Course Description
Add video marketing boosted by video ads to your marketing. Set up video ads today and run effective and highly-converting ads to drive immediate traffic and sales!
Video ads are known to have some of the highest conversions of all the ads out there. That is because you can literally talk to your audience, become a little bit personable with them, and gain more trust than you would with a basic text based ad.
In this course I teach you how to create your video ad, and walk you literally step by step in the setup process for your first ad.
As I walk you through the setup process for your first ad, I explain all the elements of the ad that you will need to fill out in your ad. And when you finish the course, you can launch your first ad and begin observing results.
WHY VIDEO ADS ARE SO POWERFUL
If you can spend a dollar in the ads, and get a bigger amount of sales back, then you can increase your spending to get more and more profitable sales. And as you increase sales more and more, you will naturally grow your business more and more. So if you get the ads profitable, they can become the biggest growth channel for your business.
Note about the course: since I walk you through how I make my own ad, I will naturally show you an ad. I am not trying to sell you anything in my ad. It just happens to be the example of my own ad that I am using, and that is why I am showing it. There is no promotion in the course.
Go ahead, sign up for this video marketing course, and let's get you experimenting with your first YouTube ads today!

Hate to leave a low review but this isn't a course on youtube ads, Only real thing he went through was setting up the campaign which a simple youtube video can explain. I was hoping for more indepth knowledge
By Daniel Haigh on 8/20/2022
Good course overall. The speaker should work on their pacing. They would speak slowly and concisely at one point, only to race through the next sentence or two incredibly quickly. That made it hard to focus. The content was structured decently well. I would have liked to see more examples and practical application.
By S D on 7/30/2020
The course is boring, repetitive and very obvious. The tone of instructors voice is boring, there are no great insights or tips tricks, its just showing something and talking about it for long period of time. Other digital marketing courses are lot more engaging.
By Jason Solomon on 2/13/2019
I have done some on-camera video marketing and if I knew what Alex had taught it would've helped tremendously. Now I'm able to use this knowledge not only with my own campaigns but those of my clients. Great course Alex!!
By Gideon Meintjes on 1/7/2019
After completion, I honestly did learn a lot! Most of this I didn't know so it was all pretty new to me. At first it seemed he jumps around like crazy, and didn't make sense, but later everything got together in my mind and makes sense now. I guess I will go back to some lectures and re-visit as needed. Thanks. Great course!
By Olivia B on 12/24/2018
