Access ways to earn Once in the YPP, partners can pick and choose from contract modules that they're eligible for to unlock earning opportunities. This approach also gives creators increased transparency and focus to decide which monetisation opportunities are right for their channel. Sign in to YouTube Studio In the left menu, select Earn . Click Get started for each optional module to review and accept the terms.

Shorts Feed ads Accepting the Shorts Monetisation Module allows your channel to share revenue from ads viewed between videos in the Shorts feed. Shorts ads revenue sharing will begin accruing on the date that you accept this module. For more details on how ads revenue sharing works for Shorts, view our YouTube Shorts monetisation policies . Commerce Product Module The Commerce Product Module (and formerly available Commerce Product Addendum) lets you earn revenue from fan-funding features while connecting with your fans. Fan-funding features range from channel memberships to Super Chat, Super Stickers and Super Thanks. To earn revenue from fan-funding features, you must accept the Commerce Product Module (CPM) and turn on the individual features. Creators that have signed the Commerce Product Addendum (CPA) don't have to sign the new Commerce Product Module.
