Most business owners think an expensive video is their only option. I’m here to tell you: it’s not! Here are some of the most effective YouTube ads.
Side note: it may surprise you.
Number 1 YouTube Ad By V Shred
V shred is explicitly good at what they do. They are on point with their marketing campaigns and they don’t spot creating effective ads. It’s always a good idea to follow what some of the best are already doing. Notice that most of this video is short with a simple phone with his shirt off. A great way to show what we can look like one day. We love his bulging muscles. You know how effective a YouTube ad is by the amount they are spending and how long the ad is running. If you find an ad that has been running for months and they are spending hundreds of thousands on that ad, it should be working. V Shred is spending a lot of money on their ads. Here are the stats:

Number 2 YouTube Ad By Jeff Learner
Jeff Learner is new to the YouTube ad scene. He is using YouTube ads to get people into his funnel where he will up-sell you into purchasing a product. Anything to do with Making Millions quickly is a hot topic. Notice his great offer: effective YouTube ads come with a great offer. This is the ad we break down in the video above.

Number 2 YouTube Ad By Investorsplace
Investorsplace has launched a YouTube video that starts off with a Billionaire showing off his billions. He obviously needs to make money to support his lifestyle by getting poor people to give him more. I don’t like the tactics, but the ad is working.

Number 3 YouTube Ad By Grammarly
Grammarly spends more on YouTube than any other company. They have 4 or 5 ads running at one time, spending millions on each ad. They came onto the YouTube ad scene a couple of years back and have not let up. They come in at the number 1 spot in ad spend, with a whopping $7,000,000 on this one video. They have spent millions on other YouTube ads without making a profit. Grammarly seems to have an unlimited budget and are trying to capture market share.
