YouTube Guide 101: How To Do YouTube Ads?[2024]

 

How To Do YouTube Ads

On average, YouTube users are on the site for 19 minutes each day.

 

That equates to about 120 hours a year

 

 

Additionally, you can be sure that YouTube advertising will give you a big reach (specifically, 32.4% of the population and 51.8% of internet users), since it is the second-largest search engine in the world.

 

 

 

 

Why advertise on YouTube?

Google heavily emphasized visual content during this year’s Google Marketing Live, even announcing the addition of YouTube Shorts advertising.

 

 

 

 

Let’s look at a few more advantages of YouTube advertising.

 

 





Exposure: YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world.

 

 





Sales: 70% of people have bought a product after seeing it in a YouTube ad

 

 




Brand identity: YouTube videos let you create unique brand experiences and express your business’s personality.

 

 






Data: YouTube analytics provides a wealth of data, including points viewers stop watching the video.

 

 



For example, take a look at these YouTube Studio reports you won’t find in Google Ads analytics.

 

 






Remarketing: You can run retargeting campaigns to users who have already watched your previous videos on YouTube or on the Google Display Network.

In 2022, YouTube advertising will be very profitable.

 

 

 

 

It enables content producers to monetise their work and guarantees that the appropriate adverts are presented to the appropriate audience.

 

 

 

 

So how does it function?

 

 

 

 


Well, the setup is rather easy if you want to promote on YouTube.

 

 

 

 

 

As long as you have a Google Ads account, a YouTube channel, and a bank account with money in it, you’re good to go! We’ll go over the detailed instructions later.

 

 

 

 

 

Again, we’ll cover that a little later.

 

 

 

 

 

Next, YouTube will target audiences with your ads based on the variables you entered when setting up the ad campaign.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do YouTube ads actually work?

Yes! The largest search engine online is YouTube, which is also owned by Google.

 

 

 

 

 

There is something to be said about the immediate, clickable aspect of the internet when research shows that YouTube commercials are 84% more likely to be successful than TV ads.

 

 

 

 


A quarter of the world’s population, or around two billion individuals, use YouTube each month, watching more than seven billion hours of content weekly.

 

 

 

 

 

You will be seen if your advertisements are effective and you choose the appropriate audience.

Types of YouTube Ads

 

 


A 30-second in-stream skippable advertisement is generally what comes to mind when you hear the term “YouTube ad.”

 

 

 

 

However, you probably were unaware of its name.

 

 

 

 

To accomplish various objectives, a variety of YouTube ad formats are available.

 

 

 

 

Of course, these formats are constantly evolving. There are now six formats for YouTube ads:

 

 



• Skippable in-stream ads: Play before, during, or after other videos, can be skipped after five seconds.

 

 

 


• Non-skippable in-stream ads: Play before, during, or after other videos, but can’t be skipped and are 15 seconds or less.

 

 

 


• Bumper ads: Play before, during, or after other videos, can’t be skipped, six seconds or less.

 

 

 


• Outstream ads: Mobile-only ads that appear on Google video partner sites, but not YouTube.

 

 

 


• Masthead ads: Appears on the YouTube home feed.

 

 

 


• Overlay ads: These aren’t video ads, but rather text/image display ads that appear on YouTube videos on desktop.

 

 

 


• This was once known as Video discovery commercials, which should not be confused with Discovery campaigns.

 

 

 

 

This is how to get YouTube to recommend your video in the “watch next” and search results sections. Here is what a mobile in-feed advertisement looks like:

 




Here are some of the key considerations to make when choosing your YouTube ad format:


Length: Your video ad can be any length, but generally, a “view” is counted at the 30-second mark, or the end of the video, whichever comes first.

 

 

 

 

Bumper ads are six seconds, non-skippable in-stream ads are 15, and skippable in-stream ads are 30.

 

 

 

 


Skippability: Will the user have the option to skip your ad after 6 seconds, or will they be required to watch the whole thing? Bumper ads and outstream ads are non-skippable.

 

 

 

 


Network: When a video ad serves within the YouTube video player, it’s called an in-stream ad.

 

 

 

 

 

When it plays on other sites (for example, within a display ad slot on a partner website), it’s called an outstream ad.

 

 

 

 


Sound: 95% of YouTube videos are viewed with the sound on.

 

 

 

 

 

This is in stark contrast to Facebook, where that number is 15%.

 

 

 

 

Most YouTube ads will be played with sound on.

 

 

 

 

However, outstream ads and Mastheads start with sound off by default.

 

 

 

 

 

Can you get free advertising on YouTube?

Unfortunately, there is no free advertising available on YouTube.

 

Sorry! Their advertising strategy is set up to treat advertisers equally.

Additionally, it gives content creators fair pay for permitting advertisements to appear on their work.
