Frequently asked questions
How much do YouTube Shorts pay per 1,000 views?
Far less than long-form — roughly $0.01–$0.07 per 1,000 views, because ad revenue is pooled and shared across all Shorts. Most creators use Shorts to grow, then monetize via long-form, sponsorships and affiliates.
Why are Shorts earnings so low?
Shorts ad revenue goes into a shared pool that's split by views across all creators, so per-view payouts are much smaller than long-form ads.
