Okay you skipped a step. You showed how to click promote. Did that. But there was no prompt to put in a card number to spend the money to promote it. How do I do that?

I used promotion, I chose low CPMS countries from the video and I'd like to share what happened to my channel. I chose a video that already had the most views. I started the promotion on Feb 7, 2024 and ended on Feb 21, 2024. I spent €75.35 and this happened. I started with 14 subscribers and now I have 2,842. The video went from 165 views to 43,181. Also, the views of my other videos have grown. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Thank you for this video😃
Awesome thanks brother I tried something similar to this some months ago and thought it was a raging success, but it was not, google ads was a real scam haha and the view count is a lie. Looking forward to implementing your new method here via youtube studio as opposed to the google ads interface. Fingers crossed we get some traction, great video mate all the best!! :)
I used the promotions feature a few times and my favorite result is that it drove traffic to my other videos. That became my primary purpose for using it. Having a pinned comment, end-screen and card on the promoted video lead those viewers on a path to other videos. I set it up with a specific path and it worked. I was thrilled! Basically, promoted 1 video that resulted in increasing activity on other videos. This is a feature I will most likely come back to in the future, but certainly not something I would recommend being used on a regular basis. This is a sometimes feature. Rare occasion at most. Excellent video as always! I have learned a lot from your channel. Greatly appreciated!
Yeah but my question is that do those watch hours on those other videos contribute to the partner program? That's the key. Another idea I came up with have 2 YT accounts. Where you promote your main account on a secondary account that way your main account violates no rules and the views and subs you receive are perceived as organic.
@@TheLordPanic From what I understand, the watch hours of the promoted video during the promotion when clicked on from the promotion, do not count. BUT, any watch hours that the viewer puts in on another video they watched because of seeing the promoted video, do.
@@TheLordPanic I have used this feature a few times now and have been happy with the results, overall. It's certainly a bit of a gamble in a way, but when it works and takes the viewer on a journey through your channel, it's a nice payoff. End-Screens, Cards, Pinned Comments, etc. are all key. Build the path.
Thanks! At the beginning of the promotion i was on 100 subscribers. £18.50 later and 2 weeks on, I'm on 1,050. Was not expecting these types of results!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's interesting to see how the TH-cam Promotions feature can boost subscribers quickly. However, the long-term engagement and genuine connection with your audience are still crucial for success. Quality content and organic growth seem to be the key elements for sustained success on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, Marcus! 💪🚀
I agree,there was a crazy roller coaster where i went up to 1400 subs in 48 hrs and lost 700 in a day, I seem to have finally stablized at just over 400 and im trying to stay without promoting i tried and it didnt work for me people leave. I want to grow organically so I can do this for a few years I hope. But I love the advice Marcus gives so far i have done what he suggest,its just crazy how this algorythem thing works. I do a cooking channel and 2 not great videos got over 1000 likes and over a 1000 views? I felt I have better food content but whatever. I'm retired and cooking is a passion so im in for the long haul. sorry for the novel.
I fine-tuned your analytic. I sat here with my husband last night and saw one video that already had about 5.5k views in three weeks get another 5K in one-hour last night after fine-tuning your teachings. I also figured out some things on my own. Retention rate is good for many of my music videos. Keep in mind, some may just want to gain more followers for whatever personal reasons they may have. I just loved listening to your videos, Marcus. I learned quite a bit from what I already knew. Cheers!
I think its completely cool to buy some subs, likes etc in the beginning but only if you really have quality content. I didn't want to work my a** of just to get couple of likes. I got myself little push from Fame ster in terms of subs and only after that my channel started to get organic traffic. Great video btw!
Yeah I came across a reddit post that said the exact same thing. They were mentioning that ads are not good for long term strat ut a great way to give your account that initial boost.
I am starting to think the same. My first videos were definitely not great (old camera gear + we all make mistakes when starting something new) but now with experience and new camera gear I get a lot of praise on most recent uploads. The problem is, YT still does not make a lot of video impressions because I am a small channel, and YT is a numbers game so no one subscribes. So I am starting to think I should just make YT promotions until I reach 10-20K subscribers, then the numbers game should just do the rest.
@@QuentinExplores Truth which is what most big channel don't wanna tell us ,some run private ads on other media and channel it down to TH-cam run ads till u get a substantial numbers then leave it to grow organically
Following up on this; what he says at the end should tell you whether you should try this or not. I have had enough watch hours for a few months but need the subscribers to catch up. I tried this with two videos and promoted them until mid-January 2024 with just a small amount of money. and within 15 hours I had 300 more subscribers and now I can at least apply for the program. It does work.
