To the person reading this, If you're a small youtuber, you'll get there soon, just be consistent.
yeah

thanks
Amen
Thank you
The trick is to have a separate channel or playlist which contains trailer videos. You can then put a card on this video which points to the content you actually want to promote. That way you'll still drive more traffic to the video and you are less likely to destroy the retention rate of the video as if someone has actually clicked a card on your 'trailer' video it means they are really interested.
Great tip!
good idea
anyone tried ?
I’m lost can you explain the concept a little more simpler?
I love to learn how I can run ads for another company
Awesome video. I am small RUclipsr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame - ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
If you make good content and you push them out, you'll get views and subscribers fast using Google ads.
Right said you bro, same things happens to all small RUclipsrs.💙
@@TravellingNirmaanfor real. Oh nice video, but no subs, so won't take you seriously.
😍😍😍 Look! Good videos and 1,000,000 subscribers! I'll subscribe!
😢😢😢
Yes struggling to get to the 4k viewers which has taken me years! How does the famester work?
what is Fame - ster,?
One thing that helped me a lot is to use RUclips normally and comment on things you like with your RUclips channel name. Over time, people may noticed your name or comments, they may be curious and check your channel’s content organically.
Great tip!
Nice! Thanks.
True dat!
One method I've seen is to reupload the video you want to promote as an unlisted video, then only run ads on that. When the campaign stops you delete the reupload. This way it doesnt kill the original videos stats. I guess a secondary benefit is you can precisely measure the results of the campaign in terms of new subs etc.
I find your video very informative. I have never advertised for viewers, but by advertising, I could have cut down the time and number of videos necessary to hit a million+. We have used advertising on Instagram and have enjoyed regular growth. The bottom line is if you are talking about what your nitch wants to hear, one way or another, they will find you.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
Hi, you have used ADV on Instagram with which campaign goal?
Hey Cristina! Thank you for this video ! It's a total chaos what is working for growing faster on RUclips. Retention rate is the hardest actually. In order to have big retention rate, you need to hook viewers to your content by promising all the time that something is coming in the next minute also that the last point you want to show is actually best so stay tuned. I am also struggling, but it's great to see that I am not alone in this. :)
Thanks for sharing!! You got this!
Hi Christina, new subscriber here! Thanks for your video. And yes, spending a lil cash to help premote your vids is definitely something that goes through your mind as you embark on your great RUclips journey. I started my first channel back on Oct 9th 2022 (last month) and am trying to learn all I can. I don't really have any metric to compare to so I am not really sure if its doing good or not, but either way, I am glad to see content like yours to help guide and build my channel to be bigger & better - I am in full sponge mood right now trying to soak up as much as I can! Thanks again for your video - looking forward to the next -
Aww thank you so much! I know it takes a lot of learning + trial and error at the beginning, took me 2 years to figure out my direction but it's so worth it in the end!
Excellent experiment. Years ago I had a gaming channel and I tried google promotion, I even took a course on how to use google ads correctly to get my content to the right people and the same thing happened to you. Now I have this new channel and I'm doing everything organic and I'm doing super well. NOTE: My channel is in Spanish but some of my videos have subtitles in several languages, the niche is Finance. Thanks and good video
Hi. Thanks for the video. I’m a pay per click specialist and your low retention rates has to do with your campaign setup and targeting. There are certain features that need to be adjusted in RUclips campaigns to avoid showing to unrelated traffic. These campaigns do work you just need to know how to set them up properly. But I am happy you did get some results.
I agree as well,it has to with her campaign settings,she has to adjust the audience segmentation
I'm looking for someone with your expertise, is there a way to come in contact with you and talk a bit more about what you do?
Your videos are amazing and very high quality . I think it is about to get exploded , please don't quit , keep doing them and hopefully in month or so it will blow and the work you did till then will pay you back .
All the best mate !!
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It’s definitely really hard to stay motivated some days but I’m definitely trying. Good luck on your journey as well!
Always a Pleasure 🙂

Good job. Im glad you are seeing what works and what doesn’t.
Thank you for this! And I don't understand those who clicked away after 30 seconds of watching your videos. You're pleasant to watch and listen too.
Awww thank you so much!
I watched this video til the end cause it's informative. Thank you! I'm thinking of setting up my campaign but I'm not sure of what I'm even doing. Best of luck to all small youtubers out there!

