That has been frustrating, especially for smaller scale creators on the platform. The monetization update doesn\u2019t change that fact but it does make it easier to accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time creators have been able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/blog\/how-to-make-money-youtube-shorts\/\">make money with YouTube Shorts<\/a>. It <em>is<\/em> the first time creators can make money predictably. And regular, long-term, predictable payment is what creators need and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, YouTube Shorts monetization is good news for creators. Given that creators are the ones who make the content that brings the audience, it bodes well for YouTube Shorts too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-longform-videos-into-shorts\">Making longform videos into Shorts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before this YouTube Shorts monetization update, the only reason for most long-form creators to consider Shorts was the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/blog\/youtube-shorts-grow-your-channel\/\">growing their channel<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, creating shorts from long-form videos to get a cut of that ad revenue just makes sense. But how? How do creators take their long-form videos and translate them into Shorts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If only a company whose whole purpose is to help YouTube creators succeed had been thinking about this for a while. If only they saw fit to release a new feature to help creators succeed with Shorts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it could use AI to highlight the parts of a longform video that got the most engagement. Then perhaps it could take those highlights and make Shorts recommendations and set creators up for Shorts success. Oooh! What if it gave creators timecodes and context that they would then use to either create a cutdown or better yet, a new Short? Then what if (speaking hypothetically here) it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/p\/suggested-shorts\/\">released in beta<\/a> in a week and in full in like a month?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019d be pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"blog-cta-global\">\n    <div><\/div>\n    <article>\n        <header>\n<!--DONT EDIT THIS IMAMGE-->\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tubebuddy_by_BENlabs_logo_on_dark_bg.svg\" \/>\n        <\/header>\n        \n<!--EDIT INFO FROM HERE DOWN-->\n        \n        \n<!--HEADER-->\n        <h3>\n            Get an unfair advantage on YouTube\n        <\/h3>\n        \n        \n<!--DESCRIPTION-->\n        <p>\n            Give your YouTube channel the upper hand and easily optimize for more views, more subs, and more of every metric that matters.\n        <\/p>\n        \n<!--CTA LINK &amp; TEXT-->\n        <section>\n            \n    <!--LINK-->\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/pricing?utm_source=site&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=blog-cta&amp;utm_id=standard-cta\">\n                \n    <!--TEXT-->\n                get started\n            <\/a>\n        <\/section>\n        \n<!--BOTTOM IMAGE (REMOVE SRC IF NONE)-->\n  \n     <img \/> \n   \n        \n    <\/article>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of right (checks watch) now, YouTube Shorts monetization is here.
