- I'm gonna tell you ten different ways
you can make money on YouTube in 2018,
and we're starting right now.
♪ That's just how it is, and waiting on me ♪
- What is going on, my name is Nick from tubertools.com.
Welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here,
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos and all types of other
YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Number one: YouTube ads; we all know about it,
but it is a way to make money on YouTube,
so I had to get it out of the way.
Number two is Super Chat.
Super Chat can actually add up over the course of the month,
if you're doing a lot of live streaming on your channel.
Actually, you can do okay on Super Chat.
Especially if you have a sizable channel,
or you have something very special
that you can offer your viewers via Super Chat.
Also, if you have another way to make money on YouTube
that is not listed here, make sure you leave it
down in the comments for other people
that are gonna watch this video.
I'm gonna be pinning the best money-making tips, so,
make sure it's a good one.
Number three is affiliate marketing.
In most cases, you're gonna make a lot more money
off of affiliate marketing then you're ever
gonna make on ads, so look into affiliate marketing;
if you're not familiar with what affiliate marketing is,
in a nutshell it's basically to where
you find a product or service that
you can send your viewers to,
and if you're viewers sign up for that product or service,
then you are going to get a commission in exchange
for sending them there.
- [Crowd] Yeah!
- It's pretty easy to do the affiliate thing,
I mean it's almost like free money it's so easy,
but pretty much any channel on YouTube
can use Amazon.com, and at the very least
just let people know that
the gear that you're using and things like that.
And, over time it can actually generate
a decent amount of money.
Number four: services based around
the content that you create.
As an example, if you have, let's say, a fashion channel.
You can offer consulting for fashion.
If you have a channel teaching people about coding,
you can offer coding as a service.
If you know how to edit videos,
you can offer video editing as a service.
I mean, you're a YouTuber, you know how to edit videos;
you can at the very least offer that.
Or anything, really, based around
the type of content that you make, or,
as your channel grows, if you start letting people know
that you do know how to do other specific things
that maybe you're not exactly based
on the content that you make,
you can still generate some additional income
through services that people might hire you for there.
Number five: your own products
based around the content that you offer.
This can be physical products, digital products,
membership sites, things like that.
If you're a travel vlogger, for example,
you can put together guides based on
the specific places that you go,
and even though there's probably a million guides
that people can download,
the people that watch your content,
and that are into the things that you are doing,
they will want to know what it is that you recommend,
what it is that you enjoy doing
and what it is that you think they should do
when they go to that specific location.
Number six is crowd-funding.
Most of us are familiar with Patreon,
and we're familiar with how that whole thing works.
If you are not, then you might
want to go check out Patreon.com.
I'll actually put a link to them down in the description.
There is another service as well
called Partelo Where your viewers
can ask you questions and things like that.
They give a little bit of a donation,
and in return, you can give them a video response,
or a text response, or something like that.
Both of those services are extremely
easy to use and set up and all of that stuff,
and I will put links to both of those
down in the description below.
Number seven is sponsored videos.
You can get started with sponsored videos
at FameBit, you can get started with sponsored videos
at Grapevine Logic, and you can also get sponsored videos
through Socialbluebook.com.
I'll put links to all of those
down in the description below.
Now, with that said, there are barriers to entry
for FameBit; you have to have 5,000 subscribers.
However, that does not stop you from sending emails
to companies that you think are a good fit
for the content that you make.
Number eight: sending traffic from your YouTube channel
to a website that you own.
As an example, I send people to my website Tubertools.com,
and I just mentioned that at the very beginning
of my video because I'm going to test
how much more traffic this video sends
by adding that at the beginning of the video,
compared to me just putting it in the descriptions,
and just, you know, loosely mentioning it from time to time.
And, of course, I'll save that data for another video
where I can let you know how well that works, or not.
Number nine is an email list.
People that are watching your videos
are interested in a particular topic set.
And because of that, you can grow an email list
based on those viewers so that you can
recommend things to them in the future,
you can share industry news on
what's going on in the particular niche
that you happen to be operating in.
And, you can tie this in to affiliate marketing
that I mentioned earlier,
and, you can tie this in to launching your own products,
which I also mentioned earlier,
so that you can let your group that's on the newsletter
know about whatever it is that you happen to recommend.
Next up on the list is merchandise,
and there's a way that I want
you to think about merchandise.
Merchandise does not have to be your logo,
or anything specifically about your channel at all.
You can make T-shirts, mouse-pads, coffee cups,
all types of other, different merchandise
that has a theme around the type of content
it is that you create.
An example for this one would be
if you make makeup videos, then you can make
a whole T-shirt line based on funny things
that people that wear makeup would understand.
If you make videos about electric cars,
I'm talking to you Alex from E for Electric,
you can make an entire T-shirt based on things
that electric car people would find
funny or interesting in some way.
If you're a vlogger, making things that would suit
your audience would be a good fit.
The idea here is basically to know
who it is that you're making videos for,
and then making the merchandise around
their interests and the things that they might be into.
I have some more videos on making money on YouTube
I will put right up here; you can go check those out
if you would like maybe just a little bit more detail
into some of the things that I talked about here,
or, another spin on some of the stuff
that I talked about here.
And if you want to learn more about growing your channel,
making videos, and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by hitting the round subscribe icon
so you don't miss anything.
Thank you so much for watching,
I'll see you next time.
