Work with Outside YouTube Partners
This is the preferred way to monetize your videos with advertising.
You aren't placed at any immediate risk of becoming banned in
regards to trivial matters. Couple this with the fact that external
YouTube partnerships are much more flexible. This method will
take a bit of time before you can implement it on your YouTube
channel because you have to build up an audience before you
can become eligible to sign up with these partners. The different
networks will have different criteria for partnering with them, so
you'll have to do your research.
Sell Your Own Merchandise
If you can create products to sell that you target audience might
be interested in, this is an excellent method for indirectly
monetizing your YouTube channel. By leveraging the power of
your brand, you can effectively offer merchandise that pertains to
your channel. This could be anything from custom t-shirts, coffee
mugs with your logo, to information products that you might have
for sale. Whatever it is that you have to offer, you can choose to
use strategically placed, clickable annotations in your videos to
promote your products.
