00:00:02,490  -->  00:00:04,100
<v ->Another method for earning</v>
3

3

00:00:04,100  -->  00:00:07,510
off your YouTube videos is affiliate marketing.
4

4

00:00:07,510  -->  00:00:11,270
And this is the best way to start earning off YouTube
5

5

00:00:11,270  -->  00:00:15,200
when you have very few views and subscribers.
6

6

00:00:15,200  -->  00:00:18,740
Affiliate marketing is when you link to a product
7

7

00:00:18,740  -->  00:00:20,400
in your description box.
8

8

00:00:20,400  -->  00:00:22,350
And if one of your viewers clicks
9

9

00:00:22,350  -->  00:00:25,730
on the link you provide, you'll get a commission
10

10

00:00:25,730  -->  00:00:27,170
from the sale.
11

11

00:00:27,170  -->  00:00:32,160
Beauty gurus and review channels are great examples of this.
12

12

00:00:32,160  -->  00:00:34,180
They won't be getting much Google AdSense
13

13

00:00:34,180  -->  00:00:36,210
at the beginning of their YouTube career,
14

14

00:00:36,210  -->  00:00:39,416
and so instead they can fund their dream job,
15

15

00:00:39,416  -->  00:00:40,270
(laughs)
16

16

00:00:40,270  -->  00:00:43,850
by linking to the products they use or review
17

17

00:00:43,850  -->  00:00:46,210
in the videos that they make.
18

18

00:00:46,210  -->  00:00:49,880
To do this, you will have to apply to join
19

19

00:00:49,880  -->  00:00:52,120
an affiliate program.
20

20

00:00:52,120  -->  00:00:55,620
In the States, the Amazon affiliate program is the one I see
21

21

00:00:55,620  -->  00:00:59,210
most often, but it's going to differ depending
22

22

00:00:59,210  -->  00:01:00,620
on your country.
23

23

00:01:00,620  -->  00:01:05,230
So what you do, is you Google "affiliate marketing programs
24

24

00:01:06,250  -->  00:01:07,880
in your country."
25

25

00:01:07,880  -->  00:01:10,051
You know, just whatever country you live in.
26

26

00:01:10,051  -->  00:01:10,884
(laughs)
27

27

00:01:10,884  -->  00:01:12,890
See if it's an option for you.
28

28

00:01:12,890  -->  00:01:16,460
To be effective, you'll have to be linking
29

29

00:01:16,460  -->  00:01:19,800
to products that are related to your video though.
30

30

00:01:19,800  -->  00:01:22,209
You can't link to a tool belt,
31

31

00:01:22,209  -->  00:01:23,042
(laughs)
32

32

00:01:23,042  -->  00:01:25,840
when your video is about traveling.
33

33

00:01:25,840  -->  00:01:28,580
What you can do is link to a camera
34

34

00:01:28,580  -->  00:01:32,490
that you just did a review for on your tech review channel.
35

35

00:01:32,490  -->  00:01:35,980
So just use your common sense, make sure it makes sense
36

36

00:01:35,980  -->  00:01:36,940
to the viewer.
37

37

00:01:36,940  -->  00:01:40,300
The more sense it makes, the better it will work
38

38

00:01:40,300  -->  00:01:43,493
for you, and the more money you could make.
