I Got 50 Million Views on YouTube SHORTS (Results)

i have noticed a lot of hype about youtube shorts lately... while they can be profitable and viral when used correctly, shorts can also be a waste of time when created and used the wrong way. if you want to get monetized and make money on youtube then make sure to keep this in mind!
In total for 50 million views I made just over $4,000 - Not bad!

I was about the ask this but thanks you already shared the earnings. In another channel, someone showed like 22m views and earned $250 so if you earned $4k from shorts that's a good side hustle but of course can't be the main hustle.

Hey, this is my youtube shorts channel, my average retention in 20-30s videos is around 100%, in 40-60s it is beetwen 85-95%, yet my shorts are still not going viral : ( What would you change?

[@TheThriVeFactory]

Love your content. It's helped guide me on my own channel, especially when it comes to KZbin shorts. I've been thinking of focusing back towards long form vids instead of mainly shorts. Been trying different things to get a good rhythm going.

[@football_monzer]

You're channel is glod, I watched all your videos. Thanks very much and keep going bro. To the moon 🎉 💫

[@makemoneywithjoannaleyan]

Just dropping by to say that your video is awesome! It's super informative and I learned a lot from it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiring us all. You're doing great work and I can't wait to see more from you. Keep it up and stay awesome!

Gosh this is amazing. One can commit themselves and make it with your advice.

[@mdubbgaming]

I watch a crazy amount of KZbin videos in order to gain more knowledge each day. I have to say that your videos are amazing! They definitely stand out amongst the 100s I watch. Keep doing your thang! This channel is going to blow up. I know it. :)

very useful info bro ty!

[@ViralShortsTT24]

I just started my first channel and I’m trying to grow it using shorts only. I still have a lot to learn and I understand it will be a long journey. So thank you for the great tips!

[@AbdullahFarhanLife]

Does shorts money compare to long form content ?

[@PsyIQTalks]

You are doing great, I have just subscribed on your channel!😄Thank you, this was incredibly helpful! I am trying to build a youtube channel with tarot and oracle readings, and its really hard since english is not my first language, and there are tons of creators with the same topic. And I am comletely new to all of this editing, uploading, thumbnail , intro creating etc. For you guys that are watching with me, I hope your channel grows fast ! We are in this together. NEVER GIVE UP!

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

thx boss!

[@PodCuts-1]

Hey man, really appreciate your content. One thing I noticed on my best performing videos (I'm still small) was that not only the avd was high, but also the viewed/swiped away ratio was also quite high. So I'm wondering if the key is to have a good combination of those two stats.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

good insight! defintely another metric to pay attention to

[@KindaKoolYT]

Just starting out with my channel, I'm glad I have this gold mine to learn from

[@FitnessShift]

I’m definitely liking for a honest take on my channel to grow! Love the information on how to figure out this process to success

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

i really like the niche bc its promoting somehting positive. i like how you summarize the content too, but i would try to make the editing better or the hooks more intense

[@FitnessShift]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT ok I’ll definitely try to do that I appreciate that 🤙🏾

[@everydaypheonix623]

Really enjoying your videos! I have started my YT channel already. I have gotten over 500+subs after 3-4 months of posting which was pretty slow. After watching your videos, I understand the algorithim a lot better

[@sophiereidfit]

Thanks for the video! My channel is mainly fitness based shorts and I started around 2 months ago - we’re currently at 768 subscribers and shooting for 1000 before 2024! 💪

[@JourneyOfAtlantis]

Bro love the way you explain things. You seem so genuine and transparent! Watched heaps over past few months. Cheers mate

[@TheTonyMan]

I really like how you edit and style your videos. Do you have any video editing courses or channels to recommend?

[@GoonsHD]

Great video! It would be nice to see u drop a tutorial on how to edit videos like you

[@wholesometoday]

Really enjoying your videos! Learned a lot from you. The only thing that keeps bugging me is, that even though my avd is always above 100% for my 30sec videos, they still only get pushed to around 10k views. I have postet around 70 video already and none made it above the 20k views mark, despite their huge avd.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

thats pretty interesting. how many comments do they typically get?

[@wholesometoday]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT thank you for your fast response. If the video is about a controversial topic it usually winds up at 20 comments for every 10k views. My swipe-away rate is at 65% which i think should be pretty good too.

