Google Play, Amazon mp3, iTunes affiliate offers on youtube videos?

[Peacepilgrim]

I see some youtube videos that offer affiliate links with an image or album cover that will be located to the right of the video description. It won't let me include a link or I was going to show you an example, but you've probably seen it too.

I can't find any instructions on youtube on how to set this up. I am already an itunes and amazon affiliate. I just don't know how to go about adding this type of offer to my videos.

Can any either describe or refer me to where I can get a good "how to".

If I'm offering a song as an affiliate, would I therefor be allowed to use that song for my video?

I really need to get up to speed on this

im not sure what do you really mean, but i think that you are talking about adds. If so, you need to be a youtube partner, or get partnered with a youtube network. You cant put your link ont there, its an add that youtube puts, when you are a partner.

Oh gosh. I found the site they use to crawl metadata for songs being claimed like 2 weeks ago but I can't find it in my history now. :/

It's a database type site they use where it has all the details for any song you search for.

I'm not referring to adds on my youtube video. I'm referring to having itunes, amazon and google play links, along with an image for a song or album. In other words, the youtuber is offering a song or album as an affiliate, along with any other youtube ads, etc. Someone must be familiar with this?

That "image" you see, appears when you upload a popular song and it gets content id claimed.

The Claimant or rights holder gets to put a link to the album to increase revenue if they leave the song up (because obviously having a song on YouTube will means less in album sales which payout close to 30 times better than YouTube ads.)

Well, thanks for that clarification:

So does the youtuber also share in the revenue from the song, along with the copyright holder?

I quick search reveals there is a lot of controversy about this subject!

Thanks!

No as it is at the moment, those will show if the song match is more than 10% (so 20 seconds of most songs) which is not fair use and so all revenue generated by the audio goes to the rights holder.
