YouTube released its own version of TikTok, called YouTube Shorts. Creators can join the platform’s revenue-sharing program for earning if they have at least 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views in the past three months. In addition, YouTube also launched a new way for creators to permit music for their videos and still get paid for views through the ad revenue sharing program. In the last 3 years, YouTube has given more than $30 billion to its creators.
In this article, we'll show you how to use YouTube shorts to earn money for your channel.
How to make YouTube Shorts:
To make a Short, you can record and edit immediately within the YouTube app (just like TikTok), or you can film and edit somewhere else and post to YouTube if that’s more your style. They will then live on the Shorts shelf on the homepage of YouTube.
Furthermore, you can make money in a few ways with YouTube Shorts. For example, if you want to know more about it, let's dive in:
1. YouTube has created a $100 million Shorts Fund.
The site promises to give creators monthly bonuses from this fund, depending on how well their short videos did in the previous month. As soon as creators meet these requirements, they have a chance to get a bonus. Many successful creators have been making videos for a while now, so they are in a great position to make money with this new opportunity. To help creators qualify for their bonuses, YouTube has made some changes:
2. Ad Revenue from Youtube:
Today, Shorts are not part of the platform's official way to make money. As a Shorts creator, you can't join the Youtube Partner Program unless you have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours from people who have watched your long-form videos. And as a result, there is no way to make money from ads on short, vertical content. However, this changes with the new Partnership Program. By joining this way you will be able to make money from ads on shorts and interesting videos and also will have access to more ways to make money.
3. Sponsership
If you want to make money online, there are several ways to do it. You can start a blog and sell ads, or you can make videos and sell sponsorships. The YouTube Shorts fund isn’t the easiest thing. There are thousands of creators trying to win the monthly bonus, and most of them have Shorts that millions of people watch.
To make money from YouTube Shorts, follow these tips:
- Use the Adsense program on YouTube. You can then put ads on your videos and get earnings every time when someone clicks on them.
- Also, use your videos to sell things. You can use your YouTube Shorts to promote a product or service you want to sell and earn money.
- Join YouTube as a partner. This will let you use more features that will help you make money from your channel
How to receive money from YouTube:
- To start making money from YouTube, you’ll need to create your account with YouTube and link your Google AdSense account.
- Each month, between the 8th and 10th, YouTube will send you an email telling you that you have a Shorts bonus to claim.
- You must claim your bonus by the 25th of that month or it is gone. Once you get your money into your Google AdSense account, the cycle of making things, putting them online, and paying starts all over again.
