I gained 18.5k subs in 20 days just from my shorts. What I did was being simple, not a ton of editing, just footage, text and music. My simplicity and my hook "5 x in x" or "The *adjective* in x". This made me grow really big really quickly. Sometimes simple is best!
Yeah, none of these "hacks" mentioned in this video have anything to do with my content, I actually haven't been able to apply any of the tips recommended by this channel for that same reason, I tested the tips from the vidiq extension and the video barely got views.
2 hours after watching this video, and following the tips, I published my short, and TH-cam recommended it on the short feed. my traffic is up. It works well, thanks so much
A short video that i had uploaded 2 months ago started getting traction again out of nowhere just because the watchtime was 170%. The algorithm sometimes works in favor of small channels sometimes against. Just be consistent and your channel will grow eventually.
When I started my TH-cam Channel about a month ago I was focused on shorts. The strategy was to get as many subscribers as I can in a month before creating a long form video. Shorts is like introducing to the audience what your channel is all about. From there, they will know what to expect from you.
That's really cool! I checked your channel and it looks really good! keep up the good work! I have a relatively small yt channel and have been thinking about making yt shorts could I ask you if their worth it to make? and what editing software do you use to make your shorts?
I have some unique data for you: i have 5k subs, around 4.5k of them came from 8-second shorts. I found my shorts exploded when the watch time was over 130%. Making the short shorter made it easier to get to 100% without adding a ton of text/flair to the video. I recently polled my audience on the next videos they want to see (I genuinely wanted to learn more about my audience). Everyone chose long-form topics, and hardly anyone mentioned wanting to see better shorts. I thought that was interesting because my short quality isn’t that good. Also, I tried to post my same schedule when I was in Mexico for a vacation. I didn't have a language or region setting on the channel, and my short view count immediately took a big hit. I averaged around 10k per short, going down to 1k. I noticed the algorithm was recommending my content to people near where I was, or that spoke different languages.
@@allenthebestdogever Cool! I liked shorts over tiktok since it helped my youtube too. I'm not sure if the amount of shorts I have can ruin my potential on suggested videos/best for you/up next recommendations. I subbed! Let's GROW💪
@@Huz7Edits channel default settings, and the video's additional settings. I meant title language too. I think it will help the algorithm find better, relevant people in the long run. I could be wrong. Also, I'm canadian, and since I'm smaller, instead of English (CA), i used English (US) instead to get more reach. I like literally just did this and noticed my long forms getting noticed again.
youtube shorts has helped me so much when it comes to making long-form content. if shorts didn't exist then i'd have to keep having to make long-form content to grow which would take a LOOONG TIME
Seriously, the lessons in this video are like a kick in the pants for personal growth. It's not just about learning facts; it's about figuring out who you really are. Watch it, absorb it, and get ready for some serious positive vibes and self-discovery.
Shorts for me helped to get my long form videos to be seen way more , i like to post a short about the last video , promote it and it sometimes go BOOM ahah, im no where near epic numbers but 2 months ago i wasnt thinking of it being a posibility and the more i make content , the more possible it is to make it a living, its hard work but hella worth it :D
I feel like TH-cam Shorts are future because people have short span of attention these days, and it's really popular with Gen Z (almost as much as TikTok). That's why I am trying to make content almost every day for both platforms, but I put my focus on short expressive videos. Consistency (and a little bit of Famester of course) always pays off.
I started youtube shorts 6 months ago. Until january I used to upload daily a short, I used to get like 2 million highest to lowest of 2k views on a video and then I stopped posting for 40 days and started again in march and posted consistently for the next 30 days but the problem is out of the 30 shorts I posted in the past 30 days, Not even one single short got more than 100 views, which is really disappointing for me. I don't even know what to do at this point! :(
I had a bunch of TH-cam shorts go viral a year or two ago and now I have 34k subscribers. Now I wanted to actually become monetized (they didn’t have short views monetization then) so I started posting long form content and now I get 100 views max which is way low for my sub count.
Good advice but my experience recently is that you have to make shorts on the topics which are getting attraction rather then just going after what you want to make. Other thing which matters alot is upload timing which really affects the shorts performance.
One thing that I do struggle with sometimes are video hooks, and low-and-behold VidIQ puts out a video on making better video hooks, and with example of successful videos that use these concepts. Alot of youtube videos I've seen from other YT channels with tips/tricks is the videos usually don't give examples of how someone used said tips/tricks to find success on YT. VidIQ once again has blown my mind.
Yeah I started doing both instead of having a separate shorts channel. Last few shorts have done well and increased subscriber count. I’m starting to use them as a sneak preview to a full review.
it's been the same to me, and the problem is my content (drawings) takes too long to make (usually takes from 6 to 15 hours to make a single drawing), after sitting with bad posture for so many hours I end up with a lot of pain in my back, neck, hands and wrists, all that for the video ending up getting 10 or 15 views 😔
I've gained 1.5k subs in a month through shorts, currently at 25k daily views average but my long form videos don't even get 100 views 💔 Seems pretty hard to monetize either way 😢
Long form, shortform and podcast not easy to mange it all when you are a one person travel brand. But then it's good we have a little help in this videos for what way to go.
I'm still trying to figure out the perfect hook for YT Shorts but for a gaming clips. All i can think about is to create the perfect moment like something funny, scary, or anything happening to quikly grab the viewer's attention.
We shall see Vidiq. I have 3 pages of notes and will be trying all 36 ideas 💡. Another amazing video. Back to the video audits. About to bang out 2023 again to see what I missed. Please keep up the awesome work!!!
I do notice that most people who I see do shorts and long form TH-cam videos gain most of their subs from shorts and their actual TH-cam videos get 10 times less views than their shorts
I've been making shorts for almost 2 weeks on this channel, and from all the different styles I'm trying right now, I discovered yesterday that those I made with "5 things... etc" (list type) are getting the most attention. Then I come here and I discovere it's actually a good Hook, so yeah, that makes sense. Aside from that, thankyou so much for this info. I'm definetly trying these hooks for next shorts. 💪💪
It's funny but I actually just bough a book name '99 hooks to create viral content' from amzon and here you are suggesting how important hooks are! Now, I feel good about it
Can ypu explain what does shown in feed means on youtube studio Like every shown in feed gets a view or we get a view when the viewer sticks on the short for specific time Does shoen in feed means the feed which is apperaing on mobile or pcs on home page or refer to the feed in which shorts are played Ehat is swiped away vs viwed means how it is calculated PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE NEW ANYLATICS
so would using the remix feature to edit a long form video into a short give you the same benefits that youtube is saying that uploading in both formats will give?
Much of this is so "punch me in the face" painfully obvious that it's hard to believe I've completely overlooked it. Thanks very much for this video. Excellent job!
OMG! This is some really great advice on the "HOOK" titles! I am horrible at thinking of these because I just make cake videos and had a hard time getting people to watch my shorts because I just didn't have the right titles but these are SUPER helpful hook titles! THANK YOU!!
This is a good video. I think I have to make shorts of me actually playing and singing my songs, to offset the other shorts and full versions of my songs.
I just started this channel 2 weeks ago and i can say it is not impossible to get views you just have to be consistent my first 20 videos had 0 views now most of the videos hit more than 500 hundred its a high growth in two weeks it is so be consistent
Thank you for doing the research for us! I’ll definitely be incorporating some of these in my next shorts to hopefully back the algorithm. Great informational video!!
To whoever is reading this, keep going! 😄👍 You’re perfectly fine! No matter how slow your progress is going, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. I believe in all of you, and I hope we all go to the top together someday.
About to start this channel this weekend.. pokemon nuzlocking and stuff. First time recording and already have an amazing short rrsdy to upload. Likely will fail, but excited at the moment lol

