Ways to Generate Income for my 5k+ Sub YT Channel (alien.top)

Been running my channel for over 3 years now and recently had a massive surge in growth and channel now sits at about 5.5k and growing at around 100 per day.

It's kind of in the self-development niche but rather than me offering advice like every other channel in the same niche, I'm sharing my experiences of what I've been doing to develop myself.

Channel is obviously now monetised but it will be a long time before I can replace my 9-5 income off of that.

I would love to give this more time and energy and I'm wondering if you had any suggestions on how I can monetise my audience?

There's patreon but I'd prefer to feel like I was giving something in exchange for their money and again, I don't think it would be job-replacing income.

The other thing I've thought about is some kind of life-coaching/accountability. Never done it professionally but I've always been told I'm great with advice and communication.

Can you think of any other ways I might be able to monetise my audience?

So I don’t have experience with YT, still this might spark some ideas.

I’d make sure to keep my focus on 1 thing: either (1) improving my content to increase subscriber base and creating a movement (while learning and improving myself, since it’s in that industry), or (2) keep pushing content, but have your focus on creating something that your audience loves. This might sound general, but that’s because you might not know yet what that thing is (in that case, I think asking your audience is the right move… “what are you struggling with the most when planning your days?” or whatever). Something that complements your own content, creating an image of expertise.

Since you’re showing your own progress and reporting back to them, you’re already establishing yourself in this industry, which is of great long term value.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I have been asked by lots of subscribers now to start some kind of community where they can connect with each other. Been hesistant to start though as I don't want something I need to be heavily involved in.

Would be a good space to communicate with my biggest supporters and ask them what they're looking for...
