How to monetize YouTube Shorts

There are many ways creators can monetize their audience, no matter the size. First and foremost, you need to put yourself out there, and YouTube Shorts is a great place to get your content discovered by others.

To incentivize the creation of Shorts, YouTube has announced that Shorts creators can qualify for the Partner Program and earn ad revenue starting February 2023. To be eligible for the program, Shorts creators will need at least 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views over the last 90 days.

According to YouTube, “in Shorts, ads run between videos in the Shorts Feed. So, every month, revenue from these ads will be added together and used to reward Shorts creators and help cover costs of music licensing.”

From the overall amount allocated to creators, they’ll get to keep 45% of the revenue. Your payout will be determined by your share of total Shorts views, and your revenue share won’t change whether or not you use music in your videos. If you are able to create engaging content and reach a high amount of views with YouTube Shorts, you could have some serious paydays coming your way.
