Congratulations to all winners and participants. Creating a high-quality product video takes time and effort, and we appreciate everyone who contributed to making this contest a success.

It was a very close competition

Choosing the winners was not easy.

Several other submissions came very close to reaching the top three. In some cases, creators forgot to include affiliate links, which were one of the contest requirements. In other cases, videos became unavailable during the final review process or certain details of the submission were incomplete.

What made these decisions particularly difficult is that many of the videos themselves were genuinely strong. We did our best to help creators throughout the contest by providing guidance, feedback and recommendations whenever possible. Our goal was not only to select winners, but also to help sellers create content that can continue generating value long after the contest ends.

Many great videos are still coming

One thing became very clear during the judging process: there were more good videos than available prizes.

Many submissions showed strong potential and deserve additional visibility. Over the coming weeks, we will be reaching out to creators individually. Some videos may require minor improvements, while others are already ready for promotion.

The best videos will be featured in upcoming content collections and on our official YouTube channel, which has more than 100,000 subscribers. This gives creators an additional opportunity to showcase their products to a wider audience and attract new users.

If you submitted a video but did not make the winners list, do not be discouraged. There is a good chance your content will still receive additional exposure.

Good videos drive sales

While the contest is over, the value of video content remains.

A good video helps traders understand your product faster, builds trust and makes it easier for potential customers to decide whether your solution is right for them. Whether you are selling a trading bot, indicator or plugin, clear video content can have a direct impact on visibility, conversions and sales.

That is why we encourage all sellers to continue creating videos even outside of contests. The most successful creators consistently invest in explaining their products, sharing use cases and helping traders understand the benefits of their tools.

The contest may have winners, but every seller who creates useful, informative video content is investing in the long-term success of their products.
