Hey Everyone!

I’m managing three YouTube Shorts channels and would love to explore other niches that attract audiences with similar RPM rates. Here’s a breakdown of my current channels and results:

1. Channel 1: Started in September 2023, it has 380K subs, 227.5M Shorts views, 1.7M long-form views, and has made a total of $42,000 in revenue (RPM is $0.21 for a US audience).
2. Channel 2: Started in April 2024, currently has 40K subs, 21M views, and earned $1,300. This one was monetized in September after a two-month posting pause.
3. Channel 3: It’s brand new, only a week old with 20 subs.

All Are Faceless Channels

Time Commitment: I spend about 15-30 minutes on editing and 1 hour on research each day.

I will teach you my workflow

If you have experience with other niches that bring in a similar US audience and RPM, I’d love to exchange insights! Let’s help each other scale up. DO NOT COMMENT , DM Me if you’re interested!

*This was written by AI because my english is bad

If I use music that’s either slowed or chopped & screwed, will that get me a violation?

Also, how exactly does this work with dancehall riddims? Artists in the genre share all of their riddims (beats) so if I use that would I be likely to get a violation?

Just curious if anyone has tried it before.

I have an Arabic channel related to fiction and fantasy, I just hit 700k subs recently, my rpm is 0.89$ with avg 4m views/month on long vids, because Arabic Audience isn't that good in revenue, I decided to make another for English Audience with the same style, I have an accent, and i think my videos is good, but that's my 9th video without any viral with just 20 subs, Is it different in Algorithm or what i have to do to viral one my videos? In Arabic i made a friend suggest my video in End screen so it's started that way, but i know no one in English community to do, is it possible to pay for it even?

I just got monetized on the 20th of last month, I set up my adsense and got my pin back already for address verification so when does the revenue show up in my adsense account and when will I actually see the profit? Also see no option to allocate where the funds will go but it says I have all the steps completed will it ask this on first payout to adsense?

Hello I finally got the requirements of 4k watch hours and created the adsense account. But when i tried to verify with my phone number It says "we couldn't send a verification code to this number" I'm from morocco and a lot of moroccans ans africans are having the same problem.

So currently for the past like 8 years or so YouTube has turned into absolute crap. Do you think YouTube can ever be as good as it was in its golden age again or is that just not possible with all the ads and how scummy the YouTube execs are?

Hi all, I would like to hear some of your feedback and story on how did you make youtube your primary source of income. How long did it take you to do it? What niche you're in? Are you still working full time and uploading YouTube videos? What average salary do you earn from youtube? I'm really interested to hear what mistakes to avoid? I'm very passionate about creating content and I do put a lot of effort into creating high quality content which now started converting into an income. Obviously nothing exciting at this stage but I'm working really hard to make youtube my primary source of income if possible. At the moment I'm working full time but trying to create and upload videos regularly on YT. Am I naive I can make living and support my family of YT? I would not make that call unless I'm earning consistently and enough to feel comfortable quiting full time job. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, once I reached 500subs and 3k watch hours or how much is the criteria, in my youtube channel, I applied in the monetization page to get the benefits that this stage include, and I applied to connect google ad sense yesterday, today I got an email and notification from youtube saying you are now a youtube partner and congratulating me, and being a partner you can monetize videos shorts etc.. Wanted to know does this mean I’m accepted fully as a partner? So when I reach 1k subs I can automatically monetize my videos? Or that will be another process of verifying? Bcs I’m not sure if I should be happy now or wait haha. Ty in advance.

Hey everyone I have a small YT channel and I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on SEO Importance and where to spend the initial money I make on my channel and reinvest.

As of now I have done everything myself from start to finish. I make a few $100 from my channel each month and I want to reinvest this money into an aspect of the channel.

How important would SEO optimisation be for ~$15 per video and also Thumbnail design for about the same price.

Would these be the most optimal areas to initially spend funds as all of my equipment is already accounted for?

Any opinions on what has worked for you would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to ask for your advice and support regarding a situation with my YouTube channel. Recently, I received a notification that my channel’s monetization has been disabled due to a violation of the Sensitive Content policy. More exactly Harmful content involving minors. Dangerous or sexualized content involving minors. But in my videos there are no real minors or characters. However, I wasn’t provided with any specific details about which video or part of my content is problematic.

I create animations that are family-friendly and adhere to YouTube’s guidelines as far as I know. The last video I uploaded was around 8-9 months ago, and during this time, my channel remained eligible for monetization without any issues. Now, out of the blue, I’m told that my channel is no longer eligible, and I’m struggling to understand why.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• I’ve contacted YouTube support and asked for clarification, but they only referred me back to their general policies without pointing out the specific problem.
• I’ve reviewed my content and can’t find anything that seems to violate the guidelines.

