How to make money from YouTube without monetization (READ DESCRIPTION)

steps to make money off of YouTube by copyright claiming a song you created.

1. create a simple song/beat via online tools such as soundtrap or if you have access to FL Studio or Ableton Live you could also use that. (Make sure you don't use any samples [Even royalty-free ones, because someone else may have used that sample and it might not pick up your song] because content id picks up those samples instead)

2. Upload that song to a music distribution service such as DistroKid (https://distrokid.com/) or RouteNote (http://routenote.com/) [I used routenote but I would recommend using distrokid because I had very long wait time with RouteNote]

3. Make sure you select YouTube when you upload your song.

4. Put the song at the end or beginning of your video in something like a end card screen or intro screen.

5. Video will most likely be picked up by content ID (If not, just wait 2 or 3 days)

6. Make profit!

There may be a delay in how long it takes to get your money because YouTube sends revenue to copyright claimants every 45 days from the end of each month ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uWz8tzXgwU