If you don't mind me asking how did you have it set up because I'm not getting the same results has him and I feel like I'm doing something wrong It's for a food channel
I cannot thank you enough for this golden advice, Marcus. For over a year, my channel was gaining about one subscriber for every 650+ views. I set up a $100 two-week YT promotion with the low CPM group. After a little over a week, I've gained over 3,200 subscribers and at least 12k views! Wonderful and proven advice! Thanks, again!
You asked for a follow up on this! I got you bro. I was able to track down where are the other subs coming. Seems this are people who interact with the people who actually subscribed with the ad. So it's like a domino effect. Now, I also noticed that the ad was killing my metric, so I created a 30 second teaser to invite watch the full video on my channel, and bingo! I have like a 50-60% watch time duration and getting subs. Btw, the other thing I did was adding the full video as a click, so when they click they actually watch the video without the "ad view", so it's counting on my watch time! Cheers mate
We found the exact same results here. It was so dramatically successful that we decided to pause all promotions because subs were growing so much faster than views. We also started using it only on shorts so that it didn’t affect watch time so much.
@@angielski_inaczej I mean - think what you want but if you check like social blade or something you can see that on Halloween we had 5k subs and we hit 22k after like 6 weeks, maybe less. Also, if I was trying to promote it I wouldn’t criticize the fact that watch time was terrible and views didn’t grow as fast as subs. Frankly, subs are a vanity metric at this point and TH-cam algorithm cares more about views and watch time. So while the boost helped, it’s not a magic bullet for success.
@@angielski_inaczeji can back this up, I tried it and my channel blew up over night literally (probably because all of those low buying power countries are awake when we sleep lol). I went from 400 subs to 1,300 in like 15 hours. I got worried that it was growing too fast so I just stopped the promotion after a week.
This was a really interesting video, but anyone looking to grow a sustainable channel should ignore the lure of buying anything. Simply focus on content. The subs and watch time will look after themselves and finding an audience naturally will surely lead to better results longer term.
Wow, that's a bold move! It's always important to be cautious when it comes to buying subscribers. The engagement and authenticity of your audience are crucial for long-term success on TH-cam. Excited to hear about your experience! 💪👀👀
This is so true. I would actually advise against doing this. It will kill your view count and your engagement rate. Organic growth will no longer be a think after using this
@@Mactakun agreed. most of my growth out of this method came organically. promotion shows it giving 100 subs when im really gaining 700 that day. watch time is through the roof in a nice spread among all recent videos. i have promoted 3 videos so far this past month and my channel growth is astounding. audience retention averages only get silly on the promoted videos.
This has been super helpful brother. Thank you. I have been trying to better market my music videos further across the world and this might do the trick :)
Thanks for the tips and hard work pumping out content!👍 I think organically getting subs is still better even though it looks good to see the large amount of subscribers on the channel. The TH-cam grind is such a mountain of a climb, it pains me to see when people consistently pump out content but the growth doesn't follow. I hope everyone that reads this may continue to strive for that goal of becoming successful and get monetized!
I'm trying I put work into my videos but it seems everyone I know that started after me grows faster than me and they don't even put in half the effort.
@@1ND1V1DUAL1ST I had the similar problem before but I think I am at the point now where I am okay with the slow progress, still discouraging but looking forward to perfecting what content I am gonna make to stand out. Keep pushing forward!!! You got this! 🎉🎉On the plus side you are almost 5x the subscriber I have 😂
@accandid I go back and forth between not caring and getting into competitive mode and thinking I'm failing. You're right though, I'm not gonna quit but it definitely gets discouraging sometimes. We got this, we just have to make it through the night to reach the sunrise. I'm sorry for complaining, but it also makes me feel better that someone understands. I wish you much success, if it makes you feel better it looks like you just started and the amount of subscribers you have now took me around a month or two to get so if you stay dedicated you'll be surpassing me in no time as well 🤣🤣.
@@1ND1V1DUAL1ST I took a peak at your page. If you're open to advice: it's difficult to tell what your content is about by browsing your thumbnails, try providing more information in your thumbnails, use good contrast between your text and image and give the viewer a hook to draw them in. Just my 2cents, I didn't watch your videos, so feedback is only base on the thumbnails and titles, which are very key to getting views.
Late to the party on this but it 100% worked, was growing my second channel, had 10k watch hours but only 900 subs after a year, used the promotions tab to promote the video that had gained me the most subs just to see what happened, same findings - in the YPP it showed I had met the requirements and the promotion subs had counted.
Just wanted to say thanks. I followed your tips on using Estonia, Indonesia etc with English as the language. I promoted an old video from over a year ago to when I was still learning how to do YT and re did the thumbnail and description to hopefully help improve the CTR. The video only had 56 views on it after over a year. I had 700 existing subs, and I already had +6000hrs watchtime. Since the promotion was approve around 12 hours ago, I've already gained 100 subs and the video has a further 300 views on it. I chose to do a $50AUD promotion to run for two weeks, I can't imagine that the growth will continue in the same manner as it has in the last 12 hours, but hold onto your hats if it does! Thanks again and Happy New Year!
