May 28, 2025YouTube Shorts are among the quickest ways to earn money in 2025. Let’s examine the backend data from a YouTube channel, Tobey Reacts, which has generated $320,000. While not solely reliant on Shorts, this channel uses a clever strategy to profit from others’ short videos. Below, we’ll unpack its approach.
A recent 54-minute video, essentially a compilation of Shorts, demonstrates how low-effort production allows daily uploads. The channel reuses Shorts effectively, and with a younger audience, repetition doesn’t hurt engagement. The video, posted 18 hours ago, has already hit over 10,000 views. Shorts drive significant traffic, with two surpassing 100 million views.
Notably, Tobey Reacts isn’t the creator’s top earner—his other channel, Gamers React, has made $5 million. The creator initially launched Tobey Reacts as a fun experiment, never anticipating its massive success.
Here’s a closer look at Tobey Reacts’ data:
-
Top Short: 270 million views, earned $7,000+. Decent, but less lucrative than long-form videos due to ad placement opportunities.
-
Long Video 1: 1.7 million views, earned $7,300.
-
Long Video 2: 2 million views, earned $9,546.
The creation process is simple:
-
Gather Clips: Collect funny or engaging clips, often from TikTok, especially kid-friendly animated ones.
-
Compile and Comment: Stitch clips into Shorts or long videos, adding light commentary or reactions (e.g., “Wow, gold coins, candy, macarons—he’s eating macarons, so cool!”). No high energy is needed.
-
No Face Required: Use tools like FaceRig Pro with a webcam to animate a virtual character that syncs with your expressions. Alternatively, use plush toys, as seen in channels like Donald Duck (3.2 million subscribers), which uses a plush toy and Donald Duck’s voice for reactions.
To scale:
-
Outsource: Hire someone to record 10–15 minutes daily and another to source TikTok clips.
-
Automate: Mass-upload Shorts and compile them into long videos for efficiency.
YouTube’s competitive yet fair platform rewards insight and execution. Create content people love, gain views, and earn ad revenue. You may not match these earnings initially, but it’s a viable starting point. It’s tough but achievable—good luck!
