promotions DO count towards monetization but the watch hours do not. The hope would be more views and subscribers which should get you more organic views and subscribers in the future.

    Hello, interesting results. Another proof that this works well is that I have received your content even though I am from Spain and speak Spanish. But well, what I wanted to ask is, and if we increase the budget much more, for example to about $10,000, how would the CPS evolve? They will call me crazy but I would like to do it

  • @WesGPT

    @WesGPT

    7 ай бұрын

    Oh very cool it reached Spain! It looks as if the CPS will lower to a point and then plateau (ad fatigue). But each promotion has this "point" and we don't know how much money it will take to find it. If I had $10,000, I'd rather spend it across 100 promotions than one single one. And once a promotion got to this plateau point, I'd reassess if my money was worth it to keep spending on it. Some may take $10 to get there, others might take $100. For a few of my promotions, I knew right away that the CPS wouldn't drop below $0.15 - it reached it in a few days and would actually start to increase afterwards. Because other promotions were getting $0.08 CPS, it was a no brainer to stop that one and funnel everything into the promotions that were doing better.

    ​​@@WesGPTYes, the best thing would be to do about ten promotions of $10 each and I will increase the budget to the one that works best and the others that do well. And I'll cancel the ones that go wrong. But hey, I will continue studying the benefits of KZread promotions Let's see if I can do it, that's why I watched a lot of videos about this, even in other languages like yours. Although I can tell you that the most likely thing is that I will do it and I will spend that money on the promotions or maybe more, I will continue looking for information.

    G’day, maybe hit pause promotion until after the end date that you set your promotion for. Maybe it will cancel it when the end date has arrived. I paused yesterday (just for a few hours) as I wanted my piano to go out at a different time. It did pause it, but if you pause it for the duration of promo time you chose, it may not promote and give your money back as it was not promoted, hence cancelling it. Hope that helps and hopefully it might just work 😘🎹🤘

    Clearly I'm a new small creator. I am thinking about investing about $20 each into a few of my favourite videos that I think might do well for the audience I'm targeting. Should I just go for it and will it increase my views and subs more than what I'm getting now? What I mean is, is it worth doing it even if its to get my channel to more eyes at the very least? Thanks and you videos are very helpful

    Hey, I can't say... Based on what I know about Shorts right now (they're not a good bridge to long-form content), I don't make Shorts for my channel. If your channel is exclusively Shorts, then I'd run promotions on some of your content to see if the increase in views and subscribers jump-starts the rest of your content. If you do end up running promotions, let me know how it goes :)

    @WesGPT

    6 ай бұрын

    No problem! All of the recent videos are organic. I actually stopped running Promotions shortly after this video due to a theory... Promotions get bad traffic, which hurts video performance, which causes the algorithm to not find your proper audience, which hurts future video performance, which slows down your channel growth. And I think this theory was right because as soon as I stopped promoting, the channel blew up! Hope this info helps 😊