@honestnerd @honestnerd I got 1200 new subscribers for $50AUD.... but they're not very active subs and not one commented on the promoted video. It doesn't appear to have affected my channel as it still behaves exactly as it did with 700 subscribers. I'll do another in a few months but targeting my own country not the ones listed in the video.
Its counting the subs DIRECTLY FROM the promotion. If a person watches a different video on ur channel and subscribes then they count that as organic because u pushed that session time with the quality of the videos. If they see ur promo video on a device where they arent logged in and then they go on their phone and search u up ans subscribe it gets counted as organic. If they share a video or send it to theirself or a friend it gets counted as organic. Also having views and subs makes other people more likely to watch or sub because of social proof.
I just used promotions for the first time. I promoted a short that I already had 27k views on to bring traffic in. Before promotions I had 460 subs and after promotions I now have 776. And...I only used $15!! My full length videos now are gaining more traffic. Still need 3k more for watch time unfortunately.
The only critique I have with targeting low cpm countries is the prevalence of bot farms in those countries. It sucks because the subscriber cost is super low, but they are often not real people but bot accounts, and as such your videos and organic algorithm will be damaged as a result. This is a typical truth taught in most digital marketing courses (including googles own digital marketing certification course), unfortunately moral of the story is you get what you pay for. Generally it's better to run ads on tier one and MAYBE tier two marketing countries. It's much more expensive but the chances of them being a real person that's really interested in your content is much higher as a result.
Hi Dear, I hope you are doing well. I am a TH-cam video SEO expert. I was analyzing your TH-cam channel. I am really impressed by your videos, but your TH-cam channel has some issues. You have made many videos, but your TH-cam channel is not getting as many views and subscribers as expected. Because you have no complete SEO for any videos, no channel tags, and no video tags, if you SEO your videos, your subscribers and views will increase, and your channel will grow. Your video quality is very good, but the channel is not increasing due to not doing video SEO. By doing video SEO, the channel grows faster. I can help you if you want.
So my channel had 4000 subs on Christmas (thanks Santa) and I watched this the next day. I did a test too. Picked a good traffic video but not the highest from search. Did a $50 spend across about a week. Picked up 200 subs in 24 hours. Almost all within about an hour so it looks like YT dumps all the ad buy at once. That 200 maxed out the about $4.50 a day spend. So I shortened the campaign by three days and just got 203 more. Now I'm already monetized and subs aren't as important as views or interaction but most PR teams still use subs as a measure so it's nice. But it definitely works and I think it works best with content that's already got some algorithm action.
Hi Dave , can you tell me how to shorten the subs ? I spent $100 and hit the 1K Now I tho k I can pause the spending. Is that correct ? Thanks in advance 😊
@@AIGodSkills if you go to the promote section you can pause the campaign. If you can't find that tool click on any video three dot icons and select promote and it'll bring you to the dashboard
I did youtube beta promotions. I started my channel in august. Have been spending about 350 usd now. I have now 39.000 subs in 7 months. Around 12.000 subs is from promotions.
Hmm, cant seem to find my previous message. Sent just over a week ago. I was on 245 subs when id sent it. I've followed your method & its taken my subs up to 2.8K. Still a few days left till it ends. Infact i took out another; for £20.00, the first for £75.00. Ive also swapped & rotated the video's i used for the campaign. & they've all caught views & subs. Ive accounted about 70 subs from the videos according to the data, & ive know idea where the other 2k plus subs have come from 🤷🏾♂️. Definitely not complaining. Thanks man 👍🏾👍🏾
Keep in mind you should still promote to America and have title cards to other videos, the TH-cam promotions probably won’t be active but if you are actively helping it could put you on TH-cam’s algorithm
Following up on this video, I just wanted to say thank you. I gave these methods a try and it absolutely works, the growth received in such a short time is next-level and have already recommended YT promotions and this video to others. Great job!
I gave this a try and followed your instructions. I have my watch hours, but not many subs. So far on day 2 of the promo, and subs have gone from 420 to 661. Great trick to help get monetized. Thanks
@@advancedhittingtraining8233 ya for some reason it seems to count toward the subscriber count, but i dont think the watch hrs. Perhaps its a error in youtube code or somthing, because i was notified i have the requirments now to apply for monetization. 🤔
Update: I ran a $50CAD promo following these instructions for under 2 weeks, i went from 420 Subs to 1,673 subs. These DID count towards monetization for me, and was approved within 24 hrs. Somthing to note, i had my watch hrs already. And The data that shows how many subs are from this promo doesnt add up with my channel. But for my particular circumstance this worked and has motivated me to start putting out "How to" content in my Niche. Thanks for this video!! :)
I tried using promotions I did get alot of subs from it, the downside is they are all dead subs and don't look at your videos. That's why I started over to earn it organically
True. This works if you only want subs just for bragging rights. They don’t watch your videos and tend to disappear after a short time. I got like 10,000+ subs from promotions and my views didn’t budge one bit.
