I'm curious about the transition part. I was thinking about diverting to another video from someone else's channel. Doesn't the algorithm punish you if you divert to another one of your videos then they come out of the platform? Sending them to another channel might make your videos appear better?

[@Rick1Ball]

What’s your basketball channel?

[@JustinCollard]

I enjoyed the script writing breakdown. Though simple, having a framework to go off of is always helpful for beginners.

[@cozystream]

You really did not show your channel ? Very Trustworthy. And what about copyright ?

Definatly creating shorts from long form content, I just started my first channel and had no idea you could do this, thanks so much!🙌

Am I doing it right or something wrong in what I do n nobody tells that either even though some people watch my content.. soon hoping a day where my content turns helpful to someone somewhere throughout the world n benefits n benefits me too..

Key advice in short: 1. Use proven ideas that will get views, get inspired from other channels. Titles important 2. In a script focus on hook and make sure to transition to the next video in the end 3. The most important part in video first 30-60 secs: make them fast-paced, changing texts. Also cut out all boring stuff 4. Shorts can boost subscribers Thank for amazing content!

[@CreateActionLtd]

My Shorts have boosted my subscribers a lot. I've just gotten over 1,000 now and I'm days away from monetizing on the watch hours 🤗

[@TiMeYOhH]

​@@CreateActionLtdbe careful with shorts if you want to upload long form videos. The subscribers maybe don't want to see long form videos and it will hurt your viewrate

[@CreateActionLtd]

@@TiMeYOhH The shorts are still Technology related (99% of the time), which is what my channel is dedicated to. Shorts are a great way to reach a wider number of people due to way that Shorts work.

@@CreateActionLtd if your channel is mostly about shorts perfect. Good luck for the further way! Im still in the beginning with growing 2 long form video channels 😅

I'm a KZbin beginner so taking in all the info I can get and there is a lot of good tips out there. I would say PASSION is the most important KEYWORD, cuz that shines through everything you do. The problem is if you are passionate about something that not a lot of people care about. And also consider what you are GOOD at. And also what is POPULAR. I'M not in such a hurry to get monetized but would be nice at some point of course 🤩

I appreciate all your advice. I am unmotivated at the moment. I have been posting videos for over a year and I don't have the subscribers or the hours to monetize the channel.

Thank you, I will look at your video a few more times.

How did you convert your videos into shorts through remix?

[@markstowingroadsideservice]

I love Think Media. The only problem is probably 80% of your advice doesn't work for my channel. I don't know what my video is going to be about before hand as I shoot what calls come up. I can't do my thumbnail before shooting. I can't have a script. I can come up with some pre thought out videos, Working on one this weekend. It seems like after I put tags and keywords in my impression have fallen. My last video only has a little over 3,000 impressions in 24 hours. I am up to 708 subs. I know that's good for the content and the age of the channel but it is agonizingly slow. I have to admit I don't utilize shorts like I should. I have commented on a few videos like this but never have received a response. Hope you having a great spring.

[@luashelton9320]

Hi Mark at Mark's Towing. Some ideas that come to mind for some high impact short videos for you might actually be roadside safety scenarios, some done revolving around " implied action." Look how many people get run over while changing a tire or flinging open and exiting the driver's side doors when their vehicle breaks down on a busy road... stuff like that. You could import stock photo clips of emergency vehicles if needed. You could edit into your clips using a cartoon, or real busting watermelon , implied to mean " this is your head if you..." ( step out of your car in such circumstances) DOT guys are pretty nice in sharing tips for public safety that could give you plan-able content ideas. Other roadside repair guys who pool thoughts together talking about near- misses would provide a weath of fodder for viewers of all ages Every roadside repair channel ought to have a " busted watermelons " playlist , or similar , to entice viewers to either punch your subscribe button, or tap a link to your "busted watermelons" playlist of not extremely long videos (I'm a retired career trucker) Best wishes! Stay safe .

[@markstowingroadsideservice]

@@luashelton9320 And that's why I'm a better driver than video maker. Amazing ideas. Thank you!

[@Thefreakshowbabe]

Road safety videos for average joes like me could work. This would get more people to your channel and as a result possibly increase your subs. You could still make your roadside content as well. Good luck! in VRA they teach this stuff in depth. The surface content on these channels don't even scratch the surface of what you learn in the paid course.
