YouTube is the world's second-largest search engine after Google, as well as the world's largest video search engine. It is a video platform that makes a lot of millionaires every year. YouTube gives you the opportunity to earn income when people watch the videos you upload. Some people are making a fortune from doing this.

How much money can you make on YouTube? It all depends on the topic of your videos, how many subscribers you have, and how you monetize your videos. On average, the amount a YouTuber makes per 1 million views is something between $1,500 USD and $3,500 USD. The pay rate varies a lot depending on the type of content and other revenue streams there are.

Did you know that you really do not need to create your own videos in order to make money on YouTube? Copyright restrictions prohibit you from using other YouTubers' original videos for your own benefit, but you can make money on YouTube without making videos by using something called "Creative Commons."

When a new YouTube video is uploaded, the original video owner has the option to allow others to use their videos without copyright restrictions. The original YouTube video will be marked with CC, which stands for Creative Commons.

How to make money on YouTube without making videos? 

You simply create a brand new YouTube channel and use Creative Commons videos.

Step #1: You need to identify your niche!
Finding the best Creative Commons videos is the most important step in this process. Choose a niche that you are extremely passionate about, such as a hobby, for the best results. The niche should also be something that can earn you money today, tomorrow, next week, next year, etc.

The best way to find the perfect Creative Commons videos to use is by doing keyword research. You need to know what people are searching for on YouTube. When you know this, you are on your way to a nice income. There is a great, free keyword tool that you can use for this purpose: WordTracker.com.

Step #2: You need to create your YouTube channel!
Just head over to YouTube.com and create your new channel. It is free and will take just a few minutes.

Step #3: Find the right Creative Commons-licensed videos and re-publish them on your channel!

A: First, sign in to your YouTube account.
B: Next, type in one of your keywords (which you found on WordTracker) in the search bar. Then a list of videos pops up.
C: Click the "filters" icon in the top left-hand corner of the first video.
D: Choose "features" and choose the option that says "Creative Commons."

Step 4: Increase the Views of Your Videos!
Optimizing your videos is very important. It helps you get enough views on your videos to make money. You must optimize your videos so that they can be found easily on YouTube as well as when someone types the keyword phrase into Google or another search engine.

Optimizing your videos on YouTube is simple. Enter your video title that includes the keyword phrase and find a thumbnail image (Canva.com has thousands of images you can use). You should also tell a small story about the video in the description section. Again, include your keyword phrase in the description.

Step #5: Start Making Money From Your Videos!
Your main goal is obviously to make money from your videos. This is done by monetizing your channel. The first thing to do is create a Google Adsense account and enable monetization inside your YouTube account.

Making money on YouTube without creating your own videos can be really profitable, and it is one of the easiest ways to make money online without a website. You just need to be consistent. If you set a goal of making 2 or 3 videos per day, you will soon be earning at least $100+ USD per day from YouTube.

Step #6 Bonus: You can also make money on YouTube without any of your own videos at all.
