YouTube announced that revenue sharing for YouTube Shorts will begin on February 1st. The new YouTube Partner Program offers are launching this week, as announced in a video on our YouTube Creators channel. It is mandatory for all creators monetizing the affiliate program to agree to the new agreement, which he must sign by July 10th for monetization to proceed. YouTube has added a “module” to its new deal. YouTube claims this will allow the creator more variation in monetizing her YouTube.
All creators are required to sign a “baseline” which includes the Content Guidelines and three other sections. The first is the “view page monetization module” that can be applied to long-form or live stream content on any YouTube service. By subscribing to this module, a creator can monetize videos played on the YouTube website (or app) and content embedded on her website by third parties.
The main innovation is the ‘YouTube Short Monetization Module’ which enables the monetization of YouTube short content. Earnings here come from ads or YouTube Premium and will be available for “eligible short videos” starting February 1, 2023. After this date, YouTubers will start making money from their short films as soon as they sign a contract.
Explained that non-original content is not eligible for revenue sharing. This includes unedited clips of movies and TV shows, content from other creators on YouTube and other platforms, and compilations of non-original content. Click/scroll bots also make watching short films illegal. YouTube also details how revenue from short videos is distributed
