5 Ways to Receive Payments (Monetization) From YouTube

YouTube is currently the largest online video platform. The opportunities to derive benefits from the content that we upload and charge through the video giant have also never been greater. YouTube’s most successful creators explore and combine multiple revenue streams, but there still seems to be a lot of confusion about how YouTubers generate profits.

To begin with, the one that is needed first is to build a faithful and committed public. If this is not done, monetization is essentially useless. Once you have the audience, your audience, then you need to make sure your account is in good standing and that it allows you to earn revenue within the YouTube settings.

Next, you have to associate the YouTube channel with the Google AdSense account, which is how YouTube offers its profits. With the settings adjusted, you can move on to exploring these five different ways of receiving payment for video content on YouTube.

1. Announcements: YouTube ads are the simplest method of monetization. This is probably what your company is already doing, or you will have at least seen these ads in other YouTube videos. In a nutshell, you are paid by the cab. Place relevant ads in or around videos uploaded to YouTube.

2. Donations: YouTube created a funding program in 2014 that allows creators to receive voluntary payments from their viewers and fans through Google Wallet. The viewer is offered the option of giving a YouTube user through a “support this channel” button that appears on a channel page or is inserted through the “cards” feature of YouTube.

3. Marketing: You can benefit from selling merchandise directly through merchandising annotations and cards on YouTube. For video producers and sellers of goods, this is an ideal choice for revenue so that viewers can use it directly by clicking on a video annotation or card that links to several external sales posts.

4. Sponsorships: YouTube does not allow the sponsorship of a brand, but does include the placement of products and endorsements, provided that they comply with its policy. In short, YouTube does not want viewers and users to feel cheated, so it wants creators to show up early on any business relationship they may have with a brand.

5. Content of payment: A final option is that users have to pay a fee to buy or rent their videos. Video producers can apply this to a single video or the entire channel and establish their own pricing structures. It is a traditional model used by Netflix, iTunes and Amazon in which users can watch their videos with an ad-free experience.

In order to apply this system, you must have more than 1,000 subscribers to the YouTube channel to use the paid content function and only be available in 16 countries. You can get full details of this feature by visiting YouTube on the paid content support page.

Similar to other sources of income, you must first determine if you have an audience that is willing to pay for your content. One suggestion is to offer free teasers or lessons in a didactic series and then charge the viewers of the remaining classes. It is a model similar to that used by Lynda.com, one of the largest online video training sites in the world.

It is perfectly acceptable for brands and sellers to experience and test some or all of these income options. You will have to calculate the costs, time and resources before making financial decisions.

Make sure that the income option makes sense for your brand and does not dilute any way. It is also important to keep the user experience well present; Think about how some of these options can affect this. Finding a good balance between providing useful content and making a profit could take some time, and some experimentation, but it can certainly be achieved with the right strategy.
