What is RPM? Why Every Cent Matters for Shorts
60sBreaks down the core metric RPM in simple terms, showing even a 1-cent difference matters at scale—perfect for beginners.
▶ Play Clip"Delivers a practical tutorial that matches the title, but repetitive explanations and a long anti-privacy rant drag it down."
This video explains two proven ways to earn money on YouTube Shorts by using music: joining a music affiliate program with zero investment, or creating and distributing your own songs to collect royalties. The creator walks through the entire setup process, from registering and verifying your channel to choosing tracks and understanding how YouTube pays for Shorts.
There are many music affiliate programs; the creator recommends the one that gave the highest RPM in his tests, even if the difference is only 1 cent per 1,000 views.
RPM (PM) is the amount you earn per 1,000 views. It varies by niche and country.
When uploading to multiple channels from the same IP, some channels may stop getting views. He recommends a separate IP per channel.
Click the referral link (gives a 3% bonus), register, then add your YouTube channel to the account.
The affiliate program gives you a verification code; paste it into your channel description, publish, then click verification in the affiliate dashboard.
Each track has a code starting with 'krimim' + numbers. Copy it and use it in the YouTube Shorts 'Add sound' search to find the exact song.
Music monetization works exclusively for vertical Shorts up to 1 minute (minimum 35 seconds for good RPM). Long videos are not eligible.
Below 33 seconds, RPM drops by 5%; a 5-second video can yield less than 1 cent per 1,000 views.
Use at least 10–15% of the song; he uses 25% so it doesn't distract. Adjust the video's original sound to 15% louder for balance.
The affiliate program shows income and RPM approximately 2–3 days after a Short is published.
A Short with 30 million views had 4 million premium views (over 10%). The payment covers only premium views in the affiliate program.
The affiliate program pays via bank transfer (Swift), Payoneer, or PayPal. Bank transfer costs $35 and takes 3–5 days.
Create a track yourself, buy one (e.g., $15 per minute on freelance), or generate it with Suno, then release it through a distributor.
Only distributors can put your song on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. He recommends Amuse after a week-long analysis of alternatives.
Without Content ID, your song won't appear in the Shorts music library and you won't earn from Shorts. Content ID identifies your song across videos.
Affiliate programs take about 30% commission. With your own music, you keep 100% of the royalties, and Content ID automatically collects them.
YouTube divides Shorts revenue: 45% to video creators, 45% to music rights holders, and keeps 10%. Using music increases total earnings.
What does RPM measure?
The amount you earn per 1,000 views.
01:15
What is the minimum Shorts duration for good monetization?
35 seconds.
10:45
What happens to RPM when a Short is 33 seconds or shorter?
RPM drops by about 5%.
11:00
What percentage of music volume did the creator use in his Shorts?
25%.
11:30
What is the common prefix for track codes in the recommended affiliate program?
'krimim' followed by numbers.
08:28
Why can't you add music to a YouTube Short longer than 1 minute?
The 'Add Sound' button is disabled for videos over 1 minute due to copyright rules.
13:08
What percentage of views were premium views in the 30-million-view example?
About 10% (4 million out of 30 million).
16:38
Which payment methods does the affiliate program offer?
Bank transfer (Swift), Payoneer, and PayPal.
18:47
What does Content ID do?

How much do affiliate programs typically take as commission?
About 30%.
30:48
How does YouTube split Shorts revenue between video and music?
45% to video creators, 45% to music rights holders, and YouTube keeps 10%.
33:30
What is one benefit of using your own music over an affiliate track?
You keep 100% of royalties and can earn from every use of your song via Content ID.

32:47[00:02] Today we'll continue the topic of how to make money on American YouTube using music. There were a lot of questions after the first video in the chat. There
[00:15] was a lot of misunderstanding, confusion about what, how, why. Later , after watching my video, I realized that I had either explained everything superficially or had used terms that most people didn’t even understand what they
[00:29] was a lot of misunderstanding about longs, shorts, duration, etc. longs, shorts, duration, etc. That's why today I want to That's why today I want to get right down to this topic and
[00:43] explain what, how and why. So, the first thing I told you is that you need to sign up for an affiliate program that has music. There are many affiliate programs. There are popular ones, and there are those that are well-known.
