Alternate Monetization Methods - Compilation Videos

aVeryLargeMan said:

Hey, I have been developing a YT bot for a while now that is capable of compiling videos from other social media platforms and uploading them to YT. I have had some success and my channels are growing steadily. I have recently read the monetization guide lines and they say specifically that channels who's videos consist of "Short videos you compiled from other social media websites" are not eligible. I want to know if there are anyways I can still make money from the views I'm getting. My content varies a lot between channels, mostly "meme" videos, cute animals and streaming/gameplay highlights. Thanks for any help

I'm a programmer and developed it with a friend. Its fairly basic but can generate more or less unlimited medium quality content. We saw a lot of people doing the same sort of thing by hand so tried to automate the process.

Yes i got one, a good one that i did myself on one channel. I used text to speech but now that youtube is demonitizing text to speech videos i will use my own voice so keep that in mind. I made 10stupid silly short videos myself from the outside world with my phone, like really they were mental. I posted that link through a lot of social medias, from russian forum to etc. BUT I also bought youtube views + subscribers and as soon as i had enough to monatize my channel, i was ready to go, i had around 50k + views on every video through social media and fake subscribers through the service, i even bought a lot of fake "comments" i spend around 57$~ on all of that and as soon as my channel got monetized i pumped out compilation videos, like seriously. I used text to speech to start the video off, i put numbers from top 20 funniest memes, to top 20 weirdest things you will ever see, postet them on comments in twitter and more.
Not only did they grow massively i gained a lot of money out of those.
Ofc i won't give too many details because it would take me days to tell you all of that.
ALSO, heads up for your programming skills, thought about the same thing with c# or zennoposter great idea!
Maybe i should do that haha, because i currently use my zennoposter to send my links through the web.

Thanks for the advice
So if I were to get my hands on a monetized channel you think I could upload the videos to that and get adds on them without any issues?

Deactivate your adblock and open up youtube..type in "funny animal" click on the 58~79million views video, the first one you see. Bam ads.
Ofc they could copyright strike you, keep that in mind if you do that, but this only happens if you take videos from big youtubers(or music that is copyrighted), which is rarely the case. i actually made a video today to test, i actually have a youtube channel where i constantly upload to see the quality of it on youtube, later i most often delete it if I don't like it. But please don't like it and don't subscribe to it, it has 0 impressions and thats where i want to keep it.
But on my main channel the videos look a bit like this.

this link is only for educational purposes. Sadly the quality of the video isn't as good as i hoped, so i'm probably not gonna upload it to the main channel and delete it soon. Wanted to build a minecraft quiz channel from this channel but i don't have the time for that and because youtube is demonitizing text-to-speech it won't really help me to get it monetized. So keep i'll keep that account empty.

Unfortunately I don't really have an answer either. I struggled myself with monetizing music channels. Most CPA stuff looks super spammy and annoying. Affiliate programs like Amazon are hard to implement with diverse demographics / geos. A while ago I saw lots of folks setting up their own online shops and sell tshirts etc. Not sure how profitable that is tho and again probably hard to do when your audience is
very versatile.

Out of curiosity, would you be willing to share a little bit more about what your bot works?
Is it simple youtube_dl + ffmpeg + youtube api or how did you make it happen?
