How To Earn Money Online Using YouTube Shorts and Affiliate Marketing

I have done a small YouTube Shorts Challenge video, where I am trying to earn money in a few days by uploading only 1 YouTube Shorts video

What Are YouTube Shorts and are YouTube Shorts worth it?

YouTube: the most popular video sharing site in the world with over 2 billion visitors a month. More than two billion people have viewed one of the more than 1.5 billion videos uploaded to YouTube each month. Users can upload videos to the site and the site then automatically organizes these videos by categories.


YouTube shorts are short videos uploaded to the popular video sharing site, YouTube. They are often humorous or creative. Unlike other types of video such as news, documentary or educational, the focus of youtube shorts is often on some form of humor ranging from the silly to the satirical. Because of the short length of these videos, it is often the case that youtube shorts are produced for advertising purposes.

The Conclusion (spoiler alert):

This YouTube Shorts challenge proved that only one short video can not explode over night and made you thousands of dollars. The key to success is to stay consistent.