Love the transparency here Christina! Been playing with some promo on my channel and had a very similar experience, testing new things out is the way to go also it's fun as hell hahaha thanks for sharing, I learned A LOT!

This was a really great and informative video. It can be easy to fall into these traps to move views on a video, but showing the downside is super helpful. Thank you very much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your kind words
Hi Christina, a good video and I appreciate the thought and how genuine you were. I am a small Content Creator/Entrepreneur as well. I liked the video and subscribed (as I am well aware of RUclips analytics and wanted to help out your channel). Thanks.
Aww thank you so much for your support! Excited to ddd your journey as a content creator and entrepreneur as well
Good day Christina! Great video and a great eye opener too. I recently spent around $200 on a google ads campaign to promote my videos, but as you said after a few days and tons of views i realised it was hurting the retention rate by a mile, i went from having full retention on my videos to only average of 20 seconds and a lot of thumbs down. Which would eventually kill my channel all together. A personal advice to anyone considering this super legal and legit boost to your youtube channel: stay away from google ads if you want a caring audience who enjoy your videos. You will get a ton of views but little to no retention! Thx Christina!
Thank you for sharing
wooow amazing thanks so much
@@jane_ughe you are most welcome I still stand by what I said. Google ads = lots of 20 second views- very bad in the long term as videos stop being suggested after a few days of ‘disastrous’ retention rates.
I advertised with instream YT Ads loads in the early days of my channel, but haven’t done so in around 3 years and have seen slow growth since. I’m at 5k subs with some organic engagement. Would you recommend starting fresh or keeping going with my present channel?
@@Richie3264 hi Richard, i think you may have to sit down and analyse what is truly going on with you channel. If the subs tou have are engaging and enjoying your videos (watching most of the videos and commenting) then definitely keep as it is. But if you feel like you are completely stuck with no growth maybe RUclips has already decided your fate with the channel and is not suggesting any of your videos to new viewers. Since i stopped buying ads my channel has grown naturally and very organically, i am now back to having full retention on my 20 min videos which i feel is far more important than having 100 likes and only 20 seconds of watch time. You will need to think of what is best for your channel. I wouldn’t be afraid to start again if necessary
honestly this video helped me more than you realise so thank you for the transparency and keep going. this is just what I personally need!
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear this was helpful
Great advice! I’ve been looking into this for my channel also, but I keep hearing conflicting arguments regarding how it can negatively affect your channel in the long run.
Exactly!
This is wonderful.. I’ve had and preached the very thought to fellow young creators .. Am glad you experimented and giving us what the data says
incredibly useful information, Christina. Thank you so much for putting it out there. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Good explanation Christina, this is definitely going to help me for my research that I am going to publish on my channel, keep it up...
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
Crisp, smart way of explaining, necessary and sufficient information. That was helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
Great video Christina, you earned a subscriber! Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still remember getting started. It was a tough journey. Of course, things are a lot easier now and I'm super grateful that I didn't give up and stayed patient and all the way through. Consistency and hard work ( I had to use some Famester as well, and I don't regret it honestly) is the key! It always pay off. Good luck to all of you, you're gonna make it soon!
This is a fake comment, I just saw this an hour ago from another video
But you have 55 subscribers..?
@@TheSterg98 alt account
@@live2dance huh?
@@judymyers1934 what's the name of your account
I had similar results.. When I started (5$/day) I didn't specify country, just English speaking, and after a week or two I noticed a big boost in views and subs, but i noticed nearly all of my views were from India and the Philippines, and that the searches leading up my videos were commonly stuff around "how to speak English".
I stopped the adds but was afraid I was teaching youtube that I was somehow an English teaching channel which is definitely not what I do haha. I was afraid I ruined my channel.
I recently started back up but limited it to like the US and Canada and added more "life event" audience filters and I've noticed significantly higher retention.
But dang when you turn it off and those views slow down... It don't feel great haha
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing that. Yes, I think most of my views are coming from India now which I also realized lowered my RPM. It’s interesting how the algorithm got confused and thought your channel was about something else. Keep me posted on how things go!
