Pratique du Shadowing: I Tried Promoting My Channel With Terrible Ads - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

Création de la leçon...
1
Here's a fun fact.
2
YouTube has over 100 million ads on its platform.
3
And not all these ads are good.
4
In fact, a lot of them are spam or scam ads, as we've taken a look at in the past.
5
But today's gonna be a little bit different, because I myself am going to be posting some of these ads.
6
And not just any ads, scam ads.
7
And you're probably asking yourself, Sam, why would you purchase some of these scam ads and buy into this terrible ad system on YouTube?
8
And the reason being is simple.
9
I wanna promote my channel.
10
That's right, I'll be making and running five different types of ads.
11
Four of them will be scam ads, and the last one will be an actual ad to see whether or not ads actually work on YouTube.
12
Also, I want to see if scam ads are better than normal ads.
13
Because maybe there's a reason people are running them.
14
Anyways, we obviously have a lot to do, so without further ado, let's do this.
15
Now, historically, YouTube has had many scam ads, like cryptocurrencies, NFTs, MrBeast giveaways.
16
I think I even saw, like, a MrBeast pee in a bottle once.
17
Although, maybe that was, like, a thumbnail that I put out a couple of months back.
18
I don't know.
19
It's all the same.
20
However, there's a lot out there, and so I want to catch myself up with a recent YouTube scam meta, so then I can figure out what four scam ads I'm going to make.
21
And what better way to find this than to just go into the trending tab
22
and just start watching videos like the good old days?
23
Let's go on to a KSI video and see what we're getting served.
24
Some of these aren't going to be scams, keep in mind.
25
Like this green gobbler doesn't look like a scam, looks pretty legit.
26
Ah, but find a soulmate from the Philippines, some like AI avatar.
27
See, this could be interesting.
28
Imagine like a Sambucha hot new singles ad just popping up on your YouTube feed.
29
That's exactly what we're going to do for the first one.
30
So I'm going to commission my thumbnail guy to create the sexy Sambucha singles in your area picture because honestly, like, I feel like I have to do this offline.
31
I don't know if you guys can see me in action trying to put this together, but I will show you the finished product, and then we'll ultimately make it into some sort of video.
32
We'll figure that out, though.
33
All right, let's keep bouncing around here and going into some other videos.
34
What's this?
35
Squid Game Season 2 by Netflix.
36
Come on, show me an ad.
37
Nothing?
38
Dr. Mike just destroyed Mr. Beast.
39
How Penguin Z destroyed all-in-one social platform.
40
That's not really a scam.
41
Let's keep it moving.
42
Play Free Obby.
43
Ah, okay.
44
Ah, I know what we're doing.
45
So seeing that made me think of these like mobile game ads that are clearly scams.
46
I actually had a video where I played a hundred of them.
47
It was kind of fun, honestly.
48
But I think I'm going to make a mobile game, or at least the ad portion of it, and it's going to be me like ultimately reaching the YouTube channel.
49
How does that sound?
50
Maybe it's like me going through like a bunch of different YouTube obstacles to ultimately get to the subscribe button.
51
And along the way, like maybe something happens to me.
52
Like maybe I get fat or skinny.
53
I don't know.
54
So I'm going to commission a developer to actually create this for me.
55
Is that crazy?
56
No, we need to because obviously I want to promote the channel.
57
So I figured it's too much money to create an actual mobile game.
58
So I think instead I'm going to hire somebody to make like a 2D character animation similar to this.
59
So I found this guy Divyesh, 4.8 stars.
60
$250 is not bad for a 60 second animation.
61
So if I could just do something like this, I feel like I'd be pretty happy with like a Sambucha avatar.
62
And obviously not this part, but just something 2D.
63
It's like there's like a goal, like we're going to like the finish line with the finish line being like the subscribe button.
64
I think that's good.
65
So we're going to wait to hear back from Divyesh.
66
Hopefully he can help us out here.
67
All right, again, this find a soulmate from the Philippines has popped up, and I don't know what to do with this.
68
So I think I'm gonna go ahead and interpret this as like an AI ad.
69
So maybe I have to make like an AI ad.
