If you are interested in video streaming and looking to earn from home online through it then I’m sure that you have already done a ton of research regarding it. And while researching you have stumbled upon youtube. And anyone interested in video streams has heard of it. Cause most of them got the idea from there. And chances are you are of them.
Yep, a lot. And it is not that I am overreacting or anything. It is the reality. Cause human imagination is nearly infinite. We are able to think of almost all kinds of fiction and logic there is. And depending on it we are able to create contents that are liked by our audience. It’s true not everyone likes everything. And some are even ridiculous even being fiction. But that doesn’t mean that they are not likes. Characters like a talking pan or walking rock and magic most of them are illogical. But we love such stories the most. By this, you can guess how much your imagination can be like by others. And platforms like youtube allow you to stream your creativity and earn from it at the same time as well.
There are millions of content creators there who post videos regularly and earn from them. But is everything is as easy as it seems? Well, youtube pays you depending on your views. And for a newcomer well that’s technically next to impossible since nobody even knows that your channel exists. So it would take a long time to start earning from it.
But the good thing is that there are other methods as well. Which if used correctly can start earning sooner than you think. So what are these ways? Well. that’s why you are here, aren’t you? So lets me tell you some of these ways that I have personally experienced.
# Sell products
There are a lot of people who are interested in the e-commerce platform. Some even want to sell their homemade products and have an e-commerce platform set. But the only thing that is missing is the buyers. Cause they don’t know about your existence. So you need to do some marketing to let them know about you.
Creating an intro or review video and sharing it is one of the best things you can do. You can add your page link on the CTA or leave it on the description for viewers to visit. But keep in mind while making such a stream you must make sure that the product can relate to your viewers so that they don’t just ignore it.
# Join the youtube partner program
Now for some of you, this might be the first time that you have heard the term youtube partners. So let me explain remember the ads or videos of other content creators that pop up in the middle of a stream well that’s youtube partners. It’s like an advertisement of your channel using youtube. Though youtube takes some percentage of the income there are also certain requirements to become a partner but all in all it’s a good way to earn and increase your viewers at the same time.
# Earn through fan funding
You have guessed ask your fans to pay you. Now you are thinking who in their right mind would pay a newb for nothing? Well, not a newb but a future content creator. You won’t believe that if your content touches the heart of your audient they themself will provide you with funding to continue your work.
What I am saying is definitely not some gibberish. There are sites like Patreon, Buy me a coffee, Streaming Plug, etc. that enable your fans to donate to you in return for some benefits. Like early content access, live chat, etc.
# Become an affiliate marketer
Now, what is affiliate marketing? Well, affiliate marketing is similar to marketing products but the main difference is you don’t do it for your own products but for others. And if their products sell then you would be given a commission from the successful sale.
But now you are thinking how would they know that the purchase was through you? And how do I become an affiliate? Well, the process is not that hard actually you just need to sign up for an affiliate program which can be found just by search. Then they will provide you with a unique link, which if click will indicate the purchase was done through your link. I think that’s answers those questions right? So now all you need is to make video content which can be of any like a story, a build guide, or even a product review, and just make your link available in your description. And you are done. Though there is more to affiliate than this, that’s a story for another time.
