YouTube's new Shorts Monetization process will come into effect on February 1st, 2021. The process will allow creators who produce short-form content to monetize their videos with ads. YouTube is partnering with AdSense, which will provide creators with the opportunity to make money from their videos.
The platform, which was launched in September 2020 and is meant to be a rival to TikTok, has been a hit with users, but YouTube wanted to ensure that creators could monetize their content. To do so, YouTube has implemented a new Shorts Monetization process. To be eligible for monetization, creators need to have over 1,000 subscribers and have seen 10 million Shorts views over the preceding 90 days. Once creators reach those standards, YouTube will enable them to sign up for the program. This new Partner Program terms will provide more clarity on how much creators will be able to earn from Shorts. YouTube will be taking a 45% cut from revenue generated from Shorts.
The Shorts Monetization process is just one of the ways YouTube is trying to encourage creators to use its platform. By giving them the ability to make money from their content, YouTube is hoping to make Shorts more attractive to content creators. YouTube is also working to make the Shorts platform more accessible to creators. It recently announced that it was expanding the availability of Shorts to more countries, allowing more people to use the platform.
The Shorts Monetization process is just one of the ways YouTube is working to make Shorts more profitable for content creators. It's an exciting development for content creators, and it could help them make a living from their content.
