Brief step-by-step instruction for those who intend to make money on their videos using YouTube.

The article is large and consists of two parts:

1. How to create a channel on YouTube to make money
2. How to make money on Youtube

But first, a warning that will open your eyes to making money on YouTube and probably won’t appeal to many.

I won’t repeat what YouTube is, how many hours of videos are uploaded to it every minute, and how many millions of dollars some channel owners earn on YouTube.

I will only say that in any business that requires creativity, only those with talent can make money.

Why? Because your YouTube channel is your personal Hollywood.

In Big Hollywood, dozens of films are created every year, but barely one in ten becomes famous. Most films barely make back their budgets, and some don't even make it to the big box office. But Hollywood employs specialists, talented scriptwriters, directors, and actors.

You will have to create and publish more videos on your channel than all of Hollywood. You will have to be a screenwriter, a director, an actor, and an editor - in a word, a person with multifaceted talent.

Because the videos on your channel should be interesting

If your videos are uninteresting, they simply won’t be watched. They won’t watch, which means they won’t subscribe to the channel, won’t like, write comments - they’ll simply leave the channel.

And no amount of tricks or tricks can force you to force people to watch something they are not interested in.

Therefore, before creating a channel and dreaming of making money on YouTube, you need to find your talent and learn how to make interesting videos.

And you also need to be patient and persistent. Because a YouTube channel is a project for many years, perhaps for life. The first results will be noticeable in a few months. And if you abandon the channel after a year, is it worth starting?

And further. Youtube has passed its peak of popularity. The outflow of users to today's more popular projects has begun. The number of restrictions for channel authors and requirements for video quality is growing. Making money on YouTube is no longer as easy and fast as it was five years ago.

If you are still ready to create and develop your channel on YouTube, then there are two big parts waiting for you:

1. How to create a channel - it will take 10-15 minutes and
2. How to make money on YouTube, the main ways.

How to create a channel on YouTube to make money

Registering a YouTube account

Access to everyone Google services occurs through a single account. To get a Google account, just register Mailbox at gmail.com

Click To come in. That's it, the channel has been created, you can start designing and configuring it.

Channel design

Your channel should look professional. To do this, add a logo, header and trailer to it.

If the channel is intended to promote yourself as an expert, use your professional photo as a logo. If it’s thematic, choose an image that reflects the essence of the channel and keep in mind that the logo will be round.

The logo can be added in the section Channel > Form style. Click the button Add channel logo and select a picture on your computer.

For the header you need a high-quality picture in size 2560 x 1440 pixels, revealing the theme of the channel. Keep in mind that on computers and smartphones only the middle part of the image measuring 1546 x 423 pixels will be visible, and it will differ on different monitors.

A trailer is needed to briefly tell a viewer who comes to your channel for the first time what your video content is about and to encourage them to subscribe. A channel trailer is like a movie trailer: it is needed to interest viewers.

First, you need to upload a video no longer than 2 minutes long. Then in the section Channel > Recommended Content click the button Select channel promotional video. Check the box in the pop-up window Allow my channels and videos to participate in the program and press the button Accept.

Then select a video shorter than 2 minutes and click the button Save.

The trailer will only be seen by users who have not yet subscribed to your channel. Subscribers are invited to watch a recommended video.

Channel setup

Create playlists - these are sections or headings of your videos.

Go to the section Video manager > Playlists and press New playlist. Enter a title and description for the playlist, trying to use keywords. For a channel, 5 to 10 playlists are enough.

You can select channel settings that will make it easier to download videos. Go to the section Channel > Additionally > Account information, indicate the country and list, separated by spaces, keywords that reflect the topic of the channel. They will help attract targeted visitors to your channel. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

In field Name Enter part of the title that is common to all videos. You can use the channel name or keywords.

In field Description You can enter the general part of the video description. This could be, for example, a list of your playlists with links to them, links to your other channels, social media accounts, websites, etc.

In field Tags list key phrases and words on the topic of the channel. Phrases of two or more words must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Then check all the boxes and click Save at the top of the page.

In general, the channel is ready to launch. Now you need to shoot and publish interesting, exciting videos at least 2-3 times a week and no more than 2-3 times a day and promote (not to be confused with promotion!) the channel.

