Anybody here have experience in monetizing a Youtube channel? I'm about to produce videos for someone who has reasonable name recognition, and I'm almost 100% certain these videos will garner a could hundred thousand views apiece (in 2-3 months). The niche we're in will have viewers that are highly likely to click+buy from advertisements, and the niche is relatively unsaturated. Not a even close to a camwhore/youtube personality
Would there be any benefit to having a website for my videos? As in potential additional monetization?

someone posted a lengthy exposition on reddit about this earlier, it was either bestof , defaultgems or goodlongposts
YouTube unfortunately is always the way to go, unless you already have a large following and even then most would be unwilling to move to a different website to watch videos.
disclaimer: i think about and research this a lot but i haven't done it yet.
imo the only advantage to having a website would be that it would be easier to seo than a youtube page because google gives you points for having the domain name be the searched-for keyword, which should not be hard if you have a sufficiently unique channel name. probably not worth the cost of hosting and (opportunity) cost of design.
also +1 backlink each way is nice. every little bit matters.
Oh by the way, always asks for likes and dislikes. They are both the same and help to make the video more popular.
"if you liked this video leave a like, if you didn't, leave a dislike and tell us why."
