YouTube shorts don’t pay as much as long form content videos. With 1 million views, shorts will pay you Ksh 3,000 to Ksh10,000. If your shorts get 10 million views, you will earn Ksh 30,000 to Ksh 100,000. With 10 million views, long form videos will pay Ksh 1.5 million to Ksh3 million.
If you are a content creator, avoid shorts because they will not pay you decent income. It’s better to post 2 long form videos daily than posting 20 shorts per day.
YouTube shorts will be pushed and shown to many people on YouTube but the income they will generate isn’t encouraging. Shorts are only good in TikTok and Facebook, not on YouTube.
Below is the money you will earn form YouTube shorts:
10 million views—Ksh 30,000 to Ksh150,000
1 million views—Ksh3,000 to Ksh 10,000
100,000 views—Ksh 500 to Ksh3,000
50,000 views—Ksh200 to Ksh 2,000
20,000 views—Ksh 100 to Ksh 500

1,000 views—Ksh 1 to Ksh 20
