1.10.1 What is YouTube Affiliate Marketing?

12. Steps on how to make money on YouTube
Step 1: Setup and build your YouTube channel
Your channel is your personal presence on YouTube. Each YouTube account has one
channel attached to it. A YouTube account is the same as a Google account, and creating a
YouTube account will grant you access to other Google products, such as Gmail and Drive.
Create your account or use your existing one. Add keywords to help people find your
channel.

13. You can add keywords by navigating to the Advanced section of your Channel Settings.
Make sure that your keywords are relevant to your content.
Your username can also work for or against you. If it’s short, easy to remember, and
original, people will be more apt to remember you.
However, if you are using an existing account, you can always change your username by
editing it on your Google+ account.
Creating a YouTube channel using your Google account If you have a Google account, you
can watch, share YouTube content.
But you need to create a YouTube channel to upload videos, comment, or make playlists.
You can use a computer or the YouTube mobile site / App to create a new channel.
Here are the steps:
1. Go to YouTubeandsignin:Head over to YouTube.comand click‘sign in’ in the top right
corner of the page. Sign in using yourGoogle account username and password.
2. Go to YouTubesettings:Inthe top right corner of the screen, clickon your profile icon and
then the Setting icon.
3. Createyourchannel:Under your settings, you’ll see the option to “Create a channel,” click
on this link. Next, you’llhave the option to create a personal channel or create a channel
using a business or other name. For this example, let us choose the business option Now,it’s
time to name yourchannel and select a category.
Creating a proper YouTube channel is not a big deal, here is a detailed guide to setting up a
Youtube Channel.
You might be asking right now, out of thousands of YouTube channels and accounts, how
does your channel stand a chance to be seen?

14. Well, you need not to bother because this is one of the challenges our students have been
able to solve using us our SEO strategies for YouTube. You can learn how you can master
this simple technique also, click on this link to learn about our modules and get started
with optimizing your YouTube channel for the Top position
Step 2: Add content
Try to upload content that is high quality, and isn’t super long. (This option can vary
depending on what type of content you decide to upload).
Also, try to upload regularly and stay consistent with your uploads.

15. Even if your content isn’t great at first, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Try to make each
video better than the last. You will often learn as you go.
Improve your content by either using a better camera or trying better editing software or
techniques.
Also, try to improve the way things are filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light
your scenes better. It all helps for a better end product which in turn helps you get a better
audience.
By uploading regularly you can help hold an audience.
People are more likely to subscribe if you add content on a regular schedule, and maintain
that schedule as much as possible.
Make sure to tag your videos with keywords that describe the content, as well as an eye-
catching description. These will help drive people to your video from YouTube searches.
Step 3: Build an audience

16. Building an audience is key to increasing your monetization. You need people to watch
your ads in order to make any money off of them. There is no one secret to getting more
subscribers, just make the best content that you can and they will come to you.
Keep uploading content and try to get people hooked. Send your video out on Twitter and
Facebook. Share it with people. Distribute it elsewhere on the internet. Subscribers are
essential to becoming a partner.
Interact with your viewers by responding to comments and making occasional videos
directly related to viewer comments and questions. Connecting with your community will
bring more members into that community.

bring more members into that community.
Step 4: Monetize your videos
In order to start earning money on your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization. This
means you are allowing YouTube to place ads in your video. This also means that you
acknowledge that there is no copyrighted material in your video.

17. 1. Go to www.youtube.comandclick“My Channel” on the webpage.
2. Click the link called “Video Manager” on the top bar.
3. Click channel and Enable on monetization.
4. Get at 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers
Step 5: Get at least 4,000 watch hours to start earning
money.
You can monetize a video as it uploads by clicking the Monetization tab and checking the
“Monetize with Ads” box.
To monetize a video after it has been uploaded, open your YouTube Creator Studio, select
the channel drop-down and click the Monetization to monetize your videos.

19. Get reviewed after reaching 4,000 watch hours in the previous 12 months and 1,000
subscribers
Upon reaching this threshold, your channel is automatically reviewed to make sure it
complies with the YouTube Partner Program terms and their Community Guidelines.
Youtube will email you a decision, usually within a week.
Now, this is the tricky part, reaching even a thousand views on YouTube can be quite a
challenge because you have to master the law of engagement, and you can only get such
engagements on your videos when you can hook your viewers using our engagement
strategies for visual contents.
But the good part is that with our course, you will master this strategy and will not find it
hard to hit even 10,000 watch hours for your videos.
Click here to learn about our modules + other 5,000 YouTube subscribers strategies.

