The question is How Do You Make Money on YouTube? (Beginners Guide)

It is now time to enjoy the exciting part-earning.

The earning on YouTube is possible in a large number of ways. Allow me to describe the most simple ones.

1. Ad Money/YouTube Partner Program.

This is the primary source of income to YouTubers.

To qualify, you need:

• 1,000 subscribers
• 4,000 watch hours (last 12 months) OR
• 10 million Short views (Past 90 days)

Upon acceptance, YouTube will place advertisements on your videos and pay you.

This milestone can be achieved within 3-6 months by many beginners provided that they upload regularly.

2. Affiliate Marketing (No Approval Needed)

This is among the easiest methods of making pre-monetisation income.

You just:

• Apply to affiliate programs (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Awin, etc.)
• Get product links
• Include them when describing your video.
• You will get a commission when individuals make purchases with your link.

As an illustration, on making a video of cooking, you can add the links of utensils you use.

3. Brand Deals

After your channel has reached a certain size, you will have the companies that contact you to advertise their products. These deals pay very well.

Brand collaborations can result in revenue even in small channels of 5,000-10,000 subscribers.

4. YouTube Shorts Fund & Bonuses

Viral short bonuses are common at YouTube. You can be rewarded in case you post entertaining or handy Shorts.

5. Selling Yourself as a Digital Product.

This is not a requirement, however, once your channel is large, you are able to sell:

• E-books
• Courses
• Templates
• Diet charts
• Crafts

This is additional revenue beyond YouTube ads.
