The average number of users who watch youtube in the USA ALONE is around 128,000,000.
Obviously with that amount of users, there must be a way to make money off youtube, right ?
Well there is.
I got tones of e-mails, especially in 2016 asking me on how to make money on youtube.
Here are some of the questions I got from you guys -
” is there a way to make money with youtube without filming videos ? “
” how to monetize a youtube videos and make money with them?”
” do people actually make real money with youtube ? “
So not only i’ll answer these questions today…
I’ll even show you a way to make money on youtube by using other people’s videos (100% legal).
How awesome is that?!
Well, lets start with how making money on youtube actually works -
How Can You Make Money With Youtube ?
Here’s how it works.
- You upload a video.
- You get traffic to your video ( views ).
- You monetize this video ( i’ll discuss monetization later in this post… )
- Youtube /affiliate programs pay you money.
Pretty simple ? well there’s more to it. a lot more.
Lets break down the 4 steps to banking from youtube -
Step 1 : Uploading Videos To Your Chanel
I won’t discuss the technical stuff here. [ register an account, upload the video … ]
I’d rather talk about what videos you upload to youtube.
You have 2 choices -
1.Upload videos you filmed to make money
There are tones of videos you can film and might go viral on youtube- thus making you $$$.
Do you have any skill you can teach others ? you can create a “how-to” type video.
Or you can film yourself doing crazy sh*t, these go viral pretty quick.
But let’s say you don’t want to film videos, yet still want to make money with youtube, what then?
Good question 😉 keep reading…
2. How to Use CC [creative commons] Videos To Make Money With Youtube -
Creative Commons is a type of license that allows you to re-use the video.
You can use these videos, cut them, edit them and re-upload them as your own!
Mind blowing isn’t it ? haha.
I’ll explain.
Go to youtube, and in the “advanced search” tick the box that says ” creative commons (also marked CC) ” videos.
Obviously, there is the right way to do it and the wrong way.
If you’re serious about making money with youtube, I recommend taking the utube cash course.
It was built by an acquaintance of mine, I took it myself, and it will basically teach you this method from the ground up.
Alun made huge amounts of money on youtube ( I have seen a proof myself ) passively and is now teaching this to others.
Read more on Alun course by clicking right here…
Moving forward.
Now that you have the videos on your account, how do you get traffic to them ?
Step 2 : Get Traffic To Your Youtube Videos
Thats the tricky part.
Like the old saying ” without traffic, we perish ” ( just made it up… ).
You need to get views if you want to actually make money on youtube. period.
I don’t care how awesome your video is, if you won’t put it in front of enough people, you won’t make $$$…
There are tones of way to get traffic to your channel, there’s social media (works great with youtube), you can pay for traffic (ppc) or you can get free traffic ( blogs/ forums / all over the internet ? )
I can write a book about getting traffic, but obviously a blog post won’t do the trick.
I’m here to give you the concept of this method.
If you need a deeper explanation on different types of traffic and how to get a lot of it,
In Alun’s Youtube Money Making Course, he explains everything you need to know…
Lets keep going.
Here’s what we did so far -
- We uploaded videos to our youtube channel.
- We got traffic
Now how do we convert the youtube traffic to cash ? that’s where monetization comes in…
Step 3 : Monetize Your Youtube Videos
There are tones of ways to monetize your youtube channel.
You can use “youtube partners” program, which is basically google adsense.
Use the video editor in youtube to monetize, you choose where the ads apear to your viewers, and for every view, you make money.
Affiliates - I love this way because you can actually sell a software / product that has something to do with your video.
Lets say you upload a video about cats… you can use amazon affiliates and promote a link for cat food, or anything that has to do with cats.
Everytime someone will buy this amazon product, you get 4-6% of the sale !
Now imagine you get 1,000,000 views on youtube, ( which isn’t impossible, definitely won’t happen over-night but it can happen)
You can make thousands of dollars just from that 1 video.
There are tones of affiliate products you can promote as well, it can be digital products.
So if you’re uploading a basketball video, there are basketball training courses that will pay you to promote their course.
The list goes on… this is the easy part. and you can always e-mail me if you need help, but once you got the traffic, money will follow. trust me on this.
Last part - track and optimize.
Step 4 : Optimize & Track To Make More Money
After you got traffic to your youtube videos, and made ( or didnt ) money with your monetization method,
YOU MUST TRACK EVERYTHING.
What made you the most money ?
Which video got the most views?
Which videos converted ?
Which affiliate programs worked ?
Once you track, you can optimize your video to make you even more money.
Simply use more of what did work, and get rid of what didnt work.
Should I take a course or try it myself ?
Making money with youtube is something you want to look into.
People LOVE watching videos, and predictions show they will watch even more videos in the future.
While the method I showed you here might look simple, it can definitely be over-whelming.
There’s a lot to it.
You need to -
- choose the right videos ( research it properly )
- know how to edit them ( which is easy, but technical)
- know how to monetize them
- know how to get traffic to them
I recommend Ilun’s course ( watch the video below) simply because of the huge value you get from it.
The guy is awesome, he’s been doing it for years, and made a video course that teaches you,
Step-by-step, how to start making serious passive income on youtube.

I went through his course, and honestly, it’s the best one I have seen. period.
Watch his video and decide if it’s for you…