Because I’m a gaming channel, I targeted my ads for USA/Canada only and specified the type of gaming in the google ads options. Going to see how this works for me. Glad you got some subs out of it tho
@@CaptainRuggels that’s what happened when I hired a third party service that wasn’t Google Ads. They get you a lot of views but not from the locations you want. It can really lower your RPM
@@ChristinasSideHustles I noticed that. I messaged the guy and was like “why am I not getting views from United States and Canada?” Crickets. We find a way though. Keep up the good work on your channel!
@@CaptainRuggels yes, because those companies use bots and fake accounts to view your videos. They are all based in other countries so you won’t see the kind of growth you want
Thank you for this! Really enjoyed learning about how running a campaign altered the views! Thanks again, Arlo the good doggo
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the video, you were answering my questions as I was thinking them. This definitely kept me watching! keep up the good work!
I'm so happy to hear that! Hope to see you back!
Totally agree with you. I like the clarity with which you explain things. All the best, I'm sure you will grow to be a big RUclipsr!
Thank you! You too!
@@ChristinasSideHustles thank you.
Hey. Thank you for the honest and transparent video with much clarity to details... keep doing what you doing. praying you get tons of subs... you got mine for now :) Peace!
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate your support
Thank you so much for the insightful video! I was about to run an ad campaign before I realized I should do more research, and this video really put it into perspective for me. I just released an animated cartoon intro which has a higher retention rate than my last animated project, so I thought it would be good to take advantage of a promotion but at the same time I wouldn't want to hurt the retention too. Still thinking about what to do, but this really helped get the cogs turning!
What you said about small youtubers needing to stick together resonated with me, though it looks like you're not a small youtuber anymore I went ahead and subscribed! Haha
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I was able to grow thanks to the support from users like you :)
I'm about to run an ad but this video made me reconsider. All the info I need is right here. Really helpful, thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
I like this approach, but at the same time, it's tricky because a view can just be a simple " click." They may not have ever fully watched the video or even a minute . So yes, I definitely track the watch time and duration to ensure the Google ads I'd benefiting me on the long run .
Love the content. Am corrently looking into different ways to promote my channel so this was very helpful thank you Christina.
i found your video from google, after searching "can google ads help grow my RUclips channel" your video was number 5 but with the most views, so i thought i would check yours out first, thank God i did because you answered every question i had and even showed real results, thanks for being so transparent, And you earned me as a new Subscriber, I have been trying to figure out a way to make $100 everyday online to eventually quit my job and never work a 9-5 job again, as i live in a small town and there is not many options besides fastfood or gas stations, anyways thanks again , im looking forward to growing my brand and my channel more.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
how interesting! great to see all the metrics, it gives me a lot to think about. thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm probably gonna start doing Google ads. My channel wasn't accepted to make money because I do a lotta copyrighted stuff. But that's what I like to do. Last year I started putting my videos on Facebook fan groups. That worked for a while. The first week I got an extra 16,000 views but then died out over the months. I got blocked from posting on groups because I think they thought I was a spam robot. So, I guess it'll be Google ads to the rescue.
Let me know how it goes!
@@ChristinasSideHustles I will when I do it. But I can tell you now I was doing ads for a kid's book I self published on Amazon. For $150.00 it ran for 10 days. It got 37.1K impressions & 1.2K clicks. I'm still waiting to see what sales are. Amazon hasn't been sending notices.
@@ChristinasSideHustles This is the first video I did Google ads with. Started yesterday so we'll see how it goes the next few days.

hey Christina, great video and thank you for sharing this with other RUclipsrs.
You’re very welcome!
I'm a small RUclipsr and just like in real life the demand for electricians is high and content about doing electrical work is also high. I have a few videos that have done really well and others not-so-much. I am fortunate in this way because I don't think I would ever pay to have my page promoted. I just don't need to, just like I don't need my own contracting business website. May seem crazy but in the construction trades demand for services is crazy. Fortunately I have a few friends help me with iMovie and Keynote so I think my videos are pretty good. Thanks for posting this video.
This was super insightful to see it from another person's perspective (also very well storyboarded video).
I've personally had mixed results when testing advertising. Sometimes they're effective when you spend more money to target relevance groups that are more likely to be interested or countries that you're in that speak your language. However, the more generic, less expensive runs (that would actually be financially sustainable) gets really low retention, CTR and non-target countries. I can see how they could be effective in certain instances, but maybe not worth the time and resources when you're a smaller channel.
I agree, there are definitely so many nuances to creating the right ad campaign. That's why digital marketers make so much money.