70
What if I do like one of those fake Sambucha ads that it's me on the bottom, but it's not actually me reacting to what's on top.
71
So I'll just take a clip of me in which I'm reacting to something, and then I'll change what it is up top.
72
And it's like me like reacting to a clip as if it's just like my YouTube channel.
73
Does that make sense?
74
Well, it's gonna make sense because I'm going to whip that up right now.
75
All right, I think I have an idea of
76
which short I want to use my reaction from
77
because I think there's one where I'm just like in shock and in awe And I think it'll be a good one.
78
So what was it?
79
When DVD hits corner.
80
Okay, here we go.
81
The greatest moment of my life.
82
This video It's like also like my most viewed video, but how about it's me in the bottom and I'm just like eating
83
and then I get super Hyped when I see this.
84
I think this looks good Okay This is such a stupid shirt.
85
Why did 45 million people watch this and 3.7 million people like this?
86
This is the worst piece of content I've ever put out.
87
But anyways, we're gonna use the bottom.
88
So I think what I'm gonna do is I'm going to act as if I'm just doing what I'm doing.
89
But up top, it's somebody about to subscribe, then they pull away, and then they actually subscribe at the end.
90
It's gonna make more sense when I make the video.
91
So I'm gonna put it together and then we'll ultimately watch it.
92
So I got something from the US Money Reserve, which is gold ownership and Bitcoin is technically digital gold and digital gold is a cryptocurrency.
93
And so there is NFT.
94
So I think I'm gonna make a really scammy NFT or NFT video promoting my YouTube channel.
95
I mean, that's as scammy as you can get.
96
So let's make it.
97
So right there, I feel pretty good about having four solid scam ads.
98
So they're all in the works right now and they'll be created hopefully sometime within the next couple of days.
99
I think the mobile game ad's gonna take some time, but that's fine.
100
In the meantime, we're gonna create the fifth ad though, which honestly isn't a scam ad, and it's actually the most earnest, honest ad of them all.
101
And that is an actual ad.
102
So I'm going to create an ad right now, live, for people to ultimately see this and then subscribe to the channel.
103
Hey, what's up, everybody?
104
My name is Sambucha, and I'm a YouTuber, and I would love it if you would come join us in our next video.
105
So I am a YouTuber with 8.3 million subscribers at the time of this recording, and I hope you can make it 8.31.
106
I make shorts.
107
I make longs.
108
I'm a variety YouTuber who dabbles in challenges, gaming, lots of gaming, and a ton of fun other stuff.
109
I do a lot of different collaborations, and I love my audience because they're very cool, including you if you're a part of us.
110
So I hope you'll join us, and if you want to, all you have to do is join the channel right here below by clicking the subscribe button.
111
I'll see you in the next video.
112
Thank you so much for watching, and here's a really cool outro that you can enjoy now.
113
Peace.
114
That was live.
115
You're gonna notice there was no cuts right there.
116
That was just a live ad, right?
117
Put me on like, I should be a streamer.
118
That was legit.
119
Right?
120
Zero cuts.
121
You didn't see a single thing.
122
I love it.
123
But of course, I want to get it professionally edited.
124
And so that entire clip is going to be shipped off to a professional editor to make something
125
that is ultimately good for a YouTube ad.
126
So as far as the channel that I'm doing this on, it's a channel called For Sambucha.
127
Like somebody literally made this channel for me.
128
It has 300 subscribers.
129
I'm like, hey, I'll take it.
130
They put in a picture of me when I was on vacation.
131
And I don't even know where I was, the Dominican Republic.
132
No videos or anything.
133
That's all fine and dandy.
134
However, what we're going to do with this channel is run the ads
135
because if you didn't realize there's a promotion tab basically right here And if you click into it, you can get started to promote your channel and business on YouTube.
136
Very cool So get started.
137
I guess you have to create like an ad sense account
138
and then your goal could be audience growth video views So in our case, we want people to drive to Uh the audience
139
because we want to grow the channel
140
and then you select a video from the channel So I'll have to post it here.
