YouTube Ads Strategy for your videos:
​
1) Choose the Right Audience

Before starting creating the ads, always think about who will see them?  Viewers or Subscribers. Choose the audience wisely so that your ads reach out to their needs, interests or problems. The second option- “Viewers” seems quite easy as compared to others. But this may not be the case if you have already created successful channels. In that case, try to avoid spending too much on viewer targeting because it would cost you big money. However, some people prefer buying views over other channels and thus they end up doing good business through these tactics.
For those startups or small businesses, it might be hard to afford the huge amount required to buy views. Thus it becomes necessary to start using alternative ways to increase viewership. You should consider promoting your videos on other social networks where you know there is sufficient viewership.

2) Decide How Much Money Will Be Spent Per Video

There are two kinds of YouTube ads – paid ads and non-paid ads . Paid ads are the ones that appear after search results while organic ones come at the bottom of search results and are displayed according to the algorithms of Google. For example, when the algorithm finds high engagement content in your videos it displays them at the top because this means higher chances of getting views and clicks. So how do you decide which one to go with? Well, it depends on your budget and what kind of audience you want to attract. If you have limited funds you may opt for buying views instead of paying for ads. On the contrary, if you have enough money to spend on various advertising campaigns then why don’t you use both to create maximum impact in your audience.

3) Create a Perfect Ad Title & Description

This part is very important! Once you add the description and title of your videos on various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. then your chances of getting views increases by 10 times. That’s why it makes sense to invest time and effort in making attractive titles and descriptions. Try to make them catchy, informative and engaging. Also, let us tell you another thing – people generally read titles before clicking so it makes sense to focus on enhancing your titles.

4) Add Videos from Various Platforms to Your Channel

Then you should consider using multiple accounts and upload different types of videos so that even though you won’t have enough storage space, you will still be able to promote your business effectively.
