YouTube Shorts Creators Will Get Paid Starting February 1 Under New Terms
1/10/2023
YouTube Shorts creators will finally get paid by the streaming platform. While previously not monetized, the streaming platform will now pay creators under its new YouTube Partner Program terms starting February 1.
Previously, some creators would use Shorts to bring users to their more long-form content as YouTube did not monetize them. Now with updates to its YouTube Partner Program (YPP) terms, creators who accept them can get their Shorts monetized.
Per Google's announcement, the new terms should be accepted by July 10, 2023, to continue to monetize on the social platform. This comes at a time when Biden recently signed a bill that mandated the removal of TikTok from government employee phones under the reformed "Electoral Count Act."
This comes after reports of how TikTok collects user data and the questionability of how it is being used. A recent report surfaced of how the app reportedly spied on Forbes journalists.
Per the announcement, Google is introducing Modules to YouTube under its new YPP terms to give added flexibility to how creators can earn under the streaming platform. Creators need to accept the Shorts Monetization Module to monetize their Shorts videos and earn revenue.
Google also released a specific segment to explain how ad revenue is generated on the platform through its YouTube Shorts monetization policies. There is also a segment regarding how the use of third-party content will result in views allocated being divided between the uploader and any third-party rightsholders.
"YouTube will pay 45% of the net revenue from YouTube Premium that is allocated to monetizing creators for Shorts."
This means that the income that creators will receive will come directly from YouTube Premium, which is something that TikTok does not do. Creators already generating income from YouTube via other sources like Super Chats, shopping integrations, and even the company's creator fund.
