Shorts vs Long-Form: Side-by-Side Comparison
| Metric | Shorts | Long-Form (8+ minutes) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical CPM | $0.01 - $0.06 | $3 - $15 |
| Revenue per 1 million views | $10 - $60 | $1,000 - $5,000 |
| Mid-Roll Ads | Not available | Available (8+ minutes) |
| Best For | Discovery, subscriber growth | Revenue, watch time |
| Monetization Requirement | 1,000 subscribers + 10 million Shorts views (90 days) | 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 watch hours (12 months) |
Verdict for your niche:
Shorts are best used for audience growth, not revenue. In the Technology niche, you would need approximately 25 million Shorts views per month to match the revenue from 100,000 long-form views. Use Shorts to grow your subscriber base, then convert that audience to long-form content.

Publish your highest-effort content in October and November when CPM peaks. Save evergreen content for Q1 when CPM is lowest, as those videos will still earn higher revenue later when they accumulate views during Q4.
