Are you interested in how to make money with YouTube? I have good news for you. It’s easy and you can start right now.

Thousands of new videos are uploaded to YouTube every day. Many of them are just ordinary people. Some of these videos just go viral and get thousands of views in just days, some even get millions in an incredibly short period of time.

I’m sure you know the videos I’m talking about. Cute babies, someone falling in public and being embarrassed, a celebrity seen in public. The list goes on.

Most of these videos are not professional productions. They have been made with a normal handycam or with the video camera of a mobile phone.

And they don’t even last long. Many of these videos that have tens of millions of views are no longer than ten seconds.

So the question remains, how do you make money from YouTube? That is how.

YouTube allows you to upload your movies for free and they also allow you to add a ‘description’ to your video. Within this description field, you can write anything you want… including a link to a website.

If you already have a website to promote, you can upload a video to YouTube and put your website URL in the description field. Then, whenever visitors view your video, they will see the description and click on it to go to your website.

Another way to drive traffic to your website is to have a short 10 second clip at the end of the video that directly tells viewers to go to your website. Just type the words, “See this website – YourDomain.com”.

Some of you may be wondering, “What if I don’t have a website? Can I still make money from YouTube?”

The answer is a resounding yes! That is how…

You can earn money by promoting ClickBank products. ClickBank is an affiliate network that anyone can join and earn money by promoting other people’s products.

Find a good ClickBank product to promote (I recommend sticking to products that have a gravity of 50 or higher) and shorten your affiliate link with a free URL shortener.

Add your shortened link to the video description field and voila!

Now let’s do some math. Creating a short video and uploading it to YouTube shouldn’t take you more than 20 minutes. If I were to spend a whole day doing it, I should be able to go up to 20.

Let’s say those 20 videos got 20,000 views per month and let’s be conservative and say only 2% of your viewers visited your website. That would be 400 free, targeted visitors to your site each month on full autopilot!

It may not sound impressive, but when you consider that this traffic will continue for years to come, and that you can do this over and over again to get even more traffic, it is very powerful.
