If I think someone else YouTube video will get popular, can I monetize that?

If I think a youtube video will get popular, is there anything I can do to buy ads/sell ads to monetize that. Or any other way?

You could offer the owner a fixed payment in return for the rights to future ad revenue from that video.

This assumes the owner is less confident that the video will be popular than you are.

If you have an eye for what videos will work, the consulting industry might be a good fit.

Just think, you too could become a growth hacker. If you dream it, you can do it, reach for the stars and take it to the max...:)
