@Dystopian Space Saga it’s absolutely not $4 per 1,000 views. as a 10 year old i made a vid that has 300,000+ views and only made about $20 off the whole thing lol
I believe it is around 4 USD per 1000 views, ONLY ON LONG FORM CONTENT tho, shorts make wayyyyyyyy less bc they get more views as the world transitions to a more short-form content/entertainment center.

Problem is shorts don’t have ads embedded into them, so they basically make no money at all. If these were 10-15 minute videos with this amount of views, they’d be making millions per year.

WOW what a difference, I had no idea that creators were paid so little for shorts/videos. Thank you both so much for the content you've been able to make, and expanding our minds by exposing the norms of another culture. Seoul seems like a really great place to live!
Came here to say this. Long format is the way to go for ad revenue, you guys need to try and convert even 10% of your shorts content and you'll be making a decent wage with weekly or biweekly videos, given that content is also good.
For everyone who doesn’t know, RUclips shorts are monetized way lower than regular RUclips videos. Socialblade gives estimates for long for videos and if they did make long form videos they would get that money socialblade estimated. For 158M views on long form videos they would make a LOT of money. Keep up the good work I love your content guys!
yeah it’s worth noting this discrepancy really only applies to channels that _only_ make shorts. or at least where shorts make up a majority of a channel’s views. A single sponsor a month and theyd be making $100,000 a year
And most ppl don’t get that. Only the smallest % can really have a luxury life as an influencer. Most have a regular job or are just doing it out of fun. Even not really professional made videos are time consuming to make. The clips itself, the cutting, editing etc takes a lot of time (post production)
@@xSoulhunterDKx Yea but that's because they're short content heavy. If they put together longer videos that people watch, it's easier to get more revenue. Plus most influencers have brands that reach out to them for sponsorships.
I was, but I thought they’d still make more as I thought likes and number of subscribers might give you a 100 dollar atleast. But daym just 50 dollar a yea . I mean should have expected that because there’s no ad and for sponsorships idk if they have to split income from them with youtube as well. I remember a channel sharing their ad revenue on their videos wasn’t much for em to do it full time. It was only 100-150 dollars monthly and on very rare occasions 200 or 200+ .
@@gummy5862 still it’s not that easy to get a stable income from that or to survive in that. If they really have to make money then they will need to sell merch or have some small business I believe .Because at the end you might not get paid well at all😢but u got viewers and consumers to whom u can sell and make some living out of that😢😢.
From what I understood, shorts were to get channels easy exposure, and long format videos were to make ad revenue and sponsorship deals. I'm no RUclipsr though, that's just what I thought.
Wow. Thank you for your honesty on this and the videos you create. I hope you don't feel pressure to continue but if it fulfills you, you find the time to do it.
@@thetalk3155 Taxes don't do crap for their situation. Taxes are based on their Revenue and after any expenses for the costs of making their videos. $58 per month is not even a 10% tax if they did it full time. It's RUclips not paying them a lot and they're not paying them a lot because most people didn't see an ad before the short started.
No that's not entirely true, the issue is the format type, you see youtube shorts don't make ad revenue, regular youtube videos do. That's were the big money comes from. RUclipsrs that make shorts don't do it for youtube money but for 2 things exposure and sponsorships. A shout out or review of a product can fetch anywhere from $300 to upward of $2000 depending on the channels reach and if you're really popular we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars. SO that's how peeps that do youtube shorts and Tik Toks make their money.
@@thetalk3155 RUclips files 1099s for you and doesn't take out taxes. They file your earnings under a Tax ID or your personal social. Most ad companies won't payout unless it's tied to a company or a FEIN number that is your own company or a marketing company that makes X amount per year.
As a Korean American I really appreciate your shorts! Im an immigrant so I fear losing my culture. Your videos give me insight to things I’ve experienced my whole life, to completely new aspects I didn’t even know. I know you must be busy with family, work, etc but I hope to continue seeing your videos! :)
I am quite sorry your creative, very entertaining and informative content doesn’t reward you the way I feel it should- if you’ve be interested in making more longer videos / patreon etc I’m sure some of your followers would support you (although it’s understandable that the workload of that may not be desirable)❤
That's crazy! You guys should be making way more than that! Your shorts are amazing and very informative.... I'm binge watch them now.... Thanks for your amazing content!
