Buy Facebook Watch Time

Watch time measures how long people actually spend with your video in place of how many opened it, which is why it costs several times what views cost. It is also the metric most often bought with the wrong expectation, so this description starts with the limitation and not ending with it.

How buying Facebook Watch Time works

Most people looking at this service are looking at it because of eligibility thresholds for in-stream advertising. It is worth being direct: purchased watch time is not a reliable route to monetisation approval. Facebook reviews content and account history when assessing eligibility, its criteria change, and a pattern of viewing that does not match the account's audience is exactly the kind of thing a review looks at. If your plan is to buy your way past a threshold and be approved, this is not a service that can promise that outcome, and anyone promising it is not being straight with you.

Who buys Facebook Watch Time

As a presentation and testing metric. A Page pitching to a sponsor can show that its videos hold attention; a creator can make a back catalogue look watched instead of merely clicked. It also supports the impression created by view counts — views without watch time is a combination that tells an informed reader the audience left immediately.

Buying Facebook Watch Time: requirements

• Provide the video link; longer videos absorb watch time more naturally than very short ones.
• The order begins a couple of hours in and is added slowly by design — watch time appearing instantly would be implausible on its face.
• Keep the video public and unedited in length during the order.
• No account or Creator Studio access is requested.

Buying Facebook Watch Time: when to start

Work from the length of the video and the size of your existing audience in place of from a target number in a monetisation article. Watch time far exceeding what your view count could plausibly produce is self-defeating, because the two figures are read together. A modest amount spread across several videos is more coherent than a large amount concentrated on one.
