Bitcoin Forum

I have heard a lot about spreading then news about Bitcoin. I still think that social media is the answer to that. I mean Facebook already has a seventh of the world’s population. Youtube is also growing fast. I also know that many people in this forum have Youtube channels. I am wondering if we can get any ads relating to Bitcoin on the videos that they post. Is it possible?

If it is, I would like to have this thread dedicated to ads that can be put on youtube. Let others know about this wonderful cryptocurrency.

:)

Only someone who has excessive amount of money would spend such money to help the bitcoin community. Even without the Youtube advertising, Bitcoin will grow and grow because people will eventually come to talk about Bitcoin. I also notice that the advertisements on Youtube are all from huge companies which is basically a sign that small companies can't afford to put advertisements on Youtube.

The one problem is - bitcoin is decentralized monetary system and it is not owned by anyone in particular.
If bitcoin was a company like PayPal we would see Bitcoin commercials and ads everywhere on internet, press, TV.
But who will pay for Bitcoin ads? Bitcoin Foundation? You or me? I don't think so.

The best answer for me, because bitcoin is too vague, about the creator,companies or foundation and other elements are having relationships with the background of bitcoin and there is no parties is handle bitcoin at this time.

This is exactly the answer. You can close the thread now! Lol.

Correct. That is why bitcoin cannot get popular in the outside world because it lacks some advertisement.
However, if a private company uses bitcoin, they can somehow promote their product and bitcoin so that they can get more customers.

most of the businesses that run on bitcoin will usually advertise in places that have the most bitcoin users like forums that are related to cryptocurreneis. and one of the biggest places is here on this forum in form of forum ads and also signature campaigns.

and as for bitcoin itself, it is too expensive for individuals to advertise bitcoin on youtube!

It is good idea making ads on YouTube but it is must services who can take income are like markets,cloud mining services and another service. Because if we just make ads about bitcoin only, we can not getting profit on there.

He will never close the thread and let's see this thread will become a new farm field for the spammer. LOL

Implementing about the advertisement of bitcoin we can considering if bitcoin is already advertise into some of form advertise, it's not about via online advertising but bitcoin is already advertising with their users, some project is advertising their project and put bitcoin into their advertise and another from that, but it's about a lot of people in the community it's not wanna gonna for using a new method in their life and already choosing their comfortable payment. maybe that is true if bitcoin is managing by companies will very usefull on their advertisement thing.

Chances are people are going to think that Bitcoin is a business if anything, assuming you have a decent ad created for it. It might get a few people interested, however I don't think that I've ever bought a product brought forwards by a Youtube ad, and typically I don't go and research them. People are more often interested in skipping the ad than they are interested in the ad itself.

Might be a good idea, but I personally am not interested.

if you want to advertise about "bitcoin" itself you can start a youtube channel yourself, why wait for others to do it. since you have the idea then do it yourself. go to some of those youtube channels and see what they are doing to learn it and then start one yourself talking about bitcoin and introducing it.

There are companies in the Bitcoin scene, who would benefit a lot from Ad's in mainstream social media. They have a marketting budget, and most of them write that off as a expense for TAX purposes. The funding for this, is not going to be a problem, but I would rather invest that money into a cool video that can be placed on Youtube.  Get something funny that would go viral. ^smile^

What type of ads are you talking about?

Paid advertising or just people with channels to submit ads for free?

Yes,this is possible,but some people might promote some bitcoin ponzi/cloud mining scams.

I think the responsibility for this is lying with the bitcoin companies. They are the ones that are relying on new customers, as well as have a marketing budget.

I'm not sure how effective youtube would be, though it will target people that are interested in the investment field due to targeted ads.

But I guess most people that would consider getting in bitcoin are running adblockers, reducing the effect of the ads again.

That would be a great idea because the best way to encourage or make people interested with bitcoins is through advertisements.  But the question would be who would make the advertisement?  You could do the video of bitcoin and then post here the link to gather more views.  If we all here make it like a million views then you could earn through videos from youtube.  And you could also put the google adsense to your video so you will be paid everytime people watched the bitcoin videos.

