Here's something that I think that we should focus on a bit and something
Mike:we haven't really done too much of, but is an area that I think that when
Mike:we start to run more YouTube campaigns to pre-build these lists this is kind
Mike:of an advanced, I guess, strategy.
Mike:The specific campaigns, the Testi performance Max kind of boil down to.
Mike:GSP and display was not a really good idea.
Mike:You can use them.
Mike:Let your client know.
Mike:A lot of times they're like, Holy crap.
Mike:I didn't know you could do that.
Mike:Yeah, could we use their every video?
Mike:That's great.
Mike:I'll contact them and ask them if I can use it.
Mike:That's a really, really easy way to get buy in from a client that
Mike:may not want to run YouTube.
Mike:We could do this tomorrow.
Mike:So, yeah, the audience segmentation in market, infinity, YouTube marketing.
Mike:Ah, so YouTube and marketing with feeds to channel engaged users.
Mike:Here's something that I think that we should focus on a bit and something we
Mike:haven't really done too much of, but is an area that I think that when we
Mike:start to run more YouTube campaigns to.
Mike:Pre-build these lists.
Mike:This is kind of an advanced, I guess, strategy.
Mike:You go into tools and settings and you go into the audience manager.
Mike:You have to have a YouTube account linked up already.
Mike:But when you have linked your YouTube account, it gives you the ability
Mike:to start to create really specific type of audience specific on YouTube.
Mike:So when you go into your data segments, click on the plus symbol and
Mike:type in and click on YouTube users.
Mike:Now what this will do is you get to select your channel, and this is
Mike:just my channel here cuz it's just linked up to my, MCC account here.
Mike:But we'll have to link it.
Mike:Let me actually just pull into an actual channel here.
Mike:So this is the channel here.
Mike:And we're gonna have the, client subscribers and videos and you can
Mike:actually segment the users this way.
Mike:viewed any video from a channel.
Mike:Now this isn't someone else's, this is your channel.
Mike:So it says, viewed any video from a channel.
Mike:It's like, okay, well what's the channel?
Mike:My channel.
Mike:So you have to be able to link it up.
Mike:But if you say view, a certain video, you can say, Okay, in this
Mike:channel that is yours, which video?
Mike:So you can actually start to, if you're running ads, And you're gonna have
Mike:organic traffic to that video as well.
Mike:I can actually segment to a person that's actually seen of very specific video.
Mike:The nice part about this is you can actually say, viewed any
Mike:video as an ad from a channel.
Mike:So not if they organically ran across the video, but they had
Mike:to have been impressed by the ad.
Mike:First.
Mike:They had to have seen it.
Mike:When they say seen it, that means viewed, which means watch longer than 10 seconds.
Mike:Now five seconds, 10 seconds.
Mike:So if they watch more than 10 seconds, then that's a view, an engaged view, or
Mike:whatever it is on that video as an ad.
Mike:Well, this is really, really great if I wanna build my own sequence to say,
Mike:Hey, you're, I'm gonna take, Glen, now I'm gonna show Glen this ad first.
Mike:And now once he watches that, I'm gonna then put another video.
Mike:With an incentive, You know, we can start to build a own little mini funnel
Mike:inside of YouTube with our own videos, or even just the people that have
Mike:watched it on our channel organically.
Mike:We have a lot of organic channel views for us.
Mike:This is a great tool that we could use as well for solutions.
Mike:Eight.
Mike:There's viewed certain videos as an ad, so viewed any video as an
Mike:ad, used certain videos as an ad, subscribed to the channel, visited
Mike:our channel page, liked added any video from a channel to a playlist.
Mike:Or shared any video from a channel.
Mike:These are awesome, awesome insights.
Mike:If I'm like, Hey, that's a really cool product and I also think that
Mike:US is gonna love this product, then they say, Hey, check out this video.
Mike:I shared that video.
Mike:you can actually start to segment these out.
Mike:What's nice about this is I can say, Okay, viewed any video from a channel,
Mike:let's just call that one, and we select our YouTube channel, and then
Mike:the Prefill options, I could prefill with people for the last 30 days.
Mike:So now, boom, instantaneous.
Mike:I got 30 days worth of all video viewers on my channel, or I can start empty.
