I've been promoting my channel on YouTube. Here's what happened!

[@AndreeaDeutschlehrerin]

I started my youtube channel 3 weeks ago and i have 26 subscribers. ❤

[@AlexC-m3d]

Ad the beginning of the road myself. See how it goes!

[@JoeThomasPhotos]

Started mine 2 days ago I’m at 12 let’s see how this goes 🥳

[@Haywhytechy]

yeah you can grow your youtube channel with an expert

[@RandomVideoCircus]

The reason why everyone has had a loss in viewership, and a lot of content creators are leaving, is because KZbin now wants you to buy viewership and platform space. I said this same thing in the Think Media live chat, and they kicked me out and scolded me for it, so what does that tell you?

[@reni-]

Yeah🎉

[@jhaereacts]

Wow

[@DidacticEditions]

They want you to do all the work, invest all the time, and pay on top of everything a minimum of $150, to get views, so you can then maybe, hopefuly, luckily, monetize, so they can keep 45% of the profit...Sounds like good business.

[@RandomVideoCircus]

@@DidacticEditions Accurate! 👍👍

[@DidacticEditions]

@@RandomVideoCircus as a youngster I was in a band. Common theme among artists and youtubers psychology, is the need to be exposed. We'd go to a club to ask about performing there, and the first thing they'd ask was: how many people are you bringing? Similar to KZbin: Do all the witing, recording, rehearsing, come to the venue and guarantee me sales, so I can give you a cut.....

[@smartdrivetest]

If you're getting into KZbin to make money from advertising dollars on KZbin - you completely have the wrong business model. KZbin videos are just free advertising for your business, and the money the YT gives you is just the icing on the money cake. Affiliate marketing, online courses, consulting, merch, and memberships should be where you're focusing your energies to make money. Paying to promote your videos isn't about getting more KZbin advertising dollars, it's about exposure for your "business" so that people can purchase you services and products. Most successful business tap into the many other revenue streams to make money. KZbin is just a way to build a relationship and promote your business. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@hashtagtnt]

Oh no.. i got no business to sell.. I make videos of things I do in real life as projects of my own. What you are saying is youtube videos are just free ads for business.. so where do I stand I dont get it.. is everything always about business in life ?

[@VelcroKittie]

@@hashtagtnt There is no one size fits all, and it depends entirely on the product. Assuming the OP's username is what they do for a living, it makes sense for them that they would use KZbin as a vessel to connect with customers. Make a load of videos related to driving exams and driving techniques. Connect with your audience on that level, and then offer various driving tutoring packages to your market. In my case, I write and narrate short stories for people to listen to before bed at night in order to help them sleep, so I don't have anything "physical" to offer, such as a car or physical lessons. So my needs are entirely different to the OPs. Their post made a number of assumptions that I disagree with. There is nothing wrong whatsoever with merely uploading videos that document your experiences.

[@BangkokHotelReviews]

KZbin Promotions has helped my channel immensely. Yes the average few time has dramatically decreased to a mere a few seconds however, since I featured product placements and sponsorships, it is the subscriber account and view count which my clients look at. These have all increased significantly and guide much more business.

[@cancel5414]

Did the short view count end up hurting your channel at all?

[@BangkokHotelReviews]

@@cancel5414 Most definitely. I'm sure that KZbin is not suggesting my videos so much because of the short view count. But for me, the subs are much more important at the moment.

[@PlantyMary]

One important thing to consider is that subscribers and watch time earned through a promotion do not contribute towards YT Partner Programme eligibility. So organic growth is probably the best. Slow and steady wins the race ;-)

[@MindandMatter-e7p]

Yeah but some people might be seeing your videos so it's an organic growth

[@joycelebelo9253]

Yes but it gives your channel exposure. Many people are able to see your channel and some may choose to continue watching your videos

[@VelcroKittie]

All fair points made above I reckon. There are certain things on KZbin I am always on the lookout for, but I rarely find precisely what I am looking for. I have a very select go-to when it comes to meditation sessions for example, because there are things that must be right based on on my own preferences. But the channels I do return and listen to would not be my regulars had I not first come across their channel and gave their guided meditation sessions a listen. In that regard, exposure is paramount.

[@davetriesthis]

One thing I find, and I wonder if you've done a video on it, is how poor the watch time is on a lot of promoted videos. My typical watch time on a video is about 2:30 (probably when YT does the midroll ad. My typical view time for promoted content is about 30 seconds. Since YT ranks channels based on interaction, watch time, etc., I'm curious about the long-term impact of this on discoverability. It seems like this leads to a cycle of needing to promote videos to get traffic, as the watch time drops the value of the video to the YT algorythm.