Actually bitcoin is not run by a foundation or company so i dont think there will be any rich guy who just like to spend few hundreds just to promote bitcoin. You can see lots of bitcoin service related ads running in youtube but never seen ads just to promote what bitcoin is.

For something like this, we would need a community movement. Because what's the incentive for the advertiser? The World these days is so money-minded. We need a bitcoin charity or something.

It is good that you are advertising about bitcoin , but it is already getting published on so many sites , but you may need to do it in another way like which no one has done it earlier about bitcoin , probably adding the very good info ,how exactly it is benefiting etc.

we could organize a fundraiser in the forum where you can donate. and set a deadline and some goals. like this amount will be enough to pay for a billboard, this amount will pay for youtube or national tv and if we get enough we could air a superbowl commercial.     

exactly, who will do that?
however there are many company that related with bitcoin, let say coinbase, purse.io or other but untill this day i never seen them advertised their product or their service on youtube, i think they just promote their service to bitcoin comunity, they will get more benefit than  promote to those who don't know anything about bitcoin.

Eventually the day will come when some are confident enough to do this. If you think about the amount of people aware of bitcoin comparing today to lets say 2010 or before, the number has increased exponentially. In time people will start to become aware of it and it will increase as time goes by. Just give it some time and let things work themselves out they way they should. You never know, maybe someday someone with enough money will come around and try to spread the word a bit more, but there's got to be some sort of benefit for this person as well or that is unlikely to happen.

maybe we can help the community to growing fast, but maybe we need help from the community too.
fund us some btc to start working with the "growing" jobs.

if you mean something like facebook pages about bitcoin, twitter accounts tweeting about bitcoin, or youtube channels having some bitcoin related videos like what bitcoin is or how to create a wallet, buy bitcoin , and all that. then there are already many of them available and spreading the news about bitcoin so to speak.

but if you mean the ads on youtube (google adsense I believe is what its called) that is going to cost a lot of money to advertise that way.

It's a great idea, unfortunately putting ads on YouTube costs money and I don't think we can realistically expect members of the community to pay for them. However there is no reason why for people who post videos on YouTube, can't promote Bitcoin to their viewers on their own. And it doesn't have to be an active/aggressive campaign either, subtle promotion like wearing a Bitcoin T-shirt or having Bitcoin paraphernalia in the background can work great too I think.

What I know from youtube. they usually serve ads from google adsense. so to place an bitcoin related ads you need to go to adword first..
BTW for your kind information I saw there are some bitcoin related ads shown in youtube. those were about to bitcoin related forex exchanges..

There is no problem in sharing the good things to others about in bitcoin. But we shouldn't forget the bitcoin is a kind of decentralized and peer to peer currency, That none of us neither the banks, or the government cannot control it.

I presume you mean those annoying ads that you are forced to watch on youtube before a video you actually want to watch.

The problem is I think those adverts probably cost a lot to do. Who from the bitcoin community is willing to pay, probably nobody I guess.

yes its possible to get ads relating to bitcoin but its depend on your keyword. youtube integrated with google adwords and use the right keyword to server the right ads in your youtube channels. so you should search the right keyword that related to your channels and your video.

regarding from your post, and the advertising of bitcoin is already putting in the youtube but it's just and additional things in the advertisement because i never see the ads is fully related with bitcoin in this time and especially in the common site.

that would be great more and more people will know bitcoin and hopefully they will use it they are also bitcoin gamblers in youtube like adam guerez and some non popular

I think if bitcoin related companies promote themselves with ads,that will promote the bitcoin indirectly.I zaw an android wallet app running its ads on adsense and that made lots of people click it in curiosity.This way they also get to learn about bitcoin

Yes social media is a great way to spread the word about bitcoin and crypto-currency all over the world and showing ads on YouTube is one great way.But who will do it,why would any one will spend that much huge money to spread word about bitcoin,no one controls it.Just waste alot of money just to let people know about bitcoins,no one will do it.

I have never seen a Bitcoin a on Youtube before is this news or has this been around for a linger time?
Either way this is good for Bitcoin because it will get allot of people to notice Bitcoin.

I don't think someone will spend money to advertise the bitcoin(why someone will do this? speculation price?lol), maybe they can advertise their sites related to bitcoin and bring more people to this scenario     
Maybe articles and news can bring more people to join us!

Bitcoin and ads for me does not go well. Why? Because when you search in youtube BTC is associated mostly as a currency for HYIPs, which in most youtube watchers that are not open minded as others will immediately think BTC as a bad thing. But yes a good BTC advertisement explaining what it is will clear a lot of minds about Bitcoin in general. Also I don't think BTC needs a lot more promotion as BTC can do it for itself, thousands of faucet sites are available, many wallets for different countries are also available. BTC does not need promotion if people wants to earn money their is a strong chance they will stumble with BTC.

To advertise directly the bitcoin then it should be someone from the bitcoin founder (which is unknown) then the bitcoin devs but I don't think that they are interested in this, so nobody will advertise for something that they will not get any profit, but those companies that operate and accepts bitcoin these can advertise in YouTube.

The Bitcoin Foundation was suppose to do these kinds of things, with funding generated from donations and sponsorship, but they spend that budget

on salaries and travel expenses to arrange public discussions. Now they are bankrupt and you do not see anything they do for the community. The

community will now have to do the marketing and promotion themselves, or this experiment will stagnate.  ::)

If you have funds it is good idea to advertise bitcoin in youtube.. but i think you need a lots of budget to invest to advertise it in youtube..
Youtube is one of the largest traffic these year. and i  think it can help to promote bitcoin there..

It is Only Possible If Someone made A Service Which Will Pay you To Place Bitcoin Ads in Your Videos....
Or it is Possible If Bitcoin Ad Network Owners Will Start Advertising on YouTube....

I only know about AdSense in YouTube and ut is not bitcoin payment it is dollar. If you want bitcoin advertisement payment you need to create a website that has contain cpm bitcoin advertisement. You can also do faucet site as your niche here so that many will view on your website and get more traffic.

The thing is that bitcoin is not backed by anyone. The idea of advertising on YouTube is tempting, but expensive. We will all need to chip in to advertise like this. Simply saying "advertise so your bitcoin will be worth more in the future" is simply not enough.

i cant see why you couldnt put an ad on youtube if you pay the right money, but who would fund it or where you thinking of doing it yourself?

They wasted their potential. Some members sullied their name and and because of that BF become scandalous entity.
Plus, instead on focusing their efforts on politics and promotion Bitcoin Foundation opted to focus on development more.

you can make a youtube video instead and it can be about bitcoin and advertise it that way.

in this method everything will be free, the making of video will only take some time but then you can upload it to youtube and show it for free.

I haven't noticed any advertisements while relaying YouTube and if bitcoin become centralised means people who adopt bitcoin in their business they will give a advertisement in YouTube or any channel.

Well, maybe the Bitcoin-related companies would do it. Such as BitPay, they can afford the advertisement for promoting themselves. If we can just ask those companies to place and ad about Bitcoin, then it would be possible. The ad can contain some parts to promote the companies themselves, but the main idea of the ad is still for Introducing Bitcoin.

Well advertisement of Bitcoin is might be not possible as who will pay for advertisements is the main issue. But if user have any services related to bitcoin can make advertisements on not just youtube but on other advertising platforms to reach to mass audience as well as targeted audience.

Who will do this. Advertising is very expensive if you are talking about YT.. the only ad I will watch of YT is the 30 sec unskipabke ad and I'm just taking a guess here that's gotta be costly. Now why would someone just advertise bitcoin as a whole, anyone would see their profit and maybe advertise their website or something at most.

Maybe the answer would not be to make ads for bitcoin as a whole, but to make ads for companies that work with bitcoin.
An exchange for example. It would be in their interest to advertise, and you can not advertise for a bitcoin company unless you advertise for bitcoin itself.
Of course, the company should be some kind of legit, so no cloudmining or ponzi stuff.

Making ads for companies that use Bitcoin and emphasizing that they use bitcoin (namely saying discounts are offered) would be far better than just talking about this new currency sort of thing that people would have to go out and figure out what it does. While people typically don't really care about advertisements and ignore them, telling them they can save money is always a big plus for a majority of people. and something that should be included.

If someone have a service that accepts bitcoins, or run some casino, or anything its much better option to invest in signature campaign here then in YouTube adds. Its just my opinion, here everyone use bitcoins or alt coins, their advertise is pointed I right direction.
With YouTube situation is different, people there don't know about bitcoins, just community that means, people here can invest in bitcoin promotion there. Gather group, find recourses and make some video that everyone of us here share there.

I havent seen an ad in Youtube that is related in Bitcoin but I have seen the Bitcoin documentary in iflix ready for download or streaming which really surprissed me that they added that movie/documentary in their list. Its just odd that iflix thinks that theres someone outhere interested with this documentary.

It is not the case for Youtube ads. Ad Sense is one of the most brilliant advertisers as it categorizes its ads depending on the video. Ever think of why you type "Los Angeles Lakers" and after that it will show Lakers products or even just type the brand of the car and it will show you an ad for that brand with payment schemes. That's how youtube ads works as well. But even though it categorizes ads BTC won't benefit from ads as I don't think promoting a currency can help its value rise.

Maybe some sites like blockchain and others can advertise while they advertise bitcoins and how it work they can at the end put an introduction to their site, show users like how they can crate a wallet and how easy it is to send bitcoins to others and all.

People who are running YouTube channels dedicated to Bitcoin do not control what kind of ads can show up during their videos that's up to Google themselves to decide. Of course if there are Bitcoin companies that are paying for ads to show up on YT channels sporting the Bitcoin tags and such the chances are higher that their ads will show up more often. Just remember that Bitcoin companies are paying for the ads and the YouTubers are only running them randomly.

We know there is a lot who want to that but who will pay. It is not that easy to do. It is just easy to say. Money circulates in this world so it will be money also that will provide for that to happen.

If you mean the ads that appear on youtube, then you cannot do anything about that. It's google's adsense program that sells the advertisements to people, you cannot choose that a certain advertisement is about bitcoin as far as I know.

Yeah your right if you advertise and you only put keywords in adwords as bitcoin people who are searching about bitcoin can only seen that ads..
If there is a sponsor that can afford to advertise it in youtube they should ask for google to advertise bitcoin in all country and keywords..

Exactly, giving ads on social networks would not be a problem nor the problem of making the ads would occur but the main thing is the funds for advertising, if someone is willing to pay for that then it is good to go but i don't think anyone would like to spend their money for this.

Yeah that's more plausible. But the thing is most of the bitcoin companies are small time none of it too huge to go on advertising on YouTube, yeah I have seen few( actually alot) of google ads from bitcoin companies but Google banner ads are cheap and the again if a company makes a ad would it target the new users or just the existing users because that's more better for them.

I don't know much about that foundation but if they are a part of such foundation and they get good collection from donations then they must work for something constructive,  wasting money to make public discussions is not the best idea IMHO.

Well, there are a lot of money making videos on youtube and ads can be shown on there and some sites can promote the ad and sponsor it given that they will also get popularized, people always click ads even if the conversion is slow or very small, we have to be positive to promote something mate and you don't seem positive at all.

Why are some people so obsessed with doing advertising for Bitcoin? I don't think that Bitcoin needs such kind of marketing. In fact it can even have a negative impact on Bitcoin adoption if people are persuaded to use Bitcoin who are not ready for it. Not everyone has the competence to use Bitcoin securely in its current form. Bitcoin might even be perceived as a company that wants to sell a new payment service. Regaining trust after failing to meet inflated expectations is extremely hard...

The best form of advertising is organic Bitcoin growth. Instead of wasting funds to buy advertisements, offer goods and services for sale in Bitcoin. Buy items you need from other people who accept Bitcoin (without fiat conversion). This way the Bitcoin economy will grow and with it its attractiveness. More and more people will hear about it and will eventually start to use it, if they see an advantage (for example buying an item from overseas).

ya.ya.yo!

But for you know, whether at the first time bitcoin is born into the world and you ever see about bitcoin is related to ads? the people is just wanna for advertising about bitcoin I can say that is a just ambitious person, because until I reading the story of bitcoin and until this time I joining in this forum with a lot of people in the worldwide. the bitcoin just spreading for naturally.

I don't see why a "currency" would be advertised on youtube to be honest..

