How can you make money on YouTube?

Sharing entertaining videos: YouTube can be used as a publishing platform for original videos providing entertainment and information. In this case, the video creator can make money through advertisements. Google YouTube has its own advertising programme, which you can use to monetize your videos. The revenue will depend on the number of times the video is viewed and clicks on ads.
Sharing product advertorials: Internet marketers use video reviews, customer testimonials and how-to guides for products they promote. When creating a video testimonials for YouTube, make sure that it looks real. Keep the camera and lighting like an amateur. If you do not have the equipment, time or expertise to create video reviews or testimonials, you can hire someone to create a video for you. Fiverr has a lot of talented individuals offering to create video reviews and testimonials for $5. You will have to just upload the video on YouTube.
For example, if I am promoting an acne cure, I will share a video about acne and how the product helps in getting rid of acne. In the video, I will drop my affiliate link (shortened using service like Bit.ly or Goo.gl to make it look pretty) so that people can check it out using my referral. When they buy the product using the affiliate link or discount coupon code, I earn a commission.

Video marketing (using YouTube for selling or promoting products) is an effective strategy for persuading people into buying or trying your products. It is also easier to rank on YouTube than in Google. YouTube being an authority website owned by Google, it gets indexed in Google search engine almost instantly. All of this makes YouTube a hot spot for Internet marketers.
Driving traffic to websites: YouTube and other video-sharing websites can also used to get visitors to your websites and blogs. When you intend to drive traffic to your websites, share interesting stuff, funny videos and how-to articles related to the niche of the website. When you want the viewers to visit your website, leave some loose ends in the video and invite viewers to find the remaining information on your website. It acts like a teaser. So you share most of the information on a certain topic, but not all. It is necessary that the viewer should have the desire to visit your website or blog for the rest of the information.

Creating a video for YouTube

If you have a video camera, you know what to do with it. Shoot a video and then convert it into MP4 or AVI format. Upload it on YouTube.
Internet marketers can do without video cameras. Create screencasts by recording your computer screen. You can use desktop recording application such as Cam Studio or Record My Desktop (Linux). You can also use a presentation (PowerPoint or Open Office) to create a screencast video.
Make your videos as useful and interesting as possible. Don’t forget to share your affiliate product link or code in the video, preferably at the beginning. So even if the visitor leaves mid way, the affiliate code or link gets shared.

Tips for making money on YouTube

When trying to sell or promote products through YouTube and other video-sharing websites, you need to follow some basic rules for success.

1. Videos should be not less than a minute, or at least 30 seconds for product reviews.

Then this post is the right place to get answer for your queries.Though it comes with codec of its own it does not seem to do a good job in reducing the file size of recordings.So let’s see how to optimize the file size without losing the quality.
The key here is to find a good codec that will do the job of producing a small outfile size.Here are few best compression codecs that will drastically help to reduce the size of recording at the same time without losing much of quality.Codecs below are listed out in their order of effectiveness, H.264 stands out from all.
