Most creators will find YouTube pays between $0.03 and £0.07 for 1,000 Shorts views, although this depends on different factors like where the audience is based. That being said, we've seen YouTubers get as little as $0.01 per 1,000 views, and as much as $0.10.

YouTube's Shorts Fund allows creators to get paid for their Shorts regardless of their subscriber count. You have to have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to get the full YouTube Partner Program benefits.

Take some time to explore Shorts. Chances are your students or children will already be using Shorts, so you need to understand the function and its addictive components. If you have children under 12, protect them from this by checking their devices and blocking Shorts. Younger children should not have access.
