Make money advertising other products on YouTube
As the
biggest free video sharing platform in the world, YouTube is the best platform
to share your videos and get your desired viewers.
Although there
are still numerous video streaming platforms out there such as vimeo,
metacafe, hulu, screen junckies, and many more to mention but a few, to
me, YouTube stands out.
It may
interest you to know that about 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube
every minute! Almost 5 billion videos are watched on YouTube every
single day. YouTube gets over 30 million visitors per day. In an average month,
8 out of 10 18-49 year-olds watch YouTube. How cool will it be if you tapped
into those views to advertise products and/or service and make money doing so?
Who can make money advertising on YouTube?
- Affiliate Marketers: an affiliate marketer writes reviews, places banner ads etc about a product or products and gets a commission when that particular product is purchased via his/her affiliate link. You can read more about affiliate marketing here. This is a huge advantage for affiliate marketers as you can put links to the product(s) you reviewed in the description of the videos and even if you don’tget viewers to go and buy the products from your affiliate company, you may still make money using Google Adsense if an advert is placed during the video view.
- Content creators (such as writers, bloggers etc): content creators such as bloggers write articles on particular niches and post it on websites. He/she then places adverts about products and a purchase made through their link or coming from their website attracts a commission also.
- Product Manufacturers: in this context, making money with YouTube while advertising as a product manufacturer is risky. This is because Google may place adverts on your video which is about the same product that you manufacture and the viewer may prefer that product to yours therefore you will be losing potential customers. But if you don’t mind, you can go ahead with it.
- And almost everybody who can make a video.
