We changed one thing about how we promoted our science videos on YouTube.
At first, our views went down. Then one episode crossed 1 million views.
Our latest Substack looks at how we changed the Google Ads strategy behind Chemists in the Kitchen—moving away from the familiar 15-second skippable ads and toward a strategy designed to help people discover and choose our videos.
The bigger lesson wasn’t really about getting to a million views. It was about figuring out which views were meaningful in the first place.
If you promote science content—or any content—on YouTube, we hope our experience is useful.