[00:59] Uh, there are some catches everywhere, somewhere they pay longer, somewhere they pay less altogether . That is, uh, I have decided for myself that the specific affiliate program that I will recommend to you is the one that has given the
[01:15] maximum PM in all my tests. Let's start from the beginning. What is PM? PM is the amount you get paid for 1,000 views.
[01:28] Got it, I hope. So, this particular affiliate program, according to my personal tests, produced affiliate program, according to my personal tests, produced more PM. Even if it differs by only 1 cent from another affiliate program, it will already be an advantage, because it seems like
[01:42] 1 cent, but it is for 1,000 views. If you have tens of millions, you will understand that there is a difference in this. There is a certain type of people, namely Indians, certain type of people, namely Indians,
[01:58] generally make all their videos only for their audience, that is, for India, and their RPM there is a priori about a cent, or even less. That is, they live by making videos in which the PM is 1 cent, and they are happy with it. That is, they
[02:13] get their $50 a month with 100 million views or more. Apparently, this is enough for them to live on. That's why this 1 cent plays a big role. That's why I chose this particular affiliate program . Plus
[02:29] when you register using my link you will get a 3% bonus I think. I will also receive this bonus, but this bonus does not make me feel either cold or hot. But why not register via referral and receive this 3% bonus, if
[02:44] not receive it at all? That is, this is already an additional increase. In my opinion, the maximum bonus that can be there is 15%. You need to become a partner of this affiliate program. Eh, I didn't even get into it at all. These are not the amounts to
[02:57] worry about here. My goal is to show you as quickly as possible start earning at least some money. It is possible even without investments. From the attachment, I already said that you will need a proxy, because without a
[03:10] proxy it will be difficult when you upload from your one IP to several channels. At least for me, it’s like this: some channels just start to die, not giving any views at all. Maybe there is a connection, maybe
[03:23] I was just unlucky, and that will be okay. But I always advise everyone, and I do it myself, to use one IP per channel. This will simply protect you from channel. This will simply protect you from any unnecessary body movements. to
[03:37] least you will understand that this is definitely not the issue. So, let's begin. The first thing we need to do is follow the link to this affiliate program and register here. I will now show you the entire process just in case, so that there are no
[03:54] more misunderstandings. But for some reason it’s not here, yes, just go through Google. OK. Well, I have some kind of account. Now we will make a
[04:22] when you follow my link, you will either have the code already entered automatically most likely it will be introduced. I won't register another account for myself under my own referral now. You never know , you might not like it.
[04:37] Password, what is it? Username is very long, isn't it? Let's make one like this then. So-s. Here we have entered the affiliate program. Now the first thing we
[04:49] need is to add our channel. We enter the channel. Here are instructions on what to do. We can either look at this instruction, or we can just listen to me.
[05:03] we can just listen to me. And you need to go to YouTube, go to YouTube Studio. And here, personalization is called differently by everyone in their own language. You can just look at what
[05:18] this icon looks like and you will see. Customization is generally called in English. generally called in English. So-s. Now click register. We need to provide a link first. We have a link here. Here, all of this is
[05:32] in this department, in the section, or rather, in personalization. We go in, insert, select a category. In general, a random category is possible. It doesn't affect anything. I don't even know why they did it. I'll choose a comedy. Let there
[05:45] be a comedy. Now they will give me a code. I need to insert this code they will give me a code. I need to insert this code in my channel description.
[05:57] just copy it and paste it into the description. I click publish. And to make sure that everything is okay, you can click here to view your channel or in another way
[06:10] simply go to your channel and see. Here it is, you see, in the description. you see, in the description. Now we go in, click verification and wait. It can be updated.
