Selling Products Through YouTube Video Description

[cyberjix]

Hi guys,

I've been a YouTube user for a very long time. I have made several YouTube channels that are very successful with millions of views.

Recently I have been seeing many YouTube channel's advertising their website products right under the description of their videos.

Here is the one example:

I am wondering how are they able to implement the products right under the video description like that? I know that this is not a sponsored post because sponsored posts have a little sign in upper right-hand corner stating "AD" on it.

Just like this:

When I hover over the little "I" sign on the original post it says the following:

I am trying to understand how this works because there is not much information out there and also when I do go on my channel on one of my videos, there is no option to add any products.

Let me know If you guys have any information on this matter.

This is done through Google Ads (AdWords). Very effective if done correctly.