[@michaelvedal]

Or, just for the heck of it, promote a short video of 1 minute to make sure you don't lose retention rates. Click through is bound to be low anyway, but at least your retention won't be as bad as with longer videos.

[@DodZahav]

I think most people are negative on the subject. Just create good content and have faith that your promotion would go well. Who cares about retention? Youre paying for views and subscribers right? You will lose subscribers if you don’t keep posting. Most often original content (3 videos every 90 days for starters) and forget about bots and being afraid that your numbers will tank: just create good content and post!

[@Movierecapdigest]

We are gonna make it guys! Keep grinding!

[@S-Mania]

[@realkliment]

You can try targeting a lower CPM cost countries. US, Canada and UK are pretty expensive to run ads on. Try other countries that aren't as rich, and set the language to English. The predicted views should go up.

[@Soloadriantraveler]

Hi mate, quick question. Since you started using the Promotions feature has it affected the natural organic growth of your channel? I've heard reports that once you use the Promotions feature KZbin will slow down your organic growth so you keep using and paying for promotions?

[@svasadk3753]

Yes i have the same question

[@jinglebutler]

Me too, I think that is what happening now to me. I promoted so many and I kept doing it but i think it doesn't feel right. Everytime I promote my videos i get at least 1k views with 200 subscribers then 40 to 309 likes but do you think it's ok?

[@SuhReelz]

@@jinglebutlermy assumption would be cuz the ones you don’t promote are getting less views cuz your not promoting them which makes sense

[@MrSleepySleepyHead]

I started my 'Mr Sleepy' channel 3 days ago. Very early days, with 13 subscribers thus far. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day! I'm just glad I absolutely love doing what I do on the channel. With the right continuous regular content and optimization, I am hopeful I should at least build a bit of a cult following. And no, I'm not a cult! My area is helping people sleep more soundly!

[@bapis]

Another question I have - I am not sure if you've seen this issue or not. When I do KZbin Promotions, they only seem to run overnight (North America's night-time that is). My audience in my testing has been English-speakers in US and Canada. But the promos only seem to be active overnight like between midnight and (say) 4am, my time. I'll run a promo for 7 days and it only seems to be active during those hours every night - never during the daytime. Any ideas on how or why KZbin decides WHEN the promo will run time-of-day wise? It seems like I might have better results if the promo ran during the day (North America time). Thanks again!

[@theaterdesignco]

Exactly the same for me. I came here looking for answers.

[@rainscratch]

You may get a better answer by looking at where the views and subs are coming from (geography etc)

[@russellphillips8942]

Mine as well. It only runs overnight.

[@Dotain5minutes]

if memory serves me correctly, it has something to do with when the advertisers want the ads to run. so depending on which country your existing subscribers are from, would determine what time of the day the advertisers want to target those specifically. for example if you're in the usa, and the bulk of your subscribers sit in india, your promotion won't run during your day-time. it will be midnight or something for you, and daytime for india. hope this makes sense 🙂

[@bapis]

@@Dotain5minutes thank you. That makes a lot of sense. Very helpful.

[@ThoughtsandGiggles]

🤔Interesting, you said you are promoting a video that didn't do very well on its own. My theory is you should promote the best performing video you have, because in the YT game, the more your video goes up in quality in a linear fashion, the rewards (views, subs) go up exponentially.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I think the same. :)

[@FallAsleepInstantly]

I am now torn between using the promotion feature and just simply creating in feed ads directly in google ads manager. The subscribe button on the promotion campaign is intriguing.

[@LovesData]

I definitely recommend trying the promotions feature. And you could split your budget if needed.

@@3N1StaticGamingcan u elaborate please?😮

[@mrsdesireerose]

Im curious how does tbis affect the videos performance after the ads ran? What has happened to your channel and the other content since this?

[@nitroKenan]

The problem is that these views usually have very low avg view time and tanks the overall numbers for the video. I am not sure if this has any negative impact on the channel or the video itself. Otherwise I find that it brings good number of subs (not sure about the quality of those subs). You can't control the type of ad as well, sometimes it's display sometimes it's in stream.

[@rainscratch]

All my views from the promo seem to be the first 30 seconds out of a 10 minute video. The campaign generated lots of views and subs but questions about they are 'quality' engagement.