[@SkeliOfficial]

@@wholesometoday which tool you used to create captions

[@wholesometoday]

@@SkeliOfficial i only use capcut

[@anomi21]

Bro I have the same issue It's so frustrating that they tell you to try your best to have high AVD and once you have that it still isnt going viral Have you found out the reason ??

[@XTRAMMA]

Hey brother! You`re the one who inspired me the most to create my own channel and go full throttle on YT Shorts. Writing you from my first channel that just hit 20k views after 2 days of existing =)

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Love hearing stuff like this! Great job

[@sselloutyt9035]

I know affiliate marketing is another potential way to monetize shorts content, but a recent KZbin update removed the ability to add links to shorts descriptions. Would you consider making a video on your experience with this/ how you could work around it? Cheers!

[@datboycali]

On all your your shortsvideos add the website url to the actual video edit

[@amissanime3007]

​@@datboycaliHow about qr code then?

[@illuminatied]

@@amissanime3007 really love that idea..

Hi I signed up for the list bro 👍

[@richtoshitime]

Nice video!🦁

[@insightslab]

the featured channel can be found here guys :)

[@Byte-sizedBroadcasting]

our channel is the perfect example for the first point you made, you can check our short form content and compare it to our long form and see for yourself

[@Adam.wholesome]

Hi man love your channel. I have one question, I'm posting shorts but my scroll to watch rate is very small - something around 50%, what would you suggest to change that?

[@carvedouttastone]

Wondering if you can give me some advice. My channel laegelt flat lined after I got 5000 subs from a short.that went viral. Should I continue posting shorts related to my long form or go for a second shorts channel? Love your content. Subbed.

[@lunachiangg]

hi! could you tell me how to do the effect or technique you use in your avatar to make it look like he is talking? i would like to learn how to do it too! greetings and success!

[@C_Moors]

hey! quick question about the avd and pushing out your content. i have recently started posting shorts and have a video that only has less than 100 views but has a 75% view rate and a avd of 40 seconds. could youtube push it in the future or is it as good as dead?

[@Snipper_run]

Where did you get the clips of the podcast mate and what editing do you use is capcut okay?

[@DickieRascal]

Awesome video i would love an audit - am i wasting my time or shall i keep going ? thanks

[@justdmdmduos]

I just made my first channel less than a week ago, Its this one I'm commenting from, I had 0 editing experience, and my first short got 2.8k views, which for me is a big achievement I would like that review! (I will incorporate tips from this video to add background music and to speed up the video)

[@StoicismofThe...]

Tnx bro, I'm complete beginner and your video is very helpful!

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Welcome G

[@GhostSal]

Appreciate the information, thank you! Just curious, where do you get the clips you use for your videos? Not the shorts, the videos like this. The reason I ask is most tools I’ve come across show generic videos and not clips of more familiar people.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

We edit them! What do you mean tho?

[@GhostSal]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT I mean, what do you use to get clips from movies, TV, etc…? What app? Site? Tool?

[@xemu3267]

Hey man, In one of your video's I heard you say to choose a niche and try to stick to it in order to having a better chance of standing out. But do you think with a youtube shorts channel it would be wise to focus on viral video topics only? Which means the content could fall in any niche as long as it went viral. E.g one day you could upload a podcast highlight and the other day some travel destinations Because each shorts gets payed the same per view the only thing that count's money wise is the flat amount of views (not talking about avd to satisfy the algorithm). Or would I still be better to stick to one thing?

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Niche can mean topic and or style of content! But yeah I would stick to one while you grow

[@Vyper.Gaming]

I was just wondering one thing. How do you edit the videos and make them so engaging?

[@TrendTorchYT]

Hey man! Thanks for the vid. I started this channel a week ago and I think the main workpoint for me is prioritizing quality over quantity. Any other tips are appreciated though!

[@gtamulynas]

Thank you

[@nightdrifter_]

Are you using Adobe after effects or Adobe premiere?

[@seekerodyssey1]

Teach us editing in later videos, bro!! At least some basics!! You are very good!