[06:24] It can be updated. So-s. There seem to be some errors here. That's it
[06:37] randomness. From up there I saw that this channel had already been cut off. Well, that's all. That's all you need to do. There is nothing complicated about it. Now you can go back and delete this . It is no longer needed. We've already, uh,
[06:52] verified with the affiliate program that we are the owner of this channel. This is also a very strange way of checking, but nevertheless, even if you delete everything here, you won’t lose anything. Only after you add
[07:05] your channel here, you can take music and publish it. That is, you can take the music earlier if it is available to you , but you will not receive anything from it . That is, until your channel gets established here, it happens
[07:18] that you get it super-fast, sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in 15 minutes. I don’t know what the reason is, maybe it’s the influx of users or something else, but usually it takes up to a minute. Once you have approfed status here, that's it,
[07:31] you can go into music. And here you should find any music that suits your video. In principle, you can just take a random one, it doesn't matter. That is, I try to select a song that fits the theme of the video. That
[07:44] is, so that it is in the background, you can barely hear it there, but at least it does not distract from anything. If I have a lot of some text there, there is a voice let's say, if we take some kind of series, where in general, basically
[07:58] all series are always some kind of dialogue. And then there are dialogues, you hear the actors’ voices, and then someone starts singing songs in some other childish overlap. Well, you will understand all this and, as they
[08:13] say, you should insert it all yourself, intuitively. So, what are you doing? You take the title of the song, not the name, but rather its code. You see, this affiliate program always starts all of its tracks with this phrase: krimim. It's like
[08:28] phrase: krimim. It's like Crimea, only we feed. And some numbers. And after you have chosen a track for yourself, you can copy it here. I don’t know how it’s copied here, yes, it’s copied by this cream. And you take
[08:40] this code, log in from your phone, upload a video short, that is, click add video, upload this video, and you will have a button at the top to add music
[08:52] or add sound, I don’t know how it’s done differently either. Well, each language will have its own. Anyway, you get the idea, we need to add music. You click add music, a list of some songs appears, some are trending, some are popular now, and there are the top ones. And
[09:08] there is a search at the top. In the search, simply enter the name of this one. And now there are a lot more enter the name of this one. And now there are a lot more , uh, imitators of these affiliates, who simply call their track the same name so that
[09:21] they can supposedly be used. That is, you search by this code, and in theory you should find one song, one track. This track must completely match what is written here. That is, let's say, in our case, if we
[09:35] copied this, you go in, and you see this thing in the track. That is, the same name. That's it, click add. Now, I hope everything is clear here and there is nothing complicated. And if you go to the affiliate program, here are all the
[09:50] guides on what to do. Here's a guide on how to do this from your phone. That is, you go in, click the plus sign, add a song. There you go, that's all, for now she's here, you don't even have to There you go, that's all, for now she's here, you don't even have to
[10:03] when you type in this query, and you see the title, and it happens now that there are two songs, and one of these songs is called exactly this code. That is, these are some kind of imitators who just want to squeeze traffic from you. That
[10:16] is, we do not use them. That is, the picture should be of this kind. the picture should be of this kind. Now let's move on. Music in general, earning money from music is exclusively for the Shors.
[10:30] We are not including any long videos here, only short format, that is, vertical short format, that is, vertical video format up to 1 minute. The longer your video, the better, but it shouldn't be less than 35 seconds.
[10:45] They talk about it everywhere. Any affiliate program you don't visit will have a message like this. You see that it takes 35 seconds. The less, You see that it takes 35 seconds. The less, the worse your PM will be. I noticed that the
[11:00] fall started right from the thirty-third second already. If you have 33 seconds, there is already a 5% drop in RPM. That is, you don’t have 20 cents of RPM, but there 18 cents or there 19 cents. And then the shorter your
[11:16] video length, the lower your PM. And, let's say, on a five-second video my PM is less than a cent. That is, there is 01 cent, that is, 1 cent. And this can happen. Here they write what you need.
[11:30] happen. Here they write what you need. You need to use the sound of the song itself at least 10-15%. I give it 25% because it doesn't interfere with the video itself at all. First of all, when I edit
[11:44] this video of mine, I do n’t use any music in it. For now I'll just take the video itself. I add music only when I upload a video directly from my phone. So, I just turn up the volume a little, about
[11:58] 15 percent louder for the sound of my video itself, that is, these dialogues, some kind of serial or whatever. If a series has some dialogue and music playing in the background , which often happens . In the
[12:11] same capcat you can go in and leave only your voice. It's free. The it might be in the pre-release version. Somehow I have a free version of Capcat. I just went to the site and downloaded it. That is, I didn’t use any trackers or anything. I
[12:25] just went to the official Kavkat website, downloaded it, didn't even have to log in anywhere, and now I have everything available. Therefore, these are already some subtleties. You make sure that you have all these functions in your Capcat. That is, I turned up
[12:39] the sound a little more there so that later, when I add music here and I set it there at 25%, there would be absolutely no imbalance between the music and my video. That is, now the viewer barely hears
[12:56] this music from the partner in the background, but clearly hears all the dialogue and, in general, seen and heard. Why can't you do it for more than a minute?
