Description

💰 How much do creators actually make? Let’s do some quick math 🧮 If your YouTube long-form videos earn a $30 RPM (that’s $30 per 1,000 views), then 1 million views = $30,000 in ad revenue. Get ten of those videos performing and you’re looking at $300,000. Now compare that to short-form. Most platforms pay around $0.06 per 1,000 views 😳 That means 1 million views on Shorts equals about $60. The difference is huge, but that doesn’t mean short-form isn’t valuable. Shorts build exposure, bring in new audiences, and help you promote your long-form content, where the real income potential lives. Use short-form to attract attention. Use long-form to build wealth 💡