A great video !! Good luck to everyone with your journey
You’re video was so helpful. I was considering signing up for Google Ads but in reading how everything declines once you stop utilizing it, I may reconsider but I’ve subscribed to your channel and will check out your additional content.

Thank you guys! this means a lot!
watched this video till the very end, really enjoyed how you explain the positives and negatives of using Google ads and liked how transparent you were through the whole video. i Subscribed !!!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Welcome to my channel!
Great video and thanks for being honest. About your view duration, were you able to see which countries viewed your video the longest on average? If not, have you tried creating an ad for one country and excluding the others to see what the result would be? In the past, I've paid for ads and certain countries had a ridiculous amount of clicks, to the point where my daily budget was exhausted in a really short amount of time. But those visitors brought pretty much nothing. I ended up focusing on only some countries and excluding others. You might want to consider that. Good luck with everything!
That's a great question, I didn't go that in-depth. Most of my viewers come from the USA generally though
Bilal x .. do you use google ad editor?? You see there option
Thanks
This video helped me find your channel. You really are posting high value content. Your channel will definitely grow to a bigger audience. I love all your videos and I wish you all the best ☺
I appreciate that! Thank you for your kind words :)
Thanks for ALL of this! We had a very similar experience with a lot of extra views from ads but a lower retention rate which I think hurt the success of the promoted videos. Still trying to hone-in on how to find a more accurate target audience so our retention rate isn't so low but for now...still a mystery lol.
Thanks for sharing!
Very thorough video, thanks for sharing the knowledge. Since I’m here, I’m just going to go through peoples channels in this comment section and give some love and see what everyone is doing👍🏿💯🙏🏿
That's so sweet of you! Thank you for your support
same thing happened when i used google ads. It's like 5-6 subscribers for every 1k-12k views and yes the retention does drop significantly which raises the question if the video has been pushed to the right audience
I bet it's hard to find the right audience
Thanks for explaining. I’ve been considering advertising for my business (not RUclips) . And I didn’t exactly know how it worked. I think I’m going to try it out.
Let me know how it goes. I'm thinking about using Google Ads for my non-youtube business as well
Thank you so much!🙏Really insightful! I also tried Google ads and indeed got tons of views but very little engagement.
Very intersting results, thank you for sharing your experience! 👍👍
I'm just considering Google ads but maybe not after listening to your experience. Strangely I promoted video on my YT channel on Facebook and it registered over 1000 likes 18000 views and counting and over 5000 engagements BUT even though it was linked to YT and I received many comments on FB the views subscribers did not change on YT. It's like the algorithm was not counting views and subscribers from FB. Very weird and frustrating.
hey i started already this before one month and my channel goes extremely well, btw(keep going the content) and also i want to push more myself for creating short films
You can do it!!!
Thank you for the sharing. I was thinking should I go for the ads and this helps me a lot❤
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
Just Thought Id Leave A Comment Being That This Made Me Feel Like Its Time To Give It A Try Myself
Great Video & Quality Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you! And let me know how it goes for you
Thanks for this info. I had a similar experience. I set my campaign for 7 days and my video got 12k views but only a few followers. Most of those views were from India but I realized some of them where expecting information about “how to move to Australia?” or something related so the retention was very low because my videos are more like city walks (POV) 😢 I think Google Ads were harmful to my channel.
Thank you for sharing! It really seems like it is a hit or miss
Agree. And after promotion ended you stop getting view. Even though you were getting views before.
Did you ask them to subscribe?
Thanks for being so honest with this video!!!! Liked and subscribed. I might run a google ad campaign myself to boost some of my guitar videos…
You can do it!
I am definitely going to try this one for 7 days and see. Been struggling with my channel growth as much as i am putting in so much work while being a busy single mom😭😭Thank you for sharing this Christina💝💖
You got this! Let me know how it goes for you
This was a great video! Very helpful. I can relate 100% being a small creator myself! Also I like your set up! Which microphone are you using? Did you do anything to boost the sound in editing? Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I use a mic from powerdewise. You can find a link in my description. It’s very affordable :)
Very helpful video. Considered google as sense but decided against it, at least for now. Focusing on growing organically, getting better at content creation, storytelling etc. Subbed!
Ty for the info. I feel that my nicho it’s not the best (Spanish poetry, my own poetry. Because if you read another authors books or poetry, you don’t get monetisation).
