How to Make Money with YouTube

YouTube is one of the world’s most viewed sites and has millions and millions of consistent viewers. YouTube can be used as a way to help you make money with your online business.

How to Make Money with YouTube

Think of YouTube as a way to drive traffic to your website. If you make videos about your online business and the products you are promoting, you can instantly get free traffic to your site and in the long run – make money as a result of more visitors. You will do this by mentioning the name of your website in your video and also by placing a link in the video description to get viewers to visit your site.

For example, if you run a website about selling guitars, you can make videos where you will review different guitars and explain to people why they should buy that guitar from your website. If the viewer felt moved by your video, they will click your link, go to your site, and hopefully make a purchase. This method is widely used and can be used for any niche.

When you make your videos, you do not want to come of as a sales person. You want to seem like a genuine person who wants to help give people information about a product. If you present your product well, people may become committed to buy it, and the quickest way for them to buy the product will be to click on the link you provide and they will make a purchase from your site.

Now technically, you are using YouTube as a middleman to get traffic. YouTube does not directly earn you money. It is a great tool to take advantage of, and of course it is 100% free which I know is a plus in every one’s book.

What You Need to Begin?

All you need is a video camera and some decent film editing software.

1. It helps if you have a high definition camera because it makes you look more professional. Often times if people watch videos with low production quality, they will stop watching it.

2. Film editing/production software is a must. I cannot emphasize this enough. You cannot just make a video by just having the camera on your face the whole time. You will need editing software to add an introduction, diagrams, pictures, etc. to your videos. If you do not have good video editing software already, get some to have quality videos. I use the Corel Photo & Video Pro X3 Bundle
because it is easy to use and is one of the least expensive professional software’s. Some other good programs are: Adobe Premiere Elements 8
or iMovie. Take your pick, and it will serve you well.

In Conclusion

Use this method of making YouTube Videos as another way to drive traffic to your site to boost your sales. This method will only help your goal to make money online, so give it a try today.
