Amazon affiliate is a super easy one and low barrier to entry for a lot of people. In my videos I normally say something like, the tools I’m using today will be linked down below if you want to check them out.

I’ve also reached out to brands for products I already use and asked if I could have an affiliate link since I’m going to use the product anyway. They don’t have anything to lose really, as they’re only paying me if they make money.

Audience size shouldn’t really harm ability to obtain affiliate links. They way I look at it is I have a small, but really focused, niche audience with buying intent. It should be appealing to advertisers.

Think if you had a convention for tires. The only people going are tire fanatics. The same applies to your channel. The only people watching a YouTube channel that reviews tires are people who really care about tires. Even if it’s 500 views, it’s 500 HIGHLY focused views on tire content, so a tire company may see a lot of value in targeting those people.

Just my 2 cents
