New Delhi: YouTube is all set to pay up to $10,000 per month to creators creating and sharing YouTube Shorts on the video hosting platform. The Google-owned platform will be paying content creators from the $100 million creator fund that was set up to promote the content creator ecosystem.

He also pointed that creators will have the opportunity to earn up to $10,000 per month (roughly around Rs 7.41 lakhs) for making YouTube Shorts. 

The fund for Shorts’ creators was first announced by YouTube in May 2021. However, at that time, YouTube’s hadn’t shared many details about the fund.  “The popularity needed to earn money will depend on just how many people are making and watching Shorts each month, and payouts will also depend on where each creator’s audience is located,” the Verge reported.