141
I don't have any right now and then yeah, so on and so forth So once we have the videos, I'll upload them onto this channel and then we'll heavily promote them and we'll see if I go from $2.99 upwards.
142
I'll give about a week to run or so and we'll see what happens.
143
In the meantime, I will see you guys when the ads are created.
144
I never know if I should do this thing.
145
Like does it matter?
146
I don't think it matters.
147
Who invented that?
148
That's so stupid.
149
Just Alright guys, so it's about a week later
150
and all five ads are officially made
151
So we're gonna check them out right now for the first time
152
and then we're gonna go ahead and post them to promote it and then we'll see what the results are.
153
All right, so this video is a 25 second short
154
that basically promotes a fake cryptocurrency or NFT project that I put out, allegedly, and it uses like an AI voice in the background that's not actually me promoting it.
155
And it's just one of those classic NFT scam ads.
156
I'm excited to see this.
157
Well, actually, let's see, because maybe not.
158
I'm sure some people will actually fall for this.
159
Hi, I'm Sam Butcha.
160
I'm excited to announce the launch of my new crypto project called ButchaCoin.
161
Starting a coin has always been a dream for me.
162
I named the coin after me, Sam Butcha.
163
I worked with a bunch of professional people to make this coin come true.
164
And I can promise you guys that if you buy the coin, you will get millions back.
165
This will overtake Bitcoin.
166
Since this is an exclusive coin, you can only claim it if you subscribe to my channel and check my bio.
167
So make sure to subscribe as fast as possible.
168
Amazing, I love it.
169
I actually genuinely feel like I should be making a coin now because that landed super well.
170
I don't know if it landed as well for you guys as it did for me, but I'm convinced.
171
I'm all bought into Sambucha coin.
172
Okay, that is great.
173
I'm ready to promote that.
174
I think it also makes sense that since I'm creating five separate scam ads to promote my brand, I also should probably do a more legitimate one in the form of maybe building a website for myself
175
because websites obviously help you build your brand.
176
And so the website that I'm creating is called sambuchahello.odoo.com.
177
And this website is going to be the hub for anybody who comes across it randomly, I'm not sure why you would, to then be like, oh, let me go ahead and subscribe to this guy's YouTube channel.
178
So not a scam, an actual legitimate one, but I think it's nice to do the contrast here.
179
So I'm using Odoo because it's completely free and you'll get a custom domain name for an entire year, which is obviously super huge, unlike some other players in the space.
180
And it's just a couple of clicks because I'm not super like technical, so I can't really do this.
181
Okay, so I think it makes sense to create a blog and this would be for my YouTube business.
182
You wanna call it that.
183
Oh, nice.
184
With the main objective to get leads.
185
No, inform customers about the truth and you choose a color palette.
186
Okay, so YouTube is like reddish.
187
So let's go ahead and get something close to red.
188
I guess this is red.
189
No, that looks better.
190
Add pages and features.
191
So what do we wanna include on here?
192
I think we just mainly wanna put in like, maybe like services and they'll be like, I provide great YouTube content for free.
193
You just have to click subscribe and I'll go ahead and build my website.
194
So choose my theme.
195
This is very nice.
196
I'll choose, let's go ahead with this theme and bam, just like that.
197
It is now over the course of like less than 60 seconds, creating an entire website.
198
So as I was saying before, Odo is completely free and it provides for you a custom domain name for an entire year.
199
And they also have unlimited hosting and support.
200
They also have chat GPT integrated within it.
201
So you can rewrite, reword, re-lengthen and change the tone of the text for certain sections seamlessly.
202
So basically it's free, it's fast and it's simple.
203
So you don't have to be technical whatsoever and you can just create a website, which is like insane.
204
All right, so I made a couple of adjustments to simplify the site and this is what we're left with.
205
So SambuchaHello.odoo.com will provide us with this and we will track whether or not this provides any sort of traffic.
206
But now let's get back to some scam ads.
207
All right, so this next one, I apologize in advance for, But it is actually the thumbnail of this video that you're watching right now.
208
So you know that I don't clickbait because I'm actually using this in the video.
209
But here we have it.
210
Feast your eyes on hot YouTubers in your area.
