How to Increase YouTube Revenue with Passive Affiliate Revenue
How do you increase YouTube revenue? This is the penultimate question for thousands of YouTubers today—How can you unlock the secrets to dramatically increase your YouTube income through practical methods that genuinely produce results? Wouldn’t it be incredible if you could add another stream of passive income to your channel? What if I told you I created a system to do exactly that, and you don’t have to build any websites or lead generation systems. You don’t have to create courses or original content to sell. I created the products, and the entire marketing and payment processing system. The products are eBooks and audiobooks, and you can promote books that perfectly align with your YouTube channel. Imagine additional YouTube revenue with a 30% affiliate fee. Sound too good to be true?
Hi. I’m Chuck Marunde. I practiced law for 20 years, so I’m quite familiar with the phrase “too good to be true,” especially with all the clickbait on YouTube. What I’m about to share with you is not only true, it can work for anyone, even someone with no background in sales and marketing. The only requirement is that you must have your own YouTube channel, podcast or social media.
I’ve written and published over 60 books myself and I have a nice monthly income from my books. You may have heard that when someone succeeds in reaching big financial goals in life, they usually want to move into the next phase, which is sharing what they’ve learned to help other people improve the quality of their lives. “Pay it forward,” so to speak. I’ve learned that money is only one measure of success in this life. What you do with your time and talent to help others is the key to leaving a legacy that leaves the world a little better because of you. But how can you do this with the time that you have?
I love what Gandalf said to Frodo in The Lord of The Rings when they were deep within the caves of Moria. They were sitting on stone stairs in a dark and gloomy place, hanging onto the hope that they would somehow escape the grip of that evil place and reach the surface and sunlight again. Frodo expressed how he regretted being caught up in such evil times. Gandalf’s reply is classic: “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us”.
Honestly, sometimes it feels like we’re in middle-Earth battling all kinds of evil forces when all we’re trying to do is make an honest living. I want to show you how to leverage your YouTube channel or your podcast to stand against those forces so you can improve the quality of your life dramatically.

Is it true that people aren’t reading books anymore? People are reading books, but the way they’re reading is changing. Ebooks make up 21% of all book sales in the U.S., and the U.S. has 30-35% of global eBook sales. Millennials love audiobooks, and they listen while driving in their vehicles. 60-65% of all books sold are still paperbacks sold to the 50+ age group. Here’s what you’ll want to know. Your best opportunity in affiliate sales is clearly in eBook sales, a digital edition that can be purchased online and immediately downloaded. How big is the eBook market? In 2020, over 191 million eBooks were sold in the U.S. and this is expected to increase in the years ahead. This represents almost $2 billion dollars a year in retail sales. Do you see why this is such an extraordinary opportunity for your channel?
Imagine this: Every time someone purchases a book through your Affiliate link, you earn a generous 30% affiliate fee. You can share life-changing books with your audience on topics that support your channel, and we take care of the rest. It’s simple, seamless, and built for creators like you who are ready to grow their brand and add another stream of revenue to their channel. Here’s how It works, and it’s surprisingly simple:
1. Sign Up for Free: Register for our Affiliate Program—it’s 100% free and will remain that way. 2. Get Approved: Our team reviews your application, and once approved, you’ll receive a unique Affiliate link. 3. Share Your Link: Promote your Affiliate link wherever you like—YouTube videos, blogs, social media, newsletters, or even emails to your subscribers. I created videos to show you how to do that. 4. Track Your Success: Log into your Affiliate dashboard to see referrals, earnings, and performance metrics. 5. Get Paid: Receive timely payments directly to your bank account, with complete transparency and accountability.
How much can you earn with this affiliate system? First, I offer no guarantees, but you can have fun playing with some numbers with your own YouTube channel. Take the number of views you’ve had on your channel, and let’s be conservative and say that you only sell one book to 1 in 1,000 viewers. Granted, some viewers will view more than one video, but let’s keep the math simple. Let’s say that book is $10, so your affiliate share at 30% would be $3 per book.
Let’s use a real YouTube channel as an example. I get a kick out of Jesse’s videos on his YouTube channel titled “Jesse on Fire” where he has a total of 417,000 subscribers. Since he joined in August of 2006, he’s had a total of 79 million views on all his videos. If only 1 out of 1,000 of his viewers purchased one book (not monthly and not annually, but just a one-time purchase), then he would have sold 79,000 books since 2006 and earned a passive income automatically deposited into his bank account in the amount of $237,000. Not bad for a passive income, right?
Here’s another excellent example of a big Youtube channel that could earn a fortune as an affiliate. Dave Rubin does “The Rubin Report” and he has 2.68 million YouTube subscribers, and total views of 1.72 billion since September 5th of 2015. If only 1 in 1,000 viewers purchased a book once (not monthly and not annually) with an affiliate fee of $3 on each sale, he would have earned a total of $5,160,000. Even if only 1 in 10,000 viewers purchased a book, Dave would have earned $516,000.
You may be one who says, “But I’m not one of the big YouTubers with lots of viewers and subscribers.” Okay, even if you have a small YouTube channel or a small X or Spotify or Rumble Podcast, wouldn’t it be great to have an extra $300 to $600 per month? This is very doable. If your affiliate link sold an average of 200 books a month with an affiliate fee of $3, your monthly passive income would be $600. Retirees can become affiliates and add to their social security income and get some financial relief in these challenging times. I’ll let you in on a secret, though. While YouTube is one of the best ways to share your affiliate link, you do not have to have a YouTube channel. You can post your affiliate links on other platforms or social media sites. You see, the way you make money is by sharing your link wherever people are on the Internet. You get to decide when and where to do that. What I’m offering you are the tools to do that. I’m giving you a potential added revenue source, and I charge you absolutely nothing to register as an affiliate, and there’s no subscription or monthly fees. I hope you understand this system is risk free for you. Of course, it will take time and diligence to build a healthy passive income by posting your link persistently, but seriously if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, where are you going to find a better opportunity than this when it comes to building your YouTube or podcasting income?