[@jhaereacts]

I personally think that this tanked my channel. I did this on a video which ended up with a lot more views and subs, but for a video that was about 45 minutes long, the average view duration ended up around 19 seconds, which is about how long someone sees the preview promotion short video, not actually clicking to watch the video. I am still trying to recover a couple months later. Prior to this promotion as a new channel, my views were 900 - 1,400 after a couple of weeks, one video hit 3,500 after a few more weeks and had a lot of active comments. Since the promotion, the numbers started going the opposite direction. 500 then 200, then 150, and some would do less than 100 in the first week. It's like the promotion tools work against the algorithm.

[@rainscratch]

@@jhaereacts I got virtually no active engagement for the promoted content (comments, likes. views) but got lots of 'views' on the paid content and lots of new 'subs' - except over 90% of the new views/subs were from India or Pakistan - and I had NOT chosen those countries for the promo. I got hardly any notifications of new subs which it took since 2008 to get 500 and jumped to 6K+subs in a month of the promo. Before this weird exercise every new sub I was getting an email notification. And like you - the average view time was 30 seconds over an 8 minute video. And after the promo ended my entire channel virtually froze with only a trickle of new views and subs coming through over 100+ videos.

[@jhaereacts]

@@rainscratch 😭 I’m two secs from starting a new channel. Hopefully they figure out a way to fix it. Targeted audience is all they need. By region is not a target audience. Even allowing a “keywords” or “search phrase” input at just a limit 1 would help tremendously. that way we couldn’t put in 50 tags and 20 phrases and there would in theory be a balance

I also spend a little money for promotion on couple of videos (less than $10) and my subsc😮ribers and views rise fast, but the bad side of promotion is people don't usually watch my other videos 😂. I hardly use fb and don't have many friends there so it's not easy to share on this platform. GoogleAds helps me a lot but I think I need more patience to build my channels organically.😅

[@JerraticYT]

I've been teetering on the fence of whether I should promote a video or not. I just started a month ago, and while I've seen some minor growth in subscribers, the view count ranges between 3 up to **Maybe** 30 views. My content is by far not the quality you get from the big boys in the genre I'm making content for, but man I'm trying.

[@a77f2sg2]

I appreciate your video. My channel had a respectable amount of viewers and subscribers in the past. However, when I promoted a single video on You Tube, the channel completely stopped moving (it was shadow banned), which meant that the number of subscribers and views had completely decreased. Any suggestions on how I might return it to normal?

[@jhaereacts]

Sounds like we are all experiencing the same kind of results. Its GREAT, but then... I was hoping this video explained the difference between the Engagement and the Views promotion types. I have actually considered starting all over with a new channel.

[@no1aviator]

[@SynthAIzer]

[@lovejazzloverap]

I've just paid to promote a music video, using the native youtube promotion, and the views are indeed growing fast. But it got me almost no likes and no comments. And the new subscribers, judging by the name of those profiles, don't feel like they would really subscribe to the channel. Doesn't this feel a little weird? I mean, isn't there a scheme kind of thing that can be going on behind the scenes?

[@jordankendall86]

Based on your last experiment, just plop down $300k and voila you could have over 1 million subscribers in no time. Thanks for sharing. Gave me a lot to think about.

[@devgames9744]

I promoted my videos and initially gained thousands of subscribers. However, about a month later, I started losing subscribers, and KZbin penalized my channel. This led to a significant drop in views as well. I think promoting my videos might not have been a good idea because the subscribers gained were likely not well-targeted or engaged. This experience has made me reconsider the effectiveness of paid promotions.😢

[@inverselattice]

I'm fairly new here and have been using KZbin promotions. I understand that these views are counted if the duration is over 30 seconds, but do they count towards monetization too? I meant if KZbin pays for those views too.

Yes, I've tried it. Views and subscribers increase substantially. One bad thing. View duration drops significantly. Unfortunately, KZbin doesn't promote to a target audience. Promotes to everyone. Not everyone will like and may turn away. I was surprised how My view duration decreased substantially. Something fishy. Also if your looking to get monetized. The views, subs from the promotion does not count towards this

[@SagaDaGamer]

You don't need views for monetization you need watchtime very different things and while they claim suba doesn't count it actually does. Started this channel 2 or so months ago. Initially used ads on the first 4 videos after that videos started taking off organically and already halfway monetized. This is my 3rd channel to be monetized nearly fully organically with a boost here and there.

[@GhulamMustafa-py2sn]

I think the subscribers and watch time (gained via google ADS promotion) will not be counted directly in the subscribers and watch time required for monetizing the channel. The benefit is only that this promotion can bring more subscribers and watch time (by promotion of the videos) which may contribute in monetizing the channel. But this promotion does not directly contribute in monetization of the channel.

