Monetize short videos

Short videos are among the reasons for profiting from the Internet through content creation, and it is a short video that does not exceed 60 seconds, and this type of video is faster to spread and create a very terrible interaction, and it has even become among the ways to promote products and companies more than long videos.


Profit from short videos varies from one platform to another, and the most popular platforms that offer to make money from short videos are YouTube, Tik Tok, and Facebook. There are many websites and apps that offer the same strategy as Kwai, but they are not more famous than the platforms we mentioned to you in the first.



Short videos became famous when the Tik Tok platform succeeded in increasing its interaction, knowing that there are famous platforms that preceded Tik Tok in publishing short videos such as Instagram and Snapchat, but did not succeed as the Tik Tok platform succeeded.


But the question that many content creators ask: What is the best platform to profit from short videos? What are the conditions of each platform? What are the disadvantages and advantages? These are most of the questions that content creators ask in the virtual world.


What are the best platforms to profit from short videos?

The profit from short videos varies from one platform to another, YouTube profits are not Facebook's profits, and Tik Tok profits are not Facebook's profits, so you must choose the platform carefully, or you can target it at once with the same videos and there is nothing wrong with that.


YouTube short video profits: YouTube is a famous platform for publishing videos by content makers in many fields, and it is really the strongest platform for profiting from long videos, and I have not found a competitor for it yet, but for short videos, it is very different with long videos with full regret.


The experiment conducted by Hisham Hashem's channel is that the profits of short videos are almost non-existent, and they are not worth fighting for, and the reason is that one of her short videos achieved more than 130,000 views, and the profits did not exceed $ 1.54.


As you notice in the picture, profits are not motivating and will not enrich you with anything, and this is the biggest mistake in YouTube in terms of profit from videos, but there are advantages of short videos that we will talk about in this lesson when we finish comparing profits between famous platforms.


PROFITS OF SHORT VIDEOS FACEBOOK: FACEBOOK IS THE FIRST COMPETITOR TO YOUTUBE IN TERMS OF CONTENT INDUSTRY, BUT FACEBOOK HAS ITS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES, AND AMONG ITS DISADVANTAGES AS WELL, WHICH IS PROFIT FROM  SHORT VIDEOS, OR THE SO-CALLED REELS.



Hisham Hashem's experience about profit from  a short video, which is unsatisfactory results as well, and profits do not exceed $ 3 in more than 130,000 views, and frankly, this is frustrating because you feel as if your effort is being exploited without a good reward, and let's be frank, we target Arabs and I do not know about the profits of foreigners.


Profits of short videos Tik Tok: Tik Tok is the first race to compete for profit from short videos, and Tik Tok is not the balance of profits of short videos in all platforms, but it is what made YouTube decide to open the opportunity to profit from Shorts.


When the Tik Tok application appeared on smartphones, an imaginary number of people around the world turned to it, and the reason is that Tik Tok offers an easy interface that contains only videos that do not exceed 60 seconds, but now it supports 10 minutes for those who want to share it without any restrictions.


To be honest, I did not try Tik Tok's profits, but searched for details about how much you earn per 1000 views, and I found the answers shocking the reader and viewer. Tik Tok earnings per 1000 views from between $0.02 to $0.04, meaning every 130,000 views you will earn between $2.6 and $5.2.


The winner is Tik Tok, although the profits are very weak. In summary, you should make sure to publish a successful video that reaches one million views to earn at least between $20 and $40.


Reviews of short videos

Of course, we do not deny that short videos are one of the best videos for the year 2024, and they are the future of content creators, but not to profit from advertising, but for another purpose that we will mention how much.


Features of short videos:

Speed of spread: Among the advantages of short videos is the speed of spread, and this is in your interest to promote products and advertise for institutions and companies, meaning you can be a content creator in Tik Tok and Facebook and make advertisements for companies because you have very large views.


Saving working time: As a content creator on YouTube and Facebook, I find comfort in publishing short videos more than long videos, and the reason is that long videos take a lot of time in filming, editing and uploading videos, unlike short videos.



Increasing subscribers: One of the things that increase in subscribers is short videos, especially on Facebook and YouTube, and I noticed that it is really worth relying on in order to double subscribers on YouTube and Facebook.


Disadvantages of short videos:

Profits: One of the biggest disadvantages of short videos is the weakness of profits and we are still in the year 2024, perhaps in the future things will change, but the only drawback is the problem of profits.


YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and others who make money from short videos should accelerate the doubling of profits, because 99% of content creators chase money wherever they are and go. But if you think about these companies well, you will find a great demand from people when they raise the percentage of profits,


What are the conditions for earning from short videos?

The conditions for earning from short videos differ from YouTube, Facebook and Tik Tok, but they have the same requirements, except that the difference is in the number only.


Conditions for earning from Tik Tok:


  • 10 thousand followers.
  • Collect 100,000 views.