If they are spending 5 hrs making a short. That means they make less than minimum wage to create a short. It's not economical. I think being an online personality is just another low grade job. All these creative jobs are taken advantage of by large platforms. I think it's time to just quit the internet.
When I’m watching shorts I stick with shorts because it’s so easy to continue scrolling down or finding more shorts on my home page.. that might be the goal but I hardly ever go to someone’s main channel unless there’s a cliffhanger or it was just an interesting enough preview for something bigger
I hope you guys are able to make more money from all the effort and work y’all have put in. Thank you for all the amazing content, I hope y’all can make longer videos as well so you can get more ad revenue from the videos and not just the shorts
Noooo! I love your shorts! Wish you could monetize and find a way to keep it going as a full time job! Thank you for sharing with us! I hope you find a way ❤️
Wow! It’s hard to believe it’s so little compensation. Your videos are incredibly well-done and informative. I wish/hope there was/is a way for you to translate this into a more long-term career!
Tbf YT shorts aren't necessarily a direct source of ad revenue as compared to videos. They're another means to push your channel to gain more traction (recommended and subscriptions being other examples).
@@Smiley957 maybe it's shared from pre-roll ads on the next full length video played? RUclips shorts seem to play into RUclips's desire to keep people on the platform for as long as possible, ie if someone closes RUclips after your video and doesn't click another it can be seen as a bad thing (from what I've seen of people describing the current algorithm). It's all guess work considering RUclips doesn't explain anything.
I will miss your videos if you decide to not create them anymore, but I also understand that the amount of energy put into them is too much to receive basically nothing 🖤 thank you for educating me on Korean culture
I love watching your content and I thought you guys would receive more, kinda disappointing that it’s that low. Don’t lose your hope though. RUclips short revenue will be massive in 2023. RUclips plans on giving shorts monetization a huge boost! With that amount of views you guys are making I would say at least 10k-25k a month. I highly recommend listening to mr beast recent podcast, he talks about shorts becoming the next big thing.
Drastically different. It's not a consistent rate, but the longer the video the more you can make. Many people do in video sponsorships as well as ads too for additional income. This is why video essays are so popular now. Lowest cost content you can make without having to get out in the world and capture so many great shots, like travel vloggers do. I believe if the video is over 10 minutes, and closer to 20, the amount goes up significantly enough to make it a viable endeavor. It can vary on the content and the amount of ads interjected as well.
Shorts are a good way, however, to introduce new viewers to the channel who can get to know what they're about before committing to watching a longer video. Think of it like a movie preview.
@@humansomewhat2167 Ohhh ok, that makes sense. Yea shorts are definitely good I agree, I definitely get stuck on them for hours sometimes good point. You make a lot of good points, thank you for the insight
@@nomoreflooples full length videos can make 3 dollars per thousand views up to like 9 dollars per thousand if you do videos about finance for example (desired audience for advertisers). Shorts pay almost nothing because RUclips barely puts ads between shorts. They are increasing it soon though.
Dang your content is interesting and informative. Promise to make sure I like and go back and like anything I missed. It’s such a terrible habit to absorb the content and keep scrolling.
For some reason, ever since I first came across one of your videos, whenever I'm scrolling through shorts I always stop to watch your videos. I find the way you format your videos really easy and engaging to watch, and your narration is not over top, more complicated than it needs to be and a voice that is comfortable to listen to. Thanks for your content!
It's more to do with the fact they don't give ADs for shorts because it's incredibly difficult to do. You simply can't do 30 second or unskippable ADs on 30 sec long videos and nobody wants to watch a 5 second skippable AD before watching a short clip - no ADs means no revenue for yourube or the creator but a much better experience for the viewer. I guess they could put ADs in but it'll turn into Snapchat shorts and nobody wants to deal with that, I suggest you have a look at Snapchat and last longer than 5 min if you think ADs in short videos are a good idea. Tiktok also has this problem, creators make nothing from TikTok as there's no good way to provide ADs like in long form content. It's unfortunate for creators but there's more to it than YT not wanting to pay, they're a business they need to generate revenue for it to make sense paying people.
I had nearly 100k subs (not shorts creator), and laughable ad revenue is the reason why I quit and it's just getting worse every year with many more ads being played. A perfect inverse ratio.
