But you can make it because these choices of work are not that hard to do. So take a look at the methods or techniques or Ways to make money on YouTube without making videos.

#1 Work for other YouTube Channels 

This is the most profitable, hassle-free, tension-free, and best way to make money on youtube without making videos. There are thousands of youtube channels in every country in the world that make videos with more than a handful of people. Like entertainment or drama channels. They need people to act in their videos. You can work for them. You can work for more than 1 YouTube Channel on a daily, weekly, or even monthly payment basis. Like Newsreader for a News YouTube Channel, Actor in an Entertainment or Drama Episodic way YouTube Channel, or even dubbing artist in animated shows or stories YouTube Channel. You can also work as a cooking chef, drawing artist, astrologer, newsreader, actor, dancer, and so on.

#2 Uploading Amazon Product Videos

You can download Amazon's product videos directly from the Amazon website via any browser plugin or downloading website and upload them into your Product Review YouTube Channel with an affiliate link or your Product Review website link (with Adsense) for profit. Just keep in mind that you should only download Amazon product videos from the Product Owner or company or Amazon's product videos, not by a third party or YouTube channel's videos. Because on Amazon's product page, the youtube channel's product reviews are also there. Amazon uses them with permission. If you download these videos and upload them on your YouTube channel, it will be a violation of youtube's copyright policy and your account can be suspended. So watch carefully before downloading the video to use for your Channel.

#3 Uploading Stock Footage

Download free stock footage from any Creative Commons Free to Use Stock Footage for Commercial Purpose, from dozens of free stock footage websites and upload them direct into your YouTube Channel and monetize them and earn money. This is by far the easiest way to make money on youtube without making videos. You can add music or sound too from YouTube Audio Library to enhance the videos. If you upload 10-15 videos daily and after 1 year you upload approximately 4000 videos and 1% of them goes viral, you're done. You can make a streaming income from them because stock footage videos show expensive ads, and this is my real-life experience.  

#4 Using other people for your YouTube Channel

From making a YouTube Channel, Making videos and editing, to uploading, you can hire people to do all this if you have some money to invest from start. You can hire people to act in your videos in any genre or category you want. A newsreader, a chef to cook, a dancer, a guitar player, a bodybuilder, a fitness expert, a prankster, a gymnastic, a stand-up comedian, etc. Anything you want. You can also hire a cameraman and editor to shoot, edit and upload your videos. If you can't even write the script for your video, you can also hire a scriptwriter too.