Interesting topic. I learned something new on this. Hope your channel grows exponentially this year! I am at at 41 subs but being patient about it. I know my time will come 😀
After 16h only it the promotion option as Marcus suggested got me already +35 subscribers…let’s see what will be in the upcoming 48h…interesting!!! Thanks Marcus
I followed the "Low CPM, English speaking" instructions yesterday and today I got the notification "Your Google Ad account is suspended - Your account violated the Circumventing systems policy." So these might not be great instructions anymore.
@@Danny_Walk_Stay I ended up also getting unsuspended, and then ran a couple promotions with really good results. I got roughly 1,300 subscribers for $50 between 3 different promotions.
My channel had 117 subscribers only yesterday and now over 1k in just 24 hours by spending as little as £40. 🙏🙏 thanks Marcus for a fantastic video! now I need to work on my views to start making passive income. This is the best video ever!
I wish I had this video back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but wasn't getting any attention. 1k was mission impossible. I was lucky when I found out I can boost my channel with initial subs just enough to start getting noticed. I got myself first couple of hundred subs for very low price (I personally used a little bit of Famester). After that my main channel gained a ton of organic traffic.
If you have passion and desire for it, you will make it. organically. Fingers crossed for all small youtubers trying to get there on your own unique content 👏💪💪
This works! Thank you so much ❤❤❤ I was struggling to hit the 1k subscribers mark, I was at almost 700. My 4k watch hours were done two months ago. This boost helped me enter the YPP! I'm grateful to you and your video 🙂🙂🙂 You saved me a few months of struggle, which we all know can burn you out when it's faced with slow results.
So I crossed the 700 subscriber mark and apply for TH-cam Partner Program. Do you know if the promotion pauses as TH-cam reviews a channel? Or does it keep running? I’m asking because I haven’t seen any more impressions or views in the past 4 hours on the video since I applied for YPP this morning. I have only used 13% of the budget that I selected.
Quite often the low cpm followers are not active they are literally as effective as bots . More spend per person gives more real value with future likes and hours . The ones that floods when you are doing promotions all over are is litteraly following thousands, they will not be active . The same goes for instagram , quality over quantity .
Is it not possible that the extra subscribers came from organic views? Being that your channel was gaining so many new subs at once, TH-cam could’ve been promoting it?
The 1k subs wasnt the worst for me to get organically. The watch hours have been the tricky part for me. IMO its easy enough to get subs quick by just loading your existing videos into an online AI short generator and posting them regularly. I'm fairly partial to slow organic growth over fast growth though so i dont think Im too interested in this.
The thrill of organic growth thumps all but struggling with subs. My 10k views got me 80 subs which i was happy abour but for 10k views should be higher. People subscribing to a channel is alot harder than initially thought.
Just started 25 days ako. Had 200 subs. Until I started promoting my videos. Now I'm currently at 1933 subs, 21,000 views. I'm happy. I don't plan to use ads forever but it's a good kickstart specially if you do not have social media audience yet.
@ShinigamiRyan are they? They pretty responsive as bots. So I'm okay with that for now. Anyways, I'm just enjoying my trips and creative (not much) hobby. 😊
Itu bagus... Bisakah Anda memberi saran bagaimana Anda melakukannya?... Apakah Anda mempromosikan berdasarkan Pertumbuhan Pemirsa atau penayangan video dan jenis iklan apa? Terima kasih banyak sebelumnya
@MariaFashion-Niqab i boosted for audience since I already hit 1k subscribers. Just to reach more people. And I choose specific country, which is my home country.
Wasn’t this uploaded some time ago? I recall watching it already but you deleted the old one? Some testing you are doing here? If yes, I’m curious about the out come.. 🧐
Hey bro, can you or someone please help me understand this ? My TH-cam channel was made on the 10 of July 2023, I currently have over 2400 subscribers as of this moment. But before I got a TH-cam strike warning probably three months ago before I hit the monetization requirements, so when I got the warning strike I was not over 1000 subscribers and was not eligible for monetization yet, and also when I got the warning strike, I did not do the policy training training, but then I realized I didn’t so a month after and I completed it. When I did so, it said that my warning would be removed in 90 days (expires on 1 January). As I said I’m currently on 2400 subscribers and have over 4000 watch hours but, I haven’t build channel history to get monetized for my channel. Could this be Because I have to wait for my warning to expire (Can the warning strike be the problem) or can it be because my channel is still too young ? (I made my channel on 10th of July 2023 and it is now 26th of December 2023).