211
And then this is a very real picture of me.
212
That is exactly what I look like, of course.
213
I have a lollipop and then some lipstick on.
214
I don't know why that's there.
215
I did not instruct Amir to make that.
216
Anyways, so I'm excited to put this out.
217
I also put it into like a 30 second video where it's just the picture playing for 30 seconds, just in case I'm unable to make a banner ad.
218
So I wonder how this is going to land because this one's definitely the most experimental.
219
Of course, we're trying to emulate the hot new singles near you vibe.
220
And this is what we came up with.
221
So I'm excited to put this one out in particular.
222
I think this will really drive traffic to this Ambucha channel.
223
All right, so now there's two versions of this ad that we're about to watch.
224
And this is basically the fake reaction on the bottom with something up top.
225
So it's like they're using my likeness, but they're promoting something.
226
And in this case, they're promoting subscribing to me.
227
So there it is typed in, somebody searching it.
228
I don't know if we could play the full music because it might get copyright.
229
All right, and you'll see I'm leaning in He's about to subscribe.
230
Yeah Good, and then he pulls away and you'll see I'm like okay.
231
That was close, but then he's coming back
232
Wow chills
233
Actually just got chills watching that and it was so good
234
that we also had made an IRL version just in case you're not on Desktop
235
and that looks a bit unfamiliar to you look at this.
236
All right, so it's basically the same idea and and instead, you're gonna see it's somebody, they're considering subscribing, and then all of a sudden they're like, you know what, nah.
237
And they pull back, and I'm like, okay, that was close.
238
And then here we go again, he's going in, he double thought, he's gonna double tap, here we go.
239
I think that's actually a compelling video to put out.
240
I think that is like genuinely a good video that will get people to subscribe.
241
All right, this one I'm excited to show you.
242
So I had commissioned the guy to make a mobile game Fiverr of me going through some like task.
243
I have no idea what I'm about to watch
244
But it is a 30 second short
245
that I will be using to promote my channel I don't know what this is gonna contain.
246
This is my first time watching it.
247
So let's check it out All I already see K
248
so slimmed down a bit in like a dress suit and then I guess this is me.
249
So let's see Speed Kai Who is that?
250
Logan Paul What?
251
That is the greatest video that I will ever put out like bar none.
252
Okay, so that is the mobile game ad.
253
I He did it.
254
He did well.
255
He did well.
256
What can I say?
257
Great job.
258
Thank you for helping out on that.
259
And then of course we have the actual ad
260
So this is just like a legitimate ad to get people to subscribe to the channel
261
And this is like the more mature version and then I have a kids version as well.
262
So here's the normal version Hey, what's up everybody?
263
My name is Sam Bucha, and I'm a youtuber And I would love it

277

278
if you would come join us in our next video
279

282

283

284
By clicking the subscribe button.
285
I'll see you in the next video.
286
Thank you so much for watching, and here's a really cool outro that you can enjoy now.
287
Peace.
288
Wait.
289
He's got the sandwich right now, right now.
290
Right now right now Don't waste a second find out how Wait Subscribe to Sam Butcher Right now right now
291
Join the crew and take a bow That is cinema right there.
292
Why do I like unironically want to use that for my outro now?
293
Okay, that is great.
294
All these ads are fantastic So we're gonna go ahead and post every single one of these Okay,
295
the title of this one's gonna be hot new youtuber in your area definitely not made for kids Subscribe to Sambucha.
296
So here we have the mobile game.
297
I'm gonna say brand new mobile game at Sambucha.
298
Okay, here's another one.
299
So this is gonna be the IRL version of the subscribe.
300
Then I'm gonna say subscribe to Sambucha on PC for those who are on their PC for it.
301
Okay, so for this we're gonna have the kids version of the ad of course.
302
That's gonna be the normal version.
303
Finally, we have new Sambucha cryptocurrency NFT project at Sambucha.
304
I mean, for the main goal, I think it makes sense to just go pure video views.
305
Website makes no sense.
306
We don't have a website.
307
And then audience growth doesn't make sense because there's no additional videos on this channel.
