We all know about YouTube - you can find videos and upload video of just about everything. But there is something many people don't know - YouTube pays out money to people that have a lot of views on videos that they post. That's right! You can earn easy money online by posting videos on YouTube.

The first thing you need is a FREE YouTube account. Simply login to YouTube and sign up, they will ask for basic information including a user name and password.

Once you have your account you need to become familiar with how to upload videos, title videos, and market your videos with relevant keywords, category selection and content. So if you have a nice for making a certain type of video and have lots of them to share this could end up being a great source of online income for you.

After you have uploaded a variety of video you can now go to YouTube's homepage and click on the link that says partnerships under programs. From here you can apply to become a partner. I would suggest building up a nice "portfolio" of video that have success in views before you apply.

Once you’re a partner YouTube then allows you to get commission off of ads that are seen by your videos. So lets say someone watches your YouTube video and noticed an ad to the side of your video. If they click on that ad YouTube shares earning from that ad click with there partners. For some people on YouTube this has generated a lot of money.
