How to monetize a growing YT channel

[MightyCreation]

One of my channels in the Pokemon niche is growing a lot lately and I want to monetize it in other ways than adsense.
I'm thinking affiliate promotion but I can't find any product that match the audience.
Does any of you guys know any affiliate product that can be useful.

A quick rundown of my subsribers demographic
age: 18-34
Gender: Male
Country: USA (mostly), Brazil
Interest: drawing, Pokemon art, Pokemon main game or similar games

So far, I'm considering promoting Adobe Photoshop affiliate program.
Maybe create some merch, settup a Patreon...

Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Based on those interest I assume they watch you draw pokemon?
Why not create a course based on drawing in Photoshop/Illustrator etc?
You could go into different niches (not only Pokemon) and teach people how to become a graphic artist.

Great idea. My problem is time. I barely have enough time to create the videos.
That's why I'm looking for something I can quickly put together or promote.
But I like your idea. I'll try to see if I can colaborate with someone on creating the course.

Patreon is good and simple.
Do you have any experience with it?

The advantage of a course would be that you only have the work once. After that you can basically promote it everywhere, even outside of YouTube. Think Udemy, Skillshare etc.
Your YouTube account could help you kickstart that course and rank higher on the other platforms.

Why not a course on how you grew your channel so fast ?

That will be a great way to get into the world of courses.
I'll look into how I can do it.

Good idea but such a course would target a different type of audience than my current subscribers

Ask subs if they are interested in buying pokemon figurines
Go for poll or video to test the response if positive find wholeseller and sell them to reachable locations

Create beginners/Expert course about character drawing sell them

I'm not sure about selling figurines, I've tried it on a similar channel and it didn't work.
A poll seems like a good idea to find out what could be an option.
Thanks!