308
So I kind of just want people to see the general Sambucha ad.
309
So I think video views.
310
All right, now we're going to slot in some videos.
311
Oh, that looks so good.
312
All right, we're going to target mainly the United States.
313
And I think we should target English-speaking countries because let's face it, I'm English.
314
Well, I'm an American, but I speak English.
315
Now, what are we going to spend to the end date?
316
Oh, I could wait.
317
How long can I make this promotion?
318
Ooh, let's run a, I want to run like a very tight three-day promotion
319
because I honestly want to put this video out too.
320
So let's run it to October 21st. I'm filming this on October 18th.
321
So it'll be a three-day sprint and I'm going to, the goal is to get like maybe, I was thinking like a thousand views per video.
322
So what's budget?
323
Can we get that with 50 bucks?
324
It's kind of crazy.
325
Oh, it looks like we could.
326
What is the average of that?
327
21. Okay.
328
I think we could promote all of these videos for about 50 bucks.
329
A hundred has better performance.
330
Okay.
331
So maybe I'll do a hundred then.
332
Five videos, five, 600 bucks.
333
That's fine.
334
Okay.
335
All right.
336
So I just went ahead and promoted all, I guess we have seven videos now because I have two different versions of two of them.
337
But yeah, they're pending.
338
So as soon as these launch October 21st, I'll come back and review everything and we will see how things go.
339
Hopefully a lot of people end up subscribing to the channel.
340
And also hopefully a lot of people don't think this is fake because it is a legitimate campaign that I am running. So subscribe.
341
All right, I'll check back in in a couple of days.
342
Okay guys, so it's been officially three days.
343
The promotional period for these multiple ads has ended.
344
So I'm excited to look into these stats now to see how many views they got, to see if there's any comments and also to see if my main channel gained any subscribers, or I guess the channel that I posted this on.
345
So we're going to see if this was a successful campaign.
346
All right, so clicking into the content here.
347
Okay, first off, whoa, that's actually absurd that we have a video that got 5,000 views.
348
What?
349
That's crazy.
350
So subscribe to Sambucha Kids version got 5,000 views.
351
Wow, that's more than what they had projected.
352
And then as far as shorts go, I mean, not super well.
353
It looks like some of these got zero, which honestly like isn't the best to see.
354
Nobody commented on a single thing.
355
So I don't know how helpful this ultimately was.
356
If we were looking at the analytics, the grand total subscribers, we lost six.
357
So somehow we actually lost subscribers, which is kind of sad to see.
358
But I will note that the views were up on this channel.
359
And also interestingly, the average view duration on this video was 98%.
360
So what that means is that the average length of a person who viewed this was 50 seconds of 51 seconds.
361
So people watched this entire video for whatever reason.
362
I don't understand why, I don't understand how.
363
What I do like is that nobody actually called this out as being a Sambucha experiment, which means if you're seeing this, you definitely didn't see any of these ads,
364
which is good because I feel like the last couple of experiments I did, people kind of like understood what I was doing before I posted the video, but this one's a bit different.
365
Now, interestingly, and I don't know what this says about me, But the one
366
that has me just like sort of plastered on there with my Fabio hair had the lowest average view duration
367
and the lowest views of qualified videos.
368
Not sure why.
369
I thought I looked pretty good there.
370
Now, if we're taking a look at some of my subscriber data, what we want to look at is October 18th to 20th to see
371
if we gained a lot of subscribers on those days relative to other ones.
372
So October 18th, 19th, 20th.
373
Okay, well, looks like it was the lowest of the month, which doesn't look great for us.
374
But all right, I guess this campaign was an absolute failure because there wasn't really any redeeming qualities to this.
375
I didn't gain any subscribers disproportionately.
376
The channel I posted it on only got a total of
377
like 6,500 views with most of them coming from one video
378
and nobody reached out to me telling me they found the videos.
379
So is it worth promoting on YouTube?
380
Probably not.
381
I would just make normal content and then post it.
382
Every other experiment I did ended up being a lot better.
383
So why would you pay for ads?
384
Just make good content.
385
All right, guys, well, that's the video.
386
So thank you so much for watching.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
