Approved - I'm quite impressed with this service and the report provided after the work was done. The OP took a mundane video and was able to get views with no issue and shared a report with nice demographics.

Edit - here is a link to the report I received - https://www.mediafire.com/file/ft2jg2h2xtvs6nd/Client_Reports.pdf/file

I'll use this service myself in the future for sure.

Thanks, Bass.

There are a few additional details I think I should mention, and I can talk about specific needs for repeat orders ($500+ campaigns) on Skype with any customers.

But with YouTube ads there are two primary forms of ads: TrueView Ads and Discovery Ads. Here is a good brief on what the difference is.

Essentially TrueView ads are the advertisements that play before a video starts, those ads that allow you to skip them after five seconds. Discovery ads are promoted videos at the top of search results or the top of suggested videos that require a user to click on the ad to watch your video.

There are Pros and Cons to each and my recommendation is that we generally run a mix of both so that we can cover all basis. I am open to running a mix, or 100% of each depending on what you want out of the campaign.

First, here is a screenshot showing some of the primary differences in results between TrueView and Discovery:

Discovery Ads PROS:

• Higher earned action engagements. From this campaign I ran for a music video channel, you can see that 30,471 views resulted in 172 new subscribers, 63 playlist adds, 213 likes, and 478 earned views. All of these engagements are free. Google does not charge for them and neither do I.
• Subs, likes, playlist adds are great signals to build for your videos which help with organic rankings. There are also earned shares, but lately Google Ads is not tracking those, I've sent in multiple feedback emails about that and all my Google Rep has told me is that they are looking into the issue. Hopefully that's fixed soon. But for these 30k views in the pic above, that also resulted in about 65 shares on the videos when we checked YouTube analytics (clipboard copy, social media, WhatsApp, etc).

Discovery Ads CONS:

• A lower percentage of clicks will result in a full watching of the video. I think that typically if you can keep 10% of the audience for 50% of the video for Discovery Ads, that's a pretty good benchmark to go by. Obviously, for videos that are quick 10-20 videos, that will be a lot higher. For this picture above, this was for the music channel that had music videos between 3 to 4 minutes in length, nothing else. The content was well produced and industry level professional.
• With the opportunity for all that positive feedback/engagement, there is the possibility for negative feedback as well. If people click the discovery ad, and really do not like your content, they can dislike your video or leave a negative comment. Comments can, of course, be deleted or you can set your channel to moderate comments before they are approved. But dislikes can't be removed. So just be prepared for that possibility. For any user of YouTube though it should already be obvious that all videos out there, no matter how good, generally have a 3% to 10% dislike ratio. It's just how it goes.

TrueView Ads PROS:

• High audience retention. I think you will be surprised at how many people will actually watch a full-length video and not 'skip' the ad.
• Drastically improves watch time on your channel which Google's algorithm loves. That helps a ton with organically ranking videos over time for your entire channel.

TrueView Ads CONS:

• Low earned action rate. You can see that the earned views, likes, playlist adds, and subs are much lower compared with discovery ads. The reason why should be obvious, because with Discovery Ads, users will actually land on the video watch page which makes completing those earned actions much easier. For TrueView the user would have to click through to your channel to the URL and then complete those actions, there are just more steps involved.

For TrueView Ads my recommendation for the URL to promote would be this:

https://www.youtube.com/YOUR-CHANNEL-ID-HERE?sub_confirmation=1

That way when someone clicks the URL (.33% CTR is the industry benchmark rate) they will land on your channel page with a pop-up dialogue prompting them to subscribe to your channel.

Lastly, this is the first time I've publicly sold a service like this so I'm not entirely not sure what to expect over the next few months. But if there are any high-volume orders (1 million views+) I would be happy to discuss linking my ads account with your YouTube Channel so that we can build more optimized audiences, but to do that it requires a ton of data (views, engagements) first. So to get comfortable with working with me that's why I'm offering a trial at $99 for 33k views and then we can go up from there. But just let me know and I'm happy to discuss your needs on Skype.

I'm in the Pacific Time Zone and generally will be working between 8 AM and Midnight with several breaks throughout the day and then I generally will take weekends off.

 

[PersiaGrai]

Definitely interested. Adding on skype

Can the views be taken from a specific country? Lets say from Australia for an example
And as well as what would be the TAT for a 1000 views?

Interested in this service as a long term partnership

Waiting to hear from you

Can the views be taken from a specific country? Lets say from Australia for an example

Australia would be hard to target individually, there are only about 23 million people total (frequent YouTube users would probably be in the 5-10 million range, just a guess) and it's a very rich country, meaning tons of competition for advertising dollars (just like the U.S. and Europe), so there wouldn't be much volume with what I have to bid with at these prices.

If so may I know which countries that you'd use to drive traffic if possible?

 

[QuandoMedia]

sounds interesting, i want to try this.

 

[PersiaGrai]

Order placed with seller. Will review when complete.

There is an unlimited combination of countries we can put together. World. Latin America. Asia. You know, the typical groups. But we can also do Asia and exclude countries you really don't want, like India or Vietnam. That's something we can discuss before placing an order on Skype.

Since we are buying YouTube ad inventory at an extraordinarily low rate it doesn't allow us to bid in tier 1 countries. But I will leave targeting open for tier 1 and you'll find that 1-2% of the impressions will come from tier 1. But if you target the U.S. or similar countries exclusively your campaign would never be completed.

