Alright, brace yourselves, folks. We’re diving deep into the realm of nano influencers and the fascinating world of YouTube shorts monetization!

Video mentioned: How much money I made from YouTube Shorts in the first month (January 2023 update)
If you’re a creator who’s managed to endure 4,000 watch hours of your content (and you haven’t fled the scene screaming), well, first of all, you’re more patient than a sloth on sedatives. And second, congrats on hitting 1,000 subscribers! You’re basically the Kim Kardashian of micro-influencing.
Now, to the matter at hand: to short or not to short? That is the question. Shakespeare would be proud. When YouTube shorts came around in February 2023, many of us scratched our heads and thought, “Great, another thing I need to learn. As if remembering my own name wasn’t hard enough.”
Well, here’s the big reveal: I’ve been testing it out, and spoiler alert: YouTube shorts are paying for my coffee addiction. Now, who wouldn’t want their daily dose of caffeine covered by ad revenue? For all you bean counters out there, in just a couple of days, YouTube had already started piling up some change for me.
Let’s play the numbers game, shall we? On February 2nd, one day after revenue was enabled, my income jumped from 400 to a suddenly-not-so-paltry 533. That’s a leap bigger than what my cat does when she sees a cucumber. If you’re as perplexed as she is, take a look at this: my shorts estimated revenue alone stands at $25. And no, we’re not talking about the price tag on a pair of fancy shorts.
Let’s not forget the RPM – that’s revenue per mille, not revolutions per minute, though I wouldn’t mind if my bank account could spin that fast. For every 1,000 views, my shorts are churning out a dollar. In the grand scheme of things, it might not sound like much, but remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and my coffee isn’t going to pay for itself.
So, folks, is the short content revolution worth joining? Well, if you’re keen on expanding your content and perhaps even your wallet, why not give it a whirl? Like they say, the more, the merrier. Plus, if you’ve got long-form content, you might already be sitting on a gold mine of potential shorts!

VidIQ: Analyze video data and grow your audience.
Submagic: Transform your short-form videos with AI in seconds!

Now, before I leave you, let’s not forget one last pearl of wisdom: Even if your watch time and YouTube revenue are down by 30 to 40 percent, just remember, there’s always a silver lining. Or, in this case, a potential gold mine in the form of YouTube shorts. And with that, folks, I’m off to brew some more coffee and hunt for the next big wave. Surf’s up, creators!
Frequently asked questions:
How much YouTube Shorts pay for 1 views?
so YouTube Shorts is the new kid on the block where creators can bank. For every grand (1,000) views on your Shorts, you could be cashing in. If your Shorts are popping and getting mad views, you might stack up to $24 per 1k views. But even if it’s just a lil’ bit, you’re looking at about 10 cents for every 1k views.
Does YouTube Shorts pay monthly?
Aight, straight up? Yeah, they do! Last fall, YouTube dropped the deets on their revamped Partner Program with a fresh way to break bread, specially for those Shorts. Every month, they gather the moolah from the advertisers on the Shorts feed and then spread the love with creators based on how many peeps watched their stuff.
How much money do you get for 1 million views on YouTube Shorts a month?
So, how much you make for a cool milli views on YouTube Shorts? Well, it’s a bit tricky ’cause there’s a lot in play. On the real, creators might pocket anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 for that 1 million view mark. But remember, things like the kind of ads, the CPM, and where your audience is at can switch things up.
