What are shorts on YouTube?
What exactly are YouTube shorts? On the YouTube platform, there are short videos that are only available for mobile devices. They are intended to be consumed rapidly, and they have a 60-second time limit. Shoppable ads, which will soon be available on YouTube, can make it simple for viewers to purchase items they see as they scroll through YouTube Shorts.

How to make ads for YouTube shorts that can be bought.
STEP 1: CREATE A NEW AD CAMPAIGN WITH THE USE OF GOOGLE ADS FROM
There are a lot of options and goals, but you need to choose one that includes placements on YouTube.
Consideration of the product and brand, Brand awareness and reach, Sales, Leads, or the ability to launch a campaign without a goal offers YouTube placements.
STEP 2: deciding where to put your advertisement.
There are three choices available under “Networks.” Video partners on the Display Network, YouTube videos, and search results on YouTube. If you don’t want your ads to appear on sites other than YouTube, you should uncheck the third option. This will guarantee that your advertisement will only be displayed on the YouTube website or app.
STEP 3: CHOOSING A TARGETING DEVICE.
This is the most crucial step in the process. Your advertisement might not appear on the right device if you don’t do this correctly. There are two choices under the heading “Additional settings”: Show on all eligible devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, and television screens) or target specific devices.
Select Device-specific targeting, as depicted in the image below. Except for Mobile Phones, deactivate all other device options. Your ad will only be shown to YouTube Shorts viewers and mobile YouTube viewers after this point.
