Quotes

“The biggest misconception that people have is that a lot of people just do 30-second or 60-second ads. I recommend doing a two or even three to five-minute-long ad that actually provides value of some kind.” - Aleric Heck

“It is so important to know who is actually on the other side of the computer. It's too easy to get caught up in the numbers and wonder why these numbers are not working. However, there is something that makes the numbers work or not work, and it’s the people.” - Aleric Heck

“The power of YouTube is that you actually have the ability to run ads in front of specific videos and keywords, and actually get your ad in front of other videos on YouTube.” - Aleric Heck
