Let’s Make Money on YouTube: 1. Join the YouTube Partner Program The YouTube Partner Program (YPP) is the primary way to make money on YouTube. To be eligible, you need to have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months. Once you're in the YPP, you can earn money through a variety of ways, including:
- Channel memberships: Viewers can pay a monthly fee to become a member of your channel and get access to exclusive perks, such as early access to videos, members-only live streams, and custom badges and emojis.
- Super Chat and Super Stickers: During live streams and premieres, viewers can pay to have their messages pinned to the top of the chat or to send animated stickers.
- Merchandise shelf: You can display and sell merchandise on your channel page, and YouTube will take a cut of the profits.
2. Monetize your videos with ads When you monetize your videos with ads, YouTube will place ads before, during, and after your videos. You'll earn a portion of the ad revenue, based on the number of views and clicks your ads receive. To monetize your videos, you'll need to enable monetization in your YouTube Studio. Once you've done that, you'll be able to choose which types of ads you want to run on your videos. 3. Get sponsorships and brand deals Once you've built up a following, you can start reaching out to brands for sponsorships and brand deals. This is where you'll partner with a brand to promote their products or services in your videos. In exchange, the brand will pay you a fee, or give you free products or services. 4. Sell your own products and services If you have your own products or services, you can sell them directly through your YouTube channel. You can do this by adding links to your product pages in your video descriptions and cards. You can also create dedicated product videos where you talk about your products and services in more detail. 5. Create and sell online courses If you have expertise in a particular area, you can create and sell online courses through your YouTube channel. You can promote your course on your channel and drive traffic to your sales page. 6. Use affiliate marketing Affiliate marketing is a way to earn commissions by promoting other people's products and services. You can do this by adding affiliate links to your video descriptions and cards. When a viewer clicks on an affiliate link and makes a purchase, you'll earn a commission on the sale. Here are some additional tips for making money on YouTube:
- Create high-quality content that people want to watch. This is the most important factor in making money on YouTube. Your videos should be well-produced, informative, and entertaining.
