YouTube Shorts is a hotshot these days following the steps of TikTok’s short-lasting videos. The earning from YouTube Shorts depends on the popularity of the video, but there’s another way to earn big commissions through Shorts that many people haven’t discovered yet.
The advancement of technology gives a lot more opportunities for people to earn more while doing less, and all that’s left are people taking advantage of it. The seed and the good soil are already given to you, so you only need to plant them.
The internet has quite a lot to offer for you to grow your income— YouTube Shorts and ClickBank are some of the several platforms where you can make money from. The process is pretty easy though it may take some of your time.
Here’s how you can earn $100 daily with YouTube Shorts and ClickBank:
Step 1: Go to ClickBank
Once you are on the platform, sign up for an account. There’s no need for you to pay for the membership fee because joining the community is completely free. You only need to fill up your full name, phone number, email address and create a password.
If you’re already in ClickBank, you can just simply log in.
After logging in, go to ClickBank “Marketplace” on the uppermost part of the page. In there, you will be able to find products in different categories or niches. You can promote any products that you find interesting or beneficial for your target audience.
For example, your target audience is people who are into fitness. Browse through the Health & Fitness category and you will be presented with products related to it.
The amount you will be making every sell through your promotion is indicated beside the product. Let’s say you advertised Okinawa Flat Belly Tonic, which is a diet product. For every purchase they make through your advertisement, you will be given about $136.1.
There’s a lot of products to choose from. If your target audience is a couple, there is also a Marriage & Relationships category. You can sell products like Magic Relationship Words, which are advice to couples or even coaching services for relationships.
There’s quite a lot of niches where you can dive into, and you can make money through commissions.
This is affiliate marketing, and we’re going to collaborate it with YouTube Shorts.
Step 2: Go to YouTube
Once you’re on the platform, go to the search bar and look for “#shorts +” to see categories or niches that you could dive into. Once you’ve chosen a niche, look for a product on ClickBank that will suit it best.
For example, you want to target people on YouTube who are interested in dog training. Go to ClickBank and search for dog training and find a product that could appeal to dog lovers out there in the market.
After choosing a niche, you need to create a video touching on that category.
Step 3: Go to InVideo
You could enjoy the free version and paid version of the platform. However, the free version has an undersized watermark.
Once you’re logged in, click the “Pre-made Templates” and choose the “Vertical” dimension among the three choices given. After that search for the niche, you’d like to make a video for.
For example, you would like to make a YouTube Shorts video for fitness. You could look for a pre-made template for it and utilize it for your own use. After you’ve chosen a template, click on it then press the button for “Use this template.”
The template almost has everything— the videos, layout, and music. You only need to change the information.
If you also want to change the videos in the template, you could go for a royalty-free videos platform, like Pexel or Pixabay, to choose an image you want to use.
At the time you’re done creating the video, click the Download and Share button on the right side of your screen, then export.
Now that you already have a video that you can put on YouTube, you can actually start making money.
Step 4: Upload the Video to YouTube
Uploading a YouTube Shorts video is pretty different from uploading traditional videos.
In your channel, click upload videos then put on the video you created from InVideo. After that, you will be asked to put a title. In the title, you should include “#shorts” or else it wouldn’t be included in Shorts videos.
Another thing you need to put fill out is the description. The content on your description is important because this is where you will put on the affiliate links.
Go back to the ClickBank website and generate a product affiliate link from the product you want to promote.
Once you have your affiliate link on your clipboard, you can utilize the Cuttly website to shorten your affiliate link to make it look cleaner before actually pasting it on the description box.
Once you’re done with the description, choose a thumbnail for your Shorts video. You can either choose from a part of your video, or you can edit an image to make it your template. The next is the tags.
To use the full potential of tags, you can utilize vidIQ.
Step 5: Go to vidIQ
vidIQ is an online academic website that gives video analytics and tutorials to help people grow their YouTube channel. Just like TubeBuddy, the platform also has a Google Chrome Extension, which you can use for analytics data.
Use this extension for YouTube. Once the extension is added, search for other Shorts video that is relevant to what you are going to upload. In the right part of your screen, you will see your vidIQ extension showing the analytics of the video, including the tags used in it.
Step 6: Go Back to YouTube
Go back to the tab where you’re uploading your Shorts video. You will see in the tags section that vidIQ has recommendations that you could use to optimize your video. Aside from that, you could also use the tags you’ve seen on the analytics of other Shorts videos.
Upload the video then you’re ready to go!
In a nutshell, this method of how you can earn money is called affiliate marketing. Technically, in this tutorial, you use video content like YouTube Shorts to promote products on ClickBank.
One video content is enough to give you endless possibilities of income, how much more if you create two or more of it?
Affiliate marketing could help you enjoy a more leisurely lifestyle by giving you income even without working actively. PayScale reports show that the average annual affiliate marketing income is about $51,000. The 10% of top-tier affiliate marketers earn about $71,000, while the bottom 10% make about $37,000. The results may vary from each and every single individual though depending on different factors.
To successfully earn a good commission ClickBank through YouTube shorts, find the niche that has a lot of Shorts that are getting poked, and then look for the best-suited product for the niche and topic you’ve chosen.
Just a bit of brief advice in choosing a niche.
Do not be an affiliate marketer for almost every category. Instead, pay more attention to promoting and advertising products that you, yourself will also love, and products that are important to your audience.
Moreover, don’t be too pushy with your content.
In this digital age, hard sell doesn’t work anymore. People prefer reliable information that will help them know more about the product you are advertising so they can make up their own minds if it’s valuable for them or not.
