Tutorial-style YouTube content that answers specific “how to” questions can generate income for years after you publish.

Whitney [Bonds] experienced this firsthand with her How to Set Up an LLC video. After seeing a competitor’s 2022 video get 700,000 views, she created an updated version for 2025.

Whitney actually published her video in April 2023, but has updated the title each year since

Her video now has over 200,000 views and has generated more than $30,000 in ad revenue plus over $100,000 in affiliate commissions.

To get started, look for successful videos in your area of expertise that are 1-2 years old. Create updated versions with your own perspective and better information.

Whitney does have a well-established YouTube channel (193K subs)

But this sounds like a reliable strategy for YouTube success for new and old channels alike.
