It is exciting knowing that you can have your own video channel on Roku, 
which is a popular video streaming platform. Many people using a Roku-
enabled device can turn on your channel and watch what you publish. It is 
even more exciting when you know that you can monetize your Roku video 
channel with ad serving from your own advertisers and from other sources. 
The dream of building your own media empire is very much alive and 
affordable. However, there are always challenges along the way and one of 
those tasks is finding advertisers for your Roku video channel. With the right 
approach, strategy and perseverance, it is possible to attract new sponsors to 
your channel and build your revenue stream. Below are some steps you need 
to accomplish in order to bring in ad campaigns:
Build a strong audience
The first step in finding advertisers for your Roku channel is to build a 
strong and engaged audience. The audience come to your channel for its 
content and only stays if they like what they see. The more viewers you 
have, the more attractive your channel will be to potential advertisers. To 
build your audience, focus on creating high-quality content that resonates 
with your target audience and promote your channel through word of 
mouth, viral videos, social media, email marketing, and other channels.
Produce and source high-quality content
People come to your channel to watch videos. To attract these viewers, you 
must have something unique to offer. It can be entertaining videos, niche 
how-tos or some other content categories that are interesting to them. 
Even if you attract them to install your channel onto their lineup initially, 
the next step is to retain them and keep them coming back for more. The 
content you have on your channel must be updated and refreshed 
constantly so that viewers have an incentive to check out new videos.
Understand your target audience
Knowing your target audience is crucial because that is how you know 
what content to produce and share with them. It is also important for 
attracting the right advertisers to your channel. Identify the demographics 
of your viewers, such as their age, gender, location, and interests. This 
information will help you tailor your content and advertising strategies to 
appeal to them. You want them to come back regularly to check out new 
content, engage with each other and with your advertisers.
Create a media kit
A media kit is a package of information that you can use to showcase your channel to 
potential advertisers. It should include information about your audience, your 
content, and your advertising rates. Be sure to include traffic and ad metrics 
provided by your ad server, such as the number of pageviews, impressions, clicks, 
click-thru rate, conversion rate, number of subscribers, geographical distribution, and 
other engagement metrics, as well as any awards or accolades your channel has 
received. Advertisers want to see these numbers in order to determine if it is a good 
investment for them. Offer special introductory advertising rates or even free trials 
as an incentive.
Reach out to potential advertisers
Once you have built a strong and desirable audience and have prepared an attractive media 
kit, it's time to start reaching out to potential advertisers. First, you can do it passively by 
publishing your media kit and placing ad holders in your video ad server. Some of your 
viewers are potential advertisers or can refer your channel to other advertisers. Therefore, 
make it very easy for potential advertisers to contact you by making yourself available on 
multiple communication channels and social media platforms. You can connect with them on 
social media, send cold emails, make phone calls, or even meet in person. When reaching 
out to potential advertisers, be sure to highlight the benefits of advertising on your channel, 
such as access to your engaged audience and the ability to reach a specific demographic.
Attend industry events
Another great way to find advertisers for your Roku channel is to attend 
industry events, meetups and conferences. These events are a great 
opportunity to network with potential advertisers and showcase your 
channel to a wider audience. Be sure to bring business cards and 
promotional materials, and be prepared to pitch your channel to 
potential advertisers.