Why I Need Help:

I feel stuck because:

1. I can’t address the issue without knowing exactly what’s wrong.
2. Removing or editing videos blindly feels like guesswork, and I might accidentally delete content that’s actually compliant.
3. Waiting 90 days to reapply isn’t a viable option for me, as I strongly believe my channel is in compliance and this is a misunderstanding.

If any of you have experienced something similar or have suggestions on what I can do to prove my compliance and regain monetization, I’d really appreciate your advice. Are there specific steps I can take to escalate this issue or demonstrate that my channel follows YouTube’s policies?

Thank you so much for your time and support. Any guidance or insights would mean a lot to me during this frustrating time.

Hey! I just got monetized this morning which is pretty exciting but also a bit confusing. I only have one video up on my channel so far which is about 31 minutes and I was going to place an ad before and after the video. I however read online that many creators put ads every 90s or so which I find to be a bit much. I ended up adding more midroll ads and spacing them out a bit more. I was wondering if the amount is reasonable or if it’s too excessive? Tysm:))

My ads so far:

Hey all

I am trying to use the Adsense troubleshooter to verify my address or at least see if can get to the contact form. But when I enter the troubleshooter, it asks whether this is the correct email. It is, so I say yes. Then instantly it gives me a page that says Confirm your Email, with "Error loading workflow. Please escalate the issue." underneath. What can I do now??

I want to create this post for people looking to open a discussion on YouTube short and how random can the the Algorithm be on choosing what short can go viral.

Today I got my the best stats ever aver Achieved on shorts 86% VVSA and 113% AVD on 41 Second Short, However it never went viral. While I've gone viral for less Impressive stats, 1.4M views for 72% AVD and 130% AVD on 16 seconds short and 1.8 M views for 80% VVSA and 100% AVD on 39 Seconds short.

https://imgur.com/a/22wiOSE

these are all the screenshot of those videos,

For those who have had million views on shorts how long it did those shorts to reach those numbers? I've only had 2 viral shorts and both blew up after for 1-3 days of posting and died after a week.

also if you've had short that hits 3M views plus did it happen in a steady line graph or does it happened on a stair pattern where it gets to 1M+ views and the blow up even more after more period of time/testing?

So from my understanding i am above the average growth rate since i reached the monetization threshold with 1.15k subs and 4k watch hours in just about 2-3 weeks. I had a my 1st long form do really well with 23k views and 2 shorts with about 20k views each as well and gained hundreds of subs per day in this period but since getting 1k subs about a week ago this has slowed down a lot and im getting like 10 subs a day and new videos are getting less views. Theres no significant drop in quality or consistency so is this just my normal growth now? I am not dissapointed or demotivated im simply just curious if this is how the algorithm works or not

Hi, I have a question, I got the requirements to get monetized by YouTube using Adsense. When I made my first $80, they started asking me to verify my account (sending paperwork). One thing to know is that I am from Senegal, but I live in Canada. Unfortunately all my ID’s and most of my paperwork are from Senegal since I have not been here for a while. But when I was setting up my Adsense account, they asked me about my country of residency, I answered Canada (Senegal was not even in the list so I can’t choose it). The problem is that they keep asking me for an ID (passport, driving license, national card or permit), but all of these are from my home country and whenever I send them, it gets rejected. One of my friends advised me to get a Canadian national card. But it might take a while and I really want to earn from YouTube. What should I do?

They’re always so generous to those creators. Hello, not just the edit and animation quality that matters

With heavy heart and extreme disappointment I'm posting this , in the hope of finding some solution which I have been searching for from a long time. I have been creating space-related content since February 2023 (so roughly its going to be 2 years in sometime) but I have not been able to hit the 1000 subscribers mark yet, let alone the 4000 watch hours. Few of the information I would want to share with you before seeking your guidance. I would write in bullet points to make it more clear :

• Channel Active - Since FEB 2023
• Total Subscribers - 812
• Total number of videos published - 96
• Publishing Frequency - Weekly ( I have published videos every week without fail )
• Content is based on - Space ( at initial phase, I had published few off-topics like mystery, scientific phenomenon, but soon realized to stick to one niche, and has been sticking to it since last 1.5 years)
• Best performing videos - 4th Video on Blackhole ( gave me 17K+ views ) / 18th Video on Time Dilation near Blackhole (18k+ views )
• Last Video that crossed 3k+ - in month of July 2023 ( Since then, none of the videos have crossed even 2k)
• I create facecam videos in a unique style of my own. My audience don't interact too much on my uploads. But, still i generally do get around 25-30 likes in 1000 views.
• My audience generally don't comment on my videos, even when i encourage them to do so by throwing some questions or asking for their opinions.
• I generally don't ask for Subscribing tha channel, as i have not found it very effective.

