How to make money on youtube without doing video?

Is it possible to make money on youtube without doing all kind of video creation? like outsource everything. is it profitable?

Yes, it is possible. Just tell or pay some popular guys to put your link in their description and you will get traffic.

Hello, few years ago it was easy to do that, but after last year youtube has made lots of changes. one of them is huge change in monetization, lots of channels are affected. even channels with million subscribers was not spared, and demonetized. So answer for your question, yes there are few Blackhat method to do it that still works, is to have monetized channel, or if not buy it, it has few threads here selling monetized youtube channels. After that, go to trending news or google trend to find out what is the latest and most searching that day, find on internet some video about that. upload to your account, with tittle that is trended that day, and you will receive lots of views, after that do that with second video and so on, but need to be careful when choosing videos, and if you not doing properly .... you can get community guidance strike, or Copyright strike, and you account will be demonetized.

Hope this info was helpful to you.
Good luck mate

Try sponsoring other YouTubers instead. They are always looking for ways to make money.

Yes. Bye some google stock.

You can try to drop your link in the comment section, although most other commenters absolutely hate that. Not to mention that the YouTubers who made the videos you're commenting under can block you.
You can always try to sponsor another YouTuber and having them promote your products, if you have any. Just, please, do your research on the specific person you want to approach and don't target people who are too famous right away.

comment method's died and resurrected more times than JC. search trending games like "fortnite" and look @ comments board.... you'll see the gist of it.
buying shoutouts/sponsoring is another idea. pitch content creators on shoutouting out your link at the start/end of their video, in return for your $ up front.
unless you mean paying someone else to make the videos for you. i imagine anything can be profitable if you dedicate enough effort to it.
