How To Make Money With YouTube
- YouTube is
one of those
websites
that really
has taken
the internet
by storm. So
long as you
have the
right
equipment to
shoot a home
movie (and
it isn’t too
hard to come
by without
shelling out
loads of
cash
nowadays)
you stand a
chance of
developing
an existing
business or
starting a
new one,
purely by
signing up
to YouTube
and putting
those movies
online.
- But that
doesn’t
explain what
kind of
videos you
should be
making. Well
relax,
because that
is what you
are about to
find out.
There is one
very good
way to make
money using
this
website, you
are about to
find out
what it is.
- Let’s
start by
looking at
YouTube as a
way to bring
in more
business for
your
existing
venture. If
you can
shoot short
videos
related to
your
business
(making sure
you include
the URL to
your website
on the video
itself) you
can expect
to receive
more traffic
to your
website and
hopefully
more
customers as
a result.
- Let’s say
for example
you run a
website
which sells
all kinds of
craft items.
So you might
make a video
showing
people how
to make
their own
home made
cards. They
would then
check out
your website
to see what
you sell.
This process
can be
duplicated
no matter
what kind of
business you
have.
- The key
is to think
visually.
It’s no good
simply
sitting in
front of a
camera
telling
people about
something –
you need to
show them as
well. Always
remember
this when
you are
thinking of
ideas for
videos – you
will get a
better
response to
them if you
do.
- In this
sense you
aren’t
making money
directly
from
YouTube;
rather, you
are using it
as a way to
make money
elsewhere.
It is a
great tool
for
attracting
attention
and
funneling
people off
the site.
You cannot
actually
tout for
business
directly on
the site
anyway, so
you are
better off
focusing on
how you can
get the
attention of
people whom
you could
sell to.
Once you
figure out
how to do
that, they
will be more
than happy
to check out
your website
to see what
you offer.
- But what
if you don’t
already have
a business
to promote?
Well, there
are a number
of people
who have
been
successful
in promoting
affiliate
opportunities
on the site
– again by
inserting
the relevant
web address
on the video
itself (if
you go on
YouTube you
will see
this
appearing
time and
time again
as a kind of
watermark
effect) and
either
posting a
video that
is free for
anyone to
use and
post, or by
making their
own. Again,
so long as
you post
something
that is
relevant to
what you are
selling you
should get a
decent
amount of
traffic
flowing to
your
website.
- It might
take a short
while to get
used to how
uploading
videos to
YouTube
works
(particularly
if you
haven’t done
it before)
but once you
have done a
couple you
will get the
hang of it.
More
importantly
you will
have found
another
stream of
income to
add to your
internet
marketing
arsenal of
ideas!
- One final
point – be
original.
You can
choose
copyright
free videos,
but if you
can make a
fairly
decent one
yourself,
why not try
and attract
more
attention
with that?