This is quite interesting actually, because the question is - depending on how you actually handle subscribers and views - do you really get followers who are interested in what you create, or just random people who aren't? For example, I value having followers who also like what I do.

now this is some solid research. Nicely done
Thank you
Well done, well explained, we'll executed! 💯👊
To the new TH-camr..you can do it! Keep up the good work!
I think its completely cool to buy some subs, likes etc in the beginning but only if you really have quality content. I didn't want to work my a** of just to get couple of likes. I got myself little push from Fame ster in terms of subs and only after that my channel started to get organic traffic. Great video btw!
Yeah I came across a reddit post that said the exact same thing. They were mentioning that ads are not good for long term strat ut a great way to give your account that initial boost.
I am starting to think the same. My first videos were definitely not great (old camera gear + we all make mistakes when starting something new) but now with experience and new camera gear I get a lot of praise on most recent uploads. The problem is, YT still does not make a lot of video impressions because I am a small channel, and YT is a numbers game so no one subscribes.
So I am starting to think I should just make YT promotions until I reach 10-20K subscribers, then the numbers game should just do the rest.
@@QuentinExplores Truth which is what most big channel don't wanna tell us ,some run private ads on other media and channel it down to TH-cam run ads till u get a substantial numbers then leave it to grow organically
@@QuentinExplores hows it doing?
How can I use fame star. I just started my channel
Following up on this; what he says at the end should tell you whether you should try this or not. I have had enough watch hours for a few months but need the subscribers to catch up. I tried this with two videos and promoted them until mid-January 2024 with just a small amount of money. and within 15 hours I had 300 more subscribers and now I can at least apply for the program. It does work.
If you don't mind me asking how did you have it set up because I'm not getting the same results has him and I feel like I'm doing something wrong It's for a food channel
@@yothere4863 I have it set up the same way he does in the video…
@@yothere4863 Oh to be more specific I did the low buying power countries only and left out The United States
Do you know why your viewers are not subscribing?
@@TheMimiShows I'm getting around 1 Sub for ever like 80 views which I feel is a pretty good ratio. Is it not.
I cannot thank you enough for this golden advice, Marcus. For over a year, my channel was gaining about one subscriber for every 650+ views. I set up a $100 two-week YT promotion with the low CPM group. After a little over a week, I've gained over 3,200 subscribers and at least 12k views! Wonderful and proven advice! Thanks, again!
ur content is great tho
did it work with monetization?
ESTONIA HERE! Love Your videos! 👍👍
Small Content Creators just keep grinding hard work pays off good luck
Gained 4k+ subs using this method took about two weeks! Thank you!!
You asked for a follow up on this! I got you bro.
I was able to track down where are the other subs coming. Seems this are people who interact with the people who actually subscribed with the ad. So it's like a domino effect.
Now, I also noticed that the ad was killing my metric, so I created a 30 second teaser to invite watch the full video on my channel, and bingo! I have like a 50-60% watch time duration and getting subs.
Btw, the other thing I did was adding the full video as a click, so when they click they actually watch the video without the "ad view", so it's counting on my watch time!
Cheers mate
mind explaining the last part?
Finally reached 1k subs,thanks to u❤
Congrats! 🎉 It's only going up from here man.

Good
Good video, that's for the information! Imma see what I can cook up 🤔
We found the exact same results here. It was so dramatically successful that we decided to pause all promotions because subs were growing so much faster than views. We also started using it only on shorts so that it didn’t affect watch time so much.
You seem like you're not telling the truth. Just advertising the product.
@@angielski_inaczej I mean - think what you want but if you check like social blade or something you can see that on Halloween we had 5k subs and we hit 22k after like 6 weeks, maybe less. Also, if I was trying to promote it I wouldn’t criticize the fact that watch time was terrible and views didn’t grow as fast as subs. Frankly, subs are a vanity metric at this point and TH-cam algorithm cares more about views and watch time. So while the boost helped, it’s not a magic bullet for success.
@@angielski_inaczeji can back this up, I tried it and my channel blew up over night literally (probably because all of those low buying power countries are awake when we sleep lol). I went from 400 subs to 1,300 in like 15 hours. I got worried that it was growing too fast so I just stopped the promotion after a week.
what does this even mean???? you think the poster is working for google? come on now@@angielski_inaczej
Ohhh, I like that idea... shorts only. Thanks!
This was a really interesting video, but anyone looking to grow a sustainable channel should ignore the lure of buying anything. Simply focus on content. The subs and watch time will look after themselves and finding an audience naturally will surely lead to better results longer term.
for safe youtube followers Smmbump
Getting there, closing in on 1k organically 😊
We subbed, good luck!
How long did it take?
@@8DollarBeats On my first channel 10 years. On this channel 5 months. Bigger market audience and used everything I learnt, 👍
Good luck 👍
Good luck to you, I ain't even close to 1k subs (I have 16 subs from before I deleted all my videos).
