Just remember that YouTube is still essentially a search engine, just like Google search, and seo and your content strategy will play a major role in whether or not your videos will rank. For new affiliates, I recommend learning as much as you can about SEO and ranking your videos. Otherwise, you risk not earning as much in payouts if no one sees your videos in the first place.
In case they don’t have an affiliate program, don’t worry. You’ll still have other products on your list that you can make commissions with.

Affiliate marketing is more complex than a simple “Affiliates” page in your site footer. It’s a marketing channel of its own that deserves the same attention as any other. Focus on optimizing the quality of traffic your affiliates send you and the conversion rate of your landing page/offer.Carefully analyze your customer and revenue data so you can properly structure payouts, set guidelines, and measure success.Spend the time to recruit the right affiliates and provide them with everything they need to succeed during the onboarding process.Communicate with your affiliates via affiliate managers and a regular newsletter to ensure insights are shared and everyone is performing as well as they possibly can.Be aware of the methods your affiliates use most often and restrict them based on your brand/existing efforts, if necessary.Always test your landing pages and offers. Also, calculate individual affiliate conversion rates.
This content marketing strategy will be the backbone of your affiliate promotional efforts.
