AdSense has been the main way to make money on YouTube since the platform first introduced its partnership program. However, over the past year, changes to YouTube’s monetization policy has made it more challenging for creators to earn their income through AdSense. Thankfully, there are plenty of other ways vloggers can make money on their videos.
Here are five ways to make money on your YouTube videos without AdSense.
1. Sign up for a sponsorship marketplace.
A lot of vloggers make money through sponsorships. No matter the size of your channel, you can find sponsors through sponsorship marketplaces. Sign up for sites such as Famebit to find companies who want to work with you.

2. Launch a line of channel merch.
People love to represent their favorite teams and fandoms by wearing t-shirts and hats bearing logos. YouTube fans love to do the same with YouTube merch. Any vlogger can easily design and sell his or her own channel merch online.

You guys… these Playlist vlogs are SO FUNNY HAHAHA. There’s 3 in total (one for each day) so I’m gonna probably post one per week then have all the outtakes/bloopers on my Patreon.

4. Share your industry secrets with an ebook.
As a vlogger, you’re qualified as an expert in something, whether it be your channel niche or YouTube itself. Whatever it is you’re best at, share your secrets in an easily accessible ebook. You can easily sell the ebook online through Amazon.
