YouTube Shorts Monetisasi: Cara Menghasilkan Uang dari Video Pendek

Spesifikasi YouTube Shorts:
├── Durasi: Maksimal 60 detik
├── Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (vertikal)
├── Resolusi: 1080x1920 (recommended)
├── Format: MP4, MOV
├── Music: YouTube Audio Library available
└── Hashtag: #Shorts (opsional tapi recommended)

Timeline:
2021: Shorts Fund ($100M pool)
2022: Shorts Fund continues
2023: Revenue sharing model launched
2024-2025: Full integration with YPP

Cara Kerja:
1. Iklan ditampilkan di antara Shorts di feed
2. Revenue dari iklan dikumpulkan
3. Dibagi berdasarkan total views di negara tersebut
4. Kreator dapat 45% dari allocated revenue
5. Music licensing dikurangi (jika pakai musik)

Formula:
Creator Revenue = (Your Shorts Views / Total Shorts Views) × Ad Pool × 45%

Option 1:
- 1,000 subscribers
- 10 juta public Shorts views dalam 90 hari

Option 2 (traditional):
- 1,000 subscribers
- 4,000 public watch hours dalam 12 bulan

Regular videos: 55% untuk kreator
Shorts: 45% untuk kreator

Kenapa lebih rendah?
- Music licensing costs
- Different ad format
- Shorter engagement time

Regular video CPM: $2-20+ (varies by niche)
Shorts CPM: $0.01-0.15 per 1000 views

Kenapa jauh lebih rendah?
- Shorter ad exposure
- Less engagement time
- Different advertiser value

Conservative estimate:
- 1 juta views = $10-50
- 10 juta views = $100-500
- 100 juta views = $1,000-5,000

Varies by:
- Country of viewers
- Ad demand
- Music usage
- Niche
