Phillip asks if someone wants to start
YouTube soon I'm curious to know more
about other ways besides google ads to
generate a bit of income as a content
creator in particular I would like to
know a bit about affiliate marketing
thank you so much for that question the
first thing I want to mention before we
get into the three tips is value first
so many people want to go in right for
the ads make the money right away it's
so important especially on youtube on
social media in general to always be
giving value to help somebody answer
someone's question inform or entertain
before you monetize your content one
hundred percent and as you mentioned
you're about to start YouTube soon you
know just so you can see our philosophy
here on video influencers we didn’t turn on
ads for about 16 months until after we
started and we published about a hundred
and fifty videos about through a week
during that time and so as Benji said
you know we want to have these
strategies we want it to be a plan but
definitely add value first and there's a
reason why we say on this channel we
help you build your influence income and
then impact we really believe that that
influence has to come first get those
subscribers get those views but saying
that let's jump into the three best ways
to monetize besides YouTube ads tip
number one affiliate marketing and for
those of you that aren't familiar with
that this is where you recommend a
product or service and when that
purchase is made you get paid to do that
absolutely so this is one of the best
ways a lot of youtubers starts to really
monetize their channel you can sign up
as an affiliate for Amazon Walmart
Target a reward style is a huge one in
the beauty space which is like a company
that oversees tons of brands inside
of it sephora nordstrom all kinds of
brands and so basically when you sign up
you apply to become an affiliate in one
of these websites then you can create
custom links with like your special code
in them include those in your youtube
description and if someone clicks that
link it makes a purchase you get a
percentage of that sale so if somebody
bought something for a hundred dollars
you might get six percent you might get
six dollars off of that sale so you can
see that a little by little a little
becomes a lot with affiliate marketing
and another thing i want to add about
this and why i love it is because you
can start doing it right away and we
were just talking about adding value
first well if you make one video about a
product and you do a good job describing
it and it goes viral you better believe
you want to put that affiliate marketing
link in your info box because you never
know what kind of sales that could
create and again this is something you
can do right away absolutely and then
the one thing that you want to make sure
you do though is that you always
disclose so make sure that you put in
the description link in the description
box that it is an affiliate link and we
have some other content and tips on our
channel that shares more in detail about
disclosing that so we'll make sure to
link that up in the description tip
number two brand deals and sponsorships
now if you've watched youtube and
there's a certain youtuber you watch a
lot you know that this is very common
and what it is is where a brand company
or business gives you a product or a
service to talk about and they sponsor
that video so they pay you money and
sometimes in the beginning one of your
smaller channel it might be just them
giving you the product itself but what
you're trying to shoot for is getting
paid financially and why why I love this
one is because there's a lot of
opportunity here and you know with even
more creators coming in you would think
that it's less and less in fact because
more people understand the impact that
influencers have on marketing and
advertising this is happening a lot more
in my youtube career in the last eight
years this has been very common every
single year and the opportunities
get better and bigger and guess what
you guys can do it too but again really
important that you're always adding
value no matter what your
is always adding value so that you can
build the trust and then when these
companies come to you and you talk about
their product or service people trust
you that you're you know talking about
quality things that they might want to
buy or look into one hundred percent and
we'll link up a couple different sites
that actually kind of facilitate these
relationships yeah one example is Fame
bit.com and what it basically is it's a
marketplace to connect brands with
influencers now we talked about you got
to build your influence first and so for
them the minimum subscriber amount is
5000 subscribers but once you have that
you can sign up on their site and then
you can see different products whether
in the beauty space fitness you know
random categories tech and you might
find products the brand wants you to
review you review it you might get some
money you can also do affiliate
marketing and I know we're not talking
about ads you can even do ads too and
that allows you to begin monetizing in
multiple ways around one video tip
number three selling your own products
and this is pretty self-explanatory
let's say you want to sell your own
shirts right say you want to create your
own product and get it manufactured and
sell it or even private labeling
something this is really powerful
because then you're promoting your own
brand so we were talking about a
Blogilates earlier and we had a cup that
she put her little saying on has some
tips for like health and it was a
Blogilates bottle so this is very
powerful a lot of success and again if
you're adding enough value to somebody's
life you can do this very early on and
one of the examples of a platform where
you can do this is etsy so what would
the links down below different
recommendations but I love doing this
for beginner and established creators
yeah our friend Alex Ikkon he did a five
minute journal he also did a
Productivity journal and so that was a
way to do your own product and another
thing a lot of people do is they do
educational products you could go to
udemy com skillshare and you can just
teach something you know how to do maybe
you help people's confidence may be
helping with fitness maybe you help them
with organizing their closet and you
turn that into an educational product
sell it for ten dollars on udemy or
twenty dollars on Skillshare or any of
these other sites these are the probably
one of the best ways because you have
control of your own brand you are able
to actually build out a business model
around your YouTube channel because you
never really want to rely on youtube ads
or affiliate marketing or really
anything else you kind of take control
back into your own brand in business and
again with this product with affiliate
marketing and sponsorships it's so
important that you're adding value to
somebody's life because the trust that
is the most important part and if you
have their trust not only can you do
these things but you can do so many
other things to be able to make money
off of your youtube channel but hey we
actually have an entire playlist on how
to make money on YouTube with a lot of
in-depth training videos so to see all
