How to Demonstrate Value with YouTube Ads

Are you worried about what you’re going to say in your YouTube ads, or how are you going to shoot it to make it look cool? If you are, worry not. Today, we’re going to show you exactly how to build trust with your ideal customer, demonstrate the value of your offer (in ad), and make sales. Anyone can do this and shoot a successful YouTube ad, and today we’re going to show you how.

A lot of big brands have high-quality productions. They have fancy sets that make the video look really spiffy and cool, and they have great talent acting in it. But the truth is you don’t need all the fancy equipment in order to shoot a successful ad. There’s a specific formula you need to follow that builds trust with your viewers, and we’ll go over that step-by-step. I’m showing you right now today that you can shoot this on anything. This is being shot on an iPhone. It can be done on a very minimal budget if that’s all you have. You can use simple cameras too, but I’m just showing that this can be done on an iPhone.

Grab Viewer’s Attention

The first thing that you’re going to want to do is grab your viewer’s attention, and to do that, you got to say something that takes about five seconds that piques their interest and makes them think about a problem that they have. 

To get anyone to listen to you in your YouTube ad, you have to grab their attention in the first few seconds.

Relate to your Customer’s Problem

What you want to do is you want to relate to a common problem that your ideal customer has. Before you start doing your ad, you’re going to want to think about what an issue that they’re experiencing is and how can you grab their attention in as few words as possible. 

Show you Feel their Pain

Once you do that, and they’re listening to you, the next thing you want to do is show them that you feel their pain, so that way you’re building trust with your viewer. And when you build that trust, they’re going to want to listen to you. Once you have that trust, you go ahead, and you pitch what the value of your offer is.

Pitch the Value of your Offer

Let’s say if you have a software, and it’s going to help save customers time and money if they use it, then you can go ahead and tell them what the value of your offer is. 

Before they buy, your prospective customer’s need to know that your offer is going to add value to their lives.

Extend a Call to Action

Then you’re going to want to go ahead and extend a call to action. That call to action is going to tell your ideal customer where they can find the solution to that problem that you discussed with them earlier. Once they go there, they might become a lead. They might become a buyer. And you have had a successful ad. If they bounce, if they don’t follow through, then that is where you might want to try retargeting, remarketing. We have other posts about that, which we’ll link to below on this one, and you can check those out and figure out how that can be another benefit to obtaining more customers with your ads.
