5 Easy Ways How to Make Money on YouTube 2020

This week in the Creatorpreneurs Academy, you’ll learn how to get more visitors, more clicks, and more sales on YouTube.

There’s no denying that YouTube’s popularity continues to increase. In fact, there are currently 2 billion users on YouTube and this number accounts for over 45% of all internet users. Additionally, 73% of adults in the U.S. are on YouTube.

This suggests that there are huge opportunities for even small companies to earn money on YouTube in 2020.

The truth is that if you haven’t started using YouTube for your business, and aren’t using the platform to increase your revenue, then you’re seriously missing out!

To help you get started growing your business, consider the ways that you can make money on YouTube in 2020 and beyond.

CREATORPRENEURS QUICK TIP

Create attention-getting thumbnails for every video by following these steps:

  1. Choose a template from The Graphics Creator’s YouTube Channel Art.
  2. Create a thumbnail 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall, with a minimum width of 640 pixels and a 16:9 ratio.
  3. Add a title using your main keyword with large text
  4. Use contrasting colors and a “relevant” design that “pops”, so that your thumbnail stands out from the rest.
  5. Export in .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF image formats and make sure your image file size is under 2MB.

How to Make Money on YouTube

There’s no doubt that there’s a continuously growing amount of competition on YouTube. However, as long as you’re willing to put in the time, there are still fairly easy ways to earn a steady stream of income.

Want to get a picture of how much money you can make with YouTube? Check out this calculator.

Now that you know your potential for earning revenue, here are five easy strategies to make money on YouTube.

Promote Your Own Products or Services on YouTube

If you have your own product or service, it’s easy to earn revenue with videos focused on how you can help or give value to your audience. you can show your audience how to use your product, what the best features are, or how they can directly benefit.

If you don’t already have a product to offer, create a simple one based on your passions and interests. Create a short ebook, helpful app, stunning art, or an educational course, for example. Consider the value in what you have to offer.

Show off your product with a how-to-use video. Make sure to add a link to your product in your video’s description so that viewers can buy it.

Increase Sales on Your Website or Blog

It’s easy to show the value of your product or service by sharing YouTube videos. After all, you already know everything about your product or service. Now it’s time to share with others.

Create videos that focus on product features, benefits to customers, and educational tutorials. With this variety of videos, you can quickly monetize your channel.

For example, Laughingbird Software creates “Tutorial Tuesdays” design videos, product feature videos, and videos teaching how to use design to grow your business, like the video below.

teach graphicsEarn an Income by Teaching What You Know

You can teach something that someone else wants to learn. So why not help others out and earn money from it?!

It’s easy to talk about what you know. But the hard part is really about being comfortable on camera as well as creating a great offer to give away free or at low cost.

For example, if you’re a beauty consultant, just talk about what you love… product reviews, colors, how-to apply, etc. Then tell your viewers what to do to get your “free beauty guide” or where to go to purchase your products.

Don’t be shy to tell them about your offer. Instead, have confidence that you are helping someone else get what they need or solve a problem that they are happy to pay you for.

Share on Pinterest.

affiliateEarn Affiliate Marketing Commissions

Another way to monetize your YouTube channel is to earn commissions by advertising other businesses products. Many companies love to share their revenue with you… after all, you can reach a new audience and bring them traffic that they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

This especially holds true if you’re affiliate marketing on YouTube, as putting affiliate links in blogs is still the most common (and competitive) method.

Signing up to become an affiliate is usually easy, and the company provides the ads/images you need to promote their product or service, as well as the shopping cart and methods of payment. You share the ads or banners they give you to your own audience.

When someone makes a purchase, you get a commission. But, pay attention to each companies commission amount, as it varies drastically. For example, a commission of 20% won’t be worth your time for a $20 product unless you can sell a lot. However, you’d earn $200 on a $1000 product!

earn-moneyEarn Money from Ads on Your YouTube Channel

The dream of many entrepreneurs is to earn passive income on YouTube by monetizing their channel.

Monetization occurs when ads are placed on your videos, after becoming a certified YouTube partner. These ads can go before your video, in the middle, or as banners on the side.

Although you do have to meet the following requirements, it’s easier than you think:

First, you must get a minimum of 4000 hours of watch time from your videos. If you submit new videos regularly, achieving these hours isn’t hard… just time-consuming.

Still, it may take several months or longer. However, you can get these hours from a combination of any of your channel’s videos within a 12 month period.

Second, you need to have at least 1000 subscribers. So, be sure to ask viewers to subscribe to your channel, perhaps giving them a free bonus for doing so.

Third, make sure to read and obey YouTube’s ad revenue rules. You don’t want to finally get monetized only to have YouTube take it away from you.

Create YouTube Banners and Thumbnails

How to Make Money on YouTube with Design

Although I didn’t mention using design to earn money in the 5 easy ways how to make money on YouTube, it goes without saying that your channel needs to look good.

Attention-getting thumbnails and banners are important to get and hold viewers’ attention. When they click on and watch your video you’ll have a chance to earn revenue.

How Do I Make My Own Channel Art?

There are two main types of graphics you need for your channel. First, create a banner to represent your business on YouTube. Keep in mind that this is the first thing visitors to your channel see.

Second, make a stand-out thumbnail image for every video. This is super important when it comes to people searching YouTube. If your thumbnail sticks out in the search results, it’s much more likely to get clicked on. So, use bright colors and a short title that includes your keywords.

Easy-to-use channel art design templates will help you make thumbnails quickly but still allow them to be unique. Further, if you decide on sticking with one particular look for your brand, you’ll be able to save and re-use a template over and over.

