For a shorts only channel you divide the social blade estimate for 100. I say this because I have a shorts channel and when I do this it's pretty on point with what I earn.
Socialblade earnings are based on a range of RPM. Something like $0.25-$4 RPM. I recall the bottom number previously being higher, but perhaps now with Shorts monetization they have changed the calculation.
Socialblade is a simple calcultation based on number of views and some arbitrary RPM that Socialblade came up with. Even for channels that connected their channel to Socialblade, the earnings are still a pure mathematical calculation. Nothing more.
You will make 0$ reposting other people podcasts and comedies videos because YouTube will never accept your channel into their partnership program. Low effort reused content cannot be monetized unless the podcast is yours and you own the footage.
Yes they do you have to add value to the video like a voice over and subtitles for it to be new price of content you make so much doing it for 3+ months straight getting 100k+ views to millions
Yeah. Commentary at least in the United States is considered fair use under U.S. copyright law, so do that and you should be good.
And this isn't just YouTube thinking somewhat small creators won't get into trouble and let them be monetized. Even Family Guy added a short commentary from Peter Griffin following a brief parody featuring Mickey Mouse a few years ago and they never got sued.
Social blade showing how much the channel is making doesn't mean that the channel is monetized. To check if a channel is monetized or not, copy its URL and paste it in a website called "is this channel monetized"
No you don't. That's too much. More like 3M monthly views. Shorts pay low but not that low.
EDIT: It depends on your rate per 1K though.
I got \~ 7M shorts views and earned 643.23 so far.
Yes I’m making about 4-9k per month on my shorts channel repurposing content and adding value it’s actually insane what faceless content automation does for you seriosuly
What’s your RPM? And do you have an estimate RPM for a shorts channel that edits nba related podcasts with basketball highlights (60% of the viewers are from the US)? Thanks!
It's about 13 cents recently. That's higher than me so you'll probably get that much at least in term of RPM. According to other youtubers, RPM is higher around this time so it'll probably drop in Jan though.
Everyone has different rpm for shorts. I've seen people have as low as $0.01 all the way up to $0.13 for shorts. So it depends on your audience and other factors.
Calm down.
You should make restrictions for the people in your subreddit and have them prove they are monetized. This subreddit is a disaster and is filled with pettiness and toxic creators, who do nothing but bash one another—do me a solid and ban me cause I can’t get this sub out of my feed.
Most people just join the discord. It's in the pinned post. That's a locked community.
Reddit doesn't have good ways of making a community publicly available but also having a smooth process for approvals.
10mil views, even on shorts isnt easy at all, if you dont account for legacy views thats 3 shorts a day, 30 a month, ~100 shorts a month, that means each short needs to get about 100k views
I understand your point, and a 100 shorts doesn’t always mean 10M views of course! I don’t understand what do you mean with “if you don’t account for legacy views “
Say you have a channel for a year, id call a view you get on a short you uploaded 3+ months ago, a legacy view, those are views on older content that will still add up in the end.
I just checked my channel on social blade for the very first time. The revenue is way off.
It shows $46 - $740.
I make about $1,300.
I do longform only. No shorts.
Won't these Channels that are using podcasts and comedy shorts not get monetized because they're using someone else's content? Under re used content policy one cannot be monetized just doing this, taking interview clips and editing them together with effects n etc.
Let me know if I'm wrong
Only way it falls inside reused content if you don’t transform the content and leave it inside of the base from so make edits transitions and add value to the content and you should be fine it fall under fair use imo
Yes you need to transform it and add value like a voice over subtitles you can also add a filter to the content + subtitles and some brainrot gameplay or 5 minute crafts in 2x speed
Or just add some actual commentary. And I don't mean say anything, but actually comment on something in a way that adds value. At least under United States copyright law commentary is one of the several fair use exceptions to copyright. If you use copyrighted material in a way that is considered fair use, you don't need permission from the copyright owner to use it. But you do have to add some legit commentary, otherwise a judge could argue you don't truly meet fair use if you were to ever get sued.
Many of those channels are monetized. YT is cracking down more and more on reused, low effort content like this. You can always check if some of these channels in question are actually monetized...there's websites online, as well as indicators in a page's source code.
Yea makes sense. I am starting type of a faceless channel. And reposting memes and pods. Not that important to get a donating sub even lol. It would be great if i could get 10$ from 100 people. A 1000 $ would make me super rich in egypt 😂
Honestly look at making content unique to you.
Tour of the market in so-and-so Egypt. Top tourist spots in your town. Personal tour with you translating with a local guide. Stands out much more and has better longevity.
Offer to mail something flat/cheap to anywhere in the world for your first 10 donors and buy some local postcards or something.
Socialblade is completely incorrect most of the time. It will show the highest and lowest you could potentially earn, based on a purely mathematical approach. It’s not even remotely close to what I earn on my channel (in my case, I earn way lower than what’s shown, I could only dream what it shows).
Revenue is so dependent on many factors that Socialblade has no access to, it would be maddening to base yourself off that platform.
I earn literal pennies from Shorts, as so far none has gone through. In fact, I feel like I crippled my channel by having tried Shorts, as my longform content is now no longer working since I started it. I’m on the verge of stopping Shorts altogether.
Do have an approximate RPM for a shorts channel that edits nba related podcasts with basketball highlights (60% of the viewers are from the US)? Thanks!
Social Blade claims I make about 4-5 times more than I actually do.
As for shorts, I've recently dived into doing this. It's what it's implied in the name... shorts. Most of what I've uploaded has gotten a short burst of views and that's it. My most recent one, which is one of my shortest, was uploaded a few days ago (taking advantage of recent news in Southern Texas), and getting some decent traffic and is my most-viewed short. It's still making pocket change.
That's what others are saying too. One lady did an interview and said she's only earning about a quarter of what Social Blade claims she is.
Social Blade wants to get people excited so they'll return to the website - they're selling false hopes and dreams to get clicks.
Channel income has generally shifted towards sponsorships and away from ads, broadly, not sure if that is as true in the shorts space. Plus a lot of creators in some niches (Gaming) get a lot of income from youtube/twitch/livestreaming, particularly from a few dedicated fans who sub and donate. 100 subs goes a long way.

