    How to create YouTube videos that convert with Tom Breeze

    If you're not promoting your videos with ads on YouTube, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to reach your target audience.

    While organic views and shares can certainly help your videos gain traction, promoting your content with ads on YouTube allows you to reach a highly targeted audience and increase your visibility in a competitive online space.

    Viewers tend to view brands that advertise on YouTube as serious and trustworthy. Similar to seeing ads during the Superbowl, it creates a mental shortcut that implies the brand is successful and has quality products. Videos on YouTube are also highly memorable and can significantly impact viewers, making it a platform that rivals no other.

    In this episode, I speak with Tom Breeze, a YouTube Ad expert who offers a unique perspective on the types of video content you should create and promote. 

    Tom shares his seven-step process for consistently producing high-converting video ads that aim to inform and sell simultaneously. Through the ADUCATE framework, he outlines his system for creating educational video ads.

    1. Aim
    2. Difficulty
    3. Understanding
    4. Credibility
    5. Action Plan
    6. Trust
    7. Exit
