-: Another method for earning 3 3
off your YouTube videos is affiliate marketing. 4 4
And this is the best way to start earning off YouTube 5 5
when you have very few views and subscribers. 6 6
Affiliate marketing is when you link to a product 7 7
in your description box. 8 8
And if one of your viewers clicks 9 9
on the link you provide, you'll get a commission 10 10
from the sale. 11 11
Beauty gurus and review channels are great examples of this. 12 12
They won't be getting much Google AdSense 13 13
at the beginning of their YouTube career, 14 14
and so instead they can fund their dream job, 15 15
(laughs) 16 16
by linking to the products they use or review 17 17
in the videos that they make. 18 18
To do this, you will have to apply to join 19 19
an affiliate program. 20 20
In the States, the Amazon affiliate program is the one I see 21 21
most often, but it's going to differ depending 22 22
on your country. 23 23
So what you do, is you Google "affiliate marketing programs 24 24
in your country." 25 25
You know, just whatever country you live in. 26 26
(laughs) 27 27
See if it's an option for you. 28 28
To be effective, you'll have to be linking 29 29
to products that are related to your video though. 30 30
You can't link to a tool belt, 31 31
(laughs) 32 32
when your video is about traveling. 33 33
What you can do is link to a camera 34 34
that you just did a review for on your tech review channel. 35 35
So just use your common sense, make sure it makes sense 36 36
to the viewer. 37 37
The more sense it makes, the better it will work 38 38
for you, and the more money you could make.
