How do I monetize my YouTube short account?

To monetize your YouTube Shorts account, you must first meet the eligibility criteria for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). The YPP allows creators to monetize their content by displaying ads on their videos and earning revenue from those ads.

Here are the steps to monetize your YouTube Shorts account:

Meet the eligibility criteria: To be eligible for the YPP, you must have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours on your channel in the past 12 months. You also need to comply with the YouTube Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

Enable monetization: Once you meet the eligibility criteria, you can enable monetization on your channel by going to the YouTube Studio and selecting "Monetization" from the left-hand menu. Follow the prompts to set up your AdSense account and connect it to your YouTube channel. Optimize your content: To increase your earnings from YouTube Shorts, you should focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that resonates with your audience. You can also optimize your content for ad revenue by including relevant keywords, using tags, and creating longer videos.

Stay compliant: As a YouTube creator, it's important to stay compliant with the YouTube Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Violations can result in demonetization or even account termination.

It's worth noting that not all YouTube Shorts are monetized. Only Shorts that meet certain criteria, such as being vertical and less than 60 seconds long, are eligible for monetization. You can check the specific eligibility criteria for YouTube Shorts monetization on the YouTube Help Center.
