Okay, I do not gatekeep. So, this is my
channel right here, Stories Told. You
can look this up. It got 129 million
views in the past 365 days. And I'm
about to reveal how much revenue this
made. Now, our channel targeted a
USspeaking audience, which is the only
thing that really matters in terms of
how much money you make from shorts. So,
it got 129 million views, 1.4 million
watch hours, 152,000 subscribers in that
time period, and it wasn't monetized at
the very beginning. So, you can see the
views were there, but under revenue, we
didn't actually start earning until we
got monetized. And we ended up earning $12,387
$12,387
from ad revenue. But this was not our
only source of income, which a lot of
people don't know don't know about, is
that you can also earn money from music
royalties. So, on my channel, you can
see here, I'll go to it. Um, if we go to
the shorts, every single video that we
posted had a song right here by Blastoff
Music, Echoes of Solitude. We honestly
just used Echoes of Solitude on every
single video. And this was able to make
us into across our channels an extra $41,000.
$41,000.
Now, this wasn't only on Stories Told,
right? We had multiple channels that
were promoting the music, but I know our
channel Stories Told made at least 10
grand from just running this music on
every single one of our videos. And so,
yeah, there we go. Echoes of Solitude
again by Blast Life Music. Echoes of
Solitude. So, a again, a lot of people
have no idea that this exists, but it's
a huge way to earn a bunch of extra
revenue from the YouTube shorts that
you're posting. Anyways, so yeah, in
total, we made around $12,000 from ad
revenue off of 129 million views and
then probably an extra $10,000 minimum
from music royalties with Blastoff Media
if you also include how much money we
made for just promoting this song in
every single one of our videos. And it
worked perfectly with our content
anyways. So yeah, that's how much this
