YouTube has announced<\/a> that creators can start making ad revenue on Shorts starting February 1st, following a promise from September that the monetization option was on its way. The change is coming as part of a broader update to YouTube\u2019s Partner Program<\/a>, which will require everyone who\u2019s currently part of it to sign new agreement terms, whether or not they\u2019re looking to make money from Shorts.<\/p>\n

Creators have been able to make some money from the format that rolled out in 2021<\/a> for a while via things like Super Chats and shopping integrations, as well as a creator fund<\/a> that the company had set up, but that model wasn\u2019t all that much better that TikTok\u2019s monetization scheme. What TikTok doesn\u2019t do, though, is directly share ad revenue with creators \u2014 something that YouTube has been doing for years for traditional videos and that it\u2019s now bringing to Shorts.<\/p>\n

Creators won\u2019t necessarily have to opt in to shorts monetization if they don\u2019t want to. YouTube says it\u2019s introducing a modular system for the partner program\u2019s terms \u2014 everyone in the program will have to sign a base agreement that dictates things like what you can post on the site and how payment works. That goes for creators who are already YouTube Partners; the company says they\u2019ll have until July 10th, 2023, to accept the new terms, or else their ability to monetize with the platform will be turned off, and they\u2019ll have to reapply to the program.<\/p>\n

Then there are additional agreements for \u201cWatch Page\u201d and Shorts monetization, which you can agree to separately. The Shorts agreement, which will be available on February 1st, is basically what it says on the tin, giving you a cut of the revenue from \u201cads viewed between videos in the Shorts Feed.\u201d The Watch Page agreement essentially covers the other stuff; livestreams and traditional \u201clong-form\u201d videos on YouTube, YouTube Music, or YouTube Kids. <\/p>\n

Basically, content you watch on a page that looks something like this:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an addendum for \u201ccommerce products\u201d like memberships<\/a>, Super Chats, Super Stickers, and Super Thanks, though the company says that you won\u2019t have to re-agree to those terms if you\u2019ve already turned the features on for your channel.<\/p>\n

YouTube says this modular approach will let it \u201cadd new monetization opportunities in the future without having to update or amend the entire monetization agreement.\u201d The company also says that you can opt out of certain monetization modules after you sign up for them, though I\u2019m struggling to come up with reasons why anyone would \u2014 it feels like doing so would just arbitrarily limit your monetization options.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as YouTube is revising the requirements to join the YouTube Partner Program. One of the requirements used to be that you had to get 4,000 public watch hours on your content within the past 12 months. Starting in October 2022, Shorts counted toward that number. As of January 2023, though, that\u2019s no longer the case, according to the YouTube Partner Program overview & eligibility support page. Instead, that part of the eligibility requirement has been tweaked; you now have to get the 4,000 hours on non-shorts content or<\/em> get 10 million views on your public Shorts within the past 90 days. (Either way, you also have to have at least 1,000 subscribers to be eligible.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
