Part 3/7:
Income Potential from Shorts
The earning potential of Shorts can seem modest, with revenue ranging dramatically from a low of $0.05 to as much as $0.30 per thousand views. This translates to earnings of $50 to $300 per million views. While these numbers may appear discouraging, high traffic channels can gross mid five-figure incomes consistently.
A notable opportunity lies in YouTube's recent rollout of the YouTube Music Program, which allows creators to boost their earnings by incorporating music into their videos. Channels taking advantage of this program can see RPM (Revenue Per Mille) more than double, offering enhanced financial incentives for creators.
