What methods work best for making money from YouTube besides ads?
I’d love to hear what has worked for others.

Advertising is only part of it. You may earn more with affiliate programs, sponsorships, digital products, memberships, and even sending traffic back to your website/service than AdSense when targeting the right people. Build trust first, money will come after that.

Sponsorships can be a good option once the channel has a clear audience. Brands usually care more about the right viewers than just a huge subscriber count.

Affiliate marketing has worked well for many channels because it is not completely dependent on ad revenue

Choosing products that match your audience usually gives better results

The best approach is not to rely only on YouTube ads. You can also generate income through sponsorships, affiliate links, selling your own products or services, and channel memberships. Building a loyal audience first makes all of these opportunities much easier and more sustainable.

First create value and then monetization will be considered as option to promote product or service.

It's better that you share some information about your niche so that you can get better suggestions for monetization.
