I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for....

I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.

Buying views outside YouTube, Google and face book, buying views is what is happening with all these “Invalid Views” epidemic on YouTube. The best way to grow is to let it happen naturally. Never ever pay for easy views. Invalid views will take years to work itself out of your analytics, I did it 3 years ago for a few months and only now an I ranking for my niches: gaming and movie reviews. Don’t be tempted, it took almost 2 years for it to run its course.

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!

Interesting from start to end! Thank you for helping other creators man🙌

Bit old but I assume I just got recommended this video and I live in Estonia. I don't know if you have advertised this video but there is a chance it somewhat carries over to other videos as well since I have never heard of you. I would say I rarely ever click on the ads in YouTube, mostly by accident. This was a very interesting watch, nice structure, good information, subscribed!

Did a million people watch this video??? Hmmm I wonder 🤔 😅

Probably worth mentioning the caveat on YT promotion traffic. "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a promotion do not contribute towards YouTube Partner Program eligibility."

Should mention: "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a Promotion do not contribute towards YouTube Partner Program eligibility." AKA you can't just buy your way to YouTube's monetisation requirements with the YT Promotions or Google Ads. EDIT: I've done some testing on a brand new, unmonetised channel, and it seems like YouTube are lying. Despite their official disclaimer, right now [November, 2023] the subscribers you get through these methods DO count towards the YPP requirements. Do what you will with that information...

Helpful video, especially for new YouTubers. Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome vid, good to see someone is testing methods to grow like this. It's tough to get genuine engagement these days. I've shifted towards making my content and videos better, and famegrowers have been a big help, especially with monetization. I'm now a YouTube partner and can finally make some cash from my passion.

Great video man!! The commitment you had for this video is insane!! Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and loving them. Keep up the grind brotha!

Amazing video man. Thanks so much for doing all that work.

Wow! Great video. Kuddos for putting so much effort into making it.

Great information! Very helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Interesting experiment! It's eye-opening to see the detailed breakdown of costs and analytics for buying YouTube views. The targeted instream ads seem like a smart approach for attracting a higher quality audience despite the higher cost. The infeed ads reducing friction makes sense, but it comes at a price. Overall, great insights into the world of view buying methods.

I bought the YT Promotion for my first video, I was on 121 subscribers. I put 25€ for budget and let it run for 2 weeks. Ended 1st of oct 2023. YT says that I got 2,2k views and 244 subscribers through that promotion. But I actually gained a lot more subscribers and am now on 592 which means I actually gained around 470 subscribers in that 2 week period. While it sounds great, getting all these subs, but it actually doesnt make you feel good and accomplished. Mixed feelings with that. Great video explaining all that!

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you talked about in-feed ads, they're my favorite type to run usually.

Excellently laid out a, for new CCs, complex issue in a clear and concise manner. Looking forward to peruse ur other content. Newly subbed and big 👍
