FAQ
How much do Beauty Shorts pay per 1,000 views?
Pooled Shorts RPM for beauty averages $0.04–$0.18 per 1,000 views, with $0.08 typical. That's 88× less than the same niche's long-form RPM.

Roughly $40–$180, with $80 typical. Sponsorships on viral Shorts often pay 5–20× the ad pool revenue.
Why are beauty RPMs only mid-tier?
Beauty traffic is heavily female-skewed and international, which dilutes CPMs vs US-only finance/tech inventory. Affiliate and brand-partnership income usually dwarfs ad revenue.
Why is my real revenue different from this estimate?
Three reasons cover 95% of the gap: country mix (US/UK/AU pay 5–20× Tier-3), Shorts share of total views (pool RPM is 10–40× lower than long-form), and video length (under 8 minutes blocks mid-rolls and halves RPM).