Though my audience don't comment on my videos, the new audience which lands on my channel have mostly made really positive comments, Like " How come this channel is so small ? " or " Really sad to see Youtube not supporting small channels " even like " This channel deserves half a million subscribers " .

But, having said that, here I'm struggling even to cross the 1000 views mark. Whenever, i hope that the next video will pop-up, my hopes are shattered through video performing really poorly ( less than 200-250 views).

What shall i do please suggest me ? Shall i continue creating videos in the same niche or shall i create a new channel and start working afresh with all the experiences gained so far, with the hope that the initial boost that youtube gives to new youtubers will help me fly past the pole ?

Please show me the light, I'm really confused.

I have tried to create a new channel on the sidelines of this one, but I failed to devote attention due to the ever demanding efforts of this Space-related channel.

So It's been like one week I've verified my address through adsense pin, And it's still saying "we're looking your information" in home page!

YouTube is saying "You need to verify your address "

And all my revenue is still in youtube and 0 in adsense yet!

Does anyone know how long this stuff could take!

Why do people like them so much? What’s so special about hijacking a clip from another platform and adding outdated memes on it? They easily pass 1 million views, sometimes even 100 million

Hi everyone! I’m curious if anyone here is making short animated stories with the help of AI tools. I’ve been exploring ways to produce faceless, story-driven content for YouTube/Shorts without much manual animation or voice acting. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s using AI for this—whether it’s for scripting, generating characters, or even full animations.

If you’re already creating similar content: • What AI tools have you found most helpful? • How do you approach storytelling and visual style with AI assistance? • Any tips for keeping the workflow efficient and maintaining quality?

Thanks in advance! I’d really appreciate any insights or advice on getting started and making the process as smooth as possible!

I guess I got monetized on Sep 2, I've done all the verifications but nothing has happened and it has been over the month by a decent amount now and I'm over the threshold it says.

So just wondering how long it takes for the first time, I get it's monthly after that but can't find an answer on google for how long it takes the first time.

I’ve recently been made partner and have had my first estimated revenue come up and it is saying I have a CPM per 1000views @ $18.69.

I have a mowing and gardening channel (CoastlineMowing)

Thanks in advance for the thoughts 🤙

I am uploading 4GB and it is taking an hour and a half. A video of that size is usually uploaded in under 20 minutes for me. Anyone else experiencing slower uploads?

Lol i joke.

Everyday people write: my views drop. What i do wrong? You do nothing wrong!
So please stop cry.
Please show me youtuber who never down. Maybe there is one human per 50 000 who only up. But 49999 have unstable views. ( Open social blade!! )
Even this girl mrbeast every month have different views. up and down up and down. Why this girl don't write post: MY VIEWS DROP. WHAT I DO WRONG?

Hey, I just started a brand new channel to make an educational content that teaches science. . I format my videos similar to khan academy or organic chemistry tutor, where i teach from notability etc using davinci resolve. i also make my content engaging, and to do that, I make engaging and entertaining scripts with ai celebrity voices teaching. For example, I would use trump and Biden teaching chemistry. Or, for example, Walter white or Joe Rogan or Eric cartman etc.

of course, I spend lots of time making sure that my videos are of very high quality and offer something unique. I’ve only made one so farm and it took many hours.

However, I’m afraid that my channel will be demonetized, so right now I’m disinclined to continue on.

if anyone has experience with this or has knoweldge relating to this, I’d appreciate it a lot! I feel that this not only has legal/copyright implications, but also might conflict with YouTube’s fickle demonetization policies.

As the title says.

Obviously there's the usual tips: Set up the channel right, thumbnails, Titles, SEO, script/editing etc.

But what are some other oft overlooked tips to start a channel off on the right foot?

One I've heard is: Post your first 5 videos all at the same time, and then go into a schedule you can maintain after.

The reasoning behind this is that, if someone likes your first video, they'll go to your page to see your other videos, but if you don't have any, they are unlikely to subscribe. However if they go to your page and see 4 other videos, check those out, they are far far more likely to subscribe.

Do you agree with this one? And what other tips can you think of?

Has anyone ever tried livestreaming through obs (or other) with a steamdeck? Im trying to sort out how it can be done. Id love to check out streams and give it a try myself. Pretty new to livestreaming but Im currently in the YT bootcamp for it

ive got a youtube channel where i reupload old trailers/commercials etc., lostmedia kind of stuff, can i apply for adsense?

will your adress be used to send you mail from youtube?

will you still earn money even if you dont upload?

I do a lot of basic stuff, don’t share my real name or state, have a separate public email. I pay to have my real name removed from all the stalker sites.

What else do you do? I’m kind of worried about old photos of me as a kid floating around the internet, but that seems unlikely to cause problems.
