Platform programmes
Partner programmes share advertising revenue once you meet their eligibility rules. Read the current requirements and policies on the official site, as they change.
Sponsorships with disclosure
Work with brands that fit your audience and always disclose paid partnerships clearly, as required by platform rules and consumer law in many countries.
Your own products and services
Courses, templates, coaching or consulting usually earn more per viewer than ads. Your videos become proof of your expertise.
Affiliate links, carefully
Recommend only products you know and say clearly that you may earn a commission.
Example
A small business channel
5,000 subscribers: ads cover tools, one sponsor per month, and most income comes from a $49 template pack and coaching calls booked from video descriptions.
