Im looking for suggestions on monetizing a youtube channel with 10,000,000+ views. I am looking for ideas on how to make some real money off it. Its a comedy channel featuring a foul mouthed puppet and his adventures on the street.

    Sounds funny.

    Do you have Adsense enabled on your videos?

    Also, you could become an affiliate for Amazon and promote DVDs etc. Better yet, your own stuff?

    Why not an entertainment offer?

    Is it an original character? If so, I would look at leverging that into a full fledged, major network entertainment deal, such as that annoying Fred character from YouTube got wioth Nick recently.

    youtube partnership (adsense and those 30 second advertisements you sometimes see before a video) affiliate marketing, contacting businesses and ask if they want to sponsor your youtube video and you name them before and/or after each video. Or a combo of these.

    yes it is an totally original character ... some of the stuff is offensive but hilarious hence the buzz and following so far....

    We were thinking about creating a funnel for contests + cpa offers, and viral campaigns.

    Also was looking to do business Audio and Video Endorsements for like $20. So pay $20 and he does a quick 10 second promo. Even custom ringtones maybe for people.

    I would do youtube adsense as well as affiliate offers.

    You may try to get people to sponsor videos but that would only work if you have a large subscriber base.

    Adsense if you can, but even better t-shirts. T-shirts make a killing on popular channels. I don't know why everyone seems to love them so much, but seriously it is the biggest passive money maker.

    I definitely agree with Chris. Just look at annoying orange and nyan cat and others. They are making a killing off merchandising. But I think there is only one catch to all of these suggestions, they only work if you continue to get views.... you should have started this thread a LONG time ago. What I use is a link in the description to an offer or promotion....but merchandise is like gold sitting there if you were to climb to 20-30 million views. IMO

      We already are moving t-shirts, looking for maybe that one nugget to breakout and really roll it in.

    It may have been an idea to monetize things BEFORE the 10 million views. 10 million views is great and all but it doesn't necessarily mean anything as to what sort of views you can expect from here on in.

      It's monetized but looking for more ideas. Per the earlier posts we get merchandising, just landed an agency deal and we get a nice viewership every episode we post. We produce about 25 episodes a season.

    The above ideas are great, create your own merchandise, T-shirt, mugs, caps and stuff... you can start by giving away some stuff to your followers by starting a contest to stirr their interest to get their hands on your merchandise before the launch. Adsense on the side won't hurt, with 10million viewers they won't mind some ads on your videos.

    You could also advertise some entertainment related CPA offers.
