In this blog, I will share all the possible methods that are helping me to earn money from my YouTube channel with my canva expertise even without the YouTube monetization program. Many Canva experts around the world are using the same techniques to increase their online passive income through YouTube. 

Let's learn some active and passive income ideas today through different ways of YouTube monetization with canva online.  

Add canva affiliate links in the video description

Apply for the Canva affiliate program through your blog or YouTube channel and earn a commission of up to 80% for each successful referral for a canva Pro subscription. 

How to add the affiliate link in the video description?

Canva provides the opportunity to create deep links for any of their canva.com URL. That means you can create an affiliate link from the canva website for a template, posts design or blog/article, etc. See below for an example for your reference

 

I use the same technique to add the affiliate links for each of my YouTube videos. See the below snippet from one of my videos. In this tutorial, I had shared the process of color selection in canva. I created a deep link for canva color wheel from their website and pasted it in my video description. This is the correct way to motivate your audience to click on your affiliate links because they will see the value for themselves while moving on through your specific links.

What if you have a channel for Travel, Beauty, Cooking, etc.

No need to worry. You can apply affiliate links as per the below-given examples and can monetize your YouTube channel with canva online for affiliate earning. 

Travel - Canva has many photos and video editing features so you can attract your audience to use those features while sharing any photography tips in your videos. You can also motivate them to become canva contributors where they can share their photos to canva and upon approval, they can earn royalties.

Canva is an online platform not just to design anything like logos, social media posts, flyers, banners, youtube thumbnails, invitation cards, etc but also integrated with many super applications. i.e smartmockups and background remover, etc 

Canva presentations, windows screen recorder, and video editing features are unique among other similar platforms. As a canva champion, I can proudly say that there are no alternatives to canva. The recent collaboration of canva with a flourish (an online data visualization and storytelling platform) has taken it to the next level.
