Growth and monetisation

Questions about YouTube rather than about Leaxor. Answered on their own terms.

• Why are my YouTube Shorts getting no views?

  Almost always retention, not reach. The Shorts feed shows a video to a small group first and expands only if enough of them watch it through.

• How many Shorts should I post a day?

  One a day is the level where most channels see compounding. Below roughly three a week, the feed doesn't build a picture of what your channel is.

• What are the YouTube Shorts monetisation requirements?

  Two routes into the Partner Programme, and Shorts creators usually take the second.

• What counts as reused content on YouTube?

  Content taken from elsewhere and republished without meaningful original contribution. The test is transformation, not source.

• Do you have to disclose AI content on YouTube?

  Only for content that could be mistaken for real. YouTube requires disclosure when synthetic media realistically depicts a real person, event or place.

• What is the best time to post YouTube Shorts?

  It matters much less than the volume of advice about it suggests.

• What is RPM on YouTube?

  Revenue per mille — what you actually receive per thousand views, after YouTube's share.

• Do AI videos get demonetised on YouTube?

  Not for being AI-generated. YouTube's monetisation rules turn on originality and viewer value, not on the tools used to produce a video.

• How do you make money with AI videos?

  Four routes, and ad revenue is the slowest of them despite being the one everyone starts with.

• Are AI videos allowed on TikTok?

  Yes. TikTok permits AI-generated content and requires it to be labelled when it is realistic.
