How Much YouTube Paid Me For My 10M Viewed Shorts

When posting short videos on YouTube, creators have a few ways to monetize their content. Let's break down the different revenue streams for my short video that received 10 million views:

Sponsorships: A brand pays for a mention in the video. Contrary to some beliefs, the video discussed here is not sponsored. But, if Samsung is watching, please hit me up!
YouTube AdSense: You currently get AdSense money only if people watch the video on their laptop. This policy is changing next year, which is very exciting. For now, AdSense earned me ten dollars for the 10 million views. Although this is better than what Instagram paid for the same video, it’s still significantly less compared to long-form videos.
YouTube Shorts Fund: This is the most profitable avenue. YouTube has a 100 million dollar Shorts fund set aside. After some quick calculations, this video garnered 373 dollars from the Shorts fund.

In total, the video made me 385 dollars through these combined revenue streams.