Mike:Either way it, you make it very specific, but then the membership duration, I
Mike:can keep a person in this audience for 540 days, so I can backfill 30 days.
Mike:So from essentially starting day one.
Mike:To 570 days this audience will be, live.
Mike:And then as soon as day 571 comes about the first day, those people
Mike:exit my subscription of this audience, the membership of it.
Mike:when you're talking about the YouTube remarketing this way here is an
Mike:excellent way to build an audience.
Mike:Now it's outside of you two though as well.
Mike:Think about this.
Mike:What if I said that if anybody did this, Viewed any video as an ad for my channel,
Mike:and I use this audience now on a, not an observation, but maybe a targeted audience
Mike:to my brand name in a search campaign.
Mike:So what am I doing?
Mike:I'm saying I'm pumping out a whole bunch of YouTube ads, and if anybody watched
Mike:that ad and then Googled my brand name, that person will be in that audience.
Mike:So I can see that this person saw my ad, then Google my brand name.
Mike:We're developing an attribution here.
Mike:So we can actually see those people that are actually, and it's a way for
Mike:us to say like, Okay, well, is YouTube working while we're using YouTube?
Mike:And yes, it's working, but we can also see if they have brand engagement
Mike:by Google and the brand name.
Mike:You can simply attach this as an observation audience to
Mike:the existing brand campaign.
Mike:Now there's no more additional Aspen.
Mike:No new campaign, no new work.
Mike:Now, what's nice about this is we can say, yes, I'm already running a brand campaign
Mike:and I'm running YouTube, and did you know that of the last 237 brand conversions,
Mike:117 of them saw our YouTube add?
Mike:That is so powerful, John, because we don't have any insight into
Mike:outbound video except for that really, whether it's working or not.
Mike:we would have to set up outbound video, then go into our existing
Mike:brand campaign and add an audience of People that viewed it a video ad.
Mike:which is this.
Mike:I guess.
Mike:And then we can show the clients, hey, our Upbound video is working
Mike:because here in branded audience here in Brand under Audiences, we
Mike:can see how many of the branded converters viewed a video ad first.
Mike:We can, even, if we wanted it could be a little bit more probably
Mike:accurate, rather than viewed any video as an ad from a channel.
Mike:Because sometimes these people, for whatever reason, those don't populate.
Mike:I don't know why I've had this glitch out a few times, but what actually works
Mike:better is viewed any video from a channel which they could seen an ad, and then
Mike:they might have just went to our YouTube channel on their own for solutions.
Mike:Hey, yeah, that's gonna happen because we spend three grand a day on YouTube.
Mike:People are gonna keep seeing our at or at, or.
Mike:they have a lot of videos that they go to YouTube.
Mike:If they type in youtube.com and go to our channel.
Mike:Now I have two points of conversions.
Mike:I can capture them on, viewed any video from a channel or viewed
Mike:any video as an add channel.
Mike:I can count those as two different audiences.
Mike:But I would include this one.
Mike:Yes, it could capture a person that already knew about them and
Mike:had already been to their channel.
Mike:Then Google the brand name.
Mike:That's okay, but we need to have a backup cuz for whatever reason,
Mike:this one, I don't know why glitches.
Mike:I've tried this once where I'm like, okay, in a week we should have an audience and
Mike:it just never made it over like five.
Mike:I don't know why, but it would not count them.
Mike:So this is a little bit buggy, but when it works, it works well.
Mike:So this is just something that I would say is, good way to identify this.
Mike:Onca, are you here?
Mike:Yes, I'm here.
Mike:we're only running one YouTube campaign and we only one brand, which is perfect.
Mike:Now there's not gonna be overlap cuz here's the bad part is anybody that clicks
Mike:on that YouTube ad may not Google the brand name and they may kind of skirt
Mike:past the brand campaign and just go brand themselves right into Performance Max.
Mike:So it kind of muddies it a little bit.
Mike:But it's a good lead indicator performance Max through a wrench
Mike:in all these old strategies here.
Mike:But if I'm running a brand campaign, Performance Max campaign, YouTube
Mike:campaign, YouTube engagement to Performance Max conversion, and brands
Mike:over here wondering what's going on, , no one's gonna show up in that audience.
