Every day across the world, 5 billion YouTube videos are watched, averaging 40 minutes a session. Almost 500 hours of video are uploaded every single minute. Making money on YouTube is no longer exclusive to only more prominent influencers. Even you can make money on YouTube. Here is how.

Affiliate Links:
If you do in-depth product reviews or tutorials, affiliate links can be a massive source of revenue for you. You can go for associate partnerships with brands and give the purchase link in your video description box. Not just that, you can also then earn a small commission every time a viewer buys something of your link.

Earning from ads:
Ads are an essential source of revenue for many YouTubers. You can make money from ads before your video, channel memberships or Google AdSense. Aside from the other YouTube rules, you need to have a minimum of 1000 subscribers and 4000 video watch hours on your channel to get monetized.

Funding from your fans:
If you have a loyal fan base, you can set up a page on crowdfunding websites to help you fund your new videos. Platforms like Patreon help small creators survive while they create regular content. 

Get better with YouTube SEO
The best way to get paid is to have tremendous views on your video. This will attract sponsorships. So, to do that, you need to be at the top of your SEO game. Remember that YouTube is a search-oriented platform. Thus, keywords like How to, Review, Tutorial works really well. Use high-value keywords in your description, tags and title.

Be an Amazon Influencer
This program is getting more popular by the day. Though this program requires a minimum follower base on social media, you can still try your hand. Amazon pays an 8-10 per cent commission per purchase through affiliate links. You can review their products or create a registry and ask your views to purchase it from your links.
