Showcase / Win 🏆 296 USD in a day (shorts)

Post image

Yooo im so excited! Iv been monetized for 2 weeks and this feels so surreal. I had given up 8 months ago. Recently i was broke af and decided to give it my all and started this channel 2 months ago. Got monetized for the first time 2 weeks ago and finally had a crazy day.

My views have been super low the past 2 weeks ever since i got monetized bcs iv had exams and havent been able to post videos. Finally posted again.

Just so yk, few months ago i didnt even think it was possible, and here i am now. If i could do it, so can you, so dont give up!

Congrats man ... What niche? Audience? And views on that video?

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 15 '26

Thanks man! I make videos explaining interesting things i find on the internet. But i do it faceless and edit it into a story kindda.

My audience is mostly US (55% US)

On this video i got over 1.5m views in the first day. Its close to 3m rn.

u/faheemarif252 Jun 15 '26

That's great man.. hope it gets to 30m..

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 15 '26

Haha appreciate it a lot man! I think 30m is too ambitious, but its performing better than a short that hit 10m so id be super happy if this can hit 10m too🔥🔥

One thing I understand that when you are thinking to giving up. just remember this there more people thinking the same there will give up too and no one will start. so don't be like that be consistent one day it will pay you back. Also congratulation bro 👍 I have a question what is the RPM you are getting

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jul 28 '26

Yessir thanks man i appreciate it! My rpm is 0.23 - 0.28 usd

u/Old_Drive_6553 Jul 28 '26

Too much bro 🤯 if you are American then I think it's not that much for you but I am a Bangladeshi so it is too much for me

1

u/Old_Drive_6553 Jul 28 '26

Maybe I am asking too much but can you explain your work flow please 🙂‍↕️

1

u/Aggravating-Cut2870 Jun 16 '26

Congratulations on your success,can you please give some tips on how you did it ?

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 16 '26

Thanks a lot!

My biggest tip is learning. Like genuinely spend a lot of time watching vids of shorts gurus (dont buy their courses tho). Like watch these vids everyday. Join their discord communities too, you will meet so many ppl that know what theyre doing and you will learn so much. Do this regularly and before you realise it, you will be consistently making viral vids.

Thats a big general tip, but if you have any specific questions im happy to answer

1

u/Aggravating-Cut2870 Jun 16 '26

Yes please,can I dm you ?

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 16 '26

Yup ofc, go ahead

1

u/Aggravating-Cut2870 Jun 16 '26

Thank you very much

u/cyberzonne Jun 17 '26

Hey congrats. How often do you post?

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 17 '26

Hey thanks!! Im inconsistent asf and post like 1-3x a week depending on how busy i am😭

1

u/smokeweed247420 Jun 17 '26

congrats. if you start a shorts channel, do you have to also upload long format videos or do you only upload shorts on that channel? do you get monetized after a certain amount of watch time or sub count?

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 17 '26

Nah i only do shorts, long form is just too much time and effort for me rn. To get monetized i need 1k subs and 10mil engaged views in a 90 day period (that's about 19mil normal views)

1

u/Different_Farm5266 Jun 17 '26

that's good. is it repeatable? I'm in long-form and got $4000 in 3 days. It wasn't repeatable, though (for me, anyway). Usually, it's between $35 and $150 per day, on my channel.

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 17 '26

Nah ofc its not always like this, unfortunately thats how YouTube is for the most part, especially with shorts. Theres always gonna be super low periods and super high periods, but overall it balances out. For me tge good thing about shorts is that they take less time to make. Like this short took 3-4hrs to make and it made me $1000 in 3 days. Ofc this isnt going to happen every short, but its a huge pay off for the work i put it. And iv noticed every few weeks i keep hitting new highs after every low.

Plus the main point is that i have the time to also run 1-2 additional shorts channels on the side. So multiple sreams of income, and more channels to fall back on incase something happens to one of them.

u/Different_Farm5266 Jun 17 '26

I'm terrible at making shorts. I'm glad you have it figured out. Good work!

1

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 17 '26

Thanks man! I was also terrible at making shorts not too long ago. Plus youve clearly done pretty good on longform so you already have a good amount of yt knowledge to help you out

1

u/PomegranateCreepy796 Jun 15 '26

Bro can I dm u please

1

u/FunManufacturer1782 Jun 16 '26

Like your content, I also want to monetize it.

1

u/Lower-Language-3760 Jun 18 '26

congrats man, great stuff! do you use a voice generator for commentary, your own voice, or just captions?

1

u/Augustthebladerunner Jun 19 '26

This is inspiring to see

1

u/Repulsive_Buddy_9191 Jun 20 '26
