Making Money Using YouTube Without Making A Video

This is a quick and easy way to make a small amount of income from Google Ads.

If your site is music related, go over to YouTube and find videos that match your interest. I like the idea of "the best techno for 2007". With this you can find out a list of artists that you like in that year, name the song and write a line or two about that song.

Then go onto YouTube and find a video with that group or artist singing that song. If you list ten artists then you should have 10 YouTube videos (YouTube gives you the code to put onto your site, its called embedded). Just copy and paste that code where you would like the video appearing on your page.

Now, log into your Adsense account (its free to join up) and then go for a leader board style and then place the Adsense ads by the side of your YouTube videos. The ads that will only appear are related to the content.

Now if you have a separate page for "the best techno for 2006", "the best techno for 2006" etc, then you will have alot of Google Ads and alot of clickthroughs.

Now you could make this idea slightly bigger and dedicate a whole site just to YouTube videos and place your Google Ads by the side of them.

You could even dedicate a page per artist and have YouTube videos just from that artist.

So how much has it cost you? Well, you are hosting the website anyway for your own group, and any additional html pages are technically free. YouTube hosts the videos, and you get money from your Google Ads.

With this technique you are also increasing the chance of people coming onto your site, and on top of that they are targetted visitors because you will only put "the best...." of your style.