I appreciate your interesting videos! The customs of different cultures is so interesting and it’s distracting my depression right now. I wish you could make more off of it.
The thing is since these are yt shorts you're obviously going to be making less than if you were to make normal 10 - 15 minute videos I feel like people would enjoy longer videos since these are super interesting
That means more time to make those videos. And that also doesn’t mean the views will translate. They’d most likely get way less views than their shorts which means not as much revenue as one would expect.
Thank you making these videos congratulations on your family and wishing you success and happiness in all your family does. Please try to keep time to make more videos.
Yall absolutly need to keep making these videos! My wife and I love seeing what it's like in south korea. We have an upcoming trip to seoul to visit friends and your knowledge of just everyday life is what is helping us make decisions on what to expect for prices or for what to expect when we come down. So please keep going if at all possible
They've definitely made more off of shorts. Since they don't pay much in traditional ad revenue they get paid out of the shorts fund, which could pay up to 10,000 a month if you're getting a bunch of views
That is mind blowing... And as many ads, as youtube has recently forced me to watch.. like I"M SICK OF ADS.. I'm surprised its not more? I guess youtubes just keeping EVERYTHING from the ads?
I hope you both can eventually do this full time! Social blade is so strange and bad for small communities. Someone called me money hungry because of social blades stats. I've never made more than a dollar an hour doing YT. Yep I sure am hungry for that money.
i think big part of the fact that the revenue is that low is cause RUclips gives lower or higher revenue depending in what county you live in no matter what views you make which is something that is a bit sad but at least it's something that you guys enjoy doing with your time
Omg that's much lower than anticipated. It does seem like YT is capitalizing and focusing on shorts more and more now, as they are more popular, so I do think it'd be worth at least a scaled back production to keep the channel going and not loosing your following entirely while those changes take impact, but that's so little money for how impactful your videos are even if you took a complete break for a while I think you could easily come back later if you wanted. Best wishes for the new year, and hope getting back to work is fun and fulfilling for you both!
That's why I mainly do long form videos. Better ad revenue. You could just clip together many shorts to showcase many things in a longform video. This would get you a lot more ad revenue.
That is a shame but hear monetization for shorts might change. Also if you do patreon, I might accept to pay for that in hopes of also visiting the country and meeting you folks!! 😊
Definitely post more long form and monetize that - I'd watch to support - the content is informative and interesting, it would be a shame to lose you guys

I find the way you format your videos really easy and engaging to watch, and your narration is not over top, more complicated than it needs to be and a voice that is comfortable to listen to. Thanks for your content!
YT keeps moving the goal post bc they don’t want to pay.
It's more to do with the fact they don't give ADs for shorts because it's incredibly difficult to do. You simply can't do 30 second or unskippable ADs on 30 sec long videos and nobody wants to watch a 5 second skippable AD before watching a short clip - no ADs means no revenue for yourube or the creator but a much better experience for the viewer. I guess they could put ADs in but it'll turn into Snapchat shorts and nobody wants to deal with that, I suggest you have a look at Snapchat and last longer than 5 min if you think ADs in short videos are a good idea. Tiktok also has this problem, creators make nothing from TikTok as there's no good way to provide ADs like in long form content. It's unfortunate for creators but there's more to it than YT not wanting to pay, they're a business they need to generate revenue for it to make sense paying people.
Learned a lot from your shorts.
Hope you enjoyed making them.
Good luck as you return to your real jobs.
You are underrated and underpaid omg it's not fair, I absolutely love your content 🥺🤍🇧🇷
Most of the views are from shorts not long video that's explain why it's little
I had nearly 100k subs (not shorts creator), and laughable ad revenue is the reason why I quit and it's just getting worse every year with many more ads being played. A perfect inverse ratio.
You could make these into longer videos now that you have alot of viewers.
I appreciate your interesting videos! The customs of different cultures is so interesting and it’s distracting my depression right now. I wish you could make more off of it.
The thing is since these are yt shorts you're obviously going to be making less than if you were to make normal 10 - 15 minute videos I feel like people would enjoy longer videos since these are super interesting
That means more time to make those videos. And that also doesn’t mean the views will translate. They’d most likely get way less views than their shorts which means not as much revenue as one would expect.