For all of those trying to growth, remember it takes time. And something it’s a lot, but you’ll get it. ❤️
Very informative video. I have set up google compaign. Can't wait to check my insights !
Let me know how it goes!
Great video, thanks for the information and honest review! :)
Yoooo, love your energy and straight-forward explanation! You gained a new sub! I don't think advertising is for me. My channel is small, which I consider a good thing. Gives me the time to work on my editing and story-telling techniques so that when the channel does grow, I will know what I am doing. Really appreciate you!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I totally agree that we should all focus on creating high quality content first
Yah small youtube in the kids space. Engagement is really tough but. I'm gonna give it a try for 5 years. Yes I'm also using the Google ads to propel my self and get the search optimization of my channel so it's more recognize. There are lot of good things but one thing is a lot of money will be spent. But if it worthwhile and the content has quality then its worth the effort. I still got a long way to go.. Good luck to you and everyone here. Its a tough journey for sure. If you dont wanna spend. You just gotta wait till one of your content really picks up.
Ding give up! I also told myself I’ll commit to releasing one video per week for the rest of the year and see how things go. I’m noticing a huge difference already.
You are so good. I see you are doing everything by the book.
Us small players have it rough, and I've discovered that newer art channels like mine really have a tough time getting built up, I keep getting told that there's still massive interest in art videos, not just learning it but sitting back and just watching the works come together, but the way my channel has performed hasn't convinced me that statement is entirely true, at least from my view point, I've been tempted to run an ad campaign like this to see if it can spread further and reach those that are interested in the content I'm making, but after seeing the results, I'm a bit hesitant as, yes I'm likely to find the right audience, but it could also attract those that aren't interested and a bunch of trolls and haters that just want to cause trouble, I have a feeling my already struggling channel will definitely get thrown to the wolves as I'd get similar results, I might as well keep watching my channel slowly fail rather than pay google to do more damage than good! Anyways thanks for doing this experiment, have a great day :)
I realized it take RUclips a while to figure out what our videos are about and who dipole see them. That’s why it’s always tough at the beginning
I took a look at your channel. Your titles say nothing about painting or art so they will be hard to find. example my channel is about fishing, so my title would be (Fishing, catching those big monster fish etc) try changing you heading to your videos.
@@stevesshowreel. Oh ok cool, yeah I suck at titles, been trying to perfect them for a while now, I've been told they're too long, too boring, and not clickable, I'm still learning how to get them right, but I think I'm close to having great titles, I had a look as well and made some small changes so that they can be found easier, but still trying to keep the boring factor away, anyways thanks for the feedback, have a great day :)
@@TheArtistsTouch meant no offence. If you video is about painting put Painting in the title. ( painting using simple brush techniques) 😀
@@ChristinasSideHustles Oh I'm feeling that toughness, but as many say, it's a marathon, bring on the marathon I say :)
Thanks for this interesting experiment, it looks like you got a few more subscribers but you retention suffered which means that those extra subs might not be active which could do harm to the channel thanks for bringing us this info
Exactly. My goal was to get my video in front if people that were interested in my content but it didn’t fully work :(
@@ChristinasSideHustles fair play to you for trying it was an interesting result

Haha thank you! I’m glad you found this useful
Fighting till the end 💪 ♥️
Thanks for the video. I will start advertising after seeing your video. Normally even normal popular videos, retention rate drops if google pushes it to more people.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
You nailed it
Retention rate dips significantly as they are sort of spamming your ads everywhere including those who aren't interested. Careful with the geographic regions
. That can get skewed heavily
Great Vid!! Thanks for sharing your expereince here! Quick question - When you did you Google Ads, are you able to target people based on their interests?? This way, perhaps the ads would start to show up for people who were interested in the specific topic that your video was talking about, rather than just purely based on their age, gender...etc.
Yes, Interest is a main question on the process. She marked job/ career interest, go to 2:42 on her video.
When I was customizing my campaign, I was able to choose my target audience based on their interest and demographics just like @alchemy of the mind said :)
Im curious when you set your ads campaign did you you used skippable ad or in-feed ad ?
The reason im asking this is because most of the times skippable video ads will most likely pop on other youtubers videos as an ad and of course viewers will skip it so they can watch they clicked on . I think if you go for google ads best is to use in-feed so they show up in search results and recommended videos and also it might even show on youtube homepage.
