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.

Accept Donation:

As a creator, you’re contributing your voice to the internet without forcing your audience to pay for admission. So, if it’s good content, your audience might be inclined to support you on an ongoing basis.

Many fan funding platforms offer creators another place for people to discover their content and a way to engage their most loyal audience and reward them for their support.

Wait But Why creates more long-form content than YouTube videos and gets a lot of support from the Patreon community.

Some popular fan funding options include:

  • YouTube’s Fan Funding: This feature on YouTube essentially lets you create a “tipping jar” for your viewers to donate whenever and however much they feel like contributing. You’ll need to set up your YouTube account for advertising as outlined above.
  • Patreon: The membership platform that makes it easy for creators to get paid. Fans can subscribe to their favorite creators for as little as a dollar a month and receive exclusive rewards.
  • Tipeee: Lets you get a combination of both one-off and recurring donations