It’s really helpful. Thank you so much 👍👍
Wow, that's a bold move! It's always important to be cautious when it comes to buying subscribers. The engagement and authenticity of your audience are crucial for long-term success on TH-cam. Excited to hear about your experience! 💪👀👀
This is so true. I would actually advise against doing this. It will kill your view count and your engagement rate. Organic growth will no longer be a think after using this
Nah this is essentially showing your videos to more people. It is organic growth, just accelerated with money.
@@Mactakun agreed. most of my growth out of this method came organically. promotion shows it giving 100 subs when im really gaining 700 that day. watch time is through the roof in a nice spread among all recent videos. i have promoted 3 videos so far this past month and my channel growth is astounding. audience retention averages only get silly on the promoted videos.
This has been super helpful brother. Thank you.
I have been trying to better market my music videos further across the world and this might do the trick :)
Great data. am gonna use this to drive traffic to my videos
Your content is always so well-thought-out and well-researched. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the tips and hard work pumping out content!👍
I think organically getting subs is still better even though it looks good to see the large amount of subscribers on the channel. The TH-cam grind is such a mountain of a climb, it pains me to see when people consistently pump out content but the growth doesn't follow.
I hope everyone that reads this may continue to strive for that goal of becoming successful and get monetized!
I'm trying I put work into my videos but it seems everyone I know that started after me grows faster than me and they don't even put in half the effort.
@@1ND1V1DUAL1ST I had the similar problem before but I think I am at the point now where I am okay with the slow progress, still discouraging but looking forward to perfecting what content I am gonna make to stand out. Keep pushing forward!!! You got this! 🎉🎉On the plus side you are almost 5x the subscriber I have 😂
@accandid I go back and forth between not caring and getting into competitive mode and thinking I'm failing. You're right though, I'm not gonna quit but it definitely gets discouraging sometimes. We got this, we just have to make it through the night to reach the sunrise. I'm sorry for complaining, but it also makes me feel better that someone understands. I wish you much success, if it makes you feel better it looks like you just started and the amount of subscribers you have now took me around a month or two to get so if you stay dedicated you'll be surpassing me in no time as well 🤣🤣.
It can’t happen overnight organically is tough but worth it tbh
@@1ND1V1DUAL1ST I took a peak at your page. If you're open to advice: it's difficult to tell what your content is about by browsing your thumbnails, try providing more information in your thumbnails, use good contrast between your text and image and give the viewer a hook to draw them in. Just my 2cents, I didn't watch your videos, so feedback is only base on the thumbnails and titles, which are very key to getting views.
Bro you actually HELP people THANK YOU❗️❗️❗️
Late to the party on this but it 100% worked, was growing my second channel, had 10k watch hours but only 900 subs after a year, used the promotions tab to promote the video that had gained me the most subs just to see what happened, same findings - in the YPP it showed I had met the requirements and the promotion subs had counted.
@Gavinhr did you get a bump in watch hours as well? I have subs but am lacking watch hours on my long form content.
Thanks you your video helped me so much 🎉❤😊
Just wanted to say thanks. I followed your tips on using Estonia, Indonesia etc with English as the language. I promoted an old video from over a year ago to when I was still learning how to do YT and re did the thumbnail and description to hopefully help improve the CTR. The video only had 56 views on it after over a year. I had 700 existing subs, and I already had +6000hrs watchtime.
Since the promotion was approve around 12 hours ago, I've already gained 100 subs and the video has a further 300 views on it. I chose to do a $50AUD promotion to run for two weeks, I can't imagine that the growth will continue in the same manner as it has in the last 12 hours, but hold onto your hats if it does!
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
did u try it on this channel or another one?
@honestnerd @honestnerd I got 1200 new subscribers for $50AUD.... but they're not very active subs and not one commented on the promoted video. It doesn't appear to have affected my channel as it still behaves exactly as it did with 700 subscribers. I'll do another in a few months but targeting my own country not the ones listed in the video.
So for a channel not yet monetized, will those subscribers count towards the monetization program?
Yes@@advancedhittingtraining8233
@@advancedhittingtraining8233 yes
Its counting the subs DIRECTLY FROM the promotion. If a person watches a different video on ur channel and subscribes then they count that as organic because u pushed that session time with the quality of the videos. If they see ur promo video on a device where they arent logged in and then they go on their phone and search u up ans subscribe it gets counted as organic. If they share a video or send it to theirself or a friend it gets counted as organic. Also having views and subs makes other people more likely to watch or sub because of social proof.
I would think the watch hours would also count from those other videos they watched, that part is not making sense to me.
Theres so much more that goes into making youtube then i thought! Good luck to everyone this next year ❤
I just used promotions for the first time. I promoted a short that I already had 27k views on to bring traffic in. Before promotions I had 460 subs and after promotions I now have 776. And...I only used $15!! My full length videos now are gaining more traffic. Still need 3k more for watch time unfortunately.
