Help! How can I make money from youtube - I have popular video

13 replies
Right basically I uploaded a music track from an independent artist in April and I did quite a few views. Now this artist is getting alot of radio plays now and since April its now got 125k views.

I think the video is getting like 1-3k views a day, I am not sure.

Is there any way I can make money from the video?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

    If you really are uploading actively videos on youtube, you can earn. First, You can link your website or blogs to your videos. Second, put your affiliate links if any so that the interested watchers will follow. Lastly, you may introduce your products to your videos. These are just some of the strategies how to earn on youtube.

      Depending on how popular your video is, and what niche it is in, you might want to consider trying to join the YouTube partner program.

      That way, you can get paid any time an ad is played before your video, or if anyone clicks on the ads within the video or to the right of the video.

      That's how all of these YouTube stars are getting paid. Plus sponsorships and things like that.

      But, for you I would consider going the YouTube partner route. Unless, you're in a very monetizable niche.

      Then, the game changes entirely. But the first step would be to put a link to your offer as the very first thing in the description box.

        Yep - if your going to be posting a lot of videos, and this is going to be a serious project, you should really consider applying to the Partner Program.

        The thing is though - You have to own global / worldwide distribution rights to every video you submit for revenue sharing. If you do not own the distribution rights, and the video is rejected for revenue sharing, the video is also removed from youtube.

            If all (100%) of the content in the video is your original production - you own the rights to it.

            If you did not make all of the content in the video - you will need to get a signed release from the owner saying you have permission to re-distribute the items. If you use someone else's music in the video, you will need to get a signed release form, if you use an image that does not belong to you, you will need to get a signed release form,,,,.

            If there is ever a question if you have rights to material that does not belong to you - that is where the signed release form comes into play. Then you can just fax, or mail a copy of the release form to youtube/google.

            When someone files a copyright claim on a video at youtube, the person that uploaded the video can file a dispute. This is where you show the release form that proves you have permission to use the material in question.

            I make all of the content in my videos - whether its an image, or the video itself, I film, produce, edit, upload all of my own content. As a result, I own all of the content in my videos, and nobody can make a copyright claim.

    If you get revenue sharing from YouTube for you account, YouTube will put ads on your videos. From this you can be receiving a few cents a click which could add up to a lot if you are receiving that many views. Goodluck!

    Depends on the type of traffic, if the traffic is about a particular topic, search for that topic on Clickbank and check the gravity and monetize it with a CB offer, if there is no CB offer, try searching for some CPA offer.

    Best of luck

      Most people offer a link to the ringtone of the song, in which they make a commission.
