I'm doing YouTube Shorts but analyze: can Shorts actually make money? Map Shorts monetization: CPM rates, views needed, revenue vs. regular videos. Calculate: Shorts CPM vs. regular video CPM, which is better income? Show me the Shorts reality: lower CPM than regular videos, need more views. Give me the Shorts strategy: use Shorts for growth, monetize other ways. Include: whether Shorts pay well, how Shorts compare to regular videos, and if Shorts are traffic source not income source.