[13:08] YouTube itself won't let you add a song if your video is longer than one minute. Most likely, there are already some completely different rules there regarding
[13:20] copyright law. That is, if YouTube explicitly stated that absolutely any song on all Shorts for up to one minute, and you will never get a copyright strike for it never get a copyright strike for it , you could get a policy.
[13:35] which will simply turn off monetization in some countries specifically due to this song. This happens, but rarely. And there are mostly countries there that you do n’t need. That is to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. When you start
[13:49] using music on Shores for more than one minute, you can get a copyright strike. I don’t know, I’ve never done that, I’ve never gotten into trouble like that. Maybe I've already mixed something up, but I know for sure that for more than a minute you
[14:02] simply won't have this Add Sound button. You will be told that you cannot Sound button. You will be told that you cannot add music to a track on a video longer than 1 minute. All. So you came in, you added all this, everything is fine with you.
[14:17] I have no idea what the difficulty is. Let me repeat once again , this works exclusively with long-format shorts, that is, horizontal video format. This is how you are watching my video now, this is called long. There are essentially two formats:
[14:32] shorts, vertical short videos, which speaks for itself in the name. And there is a long one, that is, the videos there can be an hour or two, and now I will have can be an hour or two, and now I will have half an hour, as usual. That is, in the long we
[14:45] don’t use this music at all. Even if you have your own music, which I'll tell you about a little later, there are still nuances to using your own nuances to using your own music. Therefore, all this only concerns
[14:57] . And please don't write in the chat anymore, that's why I added it to the long list , but it didn't work, because it won't happen. Works only for Shors. The whole advantage of working with this affiliate program is that you have absolutely no
[15:13] investment. You don't have to do anything. There are no fees to pay here, no subscription fees to pay, and nothing to do. You saw, I came in, registered with you, connected my channel, and
[15:27] my channel, and all these tracks immediately became available to me. That's it, you came in and filled up some shorts. After 2 days, it is written here: income from shorts is based on a day or two. That is, in 2 days you will see statistics for
[15:42] days you will see statistics for your video here. Possibly 3 days. That is, there sometimes glitches and doesn't display the correct status at the right moment. Therefore, correct status at the right moment. Therefore, you won’t have anything complicated here.
[15:56] So you came here, didn't spend a penny, took this music, added it to your track, oh, ugh, to the video. You will even have 15,000 views there, for example, yes, you are already sitting in prison . From these 15,000 views, you
[16:10] will get 10% premium views. They pay only for premium views. That is, only for premium views. That is, users, uh, at the time of watching the video, who had YouTube premium active. You know, right, what is this
[16:23] ? They just pay for them. Your own music pays for absolutely everything. Specifically, the affiliate program only pays for premium, but this doesn’t make much of a difference because the affiliate program pays well. I don’t know, you
[16:38] can calculate the average PM here. So they gave out some, yes, someone’s picture for 7 days. Someone had 30 million views, of which 4 million were premium views. That is, it is even a little more than 10%. And the specific percentage of
[16:55] premium users depends on the niche. More precisely, it does not depend on the niche, but the niche will influence whether a person will have a premium or not. It's unlikely that a schoolchild who sits, plays Roblk and watches videos there will have
[17:11] YouTube Premium. That is, if only his parents had money and were ready to buy him this premium so that he would n’t watch ads, perhaps he would watch it on his mother’s phone, who will have it. That is, in any niche there will always
[17:23] be premium views, but you can find niches like those same series that are not for an adult audience, but for those who are older, say, 20 years old, and the person can afford to buy premium will greatly increase. That is, your task is to make not
[17:39] just random videos, but also ones that will collect more premium views. And here we can count. Here he has 3,800 dollars for 30 million views. A total of 30 million views, of which 4 million are premium.
