Your promotional activities start with the content itself. Once you share your work in your known circle, they share it in their circles and it goes on.

Once the initial stage of accumulating viewership is over, you may take things to the next level by opting for YouTube Ad campaigns, which are basically the paid YouTube promotions.
Ever wondered how much YouTubers make per view? It depends entirely on how well you monetize through advertising.
[Tweet "On an average, YouTube’s CPM is around $7.6, which means for every 1000 views, you are paid $7.6."]
On linking your YouTube channel with AdSense you earn 55% of the total Ad revenue. So on an average, for 1000 views you make $1-2.
You may approach any affiliate marketing agency in your niche and offer to link one of their products into your video description. From every conversion, you will receive a decent amount from this agency.
This is popularly seen as a sponsorship for the smaller YouTube channels. The advertising company pays you a certain amount for explicitly describing their products in your videos.
These can directly amass decent revenues if you are actually offering your viewers some valuable information in exchange for reasonable price.
Websites like Wikipedia provide useful information to their audience in exchange for donation to run the websites. This is called crowdsourcing which can be one of the best ways to make money from your YouTube channel if utilized properly.
