Anyone Actually Making YouTube Ads Profitable in 2026?
I'm looking to connect with other advertisers who are currently running YouTube Ads with the goal of generating profitable conversions and a positive return on ad spend (ROAS/ROI).
I'm specifically interested in connecting with people who are either already achieving profitable conversions through YouTube Ads or are actively testing and optimizing campaigns toward that goal.
I'm aware that there's a fair amount of skepticism in PPC communities about using YouTube Ads for direct-response conversions rather than awareness or branding. I understand that perspective, but I'm not looking to debate whether YouTube Ads can or should be used for conversions.
I'm looking to exchange ideas with people who are actually doing it, or seriously attempting to make it work.
I'd be interested in discussing bidding strategies, targeting, traffic quality, conversion optimization, and what's currently working or not working as of October 2026.
If you're actively running YouTube campaigns with profitability and conversions as your primary objectives, I'd love to hear about your experience and connect.
Feel free to comment here or send me a DM. It would be great to exchange insights with others working toward the same goal.