Mike:So just know that there's gonna be a little bit of a.
Mike:Oddity.
Mike:But what is true though is I can build these audience and
Mike:then target them proactively.
Mike:Maybe I have a Performance Max campaign that is just using my data of all my
Mike:YouTube users and I wanna engage and offer to them wherever they may be.
Mike:Perfect Performance Max Campaign to the audience Signal, which is the people
Mike:that I built of my audience and go.
Mike:Could you um, using that strategy, John, from a brand perspective, if you
Mike:wanted to show a client that YouTube is actually getting brand conversions,
Mike:create an r ls a campaign, create ag groups with all those different YouTube
Mike:audiences and try that as an experiment.
Mike:Any conversions in that r l LSA campaign that's got all those YouTube audiences?
Mike:Boom.
Mike:There you go.
Mike:Yep.
Mike:Absolutely.
Mike:precise, When we start to dive into more YouTube driven
Mike:campaigns, this is not a glitch.

Mike:And now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Mike:Those YouTube bodies is, we, should set them up first as
Mike:if we could set 'em up first.
Mike:We can use them anywhere later on.
Mike:We can see how the audience grows.
Mike:I mean, it's free data development essentially.
Mike:And then Glen, we can attach a feed if we wanted to be like anybody that's
Mike:spending my channel view in a video as an ad, I can remark to them and
Mike:then put a product in front of them.
Mike:We can, start to attach those feeds to a really engaged user.
Mike:If I know that you've watched three of my videos as an ad, perfect.
Mike:I can probably start to engage you now with, with products, if I made commerce.
Mike:So we're talking about creative ways to scale commerce.
Mike:this is a really good way to prove concept, but also remark to those people
Mike:that we know we're engaging right now, the specific campaigns, the test side
Mike:performance max kind of boil down to.
Mike:GSP and display was not a really good idea.
Mike:So that one kind of covers that topic.
Mike:That's the different types of type of funnel creation types, so that
Mike:covers those two, which is basically at the end of the day YouTube.
Mike:But here's what's cool.
Mike:if I'm gonna be in my YouTube top of funnel campaign, here's what I mean.
Mike:Use this with a high degree of speculation and only upon client's approval.
Mike:But if I have a YouTube ad right here, I can develop a new YouTube ad.
Mike:I'm just grabbing.
Mike:And if I go into YouTube and I go into as an example, I can see if there's,
Mike:, Let's say this is someone that was like, Hey, this is an amazing product and
Mike:I love it and everyone should buy it.
Mike:oh my gosh, this is great because she's a content creator.
Mike:She's also probably an affiliate marketer who is trying to earn a
Mike:following of money for herself.
Mike:Well, I could take that video actually, and then run that
Mike:as an ad to my own website.
Mike:because I can use any YouTube video online that is public.
Mike:To YouTube.
Mike:This is completely fine.
Mike:Now what I cause an upset between, There's probably something behind the
Mike:scenes there that I can simply just grab.
Mike:We can also put, our call to actions and our products there so we can have a feed.
Mike:We put products in there, everything can be great.
Mike:We can say, Hey, this video as a person that is reviewing our Heatless
Mike:hair curls, and I'm gonna put my Heatless hair curls products down here.
Mike:Awesome.
Mike:But.
Mike:Make sure that your client knows it's not their video and it's
Mike:driving traffic to themselves.
Mike:So that's the bad part.
Mike:Don't just do this, get it cleared by the, client first.
Mike:what the hell was that?
Mike:I don't know.
Mike:I skipped it too fast.
Mike:I didn't even hear it.
Mike:I tried to mute it cuz it blasted my ear while I was talking, so
Mike:it wasn't even paying attention.
Mike:But that is how you use essentially curated content.
Mike:With other people's YouTube ads.
Mike:You can use them.
Mike:Let your client know a lot of times for like, Holy crap, I
Mike:didn't know you could do that.
Mike:Yeah, could we use the every video?
Mike:That's great.
Mike:I'll contact them and ask him if I can use it.
Mike:And that's a really, really easy way to get buy in from a client
Mike:that may not want to run YouTube.
