Five Tips for YouTube Promoted Video Campaigns



If you are using, like to use, or never thought of using YouTube for promoting video campaigns, I urge you to give it a shot. An interesting statistic:

"Last year, YouTube surpassed Yahoo as the world's second largest search engine. In the UK alone, it attracts 17m unique users each month, with each of these users spending an average of an hour on the site."

The five tips are:
  •  Create a comprehensive Package
  •  Consider your keywords carefully
  •  Managing your bids
  •  Remember to include an overlay
  •  Interact with your audience
What are your ideas??

This infographic will help guide you with more metrics to legitimately measure marketing by. It is broken down into four sections:

  1. How to Guide Your Measurement Insight
  2. The Stages of Marketing Accountability