Is It Hard to Make Money on YouTube?

Here’s the good news: YouTube offers unlimited, creative ways to promote your product, make more sales, and increase small business revenue. Therefore, it’s worth any and all effort you put into it.

However, following and keeping up with all of the ever-changing rules can be difficult. So, make sure you review YouTube’s rules and regulations often.

What’s the #1 Easiest Way to Make Money on YouTube?

Everyone can use YouTube to bring traffic to their website or blog. And increased traffic leads to higher sales earnings. So, make an entertaining or educational video that will simply send people to your website. This is by far the easiest, most direct way to increase revenue.

And you can combine this simple idea with any of the 5 easy ways to make money discussed above.

Cinemagraphs: Capture Attention with Moving Images and Photos

Cinemagraphs: Capture Attention with Moving Images and Photos

Wish You Had a “Magical” Way to Grab a Viewer’s Attention?

You can make any advertisement or project come alive by using a professionally shot moving image from a cinemagraph pro… the big brands are using them and now you can too (but at a fraction of the cost!).

…Think “Harry Potter” photographs, optical illusions, or seemingly endless looping video.

They’re basically a really cool way to capture attention with moving images!

Watch this video to see how cinemagraphs will help you and your business capture attention:

What Are Cinemagraphs?

Cinemagraphs are a perfect combination of a still photograph and a video. They can make things feel like they’re moving faster, slower, or are totally frozen.

Additionally, one of the really cool things about a cinemagraph is that it will loop endlessly, therefore playing until your viewer leaves the page. This is what makes a cinemagraph a true attention-getter for entrepreneurs and internet marketers!

What Are Cinemagraphs Used For?

1. Moving images for backgrounds

2. Animated GIF’s for social media

3. Attention-Getting social media posts

4. Video clips within your other video productions

5. Advertisements

6. Email announcements

7. Presentations

8. Get Creative!

Do I Have to Make a Cinemagraph?

If you’re skilled in photography, video, and technology, then perhaps you can make your own cinemagraphs.

However, most of us don’t have the skills or time to create our own, especially if it means learning a new software program. As small businesses and entrepreneurs, our time is much better spent doing what we are good at, right? Because that’s how we earn our money.

So, the best answer is, no, you don’t need to create your own. And if you’re worried that you don’t have the resources to make a large investment in eye-catching cinemagraphs for your business, then you’re in luck.

How Do I Get a Cinemagraph for My Design Projects?

You can purchase one at a time directly from a stock agency or professional.

Or, even better, you can get a bundle of 27 cinemagraphs for the price of just one from a stock agency. Grab a bundle of stunning moving images that can be used for multiple projects and you won’t have to stress.

Can I Save Cinemagraphs as animated GIF’s or mp4 video?

Yes, you can save them as GIF’s or in other standard video file formats, such as mp4.

Since a cinemagraph image already has motion, you don’t need to add any video to it. However, you will need to save it in a video file format.

In The Graphics Creator, you can choose whether to record your project as a GIF or Webm… then you can download and convert to another video file (say .mp4 or .mov) if needed. Social Media platforms often require different video formats. Webm works great on Facebook, for example, but you’ll need to use .mp4 for a Pinterest video.

Take a look at the video to find out how to record a Moving Image in The Graphics Creator with just a couple of clicks:

What Software Do I Need to Create Ads or Social Media Posts With Cinemagraphs?

You can save time and money by creating your own ads and social media posts, whether or not you’re using cinemagraphs. Spending hundreds to thousands of dollars for images you need every day in your business will only drain your budget and you’ll have a hard time continuing to pay for all you need.

Instead, take a look at this easy-to-use tool, so that all you’ll need to do is add text to your moving images (you can still choose your own fonts, colors, and design elements if you’d like).

Then grab your pre-designed cinemagraphs and have an attention-getting motion image in just minutes.

With only a small investment in time and money, you’ll have access to spectacular images that get you more traffic, more clicks, and more sales.

Join Twitter lists

On Twitter, there are a few ways to find your list, which include:

  • The easiest way is to go to your profile and click on “Lists”
  • Using Twitter’s own search box
  • Searching on a third party website
  • Looking at the public lists of popular people in your industry

One of the easiest ways of finding good lists is to look at the Twitter accounts of people who are well-known in your niche. 

Besides being relatively good sources of information themselves, these people will have curated lists that may have taken you weeks or months to build. All you have to do is follow the list and you’re good to go.

Keep in mind that lists are changing all the time. What may have been a good list 6 months ago may be a worthless list now. 

To make sure that you’re actually subscribing to the best lists in your industry, you have to search again from time to time. The great thing is that by checking your current lists often, you may get the chance to see new trends or people rising in the industry before your competitors, giving you an edge over them.

Lists are also a great way to follow people on Twitter without publicly following them, which can be helpful for keeping an eye on the competition and keeping your feed organized. 

Finding the lists which mean the most to you can be a little tricky, but it’s definitely doable with a little bit of patience.

Start now… create 1-2 lists of the most important things you want to check on daily and you will see how helpful this little feature is!

Creative Market

Creative Market is one of the most comprehensive resources out there. It’s a place where individual designers and artists share their own images, backgrounds, fonts, and photos for other designers to use.

Small companies often go to Creative Market for anything they can use to make their projects easier. They use it for projects such as social media posts to even big billboards and marketing campaigns.

You’ll have to buy the designs/fonts you want. But freebies are offered once a week as well. They often have bundles that you can get for a discount. This is a great opportunity for designers to stock up.
