facebook video ads

Your title says Facebook but your question says Youtube...?

Not sure price of youtube...im looking to start some there...but I have been running Facebook ads alot recently. They are doing extremely well in ecommerce.

It really depends on the type of video you are promoting. The more viral the less your cost will be. I have had video ads down to .0001 per view. What I do with video ads is use them to build a custom audience from the views. I then will do a website conversion ad to the custom audience. You can also do a retargeting ad. 30 seconds is a good length. Facebook doesn't give anything for free. You always pay for something whether it be views or clicks.

First off, Facebook counts a video view after 3 seconds of a user viewing the ad. This means someone can be scrolling on the video watch for three seconds and then continue scrolling. I'm sure you see how this could add up very quickly

Within CPM campaigns, it doesn't matter if they watch it for 15 seconds or 30 seconds, that's still a view. However, the more views you get, the lower the cost per CPM. This is because you bring in more revenue to Facebook at when you have more views, even though you are getting charged less.

Ex: Let's say you have 1,000 views and Facebook charges you .10 cents a view (these numbers are made up, hopefully you get the point though). That brings you to $100 per CPM. However, let's say you bring in 5,000 views and Facebook charges you .05 cents per view (again made up numbers). Your total cost comes out to $250 or $50 per CPM. Facebook is making more off the person bringing in 5,000, even at a way lower CPM!

So, even if no one clicks on your ad, you are still paying for views...3 second views.

The key here is to make relevant ads to YOUR audience!

Also, it's best to use CPM campaigns for brand awareness rather than for an offer.

Good luck buddy!

U buy view or u buy click to ads? Those are very different. If u buy click to ads, u have to runs ads (run your post) in gg or ins
