Diversifying Your YouTube Income: 5 Revenue Streams Beyond Ads

Relying solely on ad revenue is risky. Here are the income sources I personally use.

1. Channel Memberships ($180/month)

• $4.99/month subscription model
• Offers exclusive content, badges, and emojis
• Currently around 45 members

2. Super Chat & Super Thanks ($120/month)

• Viewer donations during live streams
• A way for viewers to show appreciation for videos

3. Affiliate Marketing ($350/month)

• Links to products mentioned in videos
• Using Amazon Associates, Coupang Partners

4. Paid Courses/E-books ($280/month)

• Turning my YouTube expertise into paid content
• Sold on platforms like Class101, Taling

5. Brand Sponsorships ($500/video)

• Creating 1-2 sponsored videos per month
• Only choosing brands that align with my channel's identity

Total Revenue Breakdown

• Ad Revenue: 60%
• Other Income: 40%

This allows for stable operation even if ad revenue decreases.

My Advice

Don't rely on a single source of income. Create multiple revenue streams!
