1. Affiliate marketing

Do you know? 99% of bloggers use affiliate marketing to earn extra income from their blog and also you can too. It's the best way to earn huge income from any platform including blogging, YouTube and Social media, etc.

The idea behind it is that you promote other people’s products, often through an affiliate network, earning a commission if people actually end up buying thanks to your marketing. It’s based on revenue sharing.

Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.

Before becoming an affiliate marketer, it’s important to know where to start. It’s all too easy to get the cart before the horse, and that metaphor covers a variety of scenarios. 

I will recommend you to choose your target niche first. Once done, You can Google for affiliate programs for that particular niche and then simply join it and that's It! Now you are an affiliate member of that merchant network.

How to use Affiliate Marketing to Earn Money from YouTube?

The simple answer is, Make review or compare video about the particular products related to your affiliate networks and then simply put the affiliate links on the description on your YouTube videos.

• If you are making review video about any products then It must be genuine otherwise It will not generate sales and If it doesn't generate sales, You will not get any commission from the merchant networks.
• If you are making a comparing video then wisely choose the clear winner with proper reasons at the end of your video so that your visitor can buy the products from your affiliate links without thinking again & again.

Affiliate Marketing Pros:

You can show your audience what you want. (Adsense gives you little choice regarding ads). With affiliate marketing, you can show your audience actual things you use and connect with them on a personal level. This will easily increase income through this source.

Bigger payouts are seen in affiliate marketing. You can get a higher commission from making an affiliate sale versus getting an ad click. The income will be extensive, and it pays you for years. It is the long-term money making source. Also, It works great even with low targeted traffic.

Affiliate Marketing Cons:

You (usually) have to actually be good at marketing. It is called affiliate marketing for a reason. If you are unable to sell the product/service by showing its value to your users and how it will benefit them, you will see no sales.

Less tailored options versus Adsense. When you do affiliate marketing,  you usually show off things that interest a certain niche of users. This means that users browsing your content who are not interested in your niche may not buy what you are showing off. With Adsense, as mentioned earlier, ads are tailored, resulting in more interest.

2. YouTube sponsorships

This is another popular way to earn money from YouTube. Getting sponsored by a brand means that you get paid to promote the said brand in your videos. This is how many YouTubers or lots of cool freebies earn money. 

But, It is only perfect for those YouTubers who have a decent amount of subscribers or following in their channels. If you are newbie YouTuber then first work on your YouTube channel and grow your YouTube channel.

When will I get Sponsors?

Don't worry about that! They will come to you in time so be patience and Work on your channel & grow it as much as possible. When your channel will start growing, you'll be receiving proposal emails for sponsorships. 

Businesses are looking to promote their products everywhere their targeted audience is spending time. And if your channel is one of those places, you'll get hit by proposals.

Some Key Points to Remember

Your YouTube channel should be about a particular niche. So, don't spoil your channel with irrelevant videos. Also, Post your videos consistently with a specific time interval. 

Sponsors will try to bend the collaboration in their favor. So you don't get dragged into something you are not comfortable with, it's best to set some rules for yourself that you are not willing to compromise.

You may find that sometimes businesses come to you with proposals for sponsorships but they are not at all relevant to your channel. If it's not relevant for your audience, don't do it.

It may seem like you give up an opportunity of making money off YouTube, but promoting irrelevant products will drive your subscribers away.

Don't accept an offer from the start. Usually, people start up with a smaller amount of money that they are actually willing to pay. Don't pass on the chance to receive more money.

3. Selling Your Own Products

You know already, When you monetize a video with AdSense then they pay us a fraction of a penny of what they make from an advertiser and On the other hand, Affiliate programs such as Amazon or Clickbank will give us a larger percentage of sales. 

But what if we wanted to make 100 percent of the revenue of the product we are selling and have full control of the money coming in? To do this, you need to sell your own products.

Imagine, You have created a mini online training program that you sell for $50. You will want to make a video that provides immense value and then at the end of the video pitch your course to get more value. 

At 1,000 views on that video, YouTube AdSense will pay about $1, but if you were only able to convince 0.5 percent of your audience to purchase your course (five viewers), you will make a total of $250 in revenue from your own product. Therefore, not many people are required to purchase your product to make more money than what YouTube will pay.

4. Sell digital products

In my experience, Selling digital products online are so easy nowadays. A digital product can be anything like Apps, Templates, Images, eBooks, Software or something else.

If you have expertise about any of these then you are one step ahead from other to earn money online and Of course, These are the products created by you so you will get complete 100 percent of the revenue of the product.

Most of the YouTubers are also making a huge amount of money by doing this but They don't over promote their products in the videos, but they mention them from time to time to draw viewers back to their website.

Selling digital products on YouTube is a perfect choice for Tech enthusiasts, YouTubers with programming skills, YouTubers with vision. If you are one of them then don't miss the change to generate a good amount of income from your products.

5. Offer services (Consulting)

Ultimately, the fastest way to make money on YouTube is to give a value of some kind. Uploading videos and hoping for the best is not enough. After gradually attracting your targeted audience, periodically pitch your consulting services for your viewers to receive even more value than what they are already receiving. 

Your goal should be to make your audience think, If I'm getting this amount of value from free videos on YouTube, imagine the amount of value I'd receive from a paid one-on-one consulting service. At that point, it would be a no-brainer to pay you for your expertise, knowledge and time.

In my experience, many creators who get started on YouTube believe that they just need to upload videos to YouTube, turn ads on and let the compensation roll in. This is only true if you are looking to make a non-sustainable passive income from your videos. 

If you are looking to grow a brand and a business, be sure to provide value and sprinkle in these other income streams.

Remember though, the only way each of these ways to make income with YouTube will be effective is if you provide value first, so let that be your focus and the compensation will come more naturally.

6. Renting Out Videos

Do you know you can also make money on YouTube by renting out your videos? Many people don’t know this exists.

To do this, you need to get good traffic to the video. When the video rank top on YouTube for a particular search or keyword, brands will contact you for link rentals.

Link rental is an arrangement where you give out your video on rent to be used by others for a fee. 

You still retain full rights to the content. This is a wonderful way to make money for anyone that has a video ranking top on a particular keyword or search.

YouTube provides a lot of income opportunities for people. But one important thing to remember is that the quality of your video matters a lot for popularity.