I love these shorts 🥹I hope they start paying better and hope your shorts gets lots of love!
Here's how much we make per month (45 second side tangent about life in Korea). $58.
I’ve really enjoyed your videos and am grateful for all the work & love you’ve put into making them.
this video only needed to be 15 seconds long 😂😅
Omg. And your videos are better than most channels and far more educational.
I think I could beg for more than you make and I would need only half a day 🤔👀😂
Thank you making these videos congratulations on your family and wishing you success and happiness in all your family does. Please try to keep time to make more videos.
Yall absolutly need to keep making these videos! My wife and I love seeing what it's like in south korea. We have an upcoming trip to seoul to visit friends and your knowledge of just everyday life is what is helping us make decisions on what to expect for prices or for what to expect when we come down. So please keep going if at all possible
Oh no:( I sure hope you choose to stick with it. I love your channel!🥰
It be like that 😥. Let's hope the update to rev share changes the game!
They've definitely made more off of shorts. Since they don't pay much in traditional ad revenue they get paid out of the shorts fund, which could pay up to 10,000 a month if you're getting a bunch of views
That is mind blowing...
And as many ads, as youtube has recently forced me to watch.. like I"M SICK OF ADS.. I'm surprised its not more? I guess youtubes just keeping EVERYTHING from the ads?
I appreciate you actually listing what you make vs it being clickbait
Dang! Didn’t expect the difference in revenue to be so drastic!
I hope you both can eventually do this full time! Social blade is so strange and bad for small communities. Someone called me money hungry because of social blades stats.
I've never made more than a dollar an hour doing YT. Yep I sure am hungry for that money.
Please continue shorts their really great
Finally, honest income! Most youtuber don't want to show theirs
thanks for sharing! i wish more creators would share this kind of information
Thanks for your honesty, unlike other youtubers pretends their millionaires
It’s your beautiful soothing voice
That’s absolutely insane for the amount of work & dedication you all put into these awesome & informative shorts. YT should be ashamed of themselves.
i think big part of the fact that the revenue is that low is cause RUclips gives lower or higher revenue depending in what county you live in no matter what views you make which is something that is a bit sad but at least it's something that you guys enjoy doing with your time
I love your videos!
That is absolutely heartbreaking.
I normally do not watch the comparison review but I liked yours, I hope that you get better revenue for this
Thanks I always thought shorts earn the same ad revenue as long form video. Appreciate your educational video and advice.
Omg that's much lower than anticipated. It does seem like YT is capitalizing and focusing on shorts more and more now, as they are more popular, so I do think it'd be worth at least a scaled back production to keep the channel going and not loosing your following entirely while those changes take impact, but that's so little money for how impactful your videos are even if you took a complete break for a while I think you could easily come back later if you wanted. Best wishes for the new year, and hope getting back to work is fun and fulfilling for you both!
If those stats were on full form videos, you would be in the brackets they mentioned. Shorts is a rip.
Thank you. This is very informative. I wanted to try making videos but this is something I need to consider. 감사합니다.
Please continue making shorts... I really love Korea and want to learn more about it and it's people... Your videos are very informative
Respect for sharing how much you make. Money being taboo is one tool companies use to pay people less.
That's why I mainly do long form videos. Better ad revenue. You could just clip together many shorts to showcase many things in a longform video. This would get you a lot more ad revenue.
I just subscribed bc I feel bad now. I do also like the videos
Thanks for sharing. You gave great revelation knowledge I understand now ❤❤❤❤
You livin on that 1800’s farm boy paycheck 💀
Wow thanks for sharing the actual numbers with us
That is a shame but hear monetization for shorts might change. Also if you do patreon, I might accept to pay for that in hopes of also visiting the country and meeting you folks!! 😊
Definitely post more long form and monetize that - I'd watch to support - the content is informative and interesting, it would be a shame to lose you guys
You should start promoting your long-form content more! I just watched a couple videos and they’re really cool!
Man I’m sorry it’s so little. It it is helpful thank you
I'm no accountant, but that's a huge difference.
The revenues are so low but starting February 1, 2023, the shorts revenue sharing starts.
It makes sense shorts don't have commercials and serve more of an ad and algorithm adjustment to help promote the main channel
