Making money with YouTube is just one way to market yourself or product or service on the internet, and it is a very lucrative way. And within YouTube, you can create several ways to produce dollars.

First thing is first, having an understanding of why YouTube is a great source of potential income is important.

- There are more than 60 hours of video uploaded every minute onto YouTube,

- An estimated 90% of internet exposure will be video by 2015,

- It is estimated that 90% of internet traffic will be video by 2015,

- By 2015, approximately 90% of internet traffic will be video.

The results due to video exposure helps with the promotion of your content because viewers become better informed and knowledgeable since watching is easier than reading. Visitors are 6 times more likely to take action than from a website or article. And videos build trust because they know there is a real person behind what is being promoted.

Knowing these facts about YouTube and the power of video, the marketing can begin. A person can produce videos to market themselves and their own products to make 100% profits with a process of attraction marketing. He may want to promote an array of affiliate products and make affiliate commissions. Partnering with YouTube to be compensated for allowing advertisers to post ads on their vids. Or paying for advertising spots with PPC - Pay Per Click advertising. All but the last option requires a need for generating traffic.

PPC has its own specific tactics to producing results and doesn't depend on the same kind of traffic as the other three methods to generating an income. Paid advertising gets you views, known as impressions, and generates clicks if your ad is inviting enough and your product is something people seek. As soon as you stop paying for clicks, you stop generating traffic and leads.

If you don't pay for traffic, then you must generate traffic, and this is called free traffic. You'll need to become skillful in the ways of knowing what your target market is thinking and looking for. This also includes learning how use the internet like a fine edged sword to get your audience before your videos with focused marketing. Unlike PPC, you can stop posting videos and the previously released videos, once ranked at and near the top, will keep on producing leads and income.

Let's say you don't particularly care about marketing a product or opportunity or service, you just want to post cool and unusual videos to entertain, but still make some money. Then you will want to partner with YouTube to get paid on your popularity. Although, you still need traffic. You can have the funniest video ever posted, but if no one sees it, then YouTube can't pay. This particular method still needs views and followers and subscribers to make it profitable. Expect about $2 for every 1000 views.

To get serious with making money on YouTube, you should show everyone how you are the authority in your niche and to prove it, you have created your own products for that niche for people to buy, thus making pure profits on sales. This is the key to making true wealth with video, and with online marketing.

One can also choose to be an affiliate marketer and promote other people's products or services for commissions on their results. This is very lucrative method of marketing on YouTube because your product promotion can be a simple "how to" or "review" video which are very popular in the YouTube community.

Now knowing the above 3 scenarios require traffic and you don't want to do PPC, you need to generate it, without cost. This means knowing the ways of the internet. Making money with YouTube is definitely internet marketing at its best.

Now, when it comes to having your videos seen by as many viewers as possible, you need to follow some guidelines to maximize exposure.

Here are the criteria:

1. Have an intro that grabs your viewer within the first 5 seconds. Introduce yourself and give the intention of the video. Remember, if you plan correctly, your traffic is most likely wanting what you have to offer, so remind them of that as soon as you can.

2. State the problem. Tell your audience that you know exactly why they are having troubles, because you once experienced the same troubles and struggled through the pain to find a solution.

3. Offer the solution. This is when you explain how to you have the pain killer and you are the expert at how to use it. Give some facts and statistics of your personal results and even results of a mentor or sponsor you may have. This will lay the foundation and establish credibility.

4. Have a call-to-action. Give your buyers a way to get more information or to a sales page by providing links in the description. Also, tell them in the video to click the link below, or follow the link to get more information, etc. Good practice is to let the call-to-action be the last thing you say when the video ends.

Master the criteria and maneuver in few tricks in with your videos to help rank them at the top of the search results inside of YouTube and get noticed more to attract views.

Write your title to be a specific long tail keyword or, without sounding redundant, have a shorter keyword repeat within the title. This will make your video more relevant to the search engine. Keyword tags for the video should be as many related keywards as possible. This helps to guide traffic towards your video - relevancy again. If your keyword is "pruning hybrid tea roses" and some searches for "tea roses," that search gets directed to you. Knowing what people may search for and chosing a long tail keywords will require you do learn keyword research. This isn't difficult and is crucial to your success.

For your thumbnail image, choose a shot that will seem to peak interest. A new YouTube account will be limited to 3 options, so you would have take what they give you, but with more activity on the account, the choices are greater.

Annotations can help, but can hurt. Strategic timing and placement can add more value to your video by referring the viewer to a part 2 of the video series, or to another relevant video of yours. An annotation at the end video, telling them about the call-to-action, helps enforce the view to take action.

Be original. You may get into character, or play a character from time to time, use props, animations, music, and anything to spice up your videos. Think outside of the box, see what other popular videos are doing, and be original.

To make money on YouTube, you must get high ratings and views, obviously. Do this proactively by sharing your videos with social media outlets and email them to your team members. Have a call-to-action annotation telling everyone to 'like' the video. Link to your other videos, include them in articles and blogs and be keyword specific for search. This all will improve your stats, and quickly.

Consider a type of video you want to create. "How to" videos are very popular; personal experience and inspirational also attract views. Promote products as a review video. In fact, review videos are also great for companies, books, leaders and high influential people, and services. What ever the type of video, always give value.

Your traffic should finish watching your video with more knowledge or with a new skill they can apply themselves.

Ethical rule #1, never ever talk bad about the competition of anyone or anything. It is not professional and it could get you in trouble. You can have an opinion, or experience bad service, or do side by side comparisons, but do it respectfully and in good taste. You wouldn't want someone else doing a degrading video about you or your product, so don't do it to others.

Is there money to be made on YouTube?

Can you make a video and be creative? And then do it again, and again, and again, till the traffic and leads are flooding your inbox?

Wash, rinse and repeat this and yes, you can make money. Just start taking action now and get traffic flowing, or simply pay for it.
