This is the big goal for many YouTubers, to become a partner of YouTube.
Once you become a YouTube partner your channel can start to earn money from advertising. (Those annoying ads which show up in videos and also at the beginning of the video you want to watch)
Prior to becoming a certified YouTube Partner, there are a few ground rules to follow as well as some prerequisites.
Additionally, you must have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 video watch hours on your channel, and adhere to YouTube's ad terms before you can become a partner.
Once you become a YouTube partner it also opens up other potential ways to earn money on the platform.
This includes the following.

2. Become An Affiliate For Products Or Services.
This is a way to make money without even having your own product.
You make commissions on products or services you recommend for other companies or individuals.
And you can do this in many ways.
You can share and recommend products you use in your day to day life.
If you are sharing videos about a particular subject you can find relevant products and become an affiliate for them.
Below is an example from a YouTube channel that shares videos about dogs.
You see all those Amazon links, If someone clicks on any of the links and purchases the product from Amazon then the YouTube creator will earn an affiliate commission.
It's really that simple.
The amount of money you can earn with affiliate marketing can range anywhere from 5% all the way up to 100% and in some cases, companies will pay you out a residual income every month!
