Youtube started as a platform to share longer-length videos, however, later it allowed content creators to post short videos called Youtube shorts. TikTok started as a short video-sharing platform, and now it is allowing users to post longer videos (up to 10 minutes).

Youtube is available worldwide for making money (except in a few countries), Tiktok’s earning program is not globally available, however, TikTok allows users to make money through brand promotion, receiving gifts from other users, etc. However, TikTok and Youtube are not the only platforms for sharing videos and earning from videos. You can also earn from your short videos on Facebook and Instagram.

Youtube short videos are called Youtube shorts and the short videos on Facebook are called Facebook Reels. Facebook Reels and Youtube shorts work in the same manner. By publishing short videos, you will be eligible to share the funds for the short video content creators. Facebook has 1 billion USD funds for Facebook Reels.

Facebook short videos are called Facebook Reels, whereas Instagram short videos are called Instagram Reels, which was launched before Facebook Reels. By publishing Instagram Reels, eligible short videos will have money-making opportunities. Earning is based on your video performance.

Have you tried earning from short videos?
 
Tik tok and YouTube still stay as the most popular ones globally. Tik tok is banned in many countries.
Earning from short videos is a very popular trend these days and many people are turning to it.
It seems that YouTube is facing a lot of competition these days due to Instagram and Facebook providing the same opportunities. Moreover, recently YouTube has brought some new rules and has also increased some charges. So earning on YouTube has become even more challenging now. More and more people are opting for other options. And Facebook and Instagram are picking up popularity.
I have never tried earnings from making videos though I always wanted to. But then time is a constraint. And with so many options available, one needs to provide some uniqueness and quality to stay in the competition. I wanted to make videos around special education and counseling tips. And those being of educational and informative nature would not meet the criteria of short videos. But yes I plan to not make it too long as that would not be entertained by many as people don't have enough time to watch long videos. YouTube might be the right choice for me if I ever manage to do that. Or I would just have videos on my personal website as video blogging.
 
Tiktok is the best app for short videos .Tiktok is that kind of platform where people upload a short videos of dancing, cooking, outing and eating etc..I used this app when I bore .But I am not using this app for my earning.Due to some reasons this app has banned in my country many time but then after some time it become unbanned.I am also watching short videos from snackvideo app .This app recently launched in my country. I do not know if it is available in all countries or not.We can earn money through snackvideo by watching the short videos. I have earned money through this but for this you have to give your decent time to this app .This app pays too much small amount that we can hardly buy a burger through this.
Beside this if I am talking about YouTube shortcuts video then yes we can earn money through this if your video will get more views and likes and if your YouTube channel has many subscribers but in order to bring the traffic on your YouTube channel you must have to work hard and wait minimum 5 to 6 month in order to make money through this app
 
The website have put in together varieties of ways individual can use to make money . Individual taste and preference to what ways seems easier , or to what ways may seems best , to use in order to make money online are different . That is why some of the ways an individual may have used to make money online will differ or be different from another person . Some people love to make money by watching short video clips and movies online , in order to get paid either in cryptocurrency or in real cash which they could withdraw through or via their cryptocurrency wallet or through PayPal or possibly direct bank transfer depending on the country and region in which they live or reside . I know of numerous websites that you can monetize your time , energy , money , knowledge , and phone resources on in order to get paid real cash . But rather than telling you all of them , I will be telling you the best and legit get paid to watch website among all others I have Personally encountered on the internet .

The website watch cruise.com is a get paid to watch websites that pays it uses real cash via PayPal for watching short video clips and movies usually within the range of 30 seconds to 60 seconds . One best feature about this website is that it is highly paying , more flexible and easily accessible than other get paid to watch website I have known . You can also download this website as an app via Google play store or Google App store depending on the smartphone device you and using .
 
One of the first steps towards making money determine the kind of things that you want to do and there are some people that are particularly okay with creating content. They are also different kind of contents that are existing like written articles, illustrations and other type of graphics and also videos as well. It has been proven that customers are much more interested in short videos and they are more likely to watch it there is something that is lasting up to 10 to an hour because they do not have the whole day on the internet .

