Your audience might not follow you on every platform, so having merch accessible on your channel makes it easy to monetize your content. Stop stressing about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/adsense\/start\/resources\/monetization-tips-to-optimize-google-adsense\/\">AdSense<\/a> and sell your products on YouTube!<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Showcase Your Products on YouTube Video\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/523posj51k?dnt=1#?secret=awOiKjqHp9\" data-secret=\"awOiKjqHp9\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"780\" height=\"444\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Where You Can Feature Products:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your channel\u2019s store<\/li>\n<li>End screens<\/li>\n<li>Product section below your videos and live streams<\/li>\n<li>As a pinned product in live streams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But first you&#8217;ve got to connect your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreadshop.com\/?affiliateid=13344\">Spreadshop<\/a> to your YouTube channel!
