Can you make money from Youtube shorts?

YouTube creators will soon have the opportunity to monetize their Youtube Shorts videos. This is an important development for YouTube creators who make money from YouTube.

The YPP, Youtube’s formal monetization program, does not include YouTube Shorts. Joining the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) as a Youtube Shorts creator is difficult unless one is releasing long-form videos and hitting the required benchmarks of 1,000 subscriptions and 4,000 watch hours. Additionally, there is no way to monetize short, vertical content with ads.

However, YouTube is altering these criteria. The platform will enable revenue sharing for Shorts advertising as of February 1, 2023. As a result, a creator may now profit from the advertisements that users watch on the Youtube Shorts Feed.

Youtube stated, “from the overall amount allocated to creators, they will keep 45% of the revenue, distributed based on their share of total Shorts views. We expect the majority of our Shorts Fund recipients to earn more money under this new model, which was built for long-term sustainability.

Instead of a fixed fund, we’re doubling down on the revenue-sharing model that has supercharged the creator economy and enabled creators to benefit from the platform’s success.” This is an intriguing approach to rewarding creators and encouraging the entire community to support Shorts.

Creators must first be enrolled in the YouTube Partner Program in order to profit from Shorts monetization. YouTube is adopting new eligibility requirements in order to increase the number of creators with a concentration on shorts who join the Partner Program. By reaching a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views over 90 days, creators will be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program beginning in early 2023.

With this update, creators will be able to join the Youtube Partner Program even if they don’t make long-form videos. When this move is implemented, YouTube will maintain its current requirements, which are 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours. Last but not least, YouTube claims it will drop the fan funding level in early 2023, enabling creators who are not part of the Partner Program to profit from viewer purchases.

If one wants to immediately generate income from YouTube Shorts the $100 million Shorts Fund is one method to go about it. YouTube vowed to reward producers with a monthly “bonus” coming straight from that fund when it made this announcement in 2021. The actual amount of the bonuses, which can vary from $100-10,000, is determined by how well a creator did with Shorts the previous month.

But starting in 2023, this YouTube Shorts incentive will disappear. As previously announced, starting in the following year, creators will generate money from advertising in the Shorts Feed. The final series of Shorts bonuses will therefore be distributed in February 2023. Here are the prerequisites for obtaining a Shorts bonus until then.

Publish an original YouTube short every 180 days and follow the monetization and community rules on YouTube. Once a creator fulfil these conditions, they are eligible to win a Shorts bonus.

Elon Musk intends to allow Twitter users to earn more money from all types of content, potentially providing a more favorable deal than YouTube’s monetization model, as well as allowing people to make Long-Form Tweets, lengthier posts and videos.

This weekend, Twitter’s new buyer, Musk, hinted about the latest features in tweets. Musk responded to influencer Quinn Nelson’s tweet that YouTube “gives creators 55% of ad revenue,” saying, “We can beat that.”

Previously, a content creator stated that if given the right incentives, he would consider posting his full-length and long videos to Twitter.

“If twitter could handle the full length feature videos that I produce and can offer a similar monetization system like YouTube does, I would consider uploading my full videos here too for sure,” wrote user @Erdayastronaut, whose Twitter profile reads: “Professional rocket orientation specialist, explainer of flamey stuff and rocket chaser.”

Musk replied, “We can do 42 min chunks at 1080 resolution now for new Blue, so you could break up a longer video. The 42 min limit should be fixed next month.”

Further details on monetization will be revealed in the coming weeks, according to Musk.

He also stated that Twitter will soon allow users to post long-form tweets which will put an end to the idiocy of notepad screenshots which will be followed by composer monetization for every type of content including videos and paragraphs, he further added.

On Saturday, he promised to offer an improved search function on Twitter saying that the search function reminds him of Infoseek in 1998.

When another user complained, “I have hundreds of videos…. But I’d need to reencode them since twitter is extraordinarily picky about formats,” Musk replied, “Noted to fix.” Then He set his Twitter bio as “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.”

Twitter declared plans for a monthly $7.99 subscription service on Saturday, allowing anyone on Twitter to get a checkmark similar to the celebrities, industries, and political elites you already follow. According to the New York Times, Twitter is postponing this offer due to concerns that it will be abused.

Twitter also announced an impending premium feature that will allow users to have their tweets prioritized over those from accounts that do not have the blue check.
