🎧 Reach the YouTube Audience That Isn't Watching

Looking to tap into YouTube reach you are probably not using yet? A huge chunk of YouTube time is spent listening rather than watching, through podcasts, music, or background audio while people do something else. Google recently released a guide specifically for reaching this audience through audio ads, and it is a genuinely cheap way to expand your campaigns.

1️⃣ Understand the Format Basics
Audio ads can run up to 30 seconds. Anything 15 seconds or under plays as non-skippable, while 16 to 30 seconds runs as skippable. You upload a standard video URL as the asset, with a recommended 16 by 9 aspect ratio, resolutions from 426x240 up to 3840x2160, and file sizes up to 128GB. Since the format centers on audio, a static image or light animation works well visually.

2️⃣ Set Up the Campaign Correctly
Choose Video as the campaign type and Audio as the subtype, under the Brand awareness and reach objective. Target CPM bidding applies automatically, and performance estimates appear once your ad group is set up, as long as the campaign uses a single ad format. Avoid narrowing targeting too much, since tighter targeting limits delivery and can drag performance below initial estimates.

3️⃣ Write Creative That Sounds Like Content
For a 30 second spot, aim for 60 to 80 words of conversational script. Introduce the brand or product early and include a clear call to action, either spoken aloud or as a short link in the creative.

The Takeaway
Audio ads offer an inexpensive way to reach a YouTube audience that never actually looks at the screen. With the right setup and a script that feels conversational rather than promotional, this format can extend your reach without extending your budget.

💖 Turn Any Idea Into an AI Powered Site with Lovable

Looking to turn a rough app idea into a working AI powered site without writing a giant technical prompt yourself? Lovable makes it possible by pairing ChatGPT for planning with Lovable for building. Here is a step by step guide using a recipe app called Method, which turns pasted recipe text into an editable visual card.

Steps to Build an App Using ChatGPT and Lovable

1️⃣ Describe Your App in ChatGPT
Attach a reference screenshot and describe the app you want to build. Answer ChatGPT's follow up questions, but keep version one focused on the core loop of paste, convert, review, and save.

2️⃣ Turn the Conversation Into a Handoff Brief
Ask ChatGPT to convert the conversation into clear feature requirements and a detailed brand brief for Lovable. Remove any extra features before copying the final handoff document.

3️⃣ Create Your Lovable Project
Start a new Lovable project, attach the same screenshot, and paste in the handoff specs generated by ChatGPT to give Lovable full context.

4️⃣ Enable AI and Refine
Go to Connectors, then Cloud AI, and enable Lovable's built in AI. From there, you can test the app and refine it based on how it performs.

The Takeaway
Lovable removes the need for a giant technical prompt by letting ChatGPT handle planning and Lovable handle building. This combination makes it possible to move from a rough idea to a working AI powered app quickly, without sacrificing structure or clarity along the way.
