Step 1: Register as an Advertiser

Step 2: Create a New Campaign
After logging in, create a new advertising campaign in the Manage Campaigns section. Select Popunder ad format and High Activity Traffic channel for the first launch.
Add Your YouTube Link
To promote your YouTube content, use a direct link to your YouTube channel or video as the campaign destination.
Example:
Here is a link to the HilltopAds YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@hilltopads_network
When creating a campaign, simply paste this link into the “Final Destination URL” field. This is the page users will land on after clicking (or viewing) your ad, so make sure it leads directly to the YouTube channel, video, or playlist you want to promote.