1. YouTube . A lot of people do not know about it but of recent YouTube has added a particular feature called the YouTube shorts . This particular algorithm is tailored to be posting very short videos that can help them to put their brand .

2. Instagram . Instagram also followed the success of TiK ToK by adding their own subcategory known as the Instagram reels that is particularly tailored for posting of short video .

3. Everyone knows that Twitter has been tailored for posting of short videos as they have even made it that the highest length that you can be able to post on the website is 2 minutes .
 
I have never made an attempt to be earning with short video because that is not really my area of interest , so I won't really have the interest to engage in this earning opportunities. But I believe for you to choose out the best one and the most suitable one you, have to put so many things into consideration.

TiK ToK is one of the most growing social media nowadays and millions and billions of people are just interested in tik-tok and as a result it would be of a great advantage if you consider posting of content on tik-tok compared to YouTube because people may not particularly be interested in YouTube anymore.

Then another thing you can also consider is their earning rates per 1000 view, that is really important and from there it will help you to determine the best one that can really help you.

Even though people are making money by posting of short videos on those two social medias , but we also have to understand that it is not something that is just easy to do but it's something that requires a lot of dedication because you have to first of all grow your followers to a reasonable number before you can start earning consistently.
 
Youtube is the best platform to make money from your short vidoes. I am not saying youtube is the best platform to make money from short videos just because I use youtube and I make money from youtube. I have tried a lot of platforms to make money from videos, for example, I have used facebook, instagram, tiktok, even lesser known platforms Rumble or premium platforms like vimeo. I have been making videos on youtube since a long time and it is the best platform I know from my experience. If you think youtube has higher criteria for video monetization, check facebook and you will see they also have tough criteria, in fact, some of their features are exclusive only to some countries. Tiktok short video funds for creators is not available globally, however, youtube short video funds is available in many countries. Your short videos on youtube will he;p your youtube chaanel grow, which offers a lot of money making opportunity, however, tiktok has limitation when it comes to offer monetization option. Furthermore, youtube is second biggest website in terms of global traffic, fcebook followes youtube in the third position. Well, facebook is trying to evolve as video platform, but it will never replace youtube.
 
I am still learning how to take advantage of making money from YouTube shorts first, I enjoy being at YouTube than being at Facebook. YouTube has many contents where I can learn alot about money making, and it has helped me to grow. That's the platform I want to settle down too to make money with. I know it will take some time to start making real money with YouTube shorts. I will try my best to see how to get basic knowledge how it works with YouTube shorts videos. First of learn how to create a YouTube short account, I don't know if it will still merge with my current YouTube channel which I never started with video upload.

Their is fine for me, I will still learn it from YouTube itself, their are lots of opportunities to make money off from entertainment no need spending the time and making short videos for personal derivatives since we can share them on YouTube and grow subs and views from it. For me, it is worth the trial, people in there are already making real money from either YouTube shorts, Facebook reel, Instagram reel, and tiktok short videos too, so I can't be left out.
 
YouTube is probably the best video platform and of course the most popular when it comes to videos worldwide and TiK ToK is also very popular in that regard but many people that really wants to make money actually prefer YouTube.

YouTube shorts is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for people that makes short videos to make some good amount of money online. YouTube actually requires 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours and if you're doing short videos it will not really be easy for you to monetize your YouTube channel and of course that is probably hard.

Facebook on the other hand is undoubtedly very lucrative because I have listened to an interview of a comedian who makes videos on Facebook and he said that it is one of the best platforms for anyone who is into video creation. The money is just very cool just as YouTube and you really need to be very consistent for you to make good amount of money from it.

TiK ToK may actually not make you a lot of money because it is not allowed worldwide and at the same time their money-making potentials is very low when compared to YouTube. My own opinion YouTube is the best any day any time.
 
I think YouTube remains the best place to make money with short videos. You can create a channel in an image on YouTube and see managed to attract some views to some of the videos you upload into the channel.

