How much does YouTube pay for 1,000 views in shorts?
YouTube Shorts earnings depend on multiple factors, including your location, audience demographics, and engagement rates. However, Shorts typically do not earn as much as long-form content through ads. Here’s an overview of how payment works for YouTube Shorts:
Ad Revenue
1. Shorts Fund: Previously, YouTube paid creators through a Shorts Fund (no fixed rate per 1,000 views). Payments ranged from $100 to $10,000 monthly, depending on total views.
2. Monetization Since 2023:
In February 2023, YouTube introduced ad revenue sharing for Shorts. Revenue is pooled from ads shown between Shorts on the Shorts Feed. Creators receive 45% of their share after YouTube deducts the music licensing fee if applicable.
The average earnings per 1,000 views (CPM) for Shorts are lower than for long-form videos. Estimates suggest earnings range between $0.01 to $0.05 per 1,000 views. This is because ads are less targeted compared to long-form content.

Key Factors Influencing Earnings
Geographic Location: Creators from countries like the U.S., U.K., and Canada tend to earn more due to higher CPMs.
Audience Engagement: Higher engagement may result in more revenue from the ad pool.
Ad Type: Shorts don't display ads directly on the video, which reduces individual video earnings.
For consistent earnings, growing your audience and focusing on both Shorts and long-form videos can maximize revenue.
