Have you tried this copy claim method on youtube shorts? Will it work on shorts or is it only on longer videos? Also how long does the music has to be for the system to detect the claim on the video?You have many distributors - Tunecore, CDbaby, Distrokid... I used Tunecore

I know but when you add your music to the clip and claim it with a distributor you can make money?The views from Shorts doesn't earn you any money
Hi, I've got an answer from the YouTube Team... Unfortunately, I have not been monetized. I decided to do a rebrand and maybe create my own content, I'm really happy to see your reply it's uplifting, thank you for taking the time to answer me! i wish you the best!
last thing I would add: what do you think of cover songs, I'm really a good singer (lol it's weird saying that) but I heard regulations are so complicated and I don't want to put time into it just to be banned or not eligible for monetization because YouTube is a side thing for me ( I don't know maybe to make revenue as I'm studying pharmacy and we're not the best family financially, I'm still 17 and I have 6 more years to graduate lol..) would song covers like do it?
ps. I'm learning to make my own music but I'll have to have an audience first
So were the views from shorts traffic or normal traffic sources? The money paid was from the distributor?Yes you can only if the views are normal and not from youtube shorts promotion, there was a time I used to upload shorts videos and they would get a ton of views upto 2 million in a day but I only got paid 100$ or even lower money.
Sorry for the late reply. I've been really busy and going through some tough times myself so haven't logged in much recently.
Sorry to also hear they did not approve of you. I like your attitude though. It's good to keep your head up and learn from the past and use it
propel you even further into the future.
I'm not sure about cover songs. If I am not mistaken, even if you are singing a copyrighted song, I don't think you'd be allowed to monetize on it. You are certainly allowed to sing cover songs and build a huge following if you are really good, and then use that following later on for perhaps something else like your own music (which is a golden idea if you know how to compose/make your own music).
I don't know exactly how good you are at singing but maybe you could offer your own talent on Fiverr or places like that where people will pay you to record/sing a song for them for their video/ad/company/project etc. It could be lucrative if you know how to develop music for clients and using your own voice makes it that much more profitable.
Yes, starting a new brand/channel is a great idea. You can use the stuff you have learned from your past and make an even better channel. One thing I have learned from using youtube and running a channel/making content is that it requires a lot of work and commitment. It's not as easy as it seems. The final product always looks pretty simple and easy to do but when actually making videos, it's a lot of dedication, commitment, work/time, energy, even managing stress and mental/emotional challenges of the ups/downs, the critics, discouraging roadblocks along the way, etc.
But I always believe that if you have a real passion and talent for something, you won't feel like you are working at all. It will be something you live for, love, to wake up in the morning too, and can't wait to do it. That's a great place to be in life if you ever find that sweet spot! Best to you as well!
