Do you want to generate a passive income from you YouTube videos? The beauty of a
passive income stream is that you make money on autopilot. In this video I'm
gonna share with you four strategies to generate a passive income on YouTube
Hello my name is Herman Drost from drostdesigns.com if you want to grow
your audience on YouTube and generate traffic leads and subscribers on
autopilot hit the subscribe button or hit the bell notification icon. So what
is passive income? This is where you generate revenue on
autopilot without trading time for money it means you can make money while you
sleep. Sounds good doesn't it but can it really be done? Here are the four
strategies to generate a passive income on YouTube
1. Earn Commission's as an affiliate this is where you promote other people's products and you earn a
commission for example you can find a product on jvzoo
that relates to the niche of your channel you then request an affiliate
link a good commission to shoot for is 50% or higher so if the product sells
for $100 you earn a commission of $50 next create a review of the product and
add a call to action at the end of your video the call to action should explain
to your viewers why they should click on the link in the description below your
video if they purchase a product through your affiliate link you get paid a
commission keep in mind that if your review video is well optimized for the
search engines and remains ranked on the first page you'll continue to receive
commissions from the video whether you're sleeping sick or on holiday
2. Generate leads to sell your products and services. Almost 5 billion
videos are watched on YouTube every single day this gives you a great
opportunity to capitalize on the traffic that it generates you simply create a
video or a series of videos that solves people's problems you then offer a free
report or cheat sheet they can download at the end of the video in exchange for
their email address next you create a series of follow-up emails using an
autoresponder like Aweber to provide more in-depth information and recommend
your products and services for example I offer a free cheat sheet at the end of
my video that helps youtubers evaluate their youtube channel in the follow-up
emails I provide more information about how to grow your YouTube channel and
invite people to become a member of my youtube marketing course the more videos
I upload the more leads I generate and the more money I make
3. Paid sponsorships. This is where a company
will pay you for giving them a shout-out in your video or adding a link in the
description to their company for example you may receive recurring payments every
time you upload a video that mentions their name here's a video from Lehner's
text tips where who promotes the Dollar Shave Club the interesting feature about
this video is that the Dollar Shave Club doesn't even relate to the content in
his video the best way to get a sponsorship especially for product
reviews is to reach out to the brand or business to see what you can do for each
other keep in mind you need a substantial number of videos on your channel and
great content for a company to work with you.
4. Adsense Revenue. I saved this strategy for last because it typically
generates the least amount of income compared to the first three strategies
this is where you allow Adsense ad banners to be placed on your videos when
somebody clicks on the ad banner or watches it for more than 30 seconds you
get paid keep in mind you'll only earn a few dollars per thousand views typically
known as CPM so you'll need to get millions of views on your videos to make
a few hundred dollars per month click the card icon to learn how to monetize
