Using Your YouTube Shorts to Make Money

How can you use your YouTube Shorts to make money?

If your goal is to apply to YPP (YouTube Partner Program) and make money from your content, fine. Of course, you get the number of subscribers you need. Yet, you won’t be able to make up for the 4000 Watch Time hours need for the Partner Program with your Short Video shelf.

Why?

On the basis, you don’t earn when Short is watched as Short but as a regular video. And if you intend to make money, keep in mind that the Watch Time hours from the Short Video shelf aren’t considered.

The view of a video is determined by whether the creator earns any ad revenue or any Watch Time from it. So, if a video is watched on a Short Shelf, expect no revenue but if watched through the YouTube player, expect a little revenue.

Summary

In this tutorial, I’ve mentioned the factors for creating Shorts and how to create them. I’ve stated some facts that you may want to keep in mind. If you properly apply the information above, you’ll have no problem adjusting to this new change.

I really thought that you can actually make money with YT Short videos aside from your own content friend. But I guess not as you've explained it well here. I appreciate it. Thanks. All the best!

Hey BrightSales, not at all, video watched as Short will not attract any revenue. Thanks for reading!