The basics of creating a successful YouTube channel is to adding value to the community. It will be very hard to make money with YouTube if you two are creating a common channel just like anyone else.

Tik-tok is another platform where you can make money online with short videos. I was listening to a podcast few days ago in which one of the guest speaker said he usually makes $1000 in a day from tik-tok videos. I think this is possible because the person has a lot of subscribers to his tik-tok handles.

One thing about it is that, either you choose YouTube or a tik-tok, you need to select a niche you know how to make money fast. Selecting a target audience is the basis of all business depending on medium you choose to establish.

You must be able to offer something valuable that will appeal to a lot of people in order to become an authority in any minute you choose. What is you have been established as an expert, you can start making money by recommending products or sell your own.
 
Socialism media has open a platform for people who like making short and long videos. All the above mentioned site are all social media and they have given a huge opportunities to members by allowing them to share videos to earn from online. YouTube and TikTok are both purposely for creating and sharing videos. But if you take a brief look at the rule of YouTube, it seems YouTube all video posters to post almost every videos including adult contents. Yes, some people post adult contents on YouTube and it is allowed.

Unlike TikTok, that only allow funny and educative videos alone. Tiktok don't allow you to post adult content and you can be easily banned for your post. But in all they all allow you to make money on your short videos. Beside getting money online from posting short videos on the social media, there are some websites that also allow you to make money from online just by posting short videos and of of this website is called Pixels. I have post about now you can make money from Pixels earlier and I don't want to go into much details but all you need is your five to twenty second quality videos.
 
@Sikapa. I think the site is called Pexel and not Pixel. Unless you are talking about some other site that I am not aware of. I guess it is still not as popular as other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Tik tok. I was once looking for some free pictures to be used for one of my blogs on some site. It is then when I came across Pixabay( quite known one) and Pexel. It's full of royalty free images and videos by the creator. Not sure how much one can earn from them but seems like you do earn when you are the creator and your images abd videos are picked up.
I have always found that some videos just go viral in no time and we find them being omnipresent. They take a round on each platform available by non stop sharing.
 
I'm always surprised by your content and I always have a lot of things to gain from it . I must commend you for writing very good post on this forum and it has been of great help to me because I see you as my model. considering the post, I never knew that one could make money from short videos on YouTube I have tagged YouTube to be a channel where one could only make money by posting long videos and that is basically what I thought that YouTube does, I never knew that one could also put short videos on YouTube to make money like what we used to have on TiK ToK. From what you mentioned it was also made known that tiktok also offered a lengthy videos to that could last for 10 minutes and that was a very incisive information and it is highly appreciated. Short videos are also popular with Facebook reels and Instagram reels which are one of the ways to make money by uploading videos. It is now very important that one should have a good knowledge around video editing if you really want to make something that is good on the internet right now.
 
@arunima25 you are right dear the name of the site is Pexel and not Pixels. Is my mistake and I think I have rechecked and I made a correction. I think you really know what I'm talking about. Thank you for alerting me and I really appreciate your correction. Once again tank you.

It's alright. We all are prone to such mistakes especially the typing errors are quite common if we are using smartphones. I checked Pixel after reading your post as I had a doubt that it was Pexel. Glad that you corrected it. We are here as a community to help each other.
 
Both of them offers great opportunities for people to make money by posting of videos , but in most cases I can just say that YouTube could be one of the most widely recognised platform for posting of videos because it has been in existence for a long time .

A lot of people could also at the same time prefer to make money by posting on tik-tok , there is no problem with that since it can still be profitable .

Personally , if I am just interested to make money by posting videos , I rather prefer to make money on YouTube because that is the one I used most of the time because I don't like Tik Tok .

Anyone that really have the interest to make money on tik-tok can also make money with it as it also offer great opportunities for people to make money online.

For people that have interest on tik-tok I believe that's just one of the best place to make money because the platform is really growing and if you can jump on the trend you can actually make a lot of money by posting videos as long as your videos have something reasonable to offer.
