Hi all!
I recently finally got fully monetized on YouTube (yippee) (also can’t believe I can post here now lol wild) and since there’s all sorts of new tabs and ways to earn, I’m getting a little lost.
I’ve seen and researched doing affiliate links and what not plenty, but now that I’m monetized, under the “shopping” tab, there’s the “explore affiliate offers”
It’s got all sorts of things like Sennheiser, Best Buy, etc. and it says the percentage of commission and what not.
My question is, does anyone use THESE affiliate opportunities? If so, what is expected of you? Can you just have the link in the description and that’s it or is it more involved? I’m worried clicking them will make me auto accept or something, and I can’t seem to find better info about it elsewhere.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I’m not in YouTube for just the money, but content creation is my full time job so obviously I’d like to scale YouTube to be earning more as well since it has so much potential.
I’ve googled this a ton but I think because the word “affiliate” is involved, I just find info on general affiliate marketing, not the ones being offered through YouTube shopping specifically, no matter how I word it to google.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the time from anyone who’s been doing this longer, I know it’s valuable. Hope your week is swell everyone!
