Step 1: Run ads on various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok (BUT NOT YOUTUBE) for a short attention grab video (separate video not on YouTube yet), use very precise targeting settings for your video and niche so that every view it brings will have the highest retention possible and interest in the niche.

Step 2: Monitor and optimize your ad to make sure viewers are hooked on the topic and open your YouTube video link to watch whatever it is you promised

Step 3: This will supercharge your viewer engagement and retention rates. By forcing highly interested viewers onto your video, YouTube will favor and push your video across the platform harder than it otherwise would have with just pure organic traffic. This method will increase your ranking powers significantly. You will also enjoy the direct ROI from the ads traffic in addition to a stronger long term rank. This strategy has multiplied my ROI substantially for YouTube.
