Paid per 1,000 verified views
YouTube Shorts clipping campaigns
Brands fund a pool and set a rate per 1,000 views. You post the Short on your own channel, paste the link, and earn on every verified view until the pool is spent.
Shorts are the one platform here where the figure comes straight from the platform's own API rather than a third party reading the page.

RegisterHow YouTube Shorts views are verified
Read from the post. Never typed in.
Views are read from YouTube's Data API, the same number YouTube prints under the video, roughly every 2 hours for as long as the campaign has money left in its pool. youtu.be, /shorts/ and /watch links all resolve.
The video has to stay public. A private or removed video cannot be read, so it stops earning at that point.
The channel is matched against the page you verified.
Verifying your YouTube Shorts page
Add your channel under Pages as youtube.com/@yourhandle, put the claim code where your channel shows its description, and press Verify.
How it pays
Post, paste, get paid per view.
Post it, then paste the link
Nothing can be counted until we have the link, because the link is what the view count is read from.
Views are counted continuously
Once a post is approved its live view count is read roughly every 2 hours, and you earn on every new view since the last check. No cutoff: a post keeps earning as long as the pool has money in it.
You earn the campaign's rate for every 1,000 verified views
Counted from the view number on your own post, which is why it has to stay public. Hidden counts cannot be verified, and what cannot be verified cannot be paid.
Money clears a 7 day hold, then goes on your next statement
Earnings show on your dashboard as they accrue and clear 7 days later. Statements are raised on the 1st and the 15th for everything cleared, from $25, and paid to your PayPal or Payoneer between the 1st and the 10th, or the 15th and the 25th.
Questions about YouTube Shorts
- Do long-form videos count?
- Only where a campaign lists YouTube long-form among its platforms. Most campaigns here run on Shorts. The campaign page lists exactly which platforms it accepts.
- Does YouTube's view count lag?
- YouTube updates its public count on its own schedule, and the sweep reads whatever it shows. Nothing is lost: each read pays the difference since the last one.