The only critique I have with targeting low cpm countries is the prevalence of bot farms in those countries. It sucks because the subscriber cost is super low, but they are often not real people but bot accounts, and as such your videos and organic algorithm will be damaged as a result. This is a typical truth taught in most digital marketing courses (including googles own digital marketing certification course), unfortunately moral of the story is you get what you pay for. Generally it's better to run ads on tier one and MAYBE tier two marketing countries. It's much more expensive but the chances of them being a real person that's really interested in your content is much higher as a result.
This is a fantastic comment and should be pinned. Any more gems to share?
You are a Legend buddy! Thank you for sharing and well organised🙏
Hope everyone’s channel grows this year! I just started my own!

Argentinian here! Great content my friend! :D
Hi Dear, I hope you are doing well. I am a TH-cam video SEO expert. I was analyzing your TH-cam channel. I am really impressed by your videos, but your TH-cam channel has some issues. You have made many videos, but your TH-cam channel is not getting as many views and subscribers as expected. Because you have no complete SEO for any videos, no channel tags, and no video tags, if you SEO your videos, your subscribers and views will increase, and your channel will grow. Your video quality is very good, but the channel is not increasing due to not doing video SEO. By doing video SEO, the channel grows faster. I can help you if you want.
So my channel had 4000 subs on Christmas (thanks Santa) and I watched this the next day. I did a test too. Picked a good traffic video but not the highest from search. Did a $50 spend across about a week.
Picked up 200 subs in 24 hours. Almost all within about an hour so it looks like YT dumps all the ad buy at once.
That 200 maxed out the about $4.50 a day spend. So I shortened the campaign by three days and just got 203 more.
Now I'm already monetized and subs aren't as important as views or interaction but most PR teams still use subs as a measure so it's nice.
But it definitely works and I think it works best with content that's already got some algorithm action.
Hi Dave , can you tell me how to shorten the subs ? I spent $100 and hit the 1K Now I tho k I can pause the spending. Is that correct ? Thanks in advance 😊
@@AIGodSkills if you go to the promote section you can pause the campaign. If you can't find that tool click on any video three dot icons and select promote and it'll bring you to the dashboard
I did youtube beta promotions. I started my channel in august. Have been spending about 350 usd now. I have now 39.000 subs in 7 months. Around 12.000 subs is from promotions.
Interesting! Great to see the data, will check this out!👏
Good video and thank you for the conclusion at the end. I probably will do this, but at the same time have very little expectations
May TH-cam journey in 2024 be filled with prosperity and purpose.🎉
I hope mine grows as well! Cheers, and thanks for the great info! 🥃
Hmm, cant seem to find my previous message.
Sent just over a week ago. I was on 245 subs when id sent it. I've followed your method & its taken my subs up to 2.8K. Still a few days left till it ends. Infact i took out another; for £20.00, the first for £75.00. Ive also swapped & rotated the video's i used for the campaign. & they've all caught views & subs. Ive accounted about 70 subs from the videos according to the data, & ive know idea where the other 2k plus subs have come from 🤷🏾♂️.
Definitely not complaining.
Thanks man 👍🏾👍🏾
I Love your Comment
Thank for your share that case I like ! great channel to more grow up viewer as well
Still doing it the old-fashioned way, pray that i hit 100 soon. Happy New Year everyone🎉 ( Update i'm at 61 now and was at 48 yaay )
i just drop a sub :)
@@NoKillz and i just appreciate you :)
I hope I reach 100 soon too
@RahaanPlayz tnx man
Great video! Thank you!
Keep in mind you should still promote to America and have title cards to other videos, the TH-cam promotions probably won’t be active but if you are actively helping it could put you on TH-cam’s algorithm
buying subscribers is pretty weird, but honestly worth it.
Following up on this video, I just wanted to say thank you. I gave these methods a try and it absolutely works, the growth received in such a short time is next-level and have already recommended YT promotions and this video to others. Great job!
Thanks for the info!
I hope your channel grows in 2024!!
I gave this a try and followed your instructions. I have my watch hours, but not many subs. So far on day 2 of the promo, and subs have gone from 420 to 661. Great trick to help get monetized. Thanks
We subbed to ya, good luck ❤
@@pinballjunkies thanks!!
Good stuff, but when I go to Promotions on my channel studio, it says that subs through a promotion do not contribute to TH-cam Partner eligibility.
