To hold their target audience, companies place unobtrusive ads on the channels of video creators with large viewer and subscriber counts.

As usual, we arranged the article in the form of a convenient table of contents:

Introduction

The demand for online advertising grows from year to year, meaning that many existing and emerging brands, products or services need to be presented to a large audience and advertising online. Once the demand for such services is growing, it allows this market and industry to develop more dynamically and meet the demand of advertisers for tools that help in the search, selection and organization of advertising on Youtube.

That is why the main task of the Advertising Exchange on Youtube is the combination of advertisers and top influencers who can correctly and effectively present your product to their viewers and target audience. Such an exchange greatly facilitates the search for a relevant platform for advertising. But let’s start in order and first figure out the general concepts.

Advertising on Youtube and its benefits

Using the new opportunities offered by the world’s largest video hosting, you can increase the reach of your target audience, subscribers of different authors’ channels, and also collect “live” feedback about your product or service. On the pages of this soc. network, you will find channels and platforms of influencers of any size: from real stars, known in the network as ironic, cognitive, philosophical or analytical clips, to very few famous authors who talk about sometimes incomprehensible things.

The standard procedure for finding a platform for advertising is a very simple one: the advertiser enters into the search the keyword he wants, and by the results a list with the names and links to the video channels is being formed. In the future, such a list will help to determine the future partner who will best cope with the advertising task set for him.

In this case, the advertiser will be able to:

  • See the number of videos on the influencer’s channel.

  • See the number of views of each video on the channel.

  • Fulfill the forecast of audience coverage, focusing on the popularity of the channel in the network.

Seems to be enough? But not everything is so great in this case. The main disadvantages of direct work through Youtube interface (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube) are the following factors:

  • Inconvenient interface. You will not be able to search, select and filter video creators by topic, number of subscribers. This greatly complicates the formation of a list of potential platforms.

  • Absence of a guarantor. Influencers, in most cases, take 100% prepayment after receiving which can … disappear (due to age and low responsibility).

  • Lack of advanced tools. Communication via Skype, WhatsApp, Viber. Payment via Webmoney and plastic cards, no marketing reporting and closing documents – all of this is faced by advertisers who decided to work with influencers directly and literally flailing between tabs and applications.

  • Not to mention the main thing – the tools of analytics and metrics, according to which any marketer evaluates the effectiveness of any advertising placements.

As you can see, the list and the arguments contained in it are very serious, considering the fact that an advertiser pays for any mistake (including an influencer). To make the processes of working with video creators more effective, various platform-exchanges are being created that help automating the mechanism of interaction and placement of such advertising.

Types of exchanges on Youtube and their features

Exchanges of advertising on Youtube are websites where advertisers who want to advertise in this network, and influencers looking for additional earnings on Youtube, can contact each other. This format expands the available advertising opportunities and provides more flexible tools for developing and managing it. Let’s highlight the most interesting of them:

  • Automation of the search and selection of channels through built-in filters and sorting tools.

  • Automation of the process of searching and advertising when an advertiser creates a task and makes it available to all influencers who can respond to it.

  • Platform serves as a guarantor, when the money for advertising placement is “frozen” on the account of the system and only after the advertiser accepts the result of the work transferred into the account of the influencer.

The most famous exchanges, for example, such as Famebit, Izea, EPICSTARS, offer these and other tools, as well as a more transparent and advantageous price / quality ratio and the ability to use one or another type of visual advertising. All transactions on the official exchange are protected, and payment is made after receipt of the result.

Using statistics that automatically gathers the platform, you can estimate the number of offers from influencers, popularity of their channels and the availability of the target audience.

Registration on such exchange allows:

  • Pick up the right influencer with the desired target audience.

  • With the help of the system’s hints to formulate a thoughtful task.

  • Place pre-roll videos (10-15 seconds) to deliver brief and capacious information about your product. Advantages of this method are that the product is advertised by the blog owner, who enjoys the confidence and popularity of their audience.

  • You can also use the layout format of a full-fledged branded video clip in which the influencer skillfully demonstrates the benefits of the product. Youtube advertising platform allows advertisers to communicate directly with influencers to discuss all the necessary details.

  • Place a link to the page of your online store or resource in the description of the video.

  • Do it all in one tab of the browser.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that the format of placing ads via YouTube exchange is the most effective way of interacting with influencers: the selection process is much faster, and due to the automated statistics collected by the platform, the selection of channels will be more qualitative, which will increase effectiveness of advertising placements.