I believe it was in-feed
More power to your channel Christina ✌
Thank you! You too!
Very insightful, thanks! I grew organically in my niche channel in Spanish, up to 76k in 6 years. Now I’m starting an English channel from scratch and planned on doing ads. But my goal is rather to fill my email list, to sell courses later.
Wow that’s amazing. Seems like you e out in a lot of work
As a new subscriber, I must say, I have DEFINITELY thought about paying for promotion after so many failed attempts of manually promoting, and after watching this video of yours, I only want to do it more. One thing you said that really got my attention is you " thinking small RUclipsrs should stick together" and..... I couldn't agree more. I am a struggling novelist and I am trying so hard to promote my novel, which is on Amazon. I do have an animated trailer based on my novel, which has almost 300 hundred views but, that's not enough. I say all that to ask.... will you...possibly help a small youtuber out? My book is only 15 dollars on Amazon and even a short honorable mention of my trailer and book would most helpful.
Thank you for reading! :)
You thought about paying promotion, well, that's what companies do for the last 100 years. It's nothing new, what's new is the hope of too many RUclipsrs that they will be the lucky ones that will get free promotion. Life isn't that easy.

I comprehend but, where in my comment did I say life was that easy?
@@adriatic123 chill she just asked a question. Closed mouths don’t get fed so good on her! The creator even hearted her comment so it may happen..
❤️❤️
Wohh and I just realized we have similar names!! Amazing!
Hi Christina. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, you're estimated revenue at the end shows $14.93. What was the estimated revenue before you started the Google ads campaign? Can I also assume you spent $12 ($3 per day over 4 days)? Thanks in advance.
I can't remember, unfortunately :( I don't think I took a screenshot before I started running ads. I can definitely tell you it wasn't a huge growth revenue wise
@@ChristinasSideHustlesThank you Christina for taking the time to respond. I'm researching whether or not using Google Ads to get to the magic 1,000 is cost effective for me. What you shared really helps towards the information I need to make a decision. Very appreciated. Thank you.
@@kelvineldridge I’m glad to hear you found this helpful. I’m excited to see you hit the 1000 subscriber mark 😄
Very interesting that this showed up in my feed - I've tried this before for a channel I manage. Watching this !
Hope you enjoyed this video!
Keep going christina you’re amazing and i wish you all the best
Thank you so much!! So sweet of you
at this point my analytics are so bad I'm actually thinking about paying for them lol
Christina, the people like you at the first 3seconds the reason the audience retention dropped is because the higher the views the lower the retention it's just like that to every creator you are so awesome and sweet how can people not like you!
I don't think that's true in every situation. Some of my most watched videos usually have a very high audience retention. So it's case by case. Thank you for your kind words though! I'm glad you enjoyed my content!
@@ChristinasSideHustles woow♥️
? What?
Your so sweet and they didn’t take the time out to listen to your video. I am a new RUclipsr and I am facing that right now. Best of luck to both of us.
And yes I just subscribe to your channel 😊
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video and decided to subscribe. Your support means a lot!
Thanks so much for this information. My you tube channel is struggling . So I'm trying everything so bounce back
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this video
You don't need ads if you use Famester.
Good to know
But you have only 12 subscribers, how can you say that?
@@kikinbo1 I’m sorry but that was hilarious 😂😂😂😊
Problem is she's not
I see a lot of random comments for Famester and many users mentioned it has low subscribers or no videos. I think Famester hired a company to promote their services.
Thanks Christina for this info.
I'm an Artiste and I boosted a music video on my VEVO channel to 100k views, and I did gain some subscribers, but after ending the promo, it dropped again to almost zero views per day. Now my total likes is 76likes, on 100k views video.
I believe this actually affected the video so much that RUclips metrics now thinks people don't really like the video, and thereby stopped suggesting it outrightly to more people. It's discouraging.
RUclips needs to look into this, to encourage advertisers.
That’s awesome! Glad it worked for you
That's exactly what's happening - Google gets your money and buries your video forever.
We have been thinking of advertising to grow the channel. So great to see how you did
Let me know how it goes for you!
thank you for your video and your explantations. I've been posting videos every week for a few months and the organic growth is very slow. Sometime discouraging for the amount of time it requires...but I keep working on it. I'll try the ads. Thank you
