Sponsors will also contact you to review and promote their products and will pay you good money for that.
3. Affiliate Marketing
You can earn a lot of money from YouTube in a very short time with the help of Affiliate Marketing.

Youtube also provides the option to advertise your merchandise below your video and if someone clicks on it then he will be redirected to the seller’s page. But there are very few companies that can be added as merchandisers on youtube and youtube is working to improve that.
Comedy YouTube Channel BB ki Vines use this method and sell his merchandise on his own website called youthiapa.

YouTube Super Chat is a good way to monetize your channel if you have a gaming YouTube Channel or you do continuous live-streaming on your channel. This feature is introduced by YouTube in 2017.
During live streaming, if a person wants to stand out in comment they need to pay for it and it is known as Super Chat. The money is directly sent to YouTuber’s Adsense account.
