$10k Per Month From A Demonetized YouTube Channel
PoliceActivityYouTube Channel $10,000 estimated monthly revenue Published July 11, 2024 by Nathaniel LewisReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty PoliceActivity is a YT channel with 5.9 million subscribers and about 50M views per month 
And get this: all their videos are uploads of public record bodycam footage they don’t own!
Started nearly 8 years ago posting police interactions, the channel has since uploaded 1.9k videos of mostly raw footage with minimal editing.
Unfortunately, at some point they got demonetized, so no ad revenue 
Rather than give up, the channel shifted focus to monetizing the audience with Patreon and Amazon affiliate links.
By my math they’re earning around $4K/month from Patreon 
Estimating their Amazon affiliate earnings…
50m monthly viewsClick-through-rate of 0.1%Conversion rate of 1%Average price point of the dashcams the channel suggests (~$300)4% commissionThat’s an additional $6000/month 
So about $10,000 per month overall, and those are pretty conservative estimates.
Just goes to show there are alternative methods to make money with YouTube.

What other freely available footage could you compile into a channel on YouTube, TikTok or elsewhere? 
Maybe add your commentary/voiceover to give it something extra.
