YouTube Channel Monetization

Dear Warriors, There's something that have been bugging me, i really want you experts to make it clear for me.

YouTube: I have heard people monetize their YouTube channel by enabling ads on their videos. I have been researching on the TYPE of CHANNELS and VIDEOS been uploaded by users.

I have also seen accounts that are 3 months old and have 1,000 plus subscribers and have more than a million views. You must be thinking how? That's my question too. The user has uploaded ONLY 12 videos in last month, and has made a strong channel in short period of time.

Can you give me ideas about the videos? I don't want to film myself. How can i make videos?
