I am posting a lot of Shorts last few months, and the most important thing is to have some kind of strategy. People now like expressive content, so make those and post them consistently (after posting something I usually use a bit of Famester so it is easier for my content to go viral). It is also important to watch how many times you post, how much you create, so you could possibly avoid burnout.

[@bbreak]

Definitely not. Vidiq is honestly completely clueless how youtube works for today's small creators... I used to follow all Vidiq advice only to have my channel die after 18 months, stuck at 500 subs. Now I deliberately don't use most of the things I originally learned from Vidiq, and just a month later, I'm at 1.3k subs... biggest thing I changed? I now blame the algorithm... the algorithm sucks! So I now make content for the algorithm first, audience second. Completely the opposite of what Vidiq keeps saying... and with veey few exceptions all my videos now perform well

One simple question : after adding channel tags my channel started to get down. From 30-40 subs per day it started to get 4-5 subscribers per day, from 80 views per hour it started to get 7-8 views per hour. May channel tags trigger the issue? Ps: channel tags are completely relevant to the content

[@jpatrickcreatives]

I found a lot of great value in this video. Great Stuff Guys!

[@MrAngryTroll]

I have a question because I used to post a short a day. So what I am doing now is 4 Shorts a week, my 2 Livestreams, and 1 Long form a week. This way it gives shorts a day or two to get momentum.

[@MrInflnzr]

@vidiq How accurate is Vidiq's (backend) "search screen & home screen" feature? In regards to the location of your videos posting.

We recently switched to becoming only a shorts channel and it has made such a big difference and helped us solidify a niche we can love along with letting me create our content without eating so much of my free time. Already have massively different numbers in just the last few weeks than I ever did in the last several months.

[@AliChitax]

cool, just know that shorts subs don’t necessarily transfer to longform content so make sure you either care more about the depth of the topic making them wanna watch you long vids or focus on shorts entirely I personally had 200ish subs for 9 months and just in 1 week I got to a 1000! and reached 1300 in 3 months and then again, from the past week till now I got to 1,780 oh and also, be patient , the short that got me 1000 subs and got 1.4 million views (and still gets 5-10K views per day) was uploaded 200 days before it got viral!!!! it had 10K views for 200 days , keep that in mind, believe in yourself and dominate

[@TwinFlameGaming1]

@@AliChitax Yea. I definitely kept that in mind. I always wanted to make videos that show my wife and I just having fun gaming. The long form videos felt a bit forced and not as genuine at times, but the shorts are purely genuine and just us being ourselves because I'm able to catch those more natural moments and share them. It has become a bit of a collection of ours to look back on fondly and for others to see and relate to with their significant other. I'm still in my first year of starting this channel, so I'm excited to see it grow over time.

@@SeetheWorldIn360degrees for example, the space video link story thing that markiplier did uses unlisted videos

[@VioletEmerald]

Yes everything ​@WorldIn360channel said. I use unlisted videos a lot when they are unfinished and I'm sharing the partial product with other close friends or colleagues for editing feedback or to show off what I have so far

[@bbreak]

Always post shorts on your mobile as unlisted or planned. On your mobile you can choose a thumbnail, however on your desktop you can add description, tags, etcetera, which really helps the short kick off once it goes public.

[@pawsome0]

I read somewhere that you don't get claims for using copyright music in youtube shorts? Was that wrong?

[@MrGreen99]

Has anyone noticed large short creators using this retention hack where a bug walks across part of the screen for absolutely no reason? Or they would put an eye catching object in the video randomly. Going to try that little trick before everyone starts using it

Hey, PLEASE READ! I have been posting since august 2023, im now on 27K Subscribers but am unable to monetise due to reused content. I have switched up my editing style even more to truly transform my content… I can reapply soon but i’m worried it will be the same response. Should i delete posts that may be reused?

[@pawsome0]

My content is also reused, do you think I am also going to face a problem like that in future?

[@victorz5796]

I saw all your shorts are cuts from other videos and not original work. I think that maybe the reason for reuse content.

[@Cool-Papaya-2O25]

Should we make another channel for KZbin shorts or upload both long videos and shorts on one channel?

Pretty sure this video heavily implies one channel is better.

Does anyone know the actual size of a KZbin seed audience? I know TikTok is 200 but I can’t seem to find what KZbin’s is?

[@LiamFlanagan-dd9wb]

@VidIQ Thank you for an informative and helpful video. I have two questions - one Shorts related, one not Shorts related but came up in the video. 1) You talk about Retention but don't talk about how frequently to switch clips in a Short. Is this important for Shorts, if so how frequently? If it helps I'll be launching an AI Avatar Shorts channel soon. 2) You mention that you wouldn't recommend reuploading videos as it could end up with a shadow ban imposed by KZbin. I'm going to relaunch a Long form channel later this year. I was going to start by reuploading old videos with B-Roll, animated video clips and where needed reedited the video/parts of them so there's a better structure - a story style structure. The original audio would be more or less the same. Will reuploading these videos this way see my channel shadow banned? Will I not see an uptick in Views/Subs until I upload completely new videos? Thank you, much appreciated. Liam

Should i keep going with what I’m doing or change course just a little and put out more videos over shorts. Also should i worry about this little bubble of success popping soon and bringing the views back down to more reasonable numbers? I love your videos, they have really helped me learn an immense amount already! Thank you for your time!

I really really need some help guys, for the past 5 days my shorts are getting no reach at all, yt aint showing it to anyone, its shows it to just 4-5 people whereas previously I used to get views in thousands. And its not cus the retention is low, the 4-5 viewers that watches the shorts watches it full and even rewatch it, the average percentage views is really good then why is yt stopping the reach, this has happened previously but it used to get in track in 2 days max but now it is continuous. No reach in shorts, community posts. It these shorts are shown then I am confident enough that the viewers will enjoy it but why aint yt even showing it in anyone’s feed or recommendation or anything like that.

One piece of advice: blame the algorithm. Vidiq doesn't get this, but certainly with shorts it's the most important thing to grow. Make content for the algorithm first, audience second... I now often grow with 50-100 subs per day, since implementing this strategy... by completely ignoring most of Vidiq's advice
