What is CPV for linkedin?
For LinkedIn, the CPV is between 0.10 and 0.25 cents. This means that the cost per view of your video ad on this platform is between 0.10 and 0.25 cents per view, depending on target audience, content and competition. This provides an affordable option for businesses looking to promote their brand or generate leads through video content.
The background
In the world of digital marketing, measuring cost per view (CPV) is essential to the success of video campaigns. This metric provides insight into the efficiency of an ad campaign by linking cost to the actual number of times a video is viewed.
By carefully analyzing CPV, marketers can understand the impact of their spending and optimize the ROI of their campaigns. It allows companies to manage their ad budget more effectively and determine whether costs are commensurate with reach and engagement.
The calculation
The formula is simple: total ad cost ÷ total views.
Example: you spend €5,000 and receive 15,000 views. CPV = €5,000 / 15,000 = €0.33 per view.

Three tips for lower CPV
1 - Research what an ideal reach is.
If your target audience is small, you often pay more to achieve 100% reach. Stop your campaign when you have reached 60%-70% of your target audience and repeat the campaign a few months later.
2 - Look closely at the behavior of your target audience.
When is your buyer or champion online? Are you targeting entrepreneurs, for example? Then early mornings, evenings or weekends are often when they have time for education.
3 - Do an A/B test.
On LinkedIn, it's all about the right hook. Especially with video, this is crucial: if you fail to grab attention within 10 seconds, your viewtime drops quickly. Test multiple variations of your intro.
Summary
CPV on LinkedIn averages between 0.10 and 0.25 cents, making it a cost-effective way to do brand promotion and lead generation. Campaign success depends on properly measuring and understanding CPV, combined with smart strategies such as reach optimization, audience insight and A/B testing. This is how you build a targeted and profitable video marketing strategy.

"Our people make the difference." Really? As a former "digital workplace & IT entrepreneur," I've said this for years about my 25 colleagues. But the reality is we were only considered thought leaders by 5% of our target audience. Even today, this remains a common statement from MSPs and IT service providers. But these words lose their meaning if your expertise does not extend beyond your existing customers and a handful of prospects. I now help IT entrepreneurs with thought leadership in their niche.
