#2. Paid Content
YouTube Paid Content is a video or channel subscription service which allows you to rent or sell your YouTube videos or channel. A paid video or channel requires from subscribers to pay to watch the video.

A YouTube channel owner describes the paid content terms and chooses the subscription type such as Renting, Purchasing, or Subscription.

#3. Fan Funding
YouTube allows you to get support from your fans. Fan funding is a feature which helps you in collecting the funds from fans who want to back you financially to show their support for your work and channel. Fan Funding requires a channel to enable the monentization feature to get started.


This is one of the coolest ways for YouTube users to get paid for their work, but it doesn’t mean it’s for everyone unless you fulfill the criteria.
YouTube Fan funding requires you to enable your Google Wallet to get paid and there are few more eligibility requirements for a user or channel to get started with fan funding. (see this).
#4. Joining the YouTube Network
One of the best ideas to monetize your YouTube videos is by joining the YouTube Network. YouTube Networks are separately operated video advertising and marketing networks which help YouTubers to monetize their videos through their network.

The YouTubers who don’t get selected or unable to fulfill the Partner Program criteria, they look for the best YouTube networks to apply and get selected.

These systems deal on revenue sharing basis with the YouTube content creators. All processing begins with the common understanding, if a network accepts the type of content that you are offering, the chances are you would be accepted in the network, of course if your channel is worth it.

It depends on the YouTube network that what type of market they have got and what kind of content creators they are looking for.

The famous YouTube networks are Fullscreen, Freedom, Machinima, Maker Studios, Above Average, and Righster.
#5. Getting the Sponsorships
Now here comes the creative part.

One of the incredible ways to monetize your YouTube channel and ultimately videos is by getting the sponsorship. A lot of YouTubers that feel deprived on not being from those select countries having YouTube Partnership program can actually start thinking about getting the sponsorships for their YouTube channels.

It’s a great way to monetize your videos. All it takes is, find the right company that takes you closer to the great sponsors for your channel.

The best thing is, your YouTube channel size doesn’t matter here. You might be able to get a sponsorship for your channel with 1000 subscribers, most of the sponsors look for a particular engaged audience in their niche.

So, if you have an engaged and enthusiastic audience on YouTube channel, it might work great.

This is getting more excited.

If you’ve decided to make money on YouTube, I bet you’re going to choose one of the ideas to monetize your videos – I’ve gathered all these methods to make money on YouTube, because I know people want to make money on YouTube and how difficult it is to make a useful and beneficial video!

I want to make sure that you get to find the best method to start making money on YouTube.

Another amazingly way to do that is by making ‘Video Reviews’ – I’m not sure that you know this, but I’ve seen many YouTubers doing this. You probably saw tutorial videos on YouTube on how to use that software or how to do a certain job on the internet.

But videos reviews would be another great way to get started. Once you have to create a certain type of audience that shows interest for your review, and the best way to do is get started with your reviews making.

You can choose the tech gadgets, PC softwares, games, fashion accessories, formal dressing, or anything you’re passionate about.


Latin Vixen is a famous YouTuber. She does this work amazingly. She normally reviews tech gadgets and PC utilities. Whenever her video comes out there is a chance that she might be telling you about any gadget, event, or travel experience.
#7. Creating How-to Guides
Trust me. How-to guide videos are extremely popular. People really want to know things. They are getting aware on a daily basis – they come to YouTube to learn more things.

If you know something, you got to be there to teach them, entertain them, and educate them.
Once you start doing that, you’d start getting some attention.

This is a bit tricky – you shouldn’t be mixing up a list of categories on your YouTube channel – it means you can’t review a latest iPhone app on your technology updates channel and a new ice parlor on the same channel.

Choose your nice and stick with it. Just like we do in Blogging. Got it?

James Stafford would always be talking about Website and Blogs development. If you check his YouTube channel, you will find a bundle of WordPress tutorials and guides. It means he has selected his YouTube channel niche and he is sticking with this specific category to meet the certain audience which is exactly everyone on YouTube should be doing.
#8. Promoting the Affiliate Products
The promotion of different relevant products is very common on YouTube – once you guide your audience doing a certain thing by showing exactly how to do this using the specific skills, tools, and measures, then you offer them the product/service under the video.

Using this promotional method you can either promote your client’s website or your own product – It’s up to you how do you utilize this opportunity.

What matters is, how do you engage and educate the viewers with your video?

Does your video make them happy and satisfied to buy the product?

This is something you have to figure out before making your video online.

A famous YouTube channel ‘Let’s Build WordPress‘ does this quite comprehensively – they educate viewers on WordPress and usually share great tools and products for WordPress users.

Yes. Using the description of videos.
You might come across the videos with no description at all. Not only does your video description make your video reachable on the YouTube, but it also makes sure that viewers get converted into paying customers.
#9. On-video Banner Ads in WordPress
Use your YouTube account + WordPress blog for monetization. If you create content on your blog with lots of videos, then you would love this idea of YouTube videos monetization.

Start displaying banners ads on YouTube videos in your blog posts or pages.

#10. Covert Branding

Once you become an authority. You never know what comes next.
