Do YouTube Shorts count toward monetization watch hours?

No, but Shorts drive viewers to long-form videos that do count. Shorts are a tool to grow your channel faster.

How often should I post Shorts?

Post 1-2 daily for maximum algorithm exposure. Batch-create them on Sundays to streamline production.

What's the ideal Short length for relationship content?

30-45 seconds performs best. Keep hooks punchy and information dense.

Can I earn money directly from Shorts?

Yes, via YouTube's Shorts fund, but earnings are low. Focus Shorts on driving traffic to monetized long-form videos.

Should I post the same Short multiple times?

No, post fresh content daily. The algorithm favors varied content over repetition.