I'm launching this channel in a few weeks, so I've been watching a few different videos on promotion - they seem to all be quite similar results. To be honest I don't think I'll use the promote tool, $181 for a couple of hundred subscribers seems a little steep. From what I gather, the best way to grow a new channel is to release a few videos at once, rather than just one. That's not something I thought about previously, but that's my aim now with my new channel. I'll release at least five videos at once and hopefully that will make new viewers stick around longer.

This was a really great video and I need to think about it. I know it sounds strange, but part of me likes a small barrier to subscribing (e.g. need to click on the video, then hit subscribe on the screen) because you'll likely build a quality subscriber viewership that way - people who are genuinely interested in the channel and content.

[@hardworkhardplay]

Hello… these view hours do Not count towards the goal of 4000 hours total views. Also, the subscribers do Not count towards the 1000 subs. The main question is, even though we know that the first two points apply, do FUTURE views from those subscribers count as watch hours on other videos you upload? That’s the interesting question that’s never answered clearly. Or, are the subs gained views forever excluded from watch hours?

[@modernhipster]

Where does it say that subscribers from promotions don't count towards your first 1000 subs? Seems to be conflicting answers in the comments.

[@quentinskitchen]

@@modernhipster If you go to the Promotions tab (and haven't run a promotion before), the second paragraph mentions: "Subscribers and watch time earned through a promotion do not contribute towards KZbin Partner Programme eligibility."

[@Meanderluster]

Subscribers count, in spite of running a promotion, remember that most of the people who subscribe do not do it with just after watching one of your videos, they check some of your channel videos and then decide to subscribe or not, some few subscribe just by watching a video. What does not count are the 4000 hours watched, the time the viewer spent to watch the promoted video does not count, but if you go back to the previous paragraph, the videos out of the promoted ones the new viewers watch as consequence of your promotion counts.

​@Meanderluster this should make sense but KZbin has a way of complicating things. Businesses do marketing so not sure why promoting a video is seen as a bad thing. Organic algorithm is hit and miss. People still have to click on the ad. I see sponsored videos everyday but i only click on ones that interest me. Am not a fake or bot subscriber.

[@midnight-reading]

? it does for me.. as i can see under the earn tab.. not sure why youtube states it isen’t when i can see it count on the earn tab 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is so bizzarre, I'm new to YT and to making ads, I've been putting load of work into my content and I decided to advertise one day because YOLO... I put 10 EU into my campaign and got the same amount of views as you investing 150 USD o.O is this tool broken or what?

[@AnnaParker712]

Some experts say that if you started promoting your videos youtube will start decreasing your Organic views. Could you please share if your organic views remained on the average level after promotion?

[@LovesData]

I haven't encountered any decrease in organic views following a promotion.

[@AnnaParker712]

@@LovesData thanks!

[@SparkyBoltPlayz]

Does it no matter what max out at only the total budget? Because it went above it in the video but you said you got that bit back that it used over the limit

[@LovesData]

I've received credit back in Google Ads for the overspend.

[@funmilolaalex]

Great video. Thank you for the help! :) I will try that on my new channel😊

[@leo4gaming]

Not every video will get the same it depends on how good the video is and also on ur channel smaller channels might get less subscribers because people subscribe if the channel is bigger but still i think yt promotions are worth it if u know what ur doing and won't give up on ur channel everything needs sacrifices but don't overdo it i will try the promotions once i have several good videos on my channel

[@VSLComputers]

Thank you for the video.

[@fro1414]

Hoping to reach 300 subscribers one day! We will see!

[@AI-MusicPlanet]

Good info!

[@DailyBitesofWisdom]

Thank you for this!

[@DearGirlwithAlice]

Very helpful! I wanted to ask about the watch time. Have you seen a significant increase in watch time hours?

[@storexxmuzik]

Usually they don't attribute the watch time but subscribers are given

[@TheAIworld4u]

But when you promote your video, yoursubscribers are not counted for KZbin Partner Program

[@mystudio3863]

Its count only watxhtime not count

[@thehawaiiandiet7974]

Thank you very much - I am New 2 this and I am ready to finally start - Your information was Amazing and look forw2 learning more by watching your videos - Big Thanks, and ALOHA from Hawaii USA - Just subscribed 2 your channel2

[@eurekadocumentary]

i see what happened. i subscribed 😊🎉😊

[@asmatravelvlogs]

are the subscribers real ones? do they interact or like or comment ? or just a number ?

[@galxywelding]

Just a number and if you post a new video no increase on your views because you tube using bots the same of others promoting site
