To make money from your YouTube audience in Ghana, sell your viewers something that continues what your videos teach or show: a guide, a course, a paid class, a membership or merch, and add a tip link. On Paylead, viewers pay by MoMo or card from the link in your description, and digital products and courses deliver themselves.
What YouTubers sell
- A guide or template your videos talk about: sell a digital download.
- A full course that goes deeper than YouTube: create an online course.
- Live classes or workshops: set up a webinar.
- A membership with extra videos and a private group (Pro): sell a subscription.
- Merch: add a physical product.
- Tips: how to accept tips.
Step by step
- Create your free Paylead account.
- Create your first product: start with the thing viewers already ask you for in comments.
- Put the link in the first line of every video description and in a pinned comment.
- Mention it in the video, at the moment it is useful ("I put the full template in the description").
- Collect emails with a free download, so you can reach viewers outside YouTube: how to build an email list.
