    Well, yea. There is a way to make money the same as any other site on the web...

    Also, you can become a popular channel and end up a Partner.

    But please, please, please don't be one of those a**holes who post one minute videos for sales. Please Please Please don't spam up youtube.

    make GOOD videos or don't use youtube - brand them with a link to wherever you are making your money, put that same link in the description as well, and be done with it - just trust me, real videos that happen to share some extra info work WAY better than videos made specifically to sell something (but screencasts and tutorials for products are the exception to this "rule", so you are safe there :))

    Well, once you start getting a lot of views (and I mean a lot, usually over 1 million views), you can sell a link in either the description or as a form of annotation. You can sell these in any internet realted forum: after all, it's a link... Also, people will pay to have their URL watermarked on the vid...

    Yes, there are ways to make money off youtube.

    Sign up for a google adsense account and then sign up for a youtube partner account. Then link the two. There will be instructions on how to link the two accounts when your application is approved.

    Then enable revenue sharing on the videos you want advertisements on. This will be in the properties of the video. Once revenue sharing is enabled, ads will appear on the right hand side of the video, and at the bottom of some of the videos.

    How much money you make depends on how many views your videos get.

    However, as a youtube partner you are held to a higher standard then regular youtube members. Do NOT upload any copyright protected material that does not belong to you. Bad, bad things happen to youtube partners that do that kind of stuff. The money could be refunded back to the people who bought the ads, your youtube account will be deleted and possible actions against your adsense account.

    I am a youtube partner.