20. Step 6: Set up Google Adsense
You can set up Google AdSense for free at the AdSense website.
Click the “Sign Up Now” button to begin creating your account. You must be 18 years or
older to create your own account. If you are younger than that, you will need an adult to
help you.
You need either PayPal or a bank account and a valid mailing address as well as other
information so AdSense can verify who you are and who to send the money to. You only
gain money per ad click and a smaller amount per view but it adds up over time. This is
why having an audience is key.

21. And because you know that this is dependent on your audience, you will learn from our
training how our students reach their first 1,000 subscribers which turn to their first
money off YouTube.
Awesome right?
Click here to find out how you too can learn this our unique strategy.
Step 7: Check your analytics
Once you have some videos online, monetized, and being viewed, you can check out the
analytics on them to see how they are performing. Click the Analytics option in your
Channel menu.

22. Here you can view estimated earnings, ad performance, video views, demographics and
more.
Use these tools to see how your content is resonating with your audience. You can change
your content or your marketing if you’re finding that you aren’t attracting the users that
you want to.
Step 8: Market your videos elsewhere
Don’t put your videos just on YouTube! Start a blog, make a website or post them on other
video or social media sites.
The more views it gets, the better. By sharing the link or embedding the video on the
internet, you are increasing the chance of it getting noticed.
Now, we have an existing blog post on how you can even get free traffic to your business
(businesses like Affiliate Marketing through YouTube channel) by using online directories
that have a minimum of 12 million monthly visitors.

23. Imagine how such a number of visitors can boost your watch hour on your YouTube
channel…
However, read on to find out how you can get this done.
Step 9: Become a YouTube partner
YouTube Partners are YouTube members who have monetized videos with a large number
of viewers. Partners gain access to more content creation tools and can win prizes for the
number of viewers they have. Partners also get access to much more community support
and tips.
You can apply for a YouTube partnership at any time through the YouTube Partner page.
In order to gain access to the most powerful Partner programs, here is a guide:

24.  If yourchannel haspreviouslybeeninYPP: When youreach the program threshold, your
channel will be automatically re-evaluated under the new criteria. You can checkyour
monetization status at CreatorStudio >Channel >Monetization.
 If yourchannel hasnever beenin YPP: Follow the 4 steps to join the YouTube Partner
Program from youraccount in Creator Studio. Onceyour channel reaches the program
threshold, you’ll be reviewed to join.
Step 10: Increase your YouTube revenue with affiliate
marketing
“Affiliate marketing” means selling products in exchange for a commission.

25. Hundreds of thousands of companies offer attractive deals to affiliate marketers who
promote their products/services.
What is YouTube Affiliate Marketing?
YouTube affiliate marketing is the process of creating videos and placing affiliate links in
the actual videos (via annotations) or in video descriptions, which includes links to
products you review and use in your videos that will track a purchase.
If someone makes a purchase using your affiliate link, you receive a small commission for
the sale.
You can Sell/Promote others’ products as an affiliate marketer, where huge companies,
Jumia, Konga, Amazon, and eBay, to smaller companies offer good deals to promoters.
Additionally, as a Nigerian… there are many affiliate networks you can join and I have
covered many of them in this post about affiliate marketing programs.
Here are some ideas to make money through YouTube affiliate marketing
 ProductUnboxing – In these videos, youcan simply open a product in a YouTube video,
showing viewers exactly what’s inside the packaging. Then provide the affiliate link to that
product website, where it is available forsale online.
 Reviews– YouTubereviews are another great way to relieve buying anxiety and provide an
affiliate link.
 Trainingvideos– Lastly,many affiliates make money by simply training viewers how to
use a complicated product, and then sending those educated leads to their affiliate link.
 Comedyvideos:Theseare funny videos made in an attempt to make people laugh. These
types of videos are very engaging and can drive massive traffic o your channel. E.g Mark
Angel Comedy, Ay Comedian etc

26.  News: News channel is another type of channel that is popular and can gain viewership in
no time. Youcan cover breaking news, multimedia, reviews & opinions, business, sports,
movies, travel and more. E.g Naij, Channels etc

lives.
At Digital Marketing Skill Institute, we strive to give back to the world and that is why we have
partnered with Health Emergency Initiative (HEI) by donating money from our income while
helping to build their donation funnel in order to spread the message and maximize impact
by raising funds to pay for more Indigent Emergency Patients Medical Bills to save more lives…
