Are we ready to help more Korean YouTubers discover Steem by investing in YouTube ads which have proven extremely effective promoting Steem in the USA, Canada, Australia, and United Kingdom? With South Korea being the top place Steem and SBD are traded, the data clearly seems to say YES!

If you would like to quickly see how I create the ads with Google AdWords (YouTube ads) to Korean YouTubers along with the initial results here, will you please watch this quick video on @dtube because it shows every step I take to make the ads?
Watch Me Create the Ads in Korea on @dtube!
Video Ad!
The video I am using for the ads is the one that has proven most successful in keeping users watching the longest with the title "#1 All In Altcoin for 2018?" It starts by emphasizing Steem's features as a cryptocurrency and incorporates hundreds of comments of feedback in how I explain Steem!
Results!
The average viewer in South Korea is watching over 20 minutes of the video which is amazing given that english is not a native language in Korea although the ads are targeted to any user YouTube believes can speak english.
The current budget is $25 a day which with $0.03 cost per view equals about 750 views a day on videos with cryptocurrency keywords from users choosing NOT to skip the ad!
The top keyword by watch time and views is Bitcoin with users watching intending to watch a video about Bitcoin instead spending an average of 20+ minutes learning about Steem!
Video in Korean?
While this initial test of my video ad in Korea proves Korean users interested in cryptocurrencies are very open to learning about Steem, what I would prefer is to advertise a video explaining all of this in Korean using https://steemkr.com/.
With @clayop being one of the leaders of the Korean community, I have sent him a private message asking for a YouTube video he recommends for advertising in Korea. If you know of a YouTube video in Korean that will make an outstanding ad for Steem, will you please post it here because then I can use it for YouTube ads? If you speak Korean and English and are willing to verify the quality of an ad, will you reply to any suggestions here because that will help me know the ad is good given that I only know how to say thank you, yes, and no in Korean?
I love Korea and visited Seoul in 2015 to see a friend there. We are very grateful for the huge excitement in Korea about Steem which appears to be one of the main reasons for the price increase over the last several months. Helping more Koreans discover Steem with YouTube ads in Korean may be our best chance to build on the rapid growth we already have there!
Thank you very much for reading this which I hope was useful in keeping the excitement high about Steem!
Love,
