Did you know, short video monetization?
Probably something like:
- “High traffic, but low ad revenue.”
- “Short videos don’t pay enough.”
- “Even 1 million views barely buys you a cup of coffee.”
And you’re right — if you rely on ad revenue, you’re playing a losing game. You could work until 3 a.m., upload daily, burn out your creativity… And what do you get?
But the problem is not the platforms. The problem is that you’ve misunderstood the monetization map of short videos.
Today, I’m going to show you the earnings from my own channel — and more importantly, the exact strategy behind them.
With one short video and one long video, I generated:
- $2,405 paid in commissions
- $3,012 pending commissions
Totaling $5,400 in residual income — and still growing every day.
All without showing my face.
All without depending on ad revenue.
All using one simple system you can copy today.
Stop Chasing One-Time Income. Build a Residual System Instead.
Most creators are stuck in the “one and done” trap.
Sell a product → earn once → back to zero next month.
That’s not a business.
That’s a treadmill.
I don’t want treadmill money. I want fountain money — earnings that flow automatically.
The Magic of a 30% Recurring Commission
The product I promoted was AutoShorts — an AI tool that helps creators make faceless videos.
- Pricing: from $19/month
- Affiliate: 30% recurring forever
That means:
If a user keeps their subscription…
I get paid every single month, automatically.
This is where everything changed for me.
I’m not selling eggs.
I’m building the chicken farm.
If you have 100 users paying monthly… You’re getting recurring checks even if you stop posting videos for an entire month. That’s not passive income theory. That’s actual cash flow.
Why I Promote “Faceless” Tools Only
AutoShorts solves that pain point:
- AI narration
- Auto subtitles
- Auto scene creation
- Complete faceless workflow
- Perfect for global audiences
This is why it converts like crazy — because it solves a universal creator fear.
All I do is:
- Show the problem
- Show the tool
- Show how easy it is
- Insert my affiliate link.
The Short Video Traffic Hack (99% of Creators Miss This)
People love to complain: “How can I earn money if short videos don’t allow clickable links?” You don’t rely on clickable links. You print the link on the video itself.
My “Printed Link Strategy” (This Tripled My Conversions)
A. In the short video description
I placed the link to the long video.
B. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY…
I embedded my shortened link directly on the video screen. This is the trick that changed everything.
My results:
- Short video: 337,000 views
- Long video: 21,000 views
- Affiliate conversions: almost all came from the shorts
Everyone else waits for the platform to allow clickable links. I simply placed the link where the eyeball is. That’s what smart creators do — they don’t wait for permission.
Why I Use
Because winners rely on data.
Rebrandly lets me track:
- total clicks
- click sources
- geography data
- device data
This lets me refine and scale what works.
I’m not guessing.
I’m not wishing.
I’m optimizing.
This is the difference between a creator and a business owner.
Keyword Reverse Engineering (How I Triggered the Algorithm)
“Why is nobody watching my video?” Because you’re fighting giants.
If you target keywords like
“AI tools”
“YouTube advice”
“How to grow on YouTube.”
You’ll get crushed.
I Target Only Long-Tail, High-Intent Buyers
Using VidIQ, I looked for keywords with:
- low competition
- high buyer intent
- clear niche use cases
Examples:
- “best AI tool for faceless videos”
- “AI tools for silent creators”
- “AI tools for YouTube automation beginners”
Low search volume. But extremely high purchase intent. This is how small creators win:
Not by fighting giants,
but by owning micro-niches.
The Truth: My Video Blew Up After 180 Days
Nothing happened in the first few months. But on day 180, YouTube suddenly picked it up — and the traffic turned into a waterfall.
This is why I call shorts digital fishing hooks.
Every video is a hook. One day, one of your hooks will catch a whale. Consistency is the compound interest of content.
The YouTube Affiliate Blueprint
Pick a recurring-commission product.
(30%+ monthly is ideal)
Make a 45–60 sec short video.
Show the pain point → show the solution → show your link.
Print the affiliate link on the screen.
Don’t wait for clickable links.
Track link clicks using Rebrandly.
Data is money.
Use long-tail keywords.
Small search volume = big conversion rate.
Let time do the work.
Shorts age like wine, not milk. If you follow this system, you can build a real small income machine — not fake “passive income,” but real recurring revenue.
