Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current YouTube monetization requirements?
As of 2025, YouTube requires 500+ subscribers and either 3,000+ watch hours in the last 12 months OR 3 million Shorts views in the last 90 days. You also need at least 3 public uploads in the last 90 days and follow all community guidelines.
How much do YouTubers make per 1,000 views?
Earnings vary widely by niche, audience location, and engagement. On average, YouTubers earn between $2-$10 per 1,000 views (RPM). Finance, business, and technology channels typically earn on the higher end, while entertainment and gaming channels often earn less.
How can I increase my YouTube revenue?
To increase your YouTube revenue, focus on creating longer videos (8+ minutes) to qualify for mid-roll ads, target high-CPM niches, improve audience retention, upload consistently, and diversify your revenue streams with channel memberships, Super Thanks, merchandise, and sponsorships.
Do YouTube Shorts make money?
Yes, YouTube Shorts can be monetized through the Shorts Fund and ad revenue sharing. While the revenue per view is typically lower than for long-form content, Shorts' viral potential can lead to significant earnings through higher view counts and by driving traffic to your monetized long-form content.
