STEP UP YOUR MARKETING GAME!

1) Come up with a base ad that you can tweak depending on performance. Come up with three versions to test over a couple of weeks.

2) Choose 30-50 top keywords for in-display targeting. Use a keyword tool to help you decide on the best options for your ad.

3) For in-stream ads, choose the ads that can be skipped. This will save you from spending your budget on people who don\'t want to see your ad.
