YouTube Shorts revenue is finally getting real
I ignored Shorts for two years. Started posting repurposed vertical cuts 6 weeks ago. RPM is low but volume is making up for it — roughly $200 extra last month on a channel that was plateaued. Still early but sharing in case others are sleeping on it.

How long do you spend on a caption?
Genuinely asking because I feel like I waste too much time on this. Sometimes I'll write and rewrite for 30 minutes. Other times I slap something together in 2 minutes and it outperforms everything. Is there a real signal here or just noise?
Do you disclose affiliate links even when the platform doesn't require it?
FTC technically requires disclosure everywhere but enforcement is essentially nonexistent on short-form. I always disclose on YouTube and Substack. I'm inconsistent on IG. Curious what others actually do vs what they say they do.

Brand wants approval rights over my caption — how do you handle this?
They're not asking to write the caption, just to 'review and approve' before I post. I've never agreed to this before. Feels like a creative control red flag but the deal is decent. Do you allow this?

Posted once a day for 30 days — here's what happened
Follower growth was about 12% over the month which sounds good but most were ghost accounts. Engagement rate dropped because I was posting quantity over quality. Not sure I'd do it again. Anyone had a different experience with the daily posting challenge?

What's your take on YouTube's ad revenue share for Shorts?
The 45% to creators vs 55% for long-form feels like they're still figuring it out. Meanwhile TikTok's creativity fund is a joke. Anyone actually building sustainable income off short-form ad revenue alone?