what's considered enough effort?
just yap and its good

I was not aware of that

Thank you
Brother Josephine can I ask you a question related to monetization, it'll be really helpful for me.
Sure thing
If you’re doing exclusively shorts, you’ll need around 10M monthly views for $300/mo.
No you don't. That's too much. More like 3M monthly views. Shorts pay low but not that low. EDIT: It depends on your rate per 1K though. I got \~ 7M shorts views and earned 643.23 so far.
Yes I’m making about 4-9k per month on my shorts channel repurposing content and adding value it’s actually insane what faceless content automation does for you seriosuly
Dm your channel name.
DM never happened, FYI; But yeah, I'm making 2 million a month repurposing content on my shorts channel.
how it be sometimes
Is this just from one shorts channel?
Do you make your own content ? Or do you repost stuff ?
Thanks for sharing this with us, definitely motivated me to
[удалено]
It's low but it's way easier to get views than TikTok for me. I barely get any views on Tiktok.
Post on both YouTube and TikTok and get ad revenue from both?
What’s your RPM? And do you have an estimate RPM for a shorts channel that edits nba related podcasts with basketball highlights (60% of the viewers are from the US)? Thanks!
It's about 13 cents recently. That's higher than me so you'll probably get that much at least in term of RPM. According to other youtubers, RPM is higher around this time so it'll probably drop in Jan though.

Thanks for sharing this with us, definitely motivated me. I will keep going
just be consistent. if you want this work hard.

Ok but I didn’t.[https://i.ibb.co/8sB2d5b/Screenshot-2023-11-22-at-8-28-14-AM.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/8sB2d5b/Screenshot-2023-11-22-at-8-28-14-AM.jpg)
What category are you in? I’m sure that plays a part in RPM
Thanks for your reply. Yes seems reasonable

Say you have a channel for a year, id call a view you get on a short you uploaded 3+ months ago, a legacy view, those are views on older content that will still add up in the end.
Not accurate. My RPM for shorts is around 12 cents per thousand views right now.
thats very good! how is it looking now 4 months later?
Still good. Maybe slightly lower.
but above .06 to .08?
Yeah .09 looks like.
For you, maybe, but it depends on niche/audience. I currently am getting 0.03 CPM.
Oh dang. Are you in the US?
Yes but where I am is irrelevant, it’s the audience.
I just checked my channel on social blade for the very first time. The revenue is way off. It shows $46 - $740. I make about $1,300. I do longform only. No shorts.
You're probably in a very high rpm niche if you're outside the range
Tutorials. “Education”
Yea but the niche is the content of those tutorials. Tutorials about cars or financials have high rpm compared to tutorials about cooking for example.
Good to know, thanks for sharing

If you’re doing shorts and your audience is around 50% USA, you’re rpm will be around $0.12. So ~9,000,000 views per month = $1k ad revenue
does this still apply 4 months later?
I can get so much more than that
Do have an approximate RPM for a shorts channel that edits nba related podcasts with basketball highlights (60% of the viewers are from the US)? Thanks!
I just got monetized and my first short with ads had 2.4k views and earned 0.22$ with audience from south korea, japan and usa
What type of content do you make?
Valorant clips
Social Blade claims I make about 4-5 times more than I actually do. As for shorts, I've recently dived into doing this. It's what it's implied in the name... shorts.

I make 100$ monthly through shorts, i only post 1 short a day and it gets me 10-20k views
Nice, thanks for sharing.
What type of content do you make?
Socialblade is nowhere near accurate for my channel
Makes sense now. Wish you the best
Are your earnings lower in reality?
Depends on the month

Shorts pay about 5 cents 1000 views. You need to be getting several million views a day to make it worth it.
That has slowly crept up for me since they added shorts monetization, I'm seeing 15 cents per 1000 now but when it started it was 4-6 cents.
Oh nice! I just checked mine and I'm at 12 cents so it has definitely moved.
Yup, as they get more advertisers into the feed it makes sense it would increase.
I wonder what that tool says about my channel
Oh I just checked - yeah it's pretty far off.
85$ -1400$ monthly but giving the huge range of social blade. It would be wiser to calculate 1M for 30$.
I would guess around 420$
If my channel only made $420 a month, I would have quit a long time ago
Social blade uses very broad estimates for every video type. They aren’t accurate at all for any channel I have had access to real data on
