A Few More Ways to Monetize Your Videos

Becoming a YouTube Partner is the most basic way to earn money as a YouTuber. But pre-
roll ads aren’t the only way to make money from YouTube. Here are a few other ways to

monetize your YouTube channel:

 Sign up your own sponsors.

If you’re really passionate about what you do, you’ll be able to build a YouTube following.
And the more people you get on board your channel, the easier it will be to get your own

sponsors.

There are plenty of successful YouTubers who take time in their videos to promote other

products and services – and each time they do, they earn money.

 Promote your own products and services.

This is where the real money is at, because you don’t have to split revenue with anyone

else. When you create and sell your own products, you keep the vast majority of the

revenue.vWhen you use videos this way, your videos are simply a form of free advertising.

 Build an affiliate relationship.