Outside of geo-targeting, audience niche targeting is the really nice thing. We can use Google's already created affinity audiences. If you use Google Ads you already know about those. Or we can of course build custom affinity audiences.

sounds interesting, i want to try this.

Skype: Purple Dimple

Order placed with seller. Will review when complete.

Working on building your campaign tonight!

interested in a review copy if available

I gave five review copies to BHW Jr. VIP members. I'm building those campaigns tonight and tomorrow. Sometime over this week, into next weekend, those review campaigns will be finished and those Jr. VIP members will be able to leave their thoughts in this thread.

The last few days I've been with the fam for Thanksgiving but as of now I'm back working full-time. So feel free to ask any questions here or to me on Skype. Thanks!

 

[Aosfilms]

Really interested in this! How do I get started??

 

[HaCr]

Really interested in this! How do I get started??

Just hit me up on Skype: Purple Dimple.

I'm available between 8AM and Midnight Pacific time.

I think at some point I'll put together a website but in the meantime, just to get my footing with offering a service on BHW for the first time, I'm happy to just talk with anyone who wants to on Skype. Probably the best way anyway to get comfortable with working with me.

 

[bornthisway]

Uhum! You didn't reach out to the main Jr.Vip who is into YouTube expertise *Me Sad*
Haha JK, This does sound interesting but isn't it the same thing as running YT Ads? Like one can run the campaign themselves. Am I missing something here?

Correct me if I'm wrong, you are like a Google Advertising manager for YT views, right?

 

[HaCr]

Correct me if I'm wrong, you are like a Google Advertising manager for YT views, right?

Lol, sorry for the no consult! haha.

Yeah, the value proposition here has two angles:

1. I'll build and optimize YouTube campaigns. I've been using Google Ads (formerly Adwords) for a long time, back to when I was able to get $100 ad coupons by the hundreds when they were giving them out like candy in the 2005 era. You know, just get that $.01 hosting through Hostgator using a VCC through Citibank and doing that en masse with VPNs. But that is no longer possible. I have to spend my actual money on campaigns now lol. So for people not comfortable building and optimizing campaigns for YouTube. That I can do.

Also, after the campaign is finished I will send a full report of all the activity with breakdowns by demographics, devices, audiences, etc. Then if we do a second campaign we'll have all that data to optimize audiences further.

2. The views are coming at $.003, or $3,000 per million views. So the rates are on par with the bot farms (though I've seen several SMM panels selling at $5 per 1k ) but these are actually real views that can be verified. I'm not sure what the future holds but the trend I'm seeing is that all the big boy companies continue getting smarter at detecting and penalizing automated activity. YouTube Ads views give a lot of peace of mind that you'll never be penalized, and you can actually benefit from all those earned actions and organic ranking.

PLUS. Something I haven't mentioned yet and I was planning on posting about with more details later. If you are a YouTube partner and make ad revenue off your channel and you use Discovery ads to drive traffic to your video watch pages. Those views are monetized. From the data I have, it's worth about $.30 per thousand monetized views so you can actually make approx.10% back in Adsense revenue with discovery ads. Not much, but better than nothing.

 

[HighOtters]

Can I get review copy ?

 

[janskejean114]

Buddy, I just added you on sk. Would love to talk.

 

[mcvobla]

Thx for the info, can you answer me is there any time-cheap way?

 

[martingalepro]

can i get review copy , 100 000 views ads please

 

[webmasterbd]

so I have a food related niche video channel for a site(brand new launched around 30 days ago) & want to use your service to promote those videos. Can I use your min. package for this to see the traction & if yes what will be the expected goal/output?

 

[HaCr]

Can I get review copy ?

There are 6 Jr. VIP members that are currently receiving review orders to assess the quality of the traffic (meaning it actually comes from YouTube advertising). They should be able to post a review in the next few days hopefully.

Buddy, I just added you on sk. Would love to talk.

I think we connected? Your name here might not be the same as on Skype though.

Thx for the info, can you answer me is there any time-cheap way?

I'm not sure what you mean by this question. Can you explain a little more?

can i get review copy , 100 000 views ads please

100k views would cost me several hundred dollars to provide through YouTube Ads with Google billing my own credit card. If you'd like to purchase 100k views though as a trial order that's no problem. There are six Jr. VIPs currently receiving traffic as part of the review.

so I have a food related niche video channel for a site(brand new launched around 30 days ago) & want to use your service to promote those videos. Can I use your min. package for this to see the traction & if yes what will be the expected goal/output?

The minimum is as mentioned in the first post, $99 for a trial order and then $500 minimum after that once you are comfortable working with me.

But yeah, if the content is high-quality, original, white hat, then it is certainly a candidate for long-term growth. The food niche is huge.

Take a look at the screenshot in my second post in this BST. You'll see the differences between running TrueView and Discovery ads and the results from engagement. We are dealing with real humans here with ad buys, so the quality of the content and channel will be the biggest determinator if people choose to sub, like, comment, share, add to a playlist. With high volume orders I can certainly optimze audiences to a degree to improve earned actions, but to do that I need a ton of data first, generally upwards of half a million views.

I can also provide some more info on Skype regarding expected engagement rates.

I do get asked quite a bit on Skype why the order amount so high. It takes me a significant chunk of time to communicate, answer all questions, set-up the campaign, manage it, answer follow-up questions, give pointers on improving the YouTube channel for organic discoverability algorithms, and compiling a report. Long term I will be looking to just be working with a small number of high-volume clients. But for the first few months I wanted to make it at least a little more accessible for BHW members to try and then they can decide if they want to work with me long term.