[17:53] This is a very good indicator. That is, this indicator is no worse than on the YouTube partner program. And this is with the condition that I don’t know which countries are watching here, because they pay here specifically for countries, just like on YouTube itself; on YouTube itself,
[18:06] monetization on shorts pays exclusively for countries. That is, the countries that watch it, the richer it is, the larger its GDP, the more successful it is, the more they will pay for it . This means that advertisers pay
[18:21] more for such people. Accordingly, YouTube also shares a large portion of the money with you. Okay, I hope we've sorted everything out regarding the affiliate program . Then, as for payments, I don’t know, here too, you
[18:34] figure out for yourself who gets what and where. You need to sign some document here. Write some random name, or not a random one, but your own. You'll need to go in and sign the document there. It's all easy to do, and you'll have access to
[18:47] payment methods. There are only three of them. Bank transfer, that is, a regular Swift transfer, exactly the same way you will receive prices. Payoner is such a payment system. And PayPal is also a payment system. That
[19:01] is, in my opinion, in Europe this is generally available almost by default. Every person can easily register this and receive money. I don't know how it is in other countries. Since I am from Ukraine, this
[19:13] method, that is, the method of receiving via bank transfer, is ideal for me. 3-5 days, $35 one-time fee. The more money you have, the cheaper the withdrawal will be. If the standard fee here is 5%, then here you pay a one-time fee and that’s all for the
[19:29] transfer itself. That is, when there are 10,000 dollars, it doesn’t matter if it’s 35 dollars and you send 35 dollars, you will receive zero, but you will pay a commission. I'm conditional. Most likely, there is some minimum amount to be paid out,
[19:41] but it will all be earned in the end, don’t worry. The main thing is not to stop and continue doing something. You can also come here and see what's here , what they write here, what guides there are. Then, if something else bothers you, never
[19:55] hesitate to google it. Type playast into Google search, type in Affiliate Program in English, like I know that. Look at the reviews, you'll find a bunch of interesting articles on Reddit where people share their successes, and
[20:12] uploading, nothing is working for me, or there I have a million views, and it only brought in a dollar." Why is that? And you will collect this kind of information and you will understand it. There a person is pouring India, here he is pouring only the USA, but
[20:25] he has no views, there is something else there. And in the end, this is how you will learn. That is, the simplest thing is to start looking for everything right away. Recently, a person wrote to me in a private message that he, I won’t speak in general terms, he wrote, and he
[20:38] said that he doesn’t understand at all the terminology that I tell him. And I promised that I would try to somehow emphasize each term, that is, explain what it means, because it seems to me that everyone should already know this
[20:52] , but in fact, I always forget that all the newbies have come and many of them don’t even know what rega is, yes, it’s shortened from registration. Therefore, I will try to either make some kind of note somewhere in text so that everyone
[21:06] understands everything. And again, if anyone suddenly didn't understand something, or understood it incorrectly, or understood it but doesn't know what to do next, please go to Telegram, to the chat, write, either I will answer you, or we already have a really cool community there
[21:22] . Well, most of them are newbies, but everyone is ready to help each other. I want to make a super non-toxic chat where everyone feels respected. This will be the very top. So please come in, write, ask, don’t be shy,
[21:37] please. Nobody will kick you for asking stupid questions. They'll laugh, but they'll answer. Let's put it this way. And if they don’t answer, I’ll definitely come and answer. I will see it all. I reread the entire chat .
