10M Shorts Views Not Enough? Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:01] listen carefully to one thing. Even if you complete 10 million views on your channel, the channel will still not be monetized. This is the rule for monetizing a YouTube channel. You can see here that this is the

[00:14] eligibility criteria for YouTube's partner program. What are the rules? Complete 1000 subscribers on your channel. One makes long videos will complete 4,000 hours of watch time. And those who make shorts have to complete 10 million views on their channel. But if you are

[00:28] wondering that if my channel somehow reaches 10 million views, will the channel get monetized? Brother it will not be monetized. Because friend, look, these views that are counted in monetization are different views. In this you need valid public

[00:42] shorts views. YouTube shorts channel or any channel that gets views. It comes from many sources. Ok? There are many sources. Some short feeds were sourced. Some became browse page , some became search page, some

[00:54] became suggestion page, some became channel page, some became home page. There are many sources for this method. But what does YouTube have to say? The 10 million views we count for monetizing short videos will only count valid public Shorts views. This

[01:07] means that all the views will not be counted as yours. Suppose the channel has a total of 10 million views, then it is possible that may be only two million count or it may be that these views are not counted at all. So,

[01:22] may be that these views are not counted at all. So, tell you so that you will not face any problem in future. Ok? Like look, first of all let me show you one thing. This post is from YouTube Creator India.

[01:34] Now they have clearly told here that if you are applying for YPP is fine? Like look here he has written 10 million views on short video but still he is not able to apply for YPB.

[01:48] Meaning, if your channel has 10 million views but still you are ? Your apply option is not coming. Now, as he has explained here, this can confuse any creator a lot. Your shorts video has reached a total of 10

[02:03] million views. But the earning page is what we call Earn Tab. Ok ? The Earn tab, for example, when you open YT Studio, the see how many subscribers you have completed, how many milestone views have you achieved,

[02:20] how much watch time has you achieved, at that place it is called Earn tab or Earn tab, okay, so on the Earn tab it is still written that you are not eligible for the YouTube Partner Program, what does this mean, why is this happening, so let me

[02:33] tell you, this happens because I tell you again that to monetize the channel, 10 million valid social views are required. Valid views and if your channel does not have 10 million valid views including the total views of the entire channel, then it will

[02:46] not be monetized. Now let me explain in a little more detail so that you will understand it better. As you can see here, this told what kind of counting will take place and what kind will not take place. Now

[03:01] look carefully here, what is the difference between views and valid views? Because look friend, you might not know. You people must be thinking only one thing that if somehow my channel gets 10 million views then we will monetize it. But friend, these views will

[03:13] count in your monetization, only then will you monetize. Now suppose you have achieved 20 million views count i.e. total gain on the channel. A video went viral and got 20 million views. Now, if you assume that out of these 20 million views,

[03:25] then what is the use of these 20 million views. That's why you see here, it is told views. That's why you see here, it is told

[03:37] every view on a short video does not count towards the 10 million views required to be eligible for YPP. Meaning, I am telling you again every view you get on your short video. The I am telling you again every view you get on your short video. The

[03:52] gone, browse feature is gone, channel home page is gone. There are many other sources as well. Views also come from external sources etc. But all these views do not count. Ok he has said this, hence it is important to understand the difference between the total views and valid public views received on your short video.

[04:07] Now the difference is given here as an example, please look carefully. It is written here if you get 10 million views on a short video because of Google Ad campaign. I mean, suppose you have a short

[04:22] video. Ok? And for some reason you ran a Google Ad campaign on this video or someone else ran a campaign and because of that, suppose your video completes 10 million views, will your channel get monetized? No, it will not be monetized.

[04:36] Because those views will not be counted for you. Now, as it is written here, these views will not be considered organic. This means that if you use Google Ads, they will not be considered organic and will not be counted for eligibility for YPP.

[04:51] Meaning this type of views will not be counted for you. But now the question is in monetization? Because friend, we need 10 million valid public views for monetization. Ok? So what kind of count would that be? Let me explain that to you as well

[05:05] so you know. Like look here, this is the third page of YouTube Creator India. They have mentioned here which views are not counted. Okay, right? Just look carefully. Here they have written that the

[05:18] valid views of your channel for YPP eligibility do not include views not include views which are not outside the short feed. Such as through your channel page, external links, or embedded videos, etc.

[05:33] Now what is all this? For example, suppose the shorts get the most views. Ok? On shorts, that is the short feed. The short feed gets the most views. Now brother, apart from the short feed, if you get views from any other source other than this, then

[05:47] those views will not be counted. For example, let's say look here, let me show you a screenshot. Now, this short video of mine has got most of the views, some from search, some from home page, okay, that

[05:59] less from short feed, so look, whatever views it has, I will mark it, the views it has got from short feed, only these views will be counted in monetization and the rest of the views will not be counted, all those views will remain on the channel,

[06:12] but when it comes to monetization, where 10 million is required, at that place, the rest of the views will not be added, they will not be added, only the views that are visible from the short feed, this is how they have explained it here. Now here it is said like channel

[06:26] page, that is, suppose if someone visits your channel, goes inside the channel and watches the video from there, then those views will also not be counted. That too will not connect. Ok? Now after that I told you to look here, external link means if you share the link somewhere through any

[06:41] medium and people come, then brother, that too will not be counted. If you have embedded it, meaning you have used it in the channel's trailer or banner etc., then that too will not be counted. In this way he has explained it clearly. Now after that, look here, one more thing has been told. A

[06:54] lot of people remain confused. It is written here that if the views are from deleted or private shorts videos, then those views will also not be counted. Do you know what some people do ? For example, someone else's video was taken from somewhere else, from YouTube or

[07:07] Facebook or Instagram, and uploaded on YouTube. suddenly some video gets, let's say, 20 million views. Suppose someone gets 50 million views. Many times it happens that a video gets automatic views. So suppose the

[07:20] views came and suppose you deleted this video by mistake because friend, if you YouTube will delete it and if YouTube does not delete it, you will think that it will not be monetized, so if you delete it then the

[07:36] I will not keep this video on the channel. I will make it private. Ok? Should I make it private or what will I do? I will unlist it. So what will happen then? These views will also end for you. Meaning, the video will

[07:50] remain in the public domain and only its views will be counted. So these are the things. Here they have told that the views received from deleted or private shorts videos will also not be counted. Now after that, look here, it is mentioned below that if you have

[08:02] received it from ad campaigns like Google Ads, that too will not be counted. Whether you have brought views to your video through Google Adwords or through promotion in any other way,

[08:14] So you must have understood some of these things. Meaning, you should understand one thing that whatever views your video will get from the short feed will be original. Ok? Only extra views will not be counted. As an example, let me

[08:29] show you the screenshot here again. What you see is the short feed views, these will be my only views count. Similarly, whatever other views etc. there are, none of the above or below will be things. If you are currently making short videos, keep this in mind that only

[08:43] this type of views will count. Do tell us in the comments how you liked the rest of the information and if you want to know everything about YouTube, from creating a channel to the process of money coming into your bank, then click on it once. Look at this video. On this
