How to Make Money on YouTube Videos

Did you know that you can earn money without ever uploading a video to YouTube? YouTube provides its users with access to a library of Creative Commons-licensed videos. This License enables you to use (and earn money from) other people's YouTube videos as if they were your own.

Without ever uploading a video, you can earn money on YouTube.

In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll demonstrate how to republish other people's YouTube videos, optimize them for increased traffic, and monetize your video traffic.

This tutorial consists of four steps:

1. Decide on a Keyword

To find videos that will generate the most traffic and revenue from advertising, you must first conduct keyword research. Keyword research is the process of identifying and selecting low-competitive keywords/topics that people are searching for.

Following these three steps, I determined that the keyword "Vegetable garden planner" is a good fit for my YouTube video. The following step will demonstrate how to locate and republish a YouTube video that is relevant to your chosen keyword.

2. Syndicate YouTube videos

This section will teach you how to republish Creative Commons-licensed YouTube videos that are relevant to your keyword, optimize them for maximum exposure, and then republish them as your own.

3. Optimize video content for increased traffic

This section will teach you how to optimize your videos with clickbait and captions in order to increase their total views.

Make Use of Clickbait

If you're unfamiliar with the term, clickbait "describes web content that is designed to generate online advertising revenue, often at the expense of quality or accuracy." When used appropriately, it can be a viable marketing strategy. Large media companies such as BuzzFeed and Up Worthy frequently use clickbait to increase website traffic.

While using clickbait is frowned upon, it is widely used because it is an effective method of increasing traffic. If you lack the Photoshop skills necessary to create effective clickbait, create an eye-catching thumbnail for your video.

The key to successfully utilizing clickbait is to capture your audience's attention with a "amazing" video thumbnail and title. However, you must also deliver a high-quality video to maintain a high user engagement rate and video rating.

Include Captions

Adding captions is one of the simplest ways to increase your video's traffic because YouTube indexes captions, which means that you have a huge opportunity to increase your video's keyword diversity and density.

Two factors that affect the order in which your video appears in YouTube video search results are keyword diversity and density.

Additionally, keep in mind that YouTube's automatic (CC) captions are not indexed, which is why adding your own is critical.

The second reason you should include captions in your videos is that they increase user engagement, which has an effect on your video's SEO. To learn why, read the entire article.

The third reason you should include captions in your videos is that "by increasing total video views, you increase total earnings."

Consider a YouTube video with over ten million views. If the publisher is fully utilizing AdSense, a video with 10,000,000 views should easily generate over $5,000 in revenue.

4. Earn revenue from video traffic

To earn money from your YouTube videos, you must first enable monetization and create a Google AdSense account.

After completing step 4, YouTube will request that you agree to their terms and conditions and provide additional information in order to create a Google AdSense account.

Take note that approval of your monetization application may take a few days.

Conclusion

The key to success on YouTube is to consistently create high-quality content. While not every video will be a smashing success, the more frequently you post, the more growth your channel can expect.

Finally, if you want to achieve long-term success on YouTube, you should consider creating your own videos in which you interact directly with your audience.

It's no coincidence that the most successful YouTube channels are run by individuals who leverage their quirky/unique personalities as their primary brand asset. Therefore, begin broadcasting yourself!

That is all!
