Ever thought about giving players a cut of your game's revenue? Jure Grahek from ZBD will explore how rewarded play can strengthen your ad monetization strategy at Gamesforum Hamburg! It may seem counterintuitive, but by implementing a revenue share into games, we can drastically improve ad monetization results. That’s essentially the business model behind rewarded play: giving players a bit of the revenue you’re making back as a steady trickle of rewards. We’ll look at some in-market examples of this model, how it works technically and on the business side, plus how it can be improved based on lessons learned so far. 🎟 Register now 👇 https://lnkd.in/epKEfXJZ #gamesforum #gamesforumhamburg #admonetization #useracquisition #mobilegaming #gamegrowth #adtech #mobilemarketing #rewarded #gamemonetization

YouTube Rolls Out Thumbnail A/B Testing To All Channels Great news for creators! YouTube is rolling out a new "Thumbnail Test & Compare" feature in the coming weeks. This allows you to upload and test up to 3 different thumbnails for each video to see which one drives the most views! Here's how it works: Upload your video and create 3 variations of your thumbnail. YouTube will show each thumbnail to different viewers and track watch time. After 2 weeks, YouTube will analyse the data and give you one of three results: Winner: A clear winner emerged that significantly boosted watch time. This thumbnail will be automatically applied to your video. Preferred: One thumbnail showed promise, but the results weren't statistically conclusive. None: No thumbnail showed a clear advantage. Your original thumbnail stays. Pro Tip for Creators: YouTube recommends testing thumbnails on a few older videos first to get a feel for the feature. Then, use those learnings to optimize thumbnails for your newer content. This is a fantastic way to take the guesswork out of thumbnail creation and ensure your videos are getting the best possible click-through rate. Stay tuned for the launch and get ready to test your thumbnails! #dexitobranding #YouTube #Thumbnails #ContentCreation #VideoMarketing

Updated monetization metrics on the Yandex Games Console 📈 As a developer, your game monetization and revenue numbers are becoming more transparent. Previously these numbers were accessible only though the Yandex Ad Network. Now, the revenue from ads and in-game purchases, as well as ARPDAU (Average Revenue Per Daily Active User) are all conveniently located in the Monetization metrics tab. To access these numbers, simply go to “Metrics” section in the developer console and click on “Monetization metrics”. ❗️ These analytics are only available to the game owner account, which means that users with managing access won’t be able to see any sensible information. 💭 What other analytics tools do you think are crucial when releasing a game on the web? #YandexGames #Monetization #GameDevelopment

Another photo-sharing app is officially in the mix…👀 Over the last few days, if you’re a TikTok user you may have noticed notifications about a new app for sharing photos ‘TikTok Notes’. This follows last month’s references to ‘TikTok Photos’ in the platform's back-end code and although it seems that the tentative name has been changed, TikTok is clearly gearing up to launch its Instagram competitor app. While the platform has confirmed that it is working on the app, it has specified that it is not available yet, commenting: “As part of our continued commitment to innovating the TikTok experience, we’re exploring ways to empower our community to create and share their creativity with photos and text in a dedicated space for those formats.” This isn’t the only update from TikTok on the horizon, with the platform also experimenting with different formats, including 30-minute videos and text posts similar to X and Threads. #SocialMedia #TikTok #Instagram #DigitalMarketing
