Can you really make money from YouTube videos for kids crafts?

Okey doke, here’s a slightly random one I’ve been mulling over. I picked up a batch of short kids craft videos - 30 seconds to a minute each ... all with PLR rights. You can rebrand them, repost them, and technically monetise them. There are over 200 in total. At first, I thought it sounded ridiculous. I’m in my 50s, my kids are past the glue-and-glitter phase, and I’m definitely not about to sit on camera making paper frogs 😅. But then I started digging into the niche and… it’s surprisingly solid. Family-friendly content has no expiry date. Parents are always searching “easy crafts for kids” or “rainy day ideas.” Teachers use this stuff too. The engagement on these shorts is wild - the completion rates are high, which the algorithms seem to love. So I’m wondering: could a simple YouTube Shorts channel posting these daily actually build consistent income? Even if it’s small - a few dollars here and there from ad views, affiliate links, or craft kit promos - it all adds up. I’m thinking of running a test with a few of these videos on YouTube and maybe Reels to see what happens. Anyone else here tried monetising short-form content like this? I’ve done SEO and parasite stuff for years, but short video feels like a different beast entirely. Curious if anyone’s cracked it - or if I’m about to waste a few evenings finding out 😂.

example of many pins with the label 'AI modified' on it: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/545428204892982752/
if I would put that picture with the beertap straight on my pinterest account, that label would also show on my pin.

Brilliant! Thanks Lizzy Smile

So, forget about YouTube revenue. I must admit, I always thought that would be a bit of a tall order anyway. I'm thinking maybe funnel viewers to an 'exclusive members area' (via an email list) where I provide more value for free and slowly soft-promote affiliate products like that.

I need to take some time off-work and get this set-up!

Of course, I could always just sell all the PLR content in one hit and let someone else think of ways to monetise! In fact, that might be a good shout!

Here's an example of one of the vids. What do you think?

@rohanm looks pretty good! in the past, you could definitely see if it's AI from the fingers and hands, but these nails even look a bit 'dirty', like mine can be when I'm crafting lol. Sounds like a good idea! Good luck!
