    Putting an annotation on it with your website link is best - I would direct to a squeeze page to build your list instead of just directing to an affiliate link.

    Youtubers aren't the type that would be overwhelmingly receptive to those.

    You could also put youtube ads, but with those types of hits, it will be costly.

          Well what type of people would be more likely to click on funny animal videos?

          Maybe people who own pets? People who are animal lovers?

          I'd get an offer up there for something related to pets.

          If it was my video that is.

    Why not just put adsense on it? Sounds like the easiest thing to do if they're not wanting to start a website/create offers around the video.

    A lot of people use CPA offers, with some generic offer like a Wal-Mart gift card or free food at a national brand restaurant chain.

    To monetize your popular YouTube video (or to help your friend do so), if you have an authority website, then put a link to that site in the description. Put AdSense for hosted content onto the video if possible. Those to things are how I would try to monetize a popular video.

    Also keep in mind that viral videos can just as quickly go un-viral. Does anyone watch that gangnam style thing anymore? So, do the suggestions above, but watch the views carefully. You may need to switch your efforts over time, and at some point it will be all over, time for the next viral video.

      Yes, LOTS of people are still watching Gangnam style. It hit 1 billion views around Dec. 21 and now has 1.27 billion. That means that it's gotten over 250 million views in about 6 weeks.

      Actually I think they've made it easier nowadays, I have a video from one of my sites up there and It has about 10k views. A day for some months ago I got a message if I'd like to monetize my videos. I've had an Adsense account for a long time and it brings in some money, don't know if that matters.

    The best way for you to get this monetized is through adsense.

    If the video already has 3+ million views, they should have been asking this question back when it had about 10,000 views.

    I've had videos go like this and then the views start to fall down quite quickly. Nothing stays viral forever.

    People say CPA offers but it depends what country your viewing audience is from. Most CPA offers only target one specific country so you would be missing out on monetizing all the visitors from other countries.

    As someone mentioned, they should sign up for youtube partner. Nowadays anyone qualifies, just need an adsense account.

    You could even sell or rent out the video. There maybe are people willing to pay for this kind of traffic!

    Take use of the "monetization" option of Youtube and collaborate to split Google Adsense funds that show on the beginning of your friend's videos.

      Oh my that's hilarious. It's only the most viewed youtube video of all time.

      but yeah, I'm pretty sure they're "watching the views carefully" so they can get to work on the next video.

      ha ha ha

    Well, it depend on how much money you want, how fast you want the money, and how much capital do you want to invest in this.

    First, if you think you can pull a miracle from this viral videos, save your money to make a special item, then sell it. You can try tshirt, mug, or just simple sticker, see Honey Badger for an example.
    Second, if you want fast money, just register to the YouTube official advertisement.
