It’s not a secret such popular video sharing service
as YouTube (listed in top 5 most popular websites) has a huge traffic (100
million daily video views) and where is traffic there is money! Money not just for
YouTube, but also for you as it valued user and publisher! Exiting, isn’t it?
More than that, there are few ways to earn money with
YouTube, not just one!
Let’s discover them:
1. Make promotional
video for company. Find local
company to promote. It could be restaurant, bar, hotel, spa center or anything
else what can be easily promoted by video. Perhaps you already know somebody
who owns or works in such company. Simply offer them free promotion on YouTube.
Yes, yes, free. Don’t worry, this "free" will anyway make you money!
Not every company may allow you to make video on their
territory and interview them, but I am sure most of companies will be happy to
accept your proposal. Especially when it is free for them!
Then you will make a simple promotional video about
product or service this company provides. Include information about special
promotions, events, advantages, show attractive atmosphere, competitive features
and of course contact info. Be creative while taking video. Try to make it as
professional as you can!
After collecting necessary promotional information and
taking video, process it with Animoto or any other tool (YouTube also have a
lot of processing tools!). At the very end of video include your contact info: “Want
similar video for your business, contact me now! __ (your phone number and
email)” That is what will make you money!
Be prepared for orders! Don’t let customers catch you
by surprise with such simple questions as: “How much you take for making video?”
If your first video wasn’t terrible (but I think my blog
readers are talented people!), you will surely get customers. Perhaps your
first customers will be competitors of that company you made video for, as they
watch what same field companies do! If one of your promotional videos will
result with visible increase of customer activity for one of your client-companies,
you may even get permanent job proposal!
Same trick you can do for local branch of any MLM
company. They also need such videos, but most of them don’t know how to do it.
2. Become YouTube partner. No, no, it’s not difficult at all! To qualify your videos should be 100%
your creation (audio background too!), you should have AdSense account, your videos
should be uploaded regularly and viewed by thousands YouTube users (yes, as
more popular your videos are, as more money you could make!). The only thing you
should check out before applying is availability for your country. “Currently,
the YouTube Partner Program is only available to users in Argentina, Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
the United Kingdom, and the United States.” For more info
about this program, you can visit YouTube.
3. Place affiliate links on your videos. Sing up with affiliate program like ClickBank,
ShareASale, Neverblue etc. Make a short, but exiting video of any product.
Share your affiliate link (but as such links are long and non-memorable, better
even to make a simple site dedicated to that product and share link of your
site) in video and in description. Promote your video by Twitter, Facebook,
MySpace, Digg, Reddit, Delicious etc. You can also combine this idea with
the first one and offer other affiliates same video with their link, not for free, of course!
4. Promote your online store and items listed in it. Having your own online store or partnering with eBay
or Amazon? Make a slideshows (you can use YouTube tools) and promote items what
you have in your store on YouTube! Don’t
have online store yet? It’s not a problem; find out how to set up your Amazon AStore in minutes! If you produce handmade things like painted postcards,
gem stone jewelry, crochet clothes for babies etc., you can also make slideshow
with link where to buy it and contact info where to order similar things!
5. Promote your own website or blog and earn on AdSense
advertising. If you already have your
site, you can drive huge targeted traffic from YouTube. Firstly find latest popular
videos related to your site topic. As soon as possible make video related to
those videos you found. Include link to your site. Then upload them on YouTube so
people who view those popular videos could click on related videos and find your video.
People will visit your site, where you already have enabled advertisements like
AdSense, Chitika or other CPC, and click on those ads. No guaranty it will work well
like this, but it could work better if it’s combined with other promotional actions
(SEO, Facebook page, Twitter, email etc.). By my own experience most CPC
programs work well only when you have enough traffic and subscribers.
Successful webmasters usually combine CPC advertising with other income sources
on their sites. Some successful bloggers even have about 10 different income streams
per blog!
So if idea of making money
off YouTube inspires you, ebook “How to make money with YouTube” I am giving
away will guide you through!
