Making money on Youtube

[Glass]

theres a lot of people doing it and you dont have to put your face online. At least with YT you can have an alias unlike facecrook which insists you link to a real world identity.

I think the people that do the best on YT do put their face on there but it is not always the case. There are some motorcycle YT'ers who stay inside their helmets. Only their voice on line.

As you say there are other avenues but you won't get as much exposure. Places like JustinTV or Vaughnlive, where people broadcast. You could build up a video library and just hit the repeat button and run a 24/7 stream. Or you can run a weekly time slot show.
A lot of people use YT to build a base then "offshore" their material elsewhere. Do a 2 hour show and post 1st hour free on YT. Subscribe the 2nd hour. Some stream live to YT and archive the show elsewhere.

I saw some YT channel where the presenter is simply opening boxes of toys and talking about them. Gets 20 million hits per toy. Mindboggling. Obviously if you have a pet that is cute, lazy, stupid, snores or farts a lot that is YT gold and a sure fire ticket to the high life.
