Comment Campaigns

BETA

Comment Campaigns gets you found in the comments of the right YouTube videos. Type what you want to be found for: it finds fresh videos worth a comment, scores them, reads what each one says, and helps you write a human comment around your own take. You post it yourself.

Before you start

  • Your Aha Studio accountComment Campaigns is for members: 20 campaigns a month. Unlimited with your own AI key after your first 14 days.
  • A YouTube API key of your ownFree from Google Cloud: switch on the YouTube Data API v3 in a project, make an API key and add it in Account, Keys and connections (Search data). Each search costs 100 of its 10,000 free units a day. The same keys run Playlist Builder, Expired Domain Hunter and SocialWatchr.
Aha never posts, likes or subscribes for you: you open the video and paste. A comment never claims an experience, a result or a number you did not give, and never carries a link or a web address, because YouTube often hides comments that have one.
PART 01

Start a campaign

0 of 6 done
  1. Open Comment CampaignsAt commentcampaigns.ahastudio.net, or press Start something new on your account page and choose Comment Campaigns.
  2. Type your searchesYouTube searches: what your audience types into YouTube, one a line, up to 5.
  3. Say who you areAbout you: what you do and what you know first-hand, in your own words. It is the only experience a comment will ever draw on.
  4. Choose how recentUploaded in the last: an early comment on a fresh video is the one that gets read. 7 days is a good start; widen it for a quiet niche.
  5. Add a product (optional)A product a comment may mention: its name, what it does and how you refer to it in words ("a free tool on my site"). It is mentioned on at most 2 videos a campaign, only when you tick it, and never as a link.
  6. Press Find videos to comment onThe searches run on your own key, every video is scored, and the best come back first.
PART 02

How a video is scored

Fit (up to 40)The AI judges how directly the video touches what you want to be found for and know about. Ads, music, kids content, news drama, politics and videos where only empty praise is possible are skipped.
Traction (up to 25)Views a day since upload, worked out in code.
Freshness (up to 20)How new it is: a comment in the first days gets seen; a comment section months old is closed.
Comment heat (up to 15)How lively the comments are from YouTube's own comment count: talking, but not such a crowd that one more comment is lost.
The barA video needs 50 of 100 and a real fit to be shown. Shorts, live streams and premieres are left out. Hover over a score to see its parts.
PART 03

Write a comment

0 of 5 done
  1. Press Comment on itOn any video in the list. The best three open by themselves.
  2. Press Suggest anglesThe video's transcript is read (when it has captions), then 3 to 5 angles specific to what it says: the missing step, a caveat, how you do it, a question. Each says what you could bring.
  3. Add Your takeWhat you did, what happened, what you would add. Every fact you write is kept exactly; nothing is added that you did not say.
  4. Press Write comment1 to 4 sentences that show you watched it and add one useful thing. Tick Mention first to name your product on this one (a version without the mention comes with it).
  5. Edit, copy and postChange anything, Copy comment, Open the video and paste it under the video yourself. Then Mark posted (or Skip), so the campaign shows where you are.