[@LuxeGetaway]

I like the honest information you give. I tell you, I have a channel specifically about shorts like you, with the intention of making long videos. I would like you to look at it and give me your opinion and what I can improve or change. (I started on November 16th so there are many things to improve haha). Thank you! 😁

[@3nutsinashell]

Are you still reviewing channels? My shorts channel is super small, but I would love a quick review:) I started it with my kids, but now I would love to learn more, thanks!

[@romacannon7235]

I put like even before i watch Because i know it will be good info

[@dhdjhdgj]

Make a video on how you edit your videos please

[@derickwastaken]

what about channels like RoyalPear, Johnny Razr or Jenny hoyos who started with shorts, cultivated an audience and their long form videos seem to translate over, seems like if content style is similar or related, it can translate. Would love to know what you think

[@ChurchHistoryStories]

I might be a bit of an oddity - I have a shorts channel that has shifted to doing long-form content and does fairly well in both. I didn't expect the same conversion of views, and I think that's key.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

is this the channel? interesting

[@ChurchHistoryStories]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECTIt is. Not every video hits, and it is very niche, but I’m pleased with the results.

[@ChurchHistoryStories]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECTI did notice also in the analytics under Audience that my subscribers are as likely to watch shorts as they are longform. That might be the nature of my niche, though.

[@gameradoz]

Curious how long did it take to monetize your channel?

[@spuzy_]

Hey i just started experimenting with youtube shorts, would love to get your take and all mistakes im making

[@Motiveronly]

Awesome 👍

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Do you see similar results? You have a good sized following too

Would love an audit and review of my youtube channel 👍🏾 I hope to post longer form content in the future and I’m currently building with my community tab as well to try and increase engagement

I have seen other videos where they say that youtube shorts don't give money and if gives that so very less ,, and you say that you make around 20 dollars every day ( approx) , so i am little confused,, kindly guide thats should i really invest my time and effort in this ,, will the return be worth it??

[@Mandadog]

Thanks for this video, I hope to reach same level with my channel 😅

[@CharlesShorts20]

I just started my shorts channel but struggling to get any views any tips?

[@martyneary7026]

Besides transforming the original podcast content with video editing, what other strategies work well to ensure that your shorts qualify for fair use? And why do so many fail with this - even those that have been posting for years... ?

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

making fully original content is the safest bet

[@VikingMarketer]

I've thought about driving shorts people to the main one. I guess the short kinda needs to lead into the long form🤔. I mean, it's also been easier to link directly.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

yeah thats an interesting one, and did you see the new feature that allows you to link shorts to a long form vid? i havent tried it but would love to hear if it works well or not

[@VikingMarketer]

@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT I've seen it, yeah. Hmm, I might try and start a channel and do a mix of shorts and long form(granted I have the link option) just to test

[@sam333rr]

In which niche should I create a channel in which there are chances of getting more views?

[@AnimatedGymTales]

so com is same for every niche for youtube shorts?

[@tesatarot7105]

just tell us how much did you made?

[@SWOTReport]

There is still a problem with copying someone else's content - in this case you just post someone else's creations and it doesn't seem quite morally right to monetize this, even if you've put a lot of effort into editing these videos. Sooner or later you'll get copyright notices or strikes. I tried doing the same thing (with someone else's content, not Huberman's) and I got copyright notices and strikes immediately. The notices aren't that dangerous but all the money you make from them goes to that other creator so it's useless. Have you tried asking for permission to repost that content? I'd do that if the creators let me do that for free.

[@RoamRhapsody-pe3hr]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Please if your content is labeled as "Restriction - none, short policy" will that affect monetization? Thank you.

Top 10 niche for KZbin shorts?

[@fniriss]

TBH know that I'm in a hard niche to gain views and subscribers but i have grown my channel a llot but hit a burn out but im starting again and now going to take it slower and not push myself as much

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

burnout is very real i get you

[@marnolips]

what is your KZbin shorts channel?

[@benjaminstarzl]

Nice video! My question for you is How do I get my shorts to get over 10k views? I post my content consistently (one post a day or so). Whenever I post, the short will get that initial spike going to about 1.8k and then a few days later it will go up to anywhere between 5k-10k views. Why does it stop? My avd is almost always over 100% so I would assume KZbin would see that and push my content?

[@anomi21]

Bro I'm in same situation Please let me know the reason if you find out❤

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Interesting, how many subs do you have now?

[@benjaminstarzl]
