Tutorial-style YouTube content that answers specific “how to” questions can generate income for years after you publish.

Whitney [Bonds] experienced this firsthand with her How to Set Up an LLC video. After seeing a competitor’s 2022 video get 700,000 views, she created an updated version for 2025.

Whitney actually published her video in April 2023, but has updated the title each year since 😎

Her video now has over 200,000 views and has generated more than $30,000 in ad revenue plus over $100,000 in affiliate commissions.

To get started, look for successful videos in your area of expertise that are 1-2 years old. Create updated versions with your own perspective and better information.

Whitney does have a well-established YouTube channel (193K subs) 📈

But this sounds like a reliable strategy for YouTube success for new and old channels alike.