[21:50] This is the easiest way to start making money on YouTube. You uploaded the video, made it for free, or You uploaded the video, made it for free, or took it from another source. So
[22:03] song. Even if you only get the first 1,000 views there, from those thousand views you'll get 1 cent here, but you should be seen. That means that at least some income has already started to come in. And that's it, after 2
[22:15] months, that is, 2 months pass, and you will be able to withdraw here. This is, in principle, standard. Even if we take YouTube monetization, they pay you on the
[22:27] twenty-first of the month for the previous month. That is, they will pay you for, for example, now in August you received for July, for the whole of July. And what was already working there in August until the twenty- first, it will all come
[22:40] next month. Ah, in my opinion, YouTube generally pays for music with a affiliate program itself and the distributors. I'll tell you everything now. He also pays them
[22:52] delay. Plus they are trying to protect themselves. What if you did something wrong there, violated something, your channel will be taken down or something else, or complaints will come in, so they can catch it in time and not throw you extra stuff
[23:07] that doesn’t belong to you. So, the second way is to make money from your music. What is your own music? Your own music is when you wrote a song yourself, either you bought it, or, I don’t know, a friend gave it to you or said:
[23:22] “Here, take it, use it.” Or you did it in Suno in the neuron. There are questions about this. That is, not everything can happen there, but a person has already had such an experience. He suggested that everything worked for him. That
[23:36] is, he made it into a sunotrek, his friend, who understands music, corrected it a little , and everything is fine. I took a different approach. I just went to the same, any freelance site, found a musician there, and said: “
[23:52] I have these technical specifications, I need such-and-such a song, write to me.” He says, "It costs $15 a minute there." I say: "Okay, I need a 3-minute track there." And that's all. So you made such a track. Next, you need to show this track to
[24:07] the world, as they say. So you need to release it so that it's clear that it's your song, so that everyone knows that it's your song. YouTube included. For this you need a distributor. You yourself cannot upload your song anywhere
[24:19] officially. That is, on Spotify, Apple Music, on YouTube, on Only distributors have the right to do this . And you need to find a distributor. I also recommend AMUS. It is not just this that
[24:34] I advise. There is not even a referral program here. That is, there is absolutely no point in me advising you of this. I won't get anything out of this. I did a big analysis, I spent probably a week on it . I signed up with every
[24:48] distributor I could find. I looked at who had what rates, what the cost was, how much it cost, how much it cost to upload a song, how many songs you can upload. Well, just take my word for it, right now this is the best option
[25:03] for our specific needs, that is, we need to get money from the highway; there's no one better than Ayuz right now. Why? Because in order for you to
[25:15] receive royalties from your song, that is, yes, money, you need to yes, money, you need to get a content ID through the distributor. Cont ID is a YouTube system that analyzes itself. That is, there is
[25:31] some kind of neural network, artificial intelligence that analyzes some video, and if it finds a match, then it understands that, aha, this song was used here. And, let's say, so that you could go in and, like here in the affiliate program, yes, add a
[25:46] here in the affiliate program, yes, add a song to the search like this, enter yours, that is, until you receive a content ID, you won't appear here. That is, without this content ID your song will not exist and you will not receive anything from it. You
[26:00] will receive it there - from Apple Music, if someone listens to you, from Spotify, from any other sources, but not from Shors. And since our goal is to receive money from shorts, we need this content ID. In other
[26:14] distributors, it’s either a fee for each song, or they take some percentage for themselves, or they don’t pay everything. In short, there are some conditions everywhere. I even found somewhere what seemed like great conditions, but it turns out that
[26:27] this condition is only for a year, and after a year you have to do something again. Even I'll tell you now, even if your subscription that allows you to upload your songs here runs out, even if it runs out, you
[26:43] will still receive the full amount of money that will come from the shors for your track. That is, this is probably the second advantage, why there are disadvantages here. The statistics you want to see are not here. That is, you
[26:57] you want to see are not here. That is, you will not see 2-day 2, for months, what is happening with you in general. That is, you will make shorts with your song, you will everything that YouTube shows you: you will see the number of
[27:10] views, the number of likes, the number of comments and the top three countries that are watching you. That's it, no income, no PM, you won't see anything else at all . After 2 months, 2 s2 approximately, that is, after 2 months they only
