Many people are mistaken in thinking that you can only make serious bucks on YouTube once you reach the requirements to enter the YouTube Partner Program. They’re wrong.

The truth is, you don’t need thousands of subscribers or millions of views on your YouTube channel. You don’t even need to have a regular audience. All you need to do is make your viewers realize that they want more from you. Once you’ve done that, you’re onto a winner!

To make YouTube work for you, you need to realize it is merely a platform for your other offerings.

All you need to do is upload regularly and then point your viewers through to your money makers. You should do this in your video content, in your pinned comment, and the video description, as well as your channel details.

Now, knowing how to create a committed audience who wants to buy into your brand is a whole other article. For now, let’s go through how you can make some serious cash on YouTube with zero subscribers.

1. Start a Patreon

Love it or hate it, some content creators can make thousands of dollars each month with Patreon.
