If something is not covered here, write to us — answers come from the people who run the campaigns.
How fast does delivery start?
+
Most campaigns go live within a few hours of payment and deliver every day of the week rather than all at once.
Where do the views come from?
+
Google's advertising network — in-stream, in-feed and Shorts placements shown to viewers who match the audience you picked.
Do these count as real YouTube views?
+
Yes. They appear in your public view count and in YouTube Analytics with full watch-time data, and they count towards monetisation watch hours.
Will promotion hurt my channel?
+
No. Advertising is a product YouTube sells. Running ads on your own content is what the platform is built for.
Will this help my channel long term?
+
Ad-driven viewers watch, subscribe and come back, which is the signal the recommendation system rewards. Organic views often keep rising after a campaign ends.
What does it cost?
+
From $4.00 per 1,000 views for Shorts worldwide to $44.00 per 1,000 for channel growth in top-tier countries. The minimum weekly budget is $29, with volume bonuses from $500 a week.
Why does the price change by country?
+
Every view is won in an ad auction, and auctions are regional. Views in the US, UK, Canada or Australia cost roughly 2.2× what the same views cost at worldwide targeting.
Can I promote music?
+
Yes. Tracks, official videos and artist channels all work, with targeting built around comparable artists and genres rather than keywords.
Can I change the budget later?
+
Any time. Add budget and the projected views rise at the same rate, or pause the campaign from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
+
Delivery stops and the unspent part of your budget returns to your wallet. Views already delivered are charged for.
How do I pay?
+
Card or cryptocurrency. You can also load a wallet balance once and run campaigns straight from it.
Do you need my channel password?
+
Never. We only need the public link to the video, Short or channel you want promoted.
Which languages does support speak?
+
English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French.
