On this episode we talk about:

Using YouTube’s new Boost feature wisely for channel growth

How to test and amplify top-performing videos for smart channel scaling
Top 3 Takeaways
Boosting videos is powerful—when you use in-feed ads, not skippable in-stream ads.
YouTube’s algorithm prioritizes real watch time and retention—not fake views or subscriber spikes.
Paid advertising should amplify content that’s already performing, not cover up weak videos or content gaps.
Notable Quotes
“The problem isn’t running ads—it’s using them the wrong way.”
“If your content is weak, no amount of paid exposure will make it last—it actually kills your watch time.”
“YouTube’s Boost feature just validates what we’ve known: authentic promotion supports real growth.”
