How to Boost Your YouTube Video

Welcome to Ben’s Experience! In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to effectively boost your YouTube videos to increase views and grow your audience.

Step 1: Access YouTube Studio

Start by logging into your YouTube account and navigating to the YouTube Studio dashboard. You can access this by typing in studio.youtube.com. Once you’re on the dashboard, click on the ‘Content’ section and look for the ‘Promotions’ tab.

Step 2: Set Your Promotion Goals

Click on the ‘Plus New Promotion’ button. Here, you can select your main goal for boosting your video. You have three options:

  • Audience Growth: Ideal for gaining more subscribers.
  • Video Views: Focused on increasing views for a specific video.
  • Website Visits: Aimed at driving traffic to your website.

Choose the option that aligns with your objectives and click ‘Next’.

Step 3: Select Your Video

Now, you need to choose which video you want to promote. You can find your video from a list or use the search feature. After selecting, you can edit the video’s headline and description to make it more appealing to potential viewers.

Step 4: Understand Promotion Placement

Your promoted video will appear in various locations, including the YouTube Home feed and search results. Make sure to preview how it will look to viewers.

Step 5: Target Your Audience

Next, you’ll decide who will see your promotion. Your video will be shown to viewers who are more likely to engage with your content based on existing subscribers. This is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your promotion.

Step 6: Budget and Schedule Your Promotion

You can set a budget for your promotion. For instance, if you have a budget of $30, you can spread this over several days. YouTube provides estimates on how many views you can expect based on your budget, helping you make informed decisions.

Step 7: Share Your Experience

From my experience, boosting a video can yield impressive results. For instance, when I boosted a video targeting audience growth, I received over 300,000 impressions and gained 718 subscribers within two days. Another video focused on gaining views received significant engagement in its first 24 hours.

In conclusion, boosting your YouTube videos is a strategic way to enhance your channel’s growth. Don’t forget to check out my free YouTube course for more insights on managing and growing your channel.
