How best to monetize a YouTube video?

[Norton Canes]

Say I had a video I thought would get ~1000+ views on YouTube, what would be the best way to generate some revenue from it? I don't have other videos to upload (I haven't even set up a channel yet), I don't want to build a brand or become an influencer or anything (I'm not in the video), I've just got this one thing that a lot of people might want to watch and it would be nice to get some earnings. Set up ads?

1000 views might get you 5 USD apparently.

If it's particularly niche audience, maybe you could arrange an actual sponsor??

I dunno if it still works like this but years ago I think Google used to withhold the income on places using adsense until it hit some threshold, so it wasn't possible to make super small amounts. Might be different if it's directly via one of their websites.

This was a good few years ago, but yes. They ran adverts on here for a month or so, then they said "actually we don't want you, fuck off", but kept the money generated from the adverts.
