Alternative methods to make money on YouTube other than YouTube Partnership Program
On YouTube, if you have many views and subscribers you can earn money without Adsense.
Here are some of the best ways to earn money from YouTube without Adsense:
Sponsored video:
This works great when you have an established and popular channel. You can get sponsors for your videos who will pay you to show their advertisement at the start or the end of your video.
If your channel is popular, this is one great way to earn huge from YouTube.
Affiliate marketing:
This method will let you earn a large amount in a very short time. All you need to do is pick the right product, create a video around it, and put the link in the description. You earn per sale and usually (depending on the affiliate partner) the payout is pretty nice.
Sell Merchandise:
Selling merchandise — t-shirts, coffee mugs, tote bags, snapbacks, you name it — has a benefit beyond revenue.
It increases your exposure by putting your online brand and personality out there into the offline world and deepens the relationship between you and your fans as they literally “buy into” what you’re doing.
