Hello everybody Today's video is going to be about sponsored or branded content that youtube. We call paid product placements and endorsements. Now this can be a great way for creators to earn more revenue and Diversify their income and we're seeing a lot more creators engaging in these commercial relationships That being said it tends to be quite a complex area, especially with respect to our policies. So today's video is going to be a bit of a do's and Don'ts hello everybody. Welcome to creator insider This is your informal source from the YouTube tech team giving you all the behind-the-scenes information About what's going on at YouTube? My name is Barbara. My name's Conor. I'm on the ads policy team We've got two quick things right off the bat that we want to make sure that we get across to you. Okay? Number one is to make sure when you upload the video that you go into advanced settings and if you have a paid product placement Or endorsement that you tick the box that says content declaration That's the signal to us that you know The policies really well, make sure that you're alerting us to the fact that there's paid product placement in the video itself Number one number two is to make sure that you read Google's odd policies. So that's to make sure that the advertiser themselves isn't trying to circumnavigate our systems and put Dis alight odd within the content itself You can find a link in the description which goes through all of our rules on some helpful tips as to what to avoid Let's dive in a format sponsor formats. So hey YouTube. I have a brand who I really want to work with How can I incorporate their information into my videos what is allowed? and you can say they sponsor the video so Anything from a little speech baguette to a quick shout out to barbers cosmetics. The only way to get that perfect complexion An awful lot of advertisers as well as youtubers to feature their logo for a couple of seconds in the corner of the video That's allowed as well. Those the format's that we do alive Okay, uh and so what formats do we not allow? Yeah So this is where we come into embedded odds Or what we call burned in to get into the detail of that what the advertiser will do is say hey I'll sponsor your content here is a commercial put it into the video itself That's something that we don't alive Okay, and so for me as a viewer, that would just look like hey I'm watching somebody's video and then in the middle of your video it like switches over to an ad. Yeah, exactly Okay, you break down why this type of format is not allowed sure. So Google on YouTube provides a number of different options for ad formats and that's to ensure that the viewer experience is as seamless as possible what we're seeing is burned in odds again disallowed Coming through in content and that's bad for two reasons. Number one. It's a disallowed format We provide all the formats that are aligned and number two It's a really crummy user experience for your viewers to be watching your fabulous content and then have a break in it where they see a brand image that they didn't sign up for that covers formats that Are and are not allowed now. Let's talk about the sponsors themselves So there are all sorts of brand sponsors out there who would be fantastic for you to work with and make awesome Content about the more interesting part. The real reason you're here is to talk about brands and sponsors who are prohibited So yeah, you have mentioned that there's like five or so top categories that you have been seeing. Let's break this down Yeah, so the types of industries that we're seeing bronze approach creators from our alcohol gambling tobacco Misleading products or products that make misleading claims as well sexually explicit bronze so websites that would feature racy or Adult themes. Okay, you mentioned one fourth in there a products that make misleading claims Let's dive a new example with that sure. So the long and the short of god is a product that makes a claim That's simply too good to be true. So something that isn't scientifically proven something for which there is no evidence so an example of that would be Come take diet pills. You're gonna lose all the weight. You want within 48 hours. That's just very magic So what would happen if I were to do a paid product placement with a brand that falls into one of these categories So it's one of the worst things that can happen for a creator that has put an awful at a time effort and money Into creating great content. We're gonna remove it We're removing more and more content every day in relation to these five industries alone that are approaching Creators and trying to maintain these sponsorship arrangements with them. Okay. So my videos would get removed for the platform remove time Okay So what should I do if I am approached by brand and I'm not sure if they are or are not allowed on YouTube Okay, so you're gonna bookmark the link that you'll find in the description add line in Google's ad policies secondly You're gonna take a quick scan through those Google Ad policies and make sure that the advertiser doesn't fall into one of those industries Which I've outlined and which is explained in a lot more detail on that support page And the third thing that you're gonna do is if you're a little bit unsure or on the side of caution It's really not worth it of your content removed It's not something that we want, but we will do it if we see these types of sponsorships Okay, so be cautious If you don't know exactly we've been hearing Tales that some of these prohibited sponsors have been reaching out to creators and saying like hey, don't worry about it I'm totally good. Look at all of these other videos that happen to feature our brand So don't worry about it. It's totally fine If creators get approached with this type of information are they safe because there are all these other videos out there No Barbara, they're definitely not safe So Google on YouTube are working every day to make sure that bad Advertisers or prohibited advertisers are simply not allowed to engage with Google's users aka all of your viewers what we have to ensure in this instance is that you are on the side of caution the fact that There are other creators out there with these sponsorship arrangements isn't an indication that the Kaiser's are allowed to sponsor this content It's an indication that we are gonna have to work hard to make sure that they're removed Shirin sweet video Wanted to get it straight to the point and we do want to reiterate if you are accepting a brand sponsorship steal Please please do when you upload your video go into advanced settings and take that little checkbox that says content declaration This is a paid product placement and endorsement.
