In this post, we’re going to give you some tips on how you can get started right away so you can just hit the ground running.

We know that many of you are still skeptical about YouTube Shorts, so let’s just look at the facts:

#1 YouTube is going all in on Shorts. They recently announced expanded monetization options, new features, profit sharing for creators, and a massive music library.
