While making money shouldn't be your sole reason for joining Youtube making some extra cash from what is really just a hobby should not be sniffed at. Here are the best ways I have seen to make money through your Youtube channel.
BECOME A YOUTUBE PARTNER
Becoming a partner is the most coveted yet elusive method of earning an income from your channel. If you want to follow this path here is a guide on how to become a Youtube partner.
INDIVIDUAL VIDEO MONETISATION
Should you create one extremely popular video Youtube will send you a message asking you if you want to monetise that video. All you have to do is click yes, connect an adsense account and begin earning.
AFFILIATE PROGRAM
An affiliate program involves you promoting goods or services that are sold on the web. Should a user follow your affiliate link and make a purchase then you receive a commission from the sale. Neobux, a website that pays you to click advertisements is a good example of this as you earn money by referring other users to the website. Sign up here:
SELL YOUR VIDEOS/SERVICES
This is generally an option if you are talented at something others on Youtube struggle at. For example if you are a talented animator you could make animated music videos or intro's for channels.
SELL YOUR CHANNEL
If you have a popular channel in a targeted niche then selling your channel to a website or company looking to promote their services may be an option. If you wish to do this then you must contact the potential buyers directly. Only attempt this if your channel gets at least 3000 views per video.
GENERATE TRAFFIC FOR YOUR WEBSITE
Generating traffic for your own website can be the most lucrative entry on this list. If your website is in the same niche as your videos then you have the potential to attract a lot of viewers and generate a lot of profit. Here is a guide to marketing your website on youtube.