Unlike YouTube, BooksOnline.Club won’t censor you because of book content or suddenly suspend your revenue, or terminate your entire channel for violating ambiguous terms of service. It happened to Dr. Steve Turley. One day his YouTube channel was fully monetized with hundreds of thousands of viewers, and the next day his channel was totally de-monetized. All his income through the YouTube advertising program went poof in a single day! With a large staff to pay and costs to operate his channel it was a nightmare!
Amazon does have their version of an affiliate program, which they call an “Associate Program,” but you won’t qualify unless you already have a large Internet presence or large lead generation system for the specific Amazon product you want to promote, and their program only pays something like 5% on digital books. Compare that to our 30% payout.
You can learn more about all the benefits of BooksOnline.Club compared to Amazon, but here’s one you’ll love. Another big difference between Amazon books and the books purchased at BooksOnline.Club is ownership. When a consumer buys a book on Amazon, they don’t own the book—they only purchased a license to access the book on Amazon’s servers, so if Amazon deletes it on their server or revokes your license to access it, it is automatically deleted on your digital reader. When someone purchases a book at BooksOnline.Club, they own the book they bought, subject to copyright laws. This means the book resides on the device to which it was downloaded, so it can’t get automatically censored or deleted.
Here’s a question for you. Why do you have a YouTube channel or a podcast? Are you passionate about a message you share on your YouTube channel? That’s usually what motivates someone to start a YouTube channel or a podcast on any platform—some kind of passion to help people live better lives, or a passion for the political or religious or scientific. Or maybe you create online courses, or you’re a life-coach helping people start a business or overcome personal challenges. Maybe your passion is physical or mental health, so you have a channel that exposes myths, and you teach people preventive healthcare. Whatever your passion, you may be very articulate and you may produce great videos, but the question remains. How do you increase your channel income? How do you monetize what you do so well? You can identify a book on our site that aligns with your message, and share your affiliate link with the world. If you authored your own book, ask us about hosting and selling your book on our site and including it in our affiliate program. This affiliate system is the most powerful way to motivate others to join you to spread your message as well as to sell your book. So how can you recruit a big sales force without paying them yourself? The answer is an affiliate program that automatically pays them out of the sales price. Now are you beginning to see why this affiliate program is so doggone powerful?
If you register, you’ll learn that you don’t have to depend solely on affiliate links in your YouTube video descriptions. You can post your affiliate links all over the Internet, and you can post on all the social media sites, too. In other words, your audience is not limited to your YouTube viewers or subscribers. I show you in one of our video guides how to quickly post your link on X or any social media site. It takes less than 60 seconds to post a link on X that can reach thousands of people. What if you did that several times throughout the week? What if you did it every day?
There’s another very important reason to build your affiliate income now. If you had a passive income of $40,000 today from investments, how much would you need to have invested? According to many financial advisers, the answer would be $1 million in assets giving you a steady 4% return. This is extremely important, because the key to a happy lifestyle is not the total value of your assets–It’s your annual disposable income while living within your means. An affiliate income allows you to build your disposable income without amassing a large retirement fund. You might be too old to amass a large investment fund so you can retire, but you’re not too old to build a large disposable income now. This alone could be the best reason to become an affiliate.
By the way, my disclaimer is that I guarantee nothing with this affiliate program. You might not sell a single book or earn a single fee while you’re in the program. These examples are nothing more than illustrations so you can understand how the math works in a 30% affiliate program. What I can tell you is that it’s risk free since you pay me nothing to register and it costs you nothing to be in the program. I am the one who bears all the risk and costs of operating this business. I should also tell you that if someone buys a book they enjoy, they are likely to come back and buy another book, and if you don’t know already, online product sales successfully marketed can sell 3 or 4 more products after the first sale. This is called upselling or cross-selling. A customer’s LTV (life time value) can be 3 or 4 times the initial sale. As long as the consumer likes the first product, they often come back when you offer them something else they also like. Don’t underestimate cross sales or repeat sales. I have an 8-book series, and some of my customers told me that after they bought the first one or two books in the series, they decided to buy the entire series and recommend them to everyone they know.
As a passive source of income considering that I’ve done all the work for you, how can you refuse this kind of no-brainer offer? There are other ways you will see your affiliate income get a boost from time to time. I have a book titled “Manage Your Energy Not Your Time,” and every so often I notice that someone has purchased 25 copies, more or less, all at once. That tells me someone purchased copies for a group of students or a seminar, and when that happens, your 30% gets a nice bump. You can share your link on social media all over the Internet every day if you want to. I have videos and articles that show you exactly how to do that. We’re careful to maintain all FTC requirements for an affiliate program like his, and you’ll find detailed guidelines and disclosures on our website. Still think this is too good to be true? This affiliate program is not hard to implement, but you have to take the first step and register. I’ve included key links in the description below this video. If someone you know has a successful YouTube channel or has a large podcasting or social media channel, share the link of this video with them, so they can increase their Youtube income with a passive affiliate income.
