Earning money starts with how many subscribers you have from YouTube Shorts, know the new rules

YouTube Shorts Monetization New Rules: If you create YouTube Shorts, you should know how many subscribers and views you need to start earning money. 

YouTube has clarified the rules for earning money from Shorts, but the most common question is how many subscribers you need to start earning from Shorts. 

Under the new monetization model, even small creators can earn money, but they must meet the conditions. Money is distributed based on ad revenue, music usage, and original content.

YPP is required to start earning

Earning money from Shorts isn't directly dependent on subscribers, but rather, participation in YPP is required. To join YPP, you must have 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days. This means that earning money isn't just about increasing subscribers, but also about real views and engagement on Shorts.

Accepting the module is essential to earn from Shorts

Shorts' revenue share will only apply if the creator has accepted the Shorts monetization module. Only views that come after accepting the module are eligible for revenue share. Views before that time are not counted. This rule applies to both ads and YouTube Premium.

How and on which videos do you get revenue?

Revenue is only earned on Shorts that are original and ad-friendly. Shorts that upload clips from other platforms or that use fake view bots are not eligible for revenue. If music is used in the video, revenue is divided between the creator and the music license.

Understand the complete formula for revenue share and payment

Shorts Ad revenue is initially deposited into the Creator Pool. Each creator is then allocated a proportionate share based on their views. 45% of the total revenue goes directly to the creator. 

If music is used, a separate music license fee is deducted. Creators also receive 45% of the revenue from YouTube Premium views.