[27:25] show the money, but it still takes some time to put it all together. They simply transfer some amount of money into your wallet, and there you will see what you received the money for. There are YouTube music, Apple Music,
[27:39] Spotify, then it says YouTube Premium and YouTube Shorts. It's written right here, separately. then you will see how much money you managed to earn in just one month. So , just so you understand, I still have my
[27:54] , just so you understand, I still have my August, yes, the end of August. That is, it should be updated just in a few days , and you will show me your income for June . I'm
[28:09] hoping to see some better numbers there, because it started in May, and there were literally three days at the end of May when a couple of my Shors got pregnant. What is the advantage of your own song? Firstly, there is a chance that your
[28:25] song will somehow miraculously go viral and others will start using it. Or you could write the title of the song like this, for example, the song would be called Cool Music for Snow Weather, right? Well, like a good, cool song for
[28:42] snowy weather, let's say. I'm just giving you an example. And suddenly, when someone does exactly the same thing, they come here, add a song, and they need to find a song about some kind of snow, and they write snow like this, and here you will appear,
[28:56] perhaps in the list, and they use it, then you will also receive money from this. This means that for every use of your track in Shors, you will receive money automatically. All this money will come with the help of content ID. He
[29:11] determines whose song it is. He sees that it is Aga. Distributor such-and-such, author such-and-such. He throws money here to the distributor. The distributor gives you 100% of the money. The advantage of this affiliate program. Oh, ugh, affiliate program,
[29:26] distributor. The price is here, I don't remember what the price is. For me it's inexpensive. For you, perhaps, too. I think it's about 40 dollars or something like that per year or
[29:39] about 40 dollars or something like that per year or 50 euros. In general, up to $100 per year. And you just download as many tracks as you want. You create one author, one artist and just throw at least 100 tracks there. It doesn't
[29:53] matter, it will all be free. That is, you can upload 100 tracks, and name each track with a keyword that people might still search for here. make the Shors, people will simply use them. Well, these are wet fantasies,
[30:06] that's why it is like that. But this is also one of the advantages why it is worth making your own music. This is one. And secondly, you earn more from your own music. Why? Because a partner can't live on their word of honor. That is, there is no point in her
[30:20] creating this affiliate program, maintaining these statistics, making agreements there, or they themselves being a distributor so that all the statistics come to them, because Well, I need to show up here in 2 days . You will already see how much
[30:34] this short will bring you, how much it came from which country. That's what's cool about it. But they can't do this for free, right? They want to earn something for themselves. Accordingly, they take a certain percentage for themselves. I heard
[30:48] that they take about 30% for themselves. That is, they give you 70% and take 30% for themselves. That's a lot. Again, I'm saying that if we're fighting here for 1 cent of the RPN between
[31:00] affiliates, and here 30% is taken, each affiliate will take it. Not only that. You yourself will think, what is the point of an affiliate program creating such a service and not earning anything. That is, each affiliate network takes a certain amount, and they don’t say
[31:14] how much, but you can calculate it and try it later after 2-3 months, when you’re making money from your music and when you’re compare. But I'll tell you right away, I got
[31:27] more results on mine. This is what I have already achieved in the 3 days that I can see the statistics for May. There is already more money there than in the affiliate program, but not so much more that you have to rush off and create your own song. It's just
[31:40] more convenient when you work with an affiliate program, you're still working with someone and for someone. Why do you need it if you can work for yourself and not depend on anyone? All. Distributors are a very
[31:53] popular distributor. There are also a lot of reviews about him, both good and bad. And they are old, there are reviews. That is, there are 8 years of this company. There are a lot of labels with them . some cool people work there, artists work there, that is, there is no point in them
[32:06] cheating you at all, or, well, that is, I can’t vouch for them, but I just understand that such companies will never suffer from such nonsense. Moreover, you don’t have the same amounts, I think they work with some artists who
[32:18] release a track, they have a billion plays, they earn 15 million dollars, and then you come with your 1,000 dollars a month from one song. Well, conditionally, naturally, there is no point for them to do anything. That's why the
[32:31] coolest thing is to make your own music. And again, my own music, like the partner's music, is only exclusively for the sake of it. Now I have to repeat this five times, because, well, people don't understand, and I don't understand why, but they don't understand. Music is
