How To Earn Money With YouTube Affiliate Marketing
YouTube is the second most visited website in the world, according to Semrush.
An affiliate marketer who isn’t on YouTube is as crazy as a business not being on Google.
Let’s just think about that statistic for a moment…
YouTube has 2.6 billion monthly active users. Billions of hours of content are consumed every, single, day. If you’re an affiliate marketer, why aren’t you tapping into this huge resource?
It might be because starting out on YouTube can seem daunting.
Where do you start? Creating good videos can only be done by professionals, right?
Not really…
Here is your first piece of good news if you are a total beginner: you don’t need to spend a fortune on a filming and editing kit! You can most likely film with whatever phone you have and edit on any computer. Of course, later down the line, you might want to upgrade all your tech, but right now you can get started without spending thousands on fancy cameras and microphones.
In this article, you’ll find out the pros and cons of YouTube as a platform for affiliate marketing, the types of video content you can produce, and how to make money with YouTube videos.
How To Do Affiliate Marketing on YouTube
You can easily do affiliate marketing on YouTube. You can’t, however, put affiliate links directly into your videos.
So, where can you put affiliate links?
- Link In The Description
The simplest place to put your affiliate links is in the YouTube description of your video. The classic ‘see links below’ line can be used in your video content to direct your audience to the links.
- Link In The Comments
You can create a pinned comment for each video you post. In that pinned comment you can add as many affiliate links as you like! Don’t go too overboard as too many will be overwhelming. This is also a good place to add timestamps to the links if you are showing off the product during the video.
- Link In Your Community
The community tab is an often forgotten resource for YouTube channel owners! It’s a great place to engage with your audience and also offer problem solving solutions (a.k.a your affiliate offer).
Bonus Location
There is one extra location where you can place links. You can add info cards in your videos (which appear throughout the video), as well as end cards. In both of these locations, you can add links, but not direct affiliate links. What you can do is link to the website associated with your business. Then, on your landing page, you can set up a funnel to direct users to your offer.
