Final thoughts about this video:
Affiliate marketing on YouTube can be difficult to wrap your head around if you're a beginner or even if you've been making videos for while because when you first start making videos you don't think about affiliate marketing. There is a lot to explore on the subject, however, once you learn the basics it is possible to make money as an affiliate on YouTube.

Affiliate income sure beats Adsense income

You said alot, but really, nothing at all! Can you tell me how to set up Amazon affiliate links on my Youtube channel step by step please.

[TheWhiskeyDictionary]

Every time I see one of your videos I can't get over how much that single blue light improves the look. Such a cool and easy effect

[DeadbeatSuperAffiliate]

Honored to be here guys! Let me know if you have any questions in regards to affiliate marketing! I am happy to help! Also, everyone give it up for Nick Nimmin for creating such an awesome channel!

[mxicklejx]

Thanks so much! You inspired me to start growing my own channel and i started earning money!

[owenvideo]

Incredible video with a ton of value. Can't eat to have Nick on my channel and I look forward to learning more from Dan

[ChristaCoupons]

Nick Nimmin I wish you would do more of affiliate links. I have been trying to use an affiliate link for ebay for months and CANNOT figure out how to get the correct link in my description box. HELP Nick! Please!

Adding a little money would be awesome because of the gear and all, but for now I'm fully focused on getting the hang of the platform.

[BethGucioTV]

yes, I'm so interested to know how to use video to brand myself for my affiliate business.

[BriangjohnsonTv]

Awesome stuff! Nice video Nick and Dan! Ka BOOM! POOF!

[chadgarber]

The other gentleman in your video made it sound like Youtube will punish for affiliate links. I don't think that is true, is it? You have some links in your description? Is it ok by Youtube or no?

[thebaldgerman]

According to FTC, Affiliate disclosure should be placed before the links. "Neither is placing it below your review or below the link to the online retailer so readers would have to keep scrolling after they finish reading."

[ShabsParadise]

i didnt understand much even after listening this video twice. if possible please give the step by step instructions on how to do it.

[beanschlager]

Not helpful. It's confusing because your freebie sells more affiliate related stuff. Like how do you do this for regular products?

[ThroatSore]

I'm not in it for the profit. But a good camera would make me a better creator.

[thekrepdr]

yes getting income would improve my equipment

[MrJersey]

So, does Youtube not allow Affiliate Marketing links on Youtube???

[HuzefaTariq]

I just subbed... From now on I'll never miss any of your Videos! Thanks For All The Help :)

[STEADY]

Hi, Nick. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while and I'm learning all the time from it. I have a lively YT channel and I have Google Adsense. I'm thinking of affiliate marketing. Just a question: if I do begin affiliate marketing, will it affect the Google ads in anyway? Am I able to have both on my channel? I'd appreciate your reply.

[doityourdarnselfdiy]

Wait crap! So i need to create my own website to link to youtube in order to post my amazon affiliates link?so the link cant be on youtube?
