Simply you will have to share affiliate link into the description box of your YouTube video and Facebook video or in a blog. If people click on your shared affiliate link, you will earn a commission from every click which is called PPC (Pay Per Click). Also, you will earn a commission from the CPM rate which is declared by the advertisers and you will generate revenue from each successful sale of the product that was promoted on the affiliate landing page. So using this method, you can make 2-3 times more than the first method.

To make money from the generated affiliate link, you will have to share the affiliate link on YouTube video description, Facebook video description or own website.

How much do YouTubers make using this method?
This method contains two types of income. One is initial income and the other is sales income. Initial income comes from the PPC rate and CPM rate. And the sales income comes from each successful sale of the product that was promoted on the landing page.
Now let me make this conception totally clear. If your level is basic, then you will make $1 USD for per 2000 clicks on the content affiliate link whereas the PPC rate for the basic level user is .05 ADC. Also, you will make $1 USD from the CPM rate for those 2000 clicks on the content affiliate link if the visitors landed on the webpage properly.
So in total, your initial income from the 2000 clicks will be $2 USD. To get the highest CPM rate, make sure that the visitors that are clicking on the affiliate link on your YouTube video description must stay on the landing page at least for 2 minutes. This types of affiliate network share the sales revenue equally to all the publisher if the landing page that was referred by the publishers contained the same affiliate advertisement.
03. Promote a membership site
The third best method to make money from a YouTube channel is Patreon or promoting a membership site. If your channel has 20,000 to 30000 subscribers, then it is the best way to make a huge amount of money from this method. Simply you just need to find out those websites that want to promote their business on your YouTube channel. Actually, it is almost similar to the content affiliate program.
How much do YouTubers make using this method?
The earnings from this method totally depend on the spending budget of the site owners who are about to promote their business through your YouTube channel. As most of the time, the site owners try to pay YouTubers a small commission for promoting their service. The only reason behind is that there are so many YouTubers who are always ready to do this type of promotion at a cheap rate. So, therefore it’s hard to make a big amount of revenue with this method.
04. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways that can help you to generate income on YouTube. All you will have to do is promote the products of companies on your YouTube video and share the affiliate link into the description box of YouTube video. You may join in Amazon or Alibaba to participate in the affiliate program. Also, there are several affiliate networks. But among all the affiliate networks, Amazon and Alibaba are the best and trustable.

You need to keep in mind that income from this method totally depends on the sales from the affiliate link. If no sale is generated through the affiliate link, then you will not make any revenue for promoting the product or sharing the affiliate link. So, to get the highest benefit from affiliate marketing, try to give a review of the product at the end of the video. As a result, people will learn about the product quality and they are going to purchase the product by clicking on the affiliate link that you shared into the video description box area.
05. Sponsorships or Brand Deals
Now the final method that I am going to discuss is sponsorships or brand deals. Sponsorships and brand deals are another great opportunity to make money from YouTube videos. For getting sponsorship of a company, you don’t need a big YouTube channel to get sponsorship. People have this kind of misconception that they need a big channel to achieve sponsorships from a particular company. To get a sponsorship from a company, you need to contact those companies that are searching for small YouTubers to promote their product or business through a particular YouTube channel.

Actually, the earnings from this method totally depend on the quality of sponsorship. If you have got the sponsorship of a big company, then it may be possible to make a big amount from the sponsorship. Otherwise, you won’t be able to make a big amount. But at the beginning of a YouTube career, it is very hard to get sponsorship of a big company. So my suggestion is that whatever profit you make from small companies, try to take the sponsorship of the small companies. As a result, at the end of the month, your channel will generate a healthy amount from those small sponsorships.