@@advancedhittingtraining8233 ya for some reason it seems to count toward the subscriber count, but i dont think the watch hrs. Perhaps its a error in youtube code or somthing, because i was notified i have the requirments now to apply for monetization. 🤔
Update: I ran a $50CAD promo following these instructions for under 2 weeks, i went from 420 Subs to 1,673 subs. These DID count towards monetization for me, and was approved within 24 hrs. Somthing to note, i had my watch hrs already. And The data that shows how many subs are from this promo doesnt add up with my channel. But for my particular circumstance this worked and has motivated me to start putting out "How to" content in my Niche. Thanks for this video!! :)
I tried using promotions I did get alot of subs from it, the downside is they are all dead subs and don't look at your videos. That's why I started over to earn it organically
That’s a great point but was starting over necessary?
@@AllAboutPurple yup XD 80% of audience was Nigeria and India they don't stick..
True. This works if you only want subs just for bragging rights. They don’t watch your videos and tend to disappear after a short time. I got like 10,000+ subs from promotions and my views didn’t budge one bit.
Started my channel in 2021, still not reached 1000 subscribers... to all channels trying to make it, all the best! Keep going.
Interesting topic. I learned something new on this. Hope your channel grows exponentially this year! I am at at 41 subs but being patient about it. I know my time will come 😀

ok crossing my fingers it will work testing it right now!!! will update...stay tuned:) Thanks Marcus
After 16h only it the promotion option as Marcus suggested got me already +35 subscribers…let’s see what will be in the upcoming 48h…interesting!!! Thanks Marcus
Ok ✅ I’m in shock 😳 extra 3h…+50 subs 🤩 thanks for the tips Marcus ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I followed the "Low CPM, English speaking" instructions yesterday and today I got the notification "Your Google Ad account is suspended - Your account violated the Circumventing systems policy."
So these might not be great instructions anymore.
me too... but I appeal and my account got unsuspended after that. But I am so scare after that and will not dare to press the promote button anymore.
@@Danny_Walk_Stay I ended up also getting unsuspended, and then ran a couple promotions with really good results. I got roughly 1,300 subscribers for $50 between 3 different promotions.

I wish I had this video back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but wasn't getting any attention. 1k was mission impossible. I was lucky when I found out I can boost my channel with initial subs just enough to start getting noticed.

Well already have the subs so GG, just need to get that 4000 watch hours.
Quite often the low cpm followers are not active they are literally as effective as bots . More spend per person gives more real value with future likes and hours . The ones that floods when you are doing promotions all over are is litteraly following thousands, they will not be active . The same goes for instagram , quality over quantity .
So what should u do instead to get those people

Thank you for the information. I just started my youtube channel and am trying to grow but it is very difficult in the beginning.
Is it not possible that the extra subscribers came from organic views?
Being that your channel was gaining so many new subs at once, TH-cam could’ve been promoting it?

The 1k subs wasnt the worst for me to get organically. The watch hours have been the tricky part for me. IMO its easy enough to get subs quick by just loading your existing videos into an online AI short generator and posting them regularly. I'm fairly partial to slow organic growth over fast growth though so i dont think Im too interested in this.
Do you have a link to an online short generator? Thx
What AI system do you use to cut your vids into shorts?
@@Ho-ran I pay for OpusClip at the moment
The thrill of organic growth thumps all but struggling with subs. My 10k views got me 80 subs which i was happy abour but for 10k views should be higher. People subscribing to a channel is alot harder than initially thought.
Google Ads helped me with watch time
Just started 25 days ako. Had 200 subs. Until I started promoting my videos. Now I'm currently at 1933 subs, 21,000 views. I'm happy. I don't plan to use ads forever but it's a good kickstart specially if you do not have social media audience yet.
Congrats on the bots.
@ShinigamiRyan are they? They pretty responsive as bots. So I'm okay with that for now. Anyways, I'm just enjoying my trips and creative (not much) hobby. 😊

Hey bro, can you or someone please help me understand this ?
My TH-cam channel was made on the 10 of July 2023, I currently have over 2400 subscribers as of this moment.
But before I got a TH-cam strike warning probably three months ago before I hit the monetization requirements, so when I got the warning strike I was not over 1000 subscribers and was not eligible for monetization yet, and also when I got the warning strike, I did not do the policy training training, but then I realized I didn’t so a month after and I completed it.
When I did so, it said that my warning would be removed in 90 days (expires on 1 January).
As I said I’m currently on 2400 subscribers and have over 4000 watch hours but, I haven’t build channel history to get monetized for my channel. Could this be Because I have to wait for my warning to expire (Can the warning strike be the problem) or can it be because my channel is still too young ? (I made my channel on 10th of July 2023 and it is now 26th of December 2023).
yes, i still received a strike on my main channel, i think you would have to wait for 90 days which is a very long time
@@vomchieMH oh ok
not an age thing, I got partnered my first 2 weeks
This is quite interesting actually, because the question is - depending on how you actually handle subscribers and views - do you really get followers who are interested in what you create, or just random people who aren't? For example, I value having followers who also like what I do.
