So now we will be discussing the ways by which you can from your YouTube channel….

Google AdSense:

Google AdSense is the Ad service by Google which provides advertisement solutions so as to advertise your stuff on the internet. It is the most sought after Ad service as it targets customers by reading the cookies which it reads from the users.

Do you remember the times when you searched for something on the internet and then all of a sudden you started seeing related advertisements popping out of nowhere? This happened because, Google read your cookies and it showed you just the ads you wanted.

And guess what? Since YouTube is a part of the Google universe, Google AdSense can also provide Ads which you can put up on your videos so as to earn that income.

However, the are some disadvantages of using AdSense on YouTube if you own a serious business out of YouTube.

1. They distract or frustrate your viewers at times.
2. The income generated is too less.
3. They navigate your viewers away from your video.

So there are other ways which are unconventional for many, but work way better than the AdSense.

The ways that work better than AdSense are…

Affiliate marketing:

Affiliate marketing is the process in which the company gives you links to buying their products or services. If people visit their website via the links you have put up on your website, you get a percentage of commission on the purchase they make.

Affiliate marketing has been a great source of income for website owners. Apart from Ecommerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart, there are many other websites that offer affiliate marketing programs.

You can do excellent product reviews for the products you use yourselves and also unboxing videos which are more popular with the technology firms. Then put up an affiliate link to buy the product. Then people buy it and you get paid.

Promotion:

Promotion of products or services through your videos is another great strategy to monetize your YouTube channel which is used by a lot of channels out there. This is the process where you wear a t-shirt or use a product of the company which you are promoting in your video. You get paid for using that product in your video.

There is a word of caution here as… this is not the method you may want to use if you are just starting out with your YouTube channel. No company will want to promote their products on a channel which has single digit views and subscribers.

So before using this strategy, make sure you have a loyal fan base which will actually care about what products are you using in your videos.

Lead Generation:

This is the most successful way of monetizing from your YouTube channel. This can also serve as a great strategy so as to generate traffic for your website too. At the end of the video, you can ask the viewers to download a free product which you are giving away.
