not much per view. Shorts are paid from a shared ad pool that gets split across creators by views, so it works out to a small fraction of what long videos earn for the same view count, and you have to be in the YouTube Partner Program first. Anyone quoting a fixed rate per 1000 is guessing, it moves around a lot. If the proposal is selling Shorts for the ad money, that's the wrong reason. They're good for getting found and pushing people to long videos or the site.
