      I don' t think adsense is a good idea . You need a boat load of traffic bef0re you make any decent income

      My suggestions are for the the best possible monetisation technique are

      1. your own product because you get 100% commisions on what you make

      2.An expensive affiliate product that e.g seminars ,workshop, franchises

      3.Your own seminars, webinars and workshops , which you can sell as a product latter on if you want

      4. CPA offers related to your niche


      Much love

        If you're getting decent traffic to your video use a simple CPA offer. A email/zip submit is what I find to convert the best. Put that link into your description as well as throughout the video to remind people where you want them to go. Be careful though, I find that if you put the link into the video too soon it can sometimes decrease CTR or how long they stay on the video.

        Also, check out promoting some Clickbank products. I haven't done this in a while and have been focusing on CPA offers, but Clickbank offers convert very well with Youtube, especially if you're doing a review video.

        You could also consider sending your traffic from Youtube to a capture page and begin building that list.

        Personally, I would really just focus on these! Trial and error until you find what works best! Optimize them and scale them up! Remember, it's not always how good the video is, but how many video you have out there. Hope this helps!

          Thanks.
          I have been trying out with CPA offers without much success. Maybe it be be the CPA company that i am using (Using Adscend Media presently). If you wouldn't mind, which CPA company do you presently use?

    YouTube (in my opinion) isn't the best place to promote anything besides Entertainment (unless you got in when YouTube first launched). I just know that whenever I go on YouTube... it is to watch music videos or "youtubers" and just have fun. I have never been on YouTube to go shopping however some people may search "way to make money online" however I doubt searches are being done for products, especially ones they have never heard about before. The closest you can get to "product promotion" videos are actual reviews... Just recently I watched a review on a new USB Microphone (lol) but the video wasn't trying to sell me anything. I could see it being EXTREMELY easy for Big YouTubers to be successful in IM... but starting from scratch, and especially now with all of the videos uploaded every second and how videos are being pulled down for the littlest reason(s), it is nearly impossible.

    But, I am just being pessimistic I guess. I mean, it is free advertising and you never know until you try! Good luck!

    Well you can use cpa or ads and promote them in your video. but it all depends on the content of the video. As long as its not offtopic you wont have any problems.

    The first line in the description should go to an offer. Make sure it's related to the video and choose an offer from Clickbank or a CPA network.

      No, I doubt it's the network that you're using. They usually all have pretty decent offers. I currently use two different networks, Peerfly and EWA. Just keep playing with youtube and see what works. I wouldn't completely knock it out the water because it does convert, maybe not as high as you would like it to at times, but it converts. Be creative! Also, make sure your video is worth watching! If it's crappy and boring to you, then it's probably crappy and boring to someone else too.

      If youtube just isn't working for you there are many other free traffic sources that you can pursue.

    The YouTube traffic is best for monetizing obviously you should monetize it by promoting your niche related products. By creating a landing page/review page you can able to promote such products.

    Thanks

    We are seeing a lot of our publishers at PeerFly promoting our offers using YouTube. It's critical that the offer is related to the video. Also, you'll see much better results with your own domain related to the video too rather than some random bit.ly link
