Effective USe of YouTube to Promote Blog

8 replies
A couple questions here....

So have been embedding YouTube videos on my site, that are uploaded from other users. Trying to make the videos relevant to my content.

1) Can you monetize a YouTube channel?
2) Can you put other peoples' videos on your YouTube channel and then embed them in your blog?

    1. Yes it's easy to monetize a Youtube channel. You can activate it instantly just go to your youtube channel settings. However to actually make money from that it will take a lot of time and or very good content.

    2. I would not use other people's videos unless you have permission that's considered stealing...(copy written material)

    I hope that helps and good luck.

      Is it "stealing" if an I take any video from YouTube and embed it on my blog. For example, if I write a post about Peking duck in China and then find a relevant YouTube video and then embed it on my blog, is that "stealing". Is there any consequence to that? Legal, financial, or moral?

        No it is not stealing. You Tube is a shared video site and people want you to share their videos all over the Internet. I dream of a video of mine going viral someday and getting over 1 million views. Maybe even make it on Fox and Friends or The Today Show.

          Using videos like youtube to promote blog or services is very helpful and effective as I have witnessed how I got more visitors in my blog and customers to the services I offered. Videos looks interesting compared to write-ups and it entices people to really spend time watching the video with your products or services being featured, however, make that your videos are of a good quality.

    a) The trend been ongoing for somewhile by using vlog where people use video with blog to monetize and seem more people getting success with it compare to successful blog writer.

    b) If you are in China , I believe you will face the different legalistic while as I been thought that China usually have more freedom and the copyright issues are not that strict in China. You better check with it .

    you can monetize your youtube channel, but check the list of countries that can do that. for example, Romania is recently added to that list.
    you can embed any video you want, but is nice to mention the author
