YouTube Shorts monetization is finally coming in 2023. A New York Times leak has hinted that YouTube Shorts will finally be added to the YouTube Partner Programme and creators will get a 45/10/45 split on all revenue with 10% going to musicians and 45% going to the platform.
“It is the largest expansion we’ve done in several years creating new ways for creators to join the program,” Amjad Hanif, vice president of product management and creator products, said in a staff meeting, as reported by the New York Times.
Shorts will become part of the YouTube Partner Program meaning creators who hit certain metrics will be able to get a share of the advertisement money generated from their videos.
YouTube will compete with TikTok and hope to offer better monetization options than the Chinese app in a bid to attract the best content creators.

there was also an audio leak this audio
leak is important today is a very
important day for creators on YouTube so
important that I thought I'd actually
hop on and make a video not from my
office but from my bedroom because
today's a bank holiday today is the
funeral of the queen Queen Elizabeth II
and therefore people are not in the
office today but the important news
outside that is that YouTube has finally
announced the monetization of YouTube
shorts when I say finally there has been
a monetization program for YouTube
shorts for a while now which is part of
the Creator fund it was
110 million dollars in which they'd dish
out money to people depending on how
many YouTube shorts views you happen to
have so if you had a million views you
probably made around about a thousand
dollars
but that's wildly disproportionate
compared to say a YouTube partnership
program agreement now some of you may
have noticed that they've started
pushing YouTube shorts more and more in
fact they're doing really really well so
much so they've started updating their
app offerings see this is what I saw on
my TV this morning it is now fully
integrated YouTube shorts in which when
you click a short it doesn't just play
the video in vertical format it plays it
like a proper YouTube short video that
is loopable it doesn't just get to the
end and stop I'm sure this is being
pushed out to many others but there's
also an audio leak this audio leak is
important the audio leak that hints at
creators finally receiving income based
on adverts served against YouTube shorts
that are now suggesting that from 2023
YouTube shots will be monetized and the
revenue split between creators musicians
and the YouTube platform shorts will
become part of the YouTube partnership
program meaning creators who hit certain
metrics will be able to get a share of
the advertisements money generated by
their videos YouTube will compete with
Tick Tock and hope to offer a better
monetization system compared to the
Chinese app they bid to create and
attract creators from the platform this
will be a huge expansion to the YouTube
partnership program already you have to
have 4 000 hours of watch time and 1 000
active subscribers within the last 12
months so once you've hit that you're
just generating money off of a landscape
videos but the rumor that has been
leaked from The New York Times is that
not only are they going to be placing
advertisements against the YouTube
shorts in themselves but they're also
hinting at lowering the monetization
threshold So currently 1 000 subscribers
4 000 hours of watch time this may be
lowered to get as many people in as
possible also this split 45 to creators
10 to musicians and 45 to the platform
this is a change to the current
Arrangement which is around about 60 40
depending on what deal you happen to be
on with YouTube this
is a 10 slice to the Musicians this is a
good idea because musicians don't get
that at all with Tick Tock and this is
also a 10 investment in YouTube to
acquire more music for you to use this
could be very interesting and this could
push YouTubers to the next level now if
you're a tick tock Creator or an
Instagram user is this the thing that
drags you over from Tick Tock and
Instagram and finally makes you start
making YouTube your home seeing as you
can be paid directly I mean the
equivalent here happens to be that if I
get 1 000 views on a YouTube video here
in a normal YouTube video I could make
anywhere between two and five dollars in
some cases maybe more but on average two
to five dollars is around about average
across the entire site unless you're
doing uh Finance content now at the
moment as I said previously tick tock
and YouTube are doing around about a
thousand dollars for a million views
that's wildly different so if they're
gonna Place proper adverts against
YouTube shorts like they do YouTube
videos this might be
the Earth changing industry shattering
moment in which YouTube
wins the war again let me know how you
feel about this are you excited for
YouTube monetizing YouTube shorts please

monetized do you create YouTube shorts

watch this video so go and check that