How to make money on Youtube

1. Earning money in the Youtube affiliate program

This is how the Youtube affiliate program works. This is the simplest, but least profitable way to make money on YouTube.

By becoming a member of the affiliate Youtube programs, you can earn money without even thinking about monetizing your videos. Everything is already built into YouTube.

However, not every channel owner can connect to the YouTube affiliate program. After a recent scandal, YouTube employees manually check channels for compliance with YouTube rules, copyright compliance and the absence of “bad” content.

And in order to save themselves from unnecessary work, they no longer accept new channels into the affiliate program. And rightly so. About 90% of channels on YouTube are unfinished and abandoned channels that the authors have not visited for years, as well as empty ones or with inflated subscribers.

In order not to delve into this garbage, YouTube only accepts into the affiliate program channels that have gained at least 1,000 subscribers and have at least 4,000 hours of video views.

This way, channels that are overused and uninteresting to viewers, on which there is simply no one to watch advertisements, are cut off.

How to join the Youtube affiliate program

First you need to confirm that the channel belongs to you. Go to the page Creative studio > Channel > Status and functions and press the button Confirm.

On the next page, enter the code that will be sent to you via SMS.

When the channel is confirmed, in the section Status and functions A checkmark will appear under the channel name Confirmed.

Then you need to link your YouTube channel to your Adsense account. If there were no violations of YouTube rules on your channel, it already has at least 1000 subscribers and at least 4000 hours of watching your videos, then the Monetization will be written Maybe.

Click the button there Turn on. Now you need to complete three steps to enable monetization.

Step 1. Accept the terms of the affiliate program - click the button Begin. On the pop-up window Apply for monetization check all the boxes and click I accept.

Step 2. Link your Adsense account to the channel - click the button Begin. On the next page Monetization click the button below Further. On the Adsense program page, click the button To come in. Then indicate what language your channel is in and click the button Save and continue. On the next page, enter your information - first and last name, your mailing address, phone number and time zone. Check which notifications you want to receive from Adsense and click the button Send a request. On a pop-up window with General provisions and Adsense terms and conditions, check the box I accept the agreement and press the button Accept.

All you have to do is wait for your channel to pass manual verification and be approved. This may take several days.

On email you will receive a notification with your Adsense account ID. You can use this account to earn money on other channels, as well as on your websites.

According to the rules Google account in Adsense individual can be only one.

How much can you earn in the YouTube affiliate program?

Earnings in the Youtube affiliate program are determined as the product of the number of clicks on ads and the cost per click.

The more viewers on the channel, the more videos are watched and the more clicks. It's clear.

On channels with a frivolous, entertaining theme, viewers react sluggishly to ads, so there are few people willing to place ads there, there is no competition, and advertisers set a minimum bid per click.

On channels where a solvent audience “lives”, for example, automobile, real estate or business channels, there are much more people willing to show advertising. There is high competition and advertisers are forced to charge hundreds of rubles per click just to beat their competitors and show their ads.

So, if you use income per thousand video impressions (views) for comparison, then on entertainment channels it can amount to fractions of a ruble, and on business channels hundreds of rubles for every average thousand views.

2. Earning money from selling affiliated products and services

Another way to make money from your videos, often more profitable than earning money from the Youtube affiliate program, is to participate in other affiliate programs.

For example, commodity - these are numerous online stores, CPA - networks. Or info-affiliate programs that sell all sorts of courses and trainings. Or in affiliate programs of services, for example, providing services for setting up contextual advertising.

Such affiliate programs pay either a percentage of the order value or a fixed amount for each order. You just need to make sure that your viewer wants to go to the site using your affiliate link.

Your viewers will probably want to see a detailed analysis of the product, right down to its opening, comparison with analogues and, most importantly, why this product is more profitable than others and why it is worth placing an order right now.

Only members can do this affiliate program Youtube. To do this, you need to add and confirm your site in the section Creative studio > Channel > Additionally > Related website.

You can then create tooltips and end screens with a link to your site. All that remains is to create individual pages— redirects to redirect visitors to your affiliate links.

In fact, redirection is prohibited by YouTube rules. However, there is still no information that YouTube punishes for this. To reduce the risk, you can open partner sites on your site using a frame.

To do this, make pages like tovar1.htm

And put the following code in them:
