SIMPLE GUIDE: HOW TO PRINT THOUSANDS A MONTH WITH YOUTUBE SHORTS (30k in 28 days)

[dietSoda]

do hashtags even matter? And another thing i saw is some bs posting times like at morning or something, do those type things actually matter or nah?

Based on my experiences on youtube, hashtags are bs but the upload schedules really does matter. You can't just upload all the video at once, try to have atleast 12 hour gap between any videos so youtube didn't think you're a bot.

Also if you make a brand new youtube account, try to spent some time scrolling & watching on that account too, youtube really be thinking you're a bot at first.

 

[Androgynous]

Is there a specific time you should upload?

 

[spiker]

Is there a specific time you should upload?

i have noticed time of day does not matter, I could post a video at 1am then randomly a day later it blows up at 5pm. I think hashtags in the title can have an effect but desc seems to not matter.

Welcome to my guide on how to make money in the easiest way through YouTube Shorts in 2026.



The most important thing to remember is the niche is the commodity and believe it or not there are still a decent amount of unsaturated niches in YouTube shorts even in 2025/26.

How to find a niche:
Hands down the easiest way is to search TikTok/Instagram/Reddit and straight up rip a few channels. Most of us are already addicted to scrolling anyways so might as well passively find content to repost.

You can also take a look at all of these other popular randoms printing thousands and thousands a month just stealing content:
https://www.youtube.com/@RoganShorts/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@DrDonutTwo/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@Wenkercommenter/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@KenClipsEdit/shorts

Obviously these are super saturated but it's just to give an example of what you want to do. I will not go into the editing bit because sometimes you can straight up just download and reupload, otherwise it should not be rocket science to port landscape into portrait or just shorten videos.

Copyright issues:
ALWAYS make videos 59 seconds or less, this will bypass automatic demonetization/warning because of a YouTube Shorts policy:

This is what a short under 1:00 looks like when it has copyrighted material, this does not mean it's impossible to get a strike, but if it's not a specific kind of content there's a 99% chance you will be completely fine. (especially music, that will never be the problem) as long as you are sub 60 seconds. Almost every short will have this since you likely have non royalty free music, it's nothing to worry about.

Also videos over a minute tend to get no retention due to the average YouTube short's user's attention span being fried, so this is a two birds with one stone solution.

Another important thing is don’t panic when a video is "partially blocked”
View attachment 4577515
This is what it will look like, make sure to check which territories the short is banned in.
View attachment 4577517
9 times out of 10 it's only blocked in Russia, which is not important so just pretend like it's not there.

Main reasons for strikes/warnings:
Community guidelines, YouTube is pretty strict when it comes to their guidelines. I wouldn't post anything that can be thought of as sexual as that is how I got my only warning. Also racism is very bad, don't put the N word at all even if its not the hard R, wouldn’t risk. Any racism at all is not worth it.
I got one strike (which I will go into in a bit), from a photographer. I clipped one of their photoshoots. Try not to rip things that are already going to be posted onto YouTube/exist on YouTube by semi successful creators who might have the tools to strike you. Kind of needs to be a play by play decision but in general common sense is king (I was just retarded).

Automation:
Believe it or not the most annoying thing FOR ME ended up being scheduling videos, uploading them is pretty annoying and time consuming and setting everything takes time. It is 100% free with python and the YouTube API V3. It is extremely easy to set up so I will just link how to do it (you can also just ask ChatGPT, that's how I learned and it took me less than an hour to get it full running.)

How to setup YouTube V3 API and Python script:


YOU CAN ALSO ASK CHATGPT FOR YOUR OWN CUSTOM SCRIPT IF YOU WANT A GUI OR OTHER FUNCTIONALITY.

Google (YouTube V3) API:
https://console.cloud.google.com/

Keep in mind if you are so bad at tech that you cant get this to work, just upload manually its not that big of a deal.

How much should you post:
You shouldn't be posting a lot especially when you are starting out because YouTube only allocates a certain amount of views to your content as they are testing it. An influx of videos all at once will eat each others testing period and never let enough people see it for it to go GIGA VIRAL. Try to post like 2-3 times a day at first and if you see fit make changes, max once every few hours I really wouldn't overdo it.

Tagging videos:
From my experience, tagging video is not that important but it can't hurt to do it.

REPOSTING FLOPS:
One very interesting thing I noticed when I accidently reposted the same IDENTICAL video twice, one video got 14 million views while the other only got 4k. If you have a video you really believe in, no harm in trying to reupload it as it may randomly gain traction.

Helps but not necessary:
When starting this process getting monetized is the hardest part, if you already have a dead old channel with monetization use that. Obviously most people don’t have that but I would highly recommend using a channel YOU USE (watching, liking, commenting, linked to an older email) YouTube likes to push videos/shorts in general with a “trusted” channel so they know you’re not a bot. Once again, not necessary but will give you a better chance.

Mistakes I made/Warnings:
As stated before I got a warning and a strike on my channel. The warning theoretically shouldn't affect anything but I'm not sure. My reach for sure dropped after I got my strike thought, I dropped to only around 5k a month, so it kind of kills your reach. Additionally it's super unpredictable and highly luck so who even knows. Just don’t be scared to get striked, it's pretty rare. I'm just dumb/unlucky/fog of the future.

Final advice:
No harm in trying multiple channels at once.
Retention and hook is king, shorten videos if people aren't watching the entire thing.
I would stay away from Ai generated videos, commenters hate it and YouTube doesn't seem to push it.
Don’t quit, it's a marathon not a sprint.
If something isn't working for a long time, no harm in switching niches.
The best time to start was 4 years ago but the second best time is today. (yes I mean today go post a video RIGHT NOW)
Good luck



Now I'm 19 years old with 50k (before taxes) rotting in my bank account… Might get a Canthoplasty, if I do I will post the results on this account too.

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer, just don’t be a moron and ask for a niche to try (THATS YOUR ONLY JOB).​

bookmarked
one question tho
where do people get their clips from tv shows cus i doubt theyre actually watching and waiting for good moments to screen record

 

[spiker]

but how do i download videos from people like joe rogan shorts?

joe rogan shorts are already on youtube, you're going to want to find a different niche, but if you dont wanna do the python script for ease, use this link you can lazily download videos to reupload: https://ssstik.io/en-1

nono i somehow made an vs code that made me just insert any youtube or tiktok link to download the video with sound. so joe rogan is not a good idea?? so youre saying i should find something that is low in likes and views?

 

[Realise07]

not knowing how to download vids on all platforms put you behind %89 of hustlers

i alr found out brah im 14 sorry that i didnt start at 7

 

[midgarmaxxer]

how do you go about downloading shows, i.e. from netflix

 

[Realise07]

ALWAYS make videos 59 seconds or less, this will bypass automatic demonetization/warning because of a YouTube Shorts policy:

But what if we just tag the original poster in the comments?

 

[spiker]

how do you go about downloading shows, i.e. from netflix

if you have a clip in mind its probably in long form on youtube, you can then download it and make it portrait for shorts.

 

[spiker]

But what if we just tag the original poster in the comments?

i mean it just most likely wont get any views

Obviously these are super saturated but it's just to give an example of what you want to do. I will not go into the editing bit because sometimes you can straight up just download and reupload, otherwise it should not be rocket science to port landscape into portrait or just shorten videos.

Copyright issues:
ALWAYS make videos 59 seconds or less, this will bypass automatic demonetization/warning because of a YouTube Shorts policy:

This is what a short under 1:00 looks like when it has copyrighted material, this does not mean it's impossible to get a strike, but if it's not a specific kind of content there's a 99% chance you will be completely fine. (especially music, that will never be the problem) as long as you are sub 60 seconds. Almost every short will have this since you likely have non royalty free music, it's nothing to worry about.

Also videos over a minute tend to get no retention due to the average YouTube short's user's attention span being fried, so this is a two birds with one stone solution.

Another important thing is don’t panic when a video is "partially blocked”
View attachment 4577515
This is what it will look like, make sure to check which territories the short is banned in.
View attachment 4577517
9 times out of 10 it's only blocked in Russia, which is not important so just pretend like it's not there.

Main reasons for strikes/warnings:
Community guidelines, YouTube is pretty strict when it comes to their guidelines. I wouldn't post anything that can be thought of as sexual as that is how I got my only warning. Also racism is very bad, don't put the N word at all even if its not the hard R, wouldn’t risk. Any racism at all is not worth it.
I got one strike (which I will go into in a bit), from a photographer. I clipped one of their photoshoots. Try not to rip things that are already going to be posted onto YouTube/exist on YouTube by semi successful creators who might have the tools to strike you. Kind of needs to be a play by play decision but in general common sense is king (I was just retarded).

Automation:
Believe it or not the most annoying thing FOR ME ended up being scheduling videos, uploading them is pretty annoying and time consuming and setting everything takes time. It is 100% free with python and the YouTube API V3. It is extremely easy to set up so I will just link how to do it (you can also just ask ChatGPT, that's how I learned and it took me less than an hour to get it full running.)

How to setup YouTube V3 API and Python script:


YOU CAN ALSO ASK CHATGPT FOR YOUR OWN CUSTOM SCRIPT IF YOU WANT A GUI OR OTHER FUNCTIONALITY.

Google (YouTube V3) API:
https://console.cloud.google.com/

Keep in mind if you are so bad at tech that you cant get this to work, just upload manually its not that big of a deal.

How much should you post:
You shouldn't be posting a lot especially when you are starting out because YouTube only allocates a certain amount of views to your content as they are testing it. An influx of videos all at once will eat each others testing period and never let enough people see it for it to go GIGA VIRAL. Try to post like 2-3 times a day at first and if you see fit make changes, max once every few hours I really wouldn't overdo it.

Tagging videos:
From my experience, tagging video is not that important but it can't hurt to do it.

REPOSTING FLOPS:
One very interesting thing I noticed when I accidently reposted the same IDENTICAL video twice, one video got 14 million views while the other only got 4k. If you have a video you really believe in, no harm in trying to reupload it as it may randomly gain traction.

Helps but not necessary:
When starting this process getting monetized is the hardest part, if you already have a dead old channel with monetization use that. Obviously most people don’t have that but I would highly recommend using a channel YOU USE (watching, liking, commenting, linked to an older email) YouTube likes to push videos/shorts in general with a “trusted” channel so they know you’re not a bot. Once again, not necessary but will give you a better chance.

Mistakes I made/Warnings:
As stated before I got a warning and a strike on my channel. The warning theoretically shouldn't affect anything but I'm not sure. My reach for sure dropped after I got my strike thought, I dropped to only around 5k a month, so it kind of kills your reach. Additionally it's super unpredictable and highly luck so who even knows. Just don’t be scared to get striked, it's pretty rare. I'm just dumb/unlucky/fog of the future.

Final advice:
No harm in trying multiple channels at once.
Retention and hook is king, shorten videos if people aren't watching the entire thing.
I would stay away from Ai generated videos, commenters hate it and YouTube doesn't seem to push it.
Don’t quit, it's a marathon not a sprint.
If something isn't working for a long time, no harm in switching niches.
The best time to start was 4 years ago but the second best time is today. (yes I mean today go post a video RIGHT NOW)
Good luck



Now I'm 19 years old with 50k (before taxes) rotting in my bank account… Might get a Canthoplasty, if I do I will post the results on this account too.

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer, just don’t be a moron and ask for a niche to try (THATS YOUR ONLY JOB).​

ive made a yt shorts account and i was wondering how many views per video for how long means that the niche aint working?
ive posted two vids so far and the first one got 3k views in one day but idk

Welcome to my guide on how to make money in the easiest way through YouTube Shorts in 2026.

I’ll teach you the objectively best way to spend your time, and I’ll show PROOF (screenshots) of my studio.

Important warning: there is obviously a big luck factor in social media so DON’T put all your eggs in one basket with this one, should only spend max 1-2 hours a day on this and don’t just expect to instantly make 10k a month.

I made 30k in the span of 28 days through my niche as seen below:

View attachment 4577516

The most important thing to remember is the niche is the commodity and believe it or not there are still a decent amount of unsaturated niches in YouTube shorts even in 2025/26.

How to find a niche:
Hands down the easiest way is to search TikTok/Instagram/Reddit and straight up rip a few channels. Most of us are already addicted to scrolling anyways so might as well passively find content to repost.

You can also take a look at all of these other popular randoms printing thousands and thousands a month just stealing content:

My reach for sure dropped after I got my strike thought, I dropped to only around 5k a month, so it kind of kills your reach. Additionally it's super unpredictable and highly luck so who even knows. Just don’t be scared to get striked, it's pretty rare. I'm just dumb/unlucky/fog of the future.

Final advice:
No harm in trying multiple channels at once.
Retention and hook is king, shorten videos if people aren't watching the entire thing.
I would stay away from Ai generated videos, commenters hate it and YouTube doesn't seem to push it.
Don’t quit, it's a marathon not a sprint.
If something isn't working for a long time, no harm in switching niches.
The best time to start was 4 years ago but the second best time is today. (yes I mean today go post a video RIGHT NOW)
Good luck



Now I'm 19 years old with 50k (before taxes) rotting in my bank account… Might get a Canthoplasty, if I do I will post the results on this account too.

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer, just don’t be a moron and ask for a niche to try (THATS YOUR ONLY JOB).​

cool

 

[killawhale]

How do you select videos to rip off tiktok and insta, is it ok to rip already viral videos (several 100k/ over 1m views) and post these or do you look for less viral clips abd hope they blow up bigger on yt (cos Im assuming the more viral ones have bigger chance of being taken down etc)
Thoughts?

Oh yeah also what kind of view count should you be getting in the first week with a niche/setup thats successful (or it mostly reliant on random videos among the ones you post going viral and getting the bulk of views)
Thanks brah I have 2 niche ideas for channels and started posting already just curious about these details

Welcome to my guide on how to make money in the easiest way through YouTube Shorts in 2026.

I’ll teach you the objectively best way to spend your time, and I’ll show PROOF (screenshots) of my studio.

Important warning: there is obviously a big luck factor in social media so DON’T put all your eggs in one basket with this one, should only spend max 1-2 hours a day on this and don’t just expect to instantly make 10k a month.

I made 30k in the span of 28 days through my niche as seen below:

View attachment 4577516

The most important thing to remember is the niche is the commodity and believe it or not there are still a decent amount of unsaturated niches in YouTube shorts even in 2025/26.

How to find a niche:
Hands down the easiest way is to search TikTok/Instagram/Reddit and straight up rip a few channels. Most of us are already addicted to scrolling anyways so might as well passively find content to repost.

You can also take a look at all of these other popular randoms printing thousands and thousands a month just stealing content:
https://www.youtube.com/@RoganShorts/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@DrDonutTwo/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@Wenkercommenter/shorts
https://www.youtube.com/@KenClipsEdit/shorts

Obviously these are super saturated but it's just to give an example of what you want to do. I will not go into the editing bit because sometimes you can straight up just download and reupload, otherwise it should not be rocket science to port landscape into portrait or just shorten videos.

Copyright issues:
ALWAYS make videos 59 seconds or less, this will bypass automatic demonetization/warning because of a YouTube Shorts policy:

View attachment 4577514

This is what a short under 1:00 looks like when it has copyrighted material, this does not mean it's impossible to get a strike, but if it's not a specific kind of content there's a 99% chance you will be completely fine. (especially music, that will never be the problem) as long as you are sub 60 seconds. Almost every short will have this since you likely have non royalty free music, it's nothing to worry about.

Also videos over a minute tend to get no retention due to the average YouTube short's user's attention span being fried, so this is a two birds with one stone solution.

Another important thing is don’t panic when a video is "partially blocked”
View attachment 4577515
This is what it will look like, make sure to check which territories the short is banned in.
View attachment 4577517
9 times out of 10 it's only blocked in Russia, which is not important so just pretend like it's not there.

Main reasons for strikes/warnings:
Community guidelines, YouTube is pretty strict when it comes to their guidelines. I wouldn't post anything that can be thought of as sexual as that is how I got my only warning. Also racism is very bad, don't put the N word at all even if its not the hard R, wouldn’t risk. Any racism at all is not worth it.
I got one strike (which I will go into in a bit), from a photographer. I clipped one of their photoshoots. Try not to rip things that are already going to be posted onto YouTube/exist on YouTube by semi successful creators who might have the tools to strike you. Kind of needs to be a play by play decision but in general common sense is king (I was just retarded).

Automation:
Believe it or not the most annoying thing FOR ME ended up being scheduling videos, uploading them is pretty annoying and time consuming and setting everything takes time. It is 100% free with python and the YouTube API V3. It is extremely easy to set up so I will just link how to do it (you can also just ask ChatGPT, that's how I learned and it took me less than an hour to get it full running.)

How to setup YouTube V3 API and Python script:


YOU CAN ALSO ASK CHATGPT FOR YOUR OWN CUSTOM SCRIPT IF YOU WANT A GUI OR OTHER FUNCTIONALITY.

Google (YouTube V3) API:
https://console.cloud.google.com/

Keep in mind if you are so bad at tech that you cant get this to work, just upload manually its not that big of a deal.

How much should you post:
You shouldn't be posting a lot especially when you are starting out because YouTube only allocates a certain amount of views to your content as they are testing it. An influx of videos all at once will eat each others testing period and never let enough people see it for it to go GIGA VIRAL. Try to post like 2-3 times a day at first and if you see fit make changes, max once every few hours I really wouldn't overdo it.

Tagging videos:
From my experience, tagging video is not that important but it can't hurt to do it.

REPOSTING FLOPS:
One very interesting thing I noticed when I accidently reposted the same IDENTICAL video twice, one video got 14 million views while the other only got 4k. If you have a video you really believe in, no harm in trying to reupload it as it may randomly gain traction.

Helps but not necessary:
When starting this process getting monetized is the hardest part, if you already have a dead old channel with monetization use that. Obviously most people don’t have that but I would highly recommend using a channel YOU USE (watching, liking, commenting, linked to an older email) YouTube likes to push videos/shorts in general with a “trusted” channel so they know you’re not a bot. Once again, not necessary but will give you a better chance.

Mistakes I made/Warnings:
As stated before I got a warning and a strike on my channel. The warning theoretically shouldn't affect anything but I'm not sure. My reach for sure dropped after I got my strike thought, I dropped to only around 5k a month, so it kind of kills your reach. Additionally it's super unpredictable and highly luck so who even knows.

yea im cryin, should i try to make a clips from another youtubers video? i got the copyright jfl

 

[Zygomaticos]

i have noticed time of day does not matter, I could post a video at 1am then randomly a day later it blows up at 5pm. I think hashtags in the title can have an effect but desc seems to not matter.

Don´t you need 4,000 hours in long form videos + 1.000 subscribers to get monetized?

[kranerman23123]

Don´t you need 4,000 hours in long form videos + 1.000 subscribers to get monetized?

They halved it

 

[Zygomaticos]

They halved it

From a quick search:
Key Monetization Requirements (2026):​

• 1,000 subscribers
• Either:
  • 10 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days, or
  • 4,000 public watch hours from long-form videos in the past 12 months

 

[Zygomaticos]

If you are super lucky maybe you can get the 10million within 180 days, since it will be reset on the 90th day

 

[minnesotabro]

Read bro, I said your ONLY JOB is to find a good niche don't ask for one. As I said I'm not making original content I'm clipping various other content on various platforms and porting to YouTube Shorts. (The idea of good quality content should be removed from your brain, getting views is the only motive and trash slop often turns out to be the best avenue of profit, even in other business like food and movies/tv)

Isn't this immoral af

i post on yt shorts (with tiktok their monetisation is annoying but do able so i post as well on tiktok but i have better results on yt so far)
i cant say the niche but what i can say is just go scroll on tiktok and yt shorts, find whats a lil popular on tiktok but non existent on yt shorts and there you have your niche.
I dont steal videos and i make my own subtitles. It would realistically take you less than 30 mins to make two videos a day
