YouTube Simplifies Video Promotion
YouTube is making it easier for creators to promote their videos. The new Promote button, now integrated into the YouTube app, allows users to boost their videos directly from the app. This feature mimics ad workflow on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, bypassing the need for Google Ads Manager. You can now enhance your video’s reach by selecting goals such as “more subscribers” or “more video views” and track the ad’s performance within the YouTube app.
