Youtube Shorts is now introducing TikTok-like monetization tools

YouTube is testing with new revenue streams for the service after announcing earlier this year that it would split ad money with Shorts creators. According to The Financial Times, the site intends to provide Shorts users the ability to shop directly for things promoted by influencers through links in videos, similar to TikTok’s purchasing functionality.

YouTube intends to launch two distinct programmes beginning in 2023. The first is an affiliate marketing system that rewards chosen US-based entrepreneurs who promote products with a commission. Users in the US, India, Brazil, Canada, and Australia would also be able to use links to shop through Shorts. All of that is in addition to the previously mentioned system, which gives creators a 45 percent share of ad revenue beginning early. According to YouTube Shopping’s GM Michael Martin, “It is very much an endorsement approach, as opposed to a more typical advertising model or a paid-placement one.” “Our objective is to concentrate on the greatest market-based monetization alternatives for creators.”

The 1.5 billion monthly users of YouTube’s Shorts channel have now surpassed the 1 billion subscribers of TikTok. Despite this achievement, Alphabet disclosed in its most recent earnings report that revenue from YouTube ad sales was lower than anticipated. As a result, TikTok and Meta are already using new revenue streams that YouTube is experimenting with. YouTube aims to concentrate its direct shopping initiatives in places where they have been successful, such as South Korea, because the endorsement strategy hasn’t been as successful in the US as it has been in other nations.
