Thinking About Advertising on YouTube? Here’s How To Start.

Have you been thinking of sponsoring creators on YouTube? 

This thread by @natelagos of Original Grains shows how you can generate 8X ROAS by collaborating with the right influencers:

With some of the most engaged audiences online, YouTube may be just the place to start testing sponsored content. 

But how should you find the right creators? 

Good old YouTube search.

As Nate says in the replies, “We just search on YouTube for things our customers would be interested in, and then find the creators’ IG handles and message them.” 

Excited to try this approach? We know we are!

PRO TIP: If you’re testing sponsored content, a timed sale or a promotion is a good time to do so as it’s easier to measure returns. But make sure you have the inventory to support it and spell out clear timeframes for the content to be posted.

#FeaturedAd - Craftd

Brand: Craftd
Category: Jewelry
Format: Single Image (Story)

WHY IT WORKS:

This ad keeps things simple. 

But it’s easy to miss the attention to detail here. 

The choice of photo, the minimalist text overlay, and the caption, all combine to deliver a hyper-targeted creative. 

The brand knows its persona. 100% water and sweat-proof, Craftd’s jewelry is made to be worn at both work and play.

With the ‘lifetime warranty’ repeated in both the creative and caption, the brand means business.
