After creating numerous successful youtube channels, I know that putting your videos on YouTube gives you an opportunity to easily make money online. 

In this article, I will be explaining the 5 ways you can make money on YouTube with your channel. 

Creating a youtube channel is one of the easiest ways for you to start making on YouTube but that’s just one thing. 

The other thing is, how exactly do you make money on YouTube? 

Youtube offers you a variety of ways to start earning money through your youtube channel and its content. 

There are 5 ways, in which you can start making passive income on YouTube. 

5 Ways to Make Money on YouTube. 

1. Youtube Partners Program. (YouTube Monetization) 
2. Sponsorship Programs. 
3. Affiliate Marketing. 
4. Sell Your Products. 
5. Patreon. 

1. Youtube Partner Program. 

Youtube and Google make it easy for you to make money online by joining their partner program. 

If you hit youtube partners program requirements, it means that you are qualified for youtube to place Adverts on your channel. 

If you ever watched a video on YouTube before, you must have seen adverts on some of these videos. The owners of videos, if they have enrolled in the youtube partners program, will be paid by YouTube for displaying these ads on their channels. 

To meet the requirements for the youtube partners program, your Channel must have 4000 watch hours and a minimum of 1000 subscribers. If you meet this, you are ready to start displaying ads and making ad revenue from YouTube and Google. 

2. Sponsorship. 

If you get sponsorship on your channel, this means people are paying you to talk about their products or services. 

This is usually easier if you get a lot of views on your videos, and have a huge subscribers count. 

Businesses and even individuals can reach out to you, instead of going to YouTube directly, they strike an agreement with you to create content about their products or services on your channel. 

The amount of money you can make depends on the agreement you have reached with these persons, and the number of persons that come to you to make sponsored videos about their products or services. 

This is akin to influencer marketing. 

3. Affiliate Marketing.

If you use your Videos for Affiliate Marketing, you can make money online by helping other people sell their products. 

You can make dedicated or related videos to software, services, applications, businesses, etc. 

The trick is that you must have joined the affiliate program of these businesses, and these businesses will pay you commissions for bringing them sales. 

You get a dedicated affiliate link that tracks all the sales that come through your channel, and the due commissions are paid. 

You can put the affiliate links in the description of your videos, and make sales. 

4. Sell Your Products. 

If you have a physical product, services, digital products, or even webinars, your youtube channel is one of the easiest ways to sell them. 

Youtube is a search engine, and an organic way to sell your products for free. 

You can sell your own courses on your channel too. 

5. Pateron. 

This is yet another way to make money online through your channel. The trick is that you turn your channel into a membership type of site. 

Loyal followers who want to support your channel can make donations or even buy your membership perks. 

This is a cool way to make money with your youtube channel… However, this works best for people with a large number of subscribers and a loyal audience. 

Conclusion. 

Making money on YouTube is by far one of the easiest ways to make money online. 

The thing with YouTube is that these earrings are recurring for a lifetime, or until your channel gets terminated. 

Monetizing your channel can be done by joining the YouTube Partners Program. By sponsorships. Through affiliate marketing. Through selling your products or services, and through Patreon. 

Good thing is, you can use all the means above to Monetize your channel. 

Your youtube channel gives you an unlimited chance to make a lot of free money on the Internet.
