Google video ads guide for beginners introduction.
There is a reason we decided to write this Medium story titled Google Video Ads Guide for Beginners. Among all the paid ads we have tested, Google video ads are by far the cheapest and most effective paid ads. Making it the perfect choice, especially for beginners.
With this article titled Google Video Ads Guide for Beginners, you will learn how to set up your Google video ad. This works rather surprisingly well, especially for beginners with affiliate marketing. Beginners can often profit more than anticipated. But there is also an added advantage to these Google video ads we will guide you through.
If you do not have a Google ads account, you can simply create your Google video ads account with Google ads. You will need this Google ads account in order to run Google video ads. You can drive traffic to videos, and 5 alternative links. But also have the privilege of using a call-to-action button with these Google video ads.
Remember that videos are a 33-billion-dollar industry, and when done right you can get your slice of the 33-billion-dollar pie with Google video ads. But from an affiliate marketing perspective, you cannot use affiliate links with Google video ads (call-to-action URL / 5 alternative URLs).
We will however also guide you through these Google video ads for beginners, with regards to how you get to include your affiliate offers. There are “ways” with Google video ads to get buyer traffic to affiliate links. But Google ads will not approve your video ad when it contains direct affiliate links. You need what we call “bridge pages”.
If you followed along with this beginner's guide. You will have a pretty good basic structure idea of Google video ads. Providing you with a basic understanding of Google video ads. But as a beginner, you might want to use this guide to get to know your way around Google video ads. But let’s move on to the allowed URLs with Google video ads.
This beginner's guide to Google video ads, however, is based on the newer version of Google ads. We did write a Medium story on how we got video views and “asset” views resulting in sales. You might want to read the Medium story below. Then you will know both strategies.
Beginners guide with accepted links by Google video ads.
There are ways to leverage Google video ads and get targeted USA buyer traffic to your affiliate links. But you have to create “bridge pages” as mentioned earlier. The primary purpose of a “bridge page” is to redirect to another URL (your affiliate link). We have tested and found that Google video ads accept the following links.
Your Own Blog.
Canva One-Page Websites.
Google Sites.
Your own blog can redirect to several affiliate products, as can the Canva one-page websites and Google sites. But we’re not going to dive into creating bridge pages. Because there are countless videos that will show you how to create these bridge pages. If you do not have your own hosted blog, then the 2 alternative options will do just fine.
You can choose to create bridge pages exclusively for one affiliate offer only. Or you can choose to include more than one but be moderate. Always include a curious description of the offer, like the benefits and bonuses for instance. Where available, also include testimonials. Use the material provided with your affiliate promotional content.
Google video ads guide for beginners without making videos.
You can use “Creative Commons” licence videos on YouTube, you do not need to create any videos. Many affiliate offers have hundreds of review and walkthrough videos with the Creative Commons License. But what does this mean? It means you are allowed to use the video without any copyright strikes or infringements.
There are, however, several Free and Paid Tools You Can Use to Create Stunning Videos And YouTube Shorts Animations. So if you choose not to use the Creative Commons license videos for your Google video ads, then you can simply make your own videos. You will find this list of tools rather handy; you might want to try them out too.
Canva.
In Video.
Clip Champ.
Kapwing.
But these are just a few of many free video-creating software tools you can use to create videos for your Google video ads. In Video also provides you with the option to use AI voiceover audio. And the voices are more human-like than we anticipated. But if you do not want to create your own promotional videos, the Creative Commons License option will do just fine!
To access the Creative Commons license videos, simply select them from your filter menu inside the YouTube Creator dashboard. As illustrated above, you will have several options. Don’t pay the others much mind just yet. Just focus on the Creative Commons License videos. Before you can run Google video ads, you will need videos, right?
Not to worry, we have done an extensive guide for beginners on how to use Creative Commons License videos. But you may also want to scroll our home feed for access to the Medium story on how to rank a video page one, and position one in less than 60 seconds! You might want to read the Medium story below for the Creative Commons guide.
Steps to set up your Google video ads beginners guide.
First, you go to “create new campaign” for your Google video ads with this beginner's guide. As illustrated below, you want to choose the option for more sales. Remember, you have 5 “asset” (bridge page) URLs to generate sales from. Your aim with your Google video ads is to generate sales, but the choice is yours depending on your needs.
There are several Google ad options to choose from. But with this Medium story, we are just going to focus on Google video ads to generate sales with affiliate marketing. So, you just want to go with “sales” in this first step of your Google video ad. However, in the event you want to try something else, your options are mentioned below.
Leads.
Website Traffic.
Product And Brand.
Brand Awareness And Reach.
App Promotion.
Local Store Visits And Promotion.
As illustrated below, you want to run a Google video ad to generate sales, therefore, next, you select the option “video”. Always remember that videos under 3 minutes perform much better than longer videos. With some Creative Commons License affiliate product presentation videos, you might want to shorten them with a tool like Canva.
But before you do that we strongly advise getting permission from the video owner first. You can usually contact them via email from their “About” page on their YouTube channel. We once contacted a video creator and asked if he would mind us including our own watermark. He responded in kind and said he had no problem with it.
That is just a much safer way to avoid stepping on any “Copyright Or Unlawful Use Legal Action”. After you select “video” and click on “Continue” you are ready to complete your Google video ad as a beginner. Just follow along and pay attention to the steps listed below. There are 9 basic steps to complete your Google video ad.
Enter Another Location (Top-Tier Countries).
Select Language.
Bid Strategy (Maximise Conversions).
Daily Budget (Min 450 South African Rand / $24)
Start And End Date.
Add 5 Additional Site Links (Assets).
Add Interest Target Audiences (Audience Interests).
Enter Your YouTube Video URL.
Then Choose Create Campaign.
Focus on Top-Tier countries because it assures affordability, especially with high-ticket affiliate marketing (Commissions above $100 to $200). That forms part of the “GEO Location” and targeted USA buyer traffic as a result of it. It is also important to select the language your video is in, that way targeting only “English” speaking individuals for instance.
For the Google video ad “bid strategy” with this beginner's guide. The minimum budget allowed per day is around 450 South African Rands. That amounts to around $24. Therefore, in dollars, we would recommend a $25 per day budget. You can also set your start and end date, running your Google video ad for as long as you can afford.
Next, you add your 5 “Asset” URLs or bridge pages. This is why we love Google video ads and decided to write this beginner's guide. You can get USA-targeted buyer traffic to 6 different URLs including your YouTube video for increased views and responses. When you add your “audience interests”, be sure they are related to your affiliate products.
As illustrated above, to “add your video URL”, you want to go to your “Channel Content” area. Click on the 3 dots and you will see the drop-down menu. Click on the “Get Sharable Link” and the URL will automatically be copied to your clipboard. Then you simply paste it into your Google video ad as the video URL.
Before we move on, just a little something about the “Interest Targeting”. When you choose an interest, be sure it is available in the Google ads’ drop-down menu. When a drop-down menu does not present your chosen interest or variants thereof. Then you want to play around with your target interest phrases until it does.
Conclusion of Google video ads guide for beginners.
When you are a complete beginner, then just run a few one-day or two-day Google video ads. Just dip your toes in the water for a bit, and then establish which ads are doing best. Once you establish your best-performing Google video ads, you will know which ones to invest in as a beginner. Just try and find or create videos less than 3 minutes long.

Therefore, work your way towards your YouTube Channel being monetized. Once your YouTube channel is monetized, that means YouTube will show ads on your videos, and pay you for those ad views. So, when your channel is monetized, and you run Google video ads. Then you get paid in return for views as a beginner!
