How To Make Money On YouTube
9 Ways Influencers Monetize Their Youtube Channels
YouTube has become a content phenomenon.
According to Statistics Brain a staggering 1,325,000,000 people use YouTube,
watching 4,950,000,000 videos every day. 3.25 billion hours of video are watched
on YouTube each month. Is it any surprise, therefore, that YouTube stars are often
more influential than traditional celebrities?
What are the main ways you
can earn money from YouTube?
Advertising Revenue
1
For a start, you share the
advertiser’s money with
Google. Google keeps about
45% of what advertisers pay.
You will earn somewhere
between $1 and $2 per
1000 views (CPM)
2
Joining an MCN (Multi-Channel Network)3
Earning Rewards as
a YouTube Partner
YouTube provides extra promotion to
their YouTube Partners, and includes
them in various advertising programs
worldwide, both online and offline.
They are very much like talent agents. In return for a percentage of
your AdSense revenue (or any other form of income the MCN
arranges for you), they will broker deals for you and connect you
with other YouTube talent. If you live in the right place, your MCN
may even provide you with studio space to produce your content.
4
5Once you have made a
name for yourself you will
have followers - your
personal fanbase. These
followers will often be
happy to spend money on
any merchandise you sell.
You could, for instance,
create a range of shirts or
hats that promote your site.
Some of the more influential
YouTubers gain enough
fame and traction that they
can use this fame to help
launch new products.
Ancillary Products
7
Affiliate Links
If the visitor ends up buying the product,
the owner of the YouTube video
receives a percentage of the purchase
price. Affiliate links are something of a
gray area in relation to YouTube’s rules.
However, they are relatively common,
and as long as you use them sensibly,
YouTube appears to accept them.
Sponsorship,
Endorsements,
Product Placement
If your videos are good enough, and
tremendously popular with a large
audience, companies recognize your
influence on your audience as being
nearly as important as that of
mainstream media.
6
Subscription Fees
8
If you can build up a solid
following of people who
see true value to themselves
in your videos, you may
consider creating gated
content in a premium paid
Subscriber-only channel.
This is clearly not an option
for beginners.
9
Crowdfunding Support
Crowdfunding is rapidly becoming a
common business model for the
funding of many types of products and
services. Crowdfunding is where
people go to a specific page on a
website and donate money.

a video in 2013, 45% of them claimed to have uploaded
at least one video of their pet or some other animal.