What I can see though, is a bitcoin site like a bitcoin gambling site or whatever, can be advertised on youtube videos that are about bitcoins or cryptocurrency.

That Is a good news. bitcoin dissemination must be good, it can make so many people come to invest in bitcoin. also bitcoin will be the part of international currency. i was seen bitcoin advertisrment in bbm yesterday.

Well I think there are certain restriction youtube is implementing for the ads they are going to show for the viewers. But this is going to be a good thing if you are going to advertise to youtube.

And even you are not going to advertise, you can use youtube for promoting bitcoins by creating your own informational videos about bitcoin.

And as well as tutorials for newbies on how to start bitcoin.

Now a day bitcoin is getting popularity. I had seen ads on many website which is not related to bitcoin even in local website also i had seen ads. But since I am not a good youtube user so till now i haven't encountered bitcoin ads on the site.

First of all, i know about the bitcoin in YouTube, i saw some video and i search about it, than i know about it, and before it i didn't know, what is it actually Bitcoin? even i didn't know about any crypto currency, and in the publicity of the bitcoin YouTube is a good way to promote the bitcoin.
If we want to promote the bitcoin in the other countries which majority people don't know about it, than we should do more ads of bitcoin in YouTube.

That's it, we don't need to place an ad on YouTube. We just need to make a good quality video about Bitcoin that will be trending so all people in the world will see it. Or we can also make some series video about Bitcoin that will be upload consistently once a week or twice a week so it will always get a viewers.

Great, that would be a great idea. Having a series video updated and uploaded  weekly on youtube is so nice. You might gain a follower there. Some are promoting bitcoin as an alternative payment to outsourcing project. Its cheap and flexible to send payment on this and secured too. Its gaining more attention nowadays on youtube, look at the comment section..More and more are joining the bandwagon.

For sure this is going to be another way to get some good profit with youtube. I will going to give an idea guys since you have already have ideas of creating that bitcoin videos.

I would like to add to you that you can do to 'monetize' that especially when you are going to have a lot of viewers you are going to get another ads from your video.

And you are going to earn $ with it.

You might want to make a power point presentation about bitcoins.  And then if you have a youtube account, you can post it there.  Try to inform us and your friends of course so that we could view it.  If it generate many views then you tube will give you some money or you could try to put some adsense on it.  It will not only gives awareness to people about bitcoin but you would have an income through it.

I agree with you, Bitcoin need all these exposures and being presented to people in a positive way is important especially in countries where there is little or no exposure to cryptocurrencies

I think bitcoin ads in general in more places would be a cool idea. But nowadays not many people see ads online anymore cause of ad block. But still older generations need more knowledge of bitcoin and they usually don't use adblock etc so I think this would be a great idea actually.

Youtube is one of the biggest companys on the internet allot of ads are on youtube and they are paying allot of money to them because allot of users are seeing it also.

i think when you visit on youtube and make a search with keyword "bitcoin" there will be a video that showing not just bitcoin gambling site, but more than that, and if we want to find another, maybe use the right keyword will be help like bitcoin mining, there are tons of how to, pros and cons, and any other.

In some ways you are correct, if someone isn't ready to invest in Bitcoin, well then they just shouldn't invest. If people don't know about Bitcoin, they don't get the option of investing or not.

if bitcoin can be advertise there too maybe more attention will bring to this coin the problem is where we can find funds to do that it is a big money that we are talking here so it is not an easy task to be done.

i guess it does not violate the rules of youtube maybe you can make money from youtube and bitcoin together by sharing information via youtube.

I do have a aged Youtube account with about 100 subscribers. I haven't upload any videos for a long time now. I do however will upload Bitcoin related video with gaming 'background' to my channel if required. I don't know if it will help promote Bitcoin or crypto, but, why not?

But not much users will watch the video then, while if we advertise then the ad is shown to all the users who visit and watch youtube videos, so advertising on youtube is a supreme idea if and only if we can find a way to sponsor it somehow. I think some big companies or sites need to involve in this.

Exactly, because even if they promote themselves and users start using their service then soon they will also learn about bitcoins too. I think a ad like for piiko where they show users how easy is it to recharge mobiles with bitcoins could do awesome.