[32:47] only for shorts. How do the shorts pay? YouTube itself wrote an article about how YouTube itself wrote an article about how it shares the money it earns in Shors. It takes the total number of views. For example,
[33:02] there were a billion views in July. So, yes, there were a billion July. So, yes, there were a billion views of the Shors. He looks at which countries, first of all, it was from. There were 200 million views in the US and $200,000 was earned from
[33:17] this. In India, it had 300 million views and earned $3,000. I am conditionally smaller, but not that much. that much. Then he takes it and divides it into two parts, I
[33:30] Then he takes it and divides it into two parts, I think 45% each. 45% it gives to the author of think 45% each. 45% it gives to the author of the video, that is, you, and 45% it gives to those videos that used music that contains the ID content. That
[33:45] is, if this is music that has a content ID and YouTube sees it, then it will also content ID and YouTube sees it, then it will also give 45% for this short and for the music. That is, he takes up to 90% of the total for himself . That is, from all
[33:58] . That is, from all earnings. And YouTube writes directly that regardless of whether you use music or not, you will still receive 45% as a content creator, that is, as a video creator
[34:12] . But if you used music, then another But if you used music, then another 45% will go to music. Many argue that if I didn’t add music, my PM would be higher. I checked, I
[34:26] uploaded with music, with an affiliate program, well, with my own, or rather, and without music. I had 22 there and there. This is my average RPM. YouTube tells me shorts 22 cents, whatever. But in one case I received exactly 22 cents, and in the
[34:42] second case I also received 20 cents from the music, or 19 cents RPM. That is, I increased my income. But this still needs to be thoroughly tested on a larger number of videos, because I actually uploaded some video. I hope it was just
[34:56] some YouTube glitch. My video was a million dollar hit, and they're giving me a PM of 1 price, considering that 55% of the US audience watches me. And there was music there, but in the musical part everything was fine with RPM. That is, perhaps
[35:10] it was a glitch, or perhaps in reality, if there are more than a million views, then for some reason it gets cut off. But most likely not. These are two separate pools. Here he is, making a billion dollars from a billion views. He takes 10,100 million for
[35:24] himself, gives 450 million to the video creators, and gives 450 million to the music creators. If there were any, depending on the number of views. That's it, I think that's all I have for depending on the number of views. That's it, I think that's all I have for today.
[35:43] music. And if I do, it will probably be more specific, because I think I tried to tell everything in the affiliate program. Oh, ugh, in the affiliate program, in the distributor, to register, and just go there from your Google.
[35:57] your own name, using your own data. There are some , but if you do, then, naturally, it’s better to have everything in your name, because you will later there won’t be any problems that you registered it to Vasya Pupkin, but
[36:12] want to transfer it to some wife. And to prevent this from happening, it’s better . This is a completely legal and legitimate thing. Well, all make money from music do it this way, that's the only way they work. They
[36:27] release their tracks through distributors, the world sees them and that's it , and they get money for every listen . That's it , I think I've told you everything. I hope it's clearer this time. If you have any questions, please write in the
[36:41] chat. No need to spam in private messages. I will not show my personal messages anywhere anymore and I ask others not to show my personal messages, because it is very difficult. It's very difficult when 10 people write to you within an hour. Half of them have the same
[36:55] question. I just can't physically take it out. When you write in the say: "Ask there, I will answer you there ." There is nothing to hide. The question is worth being seen by others so that they do n’t repeat it later. My
[37:09] goal is to help you all for free, absolutely. I don't need anything from you in return . I need something from you in return. Leave a comment, like, and subscribe. This will be the most helpful thing you can do for me. I am
[37:21] pleased and you are happy. All. No affiliate programs, no private oifu, nothing like that will happen. I'm repeating this again and I want to emphasize it right now . I will never sell any privates. I'm anti-privacy. This
[37:36] will be a new concept. I don’t know if such a concept already exists or not, but I proclaim myself an anti-privatist. I want to get people to stop selling things that can be gotten for
[37:49] free. I don't see any sense in this . So why do people still fall for the idea that private chats will give them something they can't find themselves? Or even from the same person, after watching a few videos, but
[38:03] thinking a little, they can put it all together and get it absolutely free. That is, there is no such thing as private messages giving out anything that you can’t just go in and find yourself right now.
[38:17] So, maybe people just like to pay money to someone, to give it away, and it makes their work more peaceful. They will think that they are super important now. In general, I am anti-privatist. And that's all. Bye everyone. Thank you all. U