Bro can u please explain? I am a football edit ybtuber plz help...
do you mean 5x in x and adjectives in x?
I think he meant 5 x in y. X being the adjective and Y being the noun
does it give you good money?
Same here, minimal editing, catchy song and a clip of your niche, im nearly at 400 subscribers now!
Whoever reading this, I wish your channel grows by 100000000x. Best of luck.
Thanks a million and same to you. You may grow further.
🙌🙌😍
Same to you!
What if you have 0

1. Audience retention
2. Viewed vs Swiped away

Absolutely, love to see it when my shorts have more people staying!
I have these things but not viral
yeahh ..thats truee😀
This is all I was looking for. not sure why the video didn't just state that!

@@LowLeveLlama Hi, yes shorts are definitely worth it if you are aiming for more subscribers and not the watchtime. I pictory for my shorts.
I normally like these videos because they stay true to the title. This isn't 36 hacks to beat the algorithm though, this is 36 ways to write a hook.
Clickbait, all clickbait with no results, which is what vidiq is all about.
Yeah 😢
I love shorts for creative ways to convey information in a clear concise way in a short amount of time. It is a skill! 👍🏾

You make those on tiktok?
You could schedule your videos to upload them everyday, but produce them beforehand
What about freestyles are they good for shorts

We are always here for you 😊
Thank you , i will try this !
great video...been researching on how to improve my shorts lately
Such a high quality video providing specific examples and explaining why they work!!!

I'll have to review this again later, but so many great ideas!
I just learned a ton of new hooks from this, thanks VidIQ!, Also stay strong all you starting out creators, you got this!
The bit about "optimizing a longform video" at 0:45... is there a video on that on this channel as well? Thanks!
Today I learned that just even watching a video about shorts and TikTok like vids melts the brain
Thank you so much for these tips. I have been really having a hard time understanding the youtube algorithm but no luck.
it's been the same to me, and the problem is my content (drawings) takes too long to make (usually takes from 6 to 15 hours to make a single drawing), after sitting with bad posture for so many hours I end up with a lot of pain in my back, neck, hands and wrists, all that for the video ending up getting 10 or 15 views 😔

True 👍
It really depends on the type of content they produce.
Great job on this video. Fast paced and interesting.
For my channel, the "Did you know" opening hooks are the best performing. Thanks for the info! Will try the other opening hooks
Gonna implement a loop into my next short. Heard a lot about them 😅.
Go for it! 😊

We have been experimenting with these tips over the past 24 hours and have seen explosive growth! DO IT!
So how would you do a gaming clip? Would you introduce it first then show it? Im confused how a hook would work for one of those shorts.
