I’m Determined to Become Monetized Through YouTube Shorts

I’m finally seeing some sort of progress through my horror mini videos.

I have no idea how I was finally able to notice progress with my horror YouTube shorts. It took months to even see something, and now I have gotten prove that I could potentially be eligible for applying for the monetization program through YouTube shorts.

I decided to download the YouTube Studio app to check my progress through YouTube shorts for the hell of it, since I started posting on TikTok and YouTube again.

I was shocked to see that I received about 3,000 views on YouTube, and that I could be eligible for apply for the program once I reach any of these milestones:

3,000 valid public watch hours.

3 million shorts views.

Or:

4,000 valid public watch hours.

10 million Shorts views.

I have no idea how this is going to work, but once I am eventually approved for monetization, I will write an article about how the process works for those interested in creating YouTube shorts.

I can’t believe there is potential for me to reach this achievement at some point this year. I don’t know how I’m able to see my progress so far, but I guess YouTube made some changes this time around.

How crazy would it be if I was earning money through mini horror stories?

That would be so cool!

Here is my YouTube account if you are interested in watching mini horror stories! Side note: Each of these stories are not true. They are all fake!
