We will tell you how to make money on YouTube without making a video. There are many popular TV shows, such as the X factor, etc., as well as many soap operas (Turkish / Russian TV series) that allow you to take their videos and re-upload them, but they monetize them in their favor, using the Content ID system. which tracks any copies by prints, BUT there are 3 not obvious ways to make money on such a channel:

  • external partner programs (training courses, etc.)
  • advertising of small YouTube channels
  • selling the channel itself (the most profitable option)

Cons: this topic is for the future, you need to sit in an “ambush” for 3–6 months while the audience gathers.

Pros: due to the fact that, as a rule, this is massive content of TV shows and series, having worked like a bee for a couple of weeks, creating such assets in 6 months, you can extract from this from 1000 USD from one channel. Well, along the way, some pretty penny can be extracted from various affiliate programs, there are a huge number of them.

You can also do 10–20 channels at the same time in YouTube

How to earn money on affilate marketing

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Set up a buffer YouTube channel on which we will test suitable content.

Any account registered at gmail.com will do, then go to YouTube, create a channel that the system offers (if it is not already there).

PS: The name/design of the channel does not matter.

2. Verify the account (it is necessary for the channel to work properly and download videos longer than 15 minutes), verification is carried out using a mobile phone number in the creative studio in the “Channel” section.

3. Now the task is to find content on YouTube that will not receive strikes and blockings, it is very easy to check it, you need to upload 5–10 videos of your chosen topic to the buffer channel, with access via a link, and wait about a week.

There are three variations: the content copyright holder, if he is connected to the Content ID system, has 3 policies that he can use: Block, monetize in his favor, or track (there is nothing not to apply), most simply monetize in their favor, and this suits us. I.e. they do not mind that you take someone else’s content, they just take money for views. This does not affect the development of the channel.

After the content has been tested on the buffer channel, which did not receive a strike or blocking (you will receive a notification by mail and the channel if this happens), then you download more such videos, the optimal number is 50–40 and upload to the channel.

4. Registration. And so on your channel 30–40 videos are uploaded with access via the link, now you need to arrange the channel. The design includes the channel logo, header (banner at the top) and preview (pictures above the video), all of which can be easily downloaded from free stocks, depending on the topic of the channel you have chosen.

5. Optimization. Optimization includes: title / description / tags / hashtags.

Here we need a little creativity, we take the original name and play with it, we throw out something from the name, we add something, but we don’t fundamentally change it (this will allow you to get traffic from similar videos), we insert your name into the description and add it in this video “Title of the video” and maybe something else, one line is enough.

Tags are very important and you need to take them partially from the original video, in order to surprise the tags of other people’s videos, you need to install a free application for the Chrome “VIDiq browser”, after installation and registration, you can see the tags of any video on YouTube, as well as copy from. And so, copy 50 — 60% of the tags from the original + it is advisable to use creative and alternative services for selecting keys, such as keyword tool or Yandex wordstat, based on existing names and tags, this will increase the chances of SEO.

We can add hashtags to the description of the video (these are essentially the same tags that you have already picked up, but written with a # sign), take 15 hashtags and write through the hashtag sign and using an underscore if you use phrases.

6. We publish 1–3 videos for the first 4–6 days, then you can do 5–6, but no more than a day, preferably at different times.

7. Next, we are waiting for YouTube to start adding videos to similar ones and share traffic with us for free, here it is important to be patient, since in the next 1–3 months the situation on the channel may not change much, but then, if you did everything right, the channel will begin to collect a thematic audience and gain views.

8. In 6–12 months you will be able to sell such a channel, the price will depend on the quantity and quality of the audience. The cost of a channel can go up to $ 5,000 per channel, but as you understand the number of such channels is limited only by your imagination, you can work for 1 month and create 20–50 such channels and earn $ 20,000–50,000 in a year.

This is absolutely the same work as the real one, only you do it for your own pleasure and work when it is convenient for you and when you want to work!
