How YouTube Shorts Monetization Works? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YouTube launched its Shorts Monetization through the YouTube Shorts Fund in 2021. It was initially a 100 million dollar fund to encourage the adoption of the new video format on the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was mainly to reward the Creators who made the most engaging YouTube shorts on the platforms. While the YouTube Shorts fund acted as a stopgap measure, the platform meanwhile worked on a long-term plan to monetize YouTube Shorts. This fund was later discontinued when YouTube Shorts ad revenue was launched in February 2023. Checkout the Changes in YouTube partner program terms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
