How do you deal with a collab that flopped?
Did a collab with another creator in my niche. Both channels got basically nothing from it. It's awkward now — they keep suggesting another one and I don't know how to say the numbers don't justify it without being weird about 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.
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?

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.
