Why you should NOT start YouTube Shorts (beware)

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Guys, if you enjoyed this video (and especially if you saw what happened at the end from last time) could pleas do me a favor and comment + share this with a shorts creator who needs to see this? I am curious if we will randomly flatline our view traction again like last time... thx all 🙏

[@wickdmagician]

💯 sure thing mann. need your advice though, recently started a shorts channel 6 days ago and i’m considering making it my main channel for this year & next year. what’s your honest advice for me putting most of my attention on growing the shorts channel ? it’ll only be for shorts. @TRW_VIKING .

[@_themerc]

This is my exact experience.I have now started focusing only on long form. I think what you describe is something youtube can't do anything about. You just have to decide what kind of creator you want to be and stick to it. I think shorts are really only good as trailers for your long form where it is intentionally incomplete so that only people who care about the full video end up subscribing

[@Mr.Plant1994]

you gotta do what RWJ does. He makes shorts that are 1-2 mins longer then a short, so he uploads two versions and has the short version link to the longer video. It adds alot of clicks through your channel and gives you extra eyes. You could easily put long form content in the middle of all this and it would probably work great.

[@aylinnzeynal]

I have been video creator for a few years and unfortunately I learned everything you said through experience. You are completely right in what you say. I have 1 advice and 1 suggestion. First, make a choice, either share only long videos or share short videos. If it is suitable for you to be successful and earn high income over a long period of time, share long videos. If you want quick success but earning huge income is not important to you, share short videos. But there is also an advantage to sharing short videos. Your channel grows fast, you can become famous fast. It's hard to grow that fast with long videos. I recommend you make the choice from the beginning. And the 'short videos with ai' videos you see on the internet are nonsense. Only a lucky few channels succeeded, but they had tried at least 10-20 different channels, only 1 channel was successful. Trust this video.

[@aylinnzeynal]

Another observation: KZbin algorithm understands 'ai sounds and content' and doesn't really support it. You may have short successes at first, but then it all goes away.

I will KZbin some credit and mention that shorts lately have now allowed for shorts to be linked directly to any related video of yours which includes your long form videos. But I’m going to be honest to say I have both long form and short form vids on my channel and the results are always inconsistent. I’m debating making less shorts per month and stick to more long form videos. Ah well

[@RayReacts03]

When I made my reaction channel I made sure to mainly stick to long form content. I was aware that the KZbin algorithm would mess up if I were to do both shorts and long form at once. Now after 2 months of long form content I am posting the clips into my shorts and they are generating okay enough views. It still depends on your niche but Start off with long form, then switch to shorts..

[@FoggyMemoryProductions]

I went back and forth on shorts and ultimately decided that if I was gonna upload shorts to my main channel, it was gonna be no more then 2 a week. So 2 shorts along with 5 longform videos. And so far it seems to work with what I want to happen with my channel. Mind you I'm well past the point of trying to get monetized so I don't exactly have to use them for much else other then possibly promoting the long form videos. Even then I'm gonna bank on that strategy working.

It is the same as that saying when you try to impress everyone you impress no one. It is better to choose what route you want your channel to go in the future because business is a long-term game.

[@kevinsrambles9286]

Great video and great points! One minor correction is that MrBeast didn't "give up" on posting shorts, he just has an entire separate channel dedicated to them, so that the subscribers with shorter attention spans are all localized onto one channel.

[@Gamer-Sam]

Making sense, good video. Thanks!

[@SaharNawaz]

I can see why this applies every time to face-less channels, repurposed, edited content etc but I follow many creators in lifestyle/influencer niches that get hundreds of thousands on both types of their content, which they post on the same account. I think if people want to follow YOU then they're most likely to watch both forms. Especially if you're posting different things for shorts and not just taking clips of your long form videos. But there isn't really a shortcut to getting your audience to get to that point so you just have to put in the traditional work. Also, when no one knows you, long form videos have more views that come from search where shorts are usually just something that shows up while you're scrolling. That's also why your niche may not have done well with long form, because I would rather spend that time watching something from a more "authentic" or "original" source if that makes sense rather than through someone's editing style or commentary. Mr.beast is an outlier in everything and I'm sure he would have seen more views if he didn't switch to a separate account for shorts after only 31 uploads. Regardless, he didn't have a need for eyes on him when he started shorts like most small creators do so he may have had a different approach if he was in the same boat as them. Anyways, great videos. they always get me thinking about different factors to consider.

[@OMGreallyneil]

big facts. well said

[@ForestRavenProductions]

This was really good information. Shorts have been hit or miss for me since I started my channel last month. Sometimes they would get 5000 views sometimes they would sit at 0 or less than 100 and then for some reason everything stops on my channel for a day or two, like no views, subs whatever. Like the algorithm is broken and thinks I'm spam for a few days I don't know, makes no sense. I'm really glad I came across this video, now I don't have to worry about making shorts anymore, I'll focus on my longer videos (which are only a few minutes anyway lol) but it will save me some time.

[@shivateja3629]

Hey I've got an idea, start uploading shorts and grab some audience, start making long videos but initially make them only 2-4 minutes as your audience attention span is less. And gradually increase video length Will this work ????

[@jackywacky4361]

Shorts still work really great for me on my second channel. I mean, I am just small content creator and I work really hard (I also use a little bit of fame ster, but that's a necessity nowadays). I just give all my videos small initial boost, and that caused them to spread literally everywhere, bringing more and more organic views day after day.

[@ZethromGaming]

This was HUGE sauce! I was building momentum off shorts and after seeing this my stats makes sense.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

This makes a lot of sense. I had 5K subscribers with long form content, and am at around 28K thanks to shorts. When I put long form videos out there, which take me 30 minutes to an hour of time per minute of content to make, they actually get less views than when I JUST made long form content, even though I have improved things like camera, sound, and editing. Every short is guaranteed to make 5-10K views with a few going over 100K and a couple over a million views, and I have been seeing around $1.25/10K views. This has started to discourage me from making long form content especially when I can film two months worth of shorts in an afternoon. A huge downside is that only going surface level like I do in shorts instead of taking a deep, well studied dive as I do for long videos has made me less knowledgeable about my subject.

All of this is 100% true. I want to mainly earn from long form but getting the first 1000 subs was taking me longer than I wanted so I made some shorts and one went viral (2.6 million views and 20,000 subs as a result) , Bad new is, as of today, I'm still at 3800 public watch hours so my channel, 20K subs strong isn't making a dime yet. Fortunately I do have one long form video that has picked up speed (500-600 views per day) and will get me the watch hours needed within a week or two from now. An no, my 20k subs from that viral short is not getting me any long form views.

Great video brother, I honestly think KZbin shorts is a separate business than regular KZbin content. Because they don't let you link your longer videos in the description, they do not want Short viewers to switch to longer content on KZbin because they pay so little money out for shorts, they profit way more from the shorts. Thanks for sharing.

[@Creature_Features_]

That is good advice. Before I started my channel, I had planned on posting both short and long videos. However, a friend on Facebook informed me that both type of audiences come to KZbin with different mentalities. They suggested sticking to one, so I opted for posting shorts. On that, I was thrilled until last week when four of my videos consecutively surpassed 1K views. However, suddenly, the views came to a complete halt. Impressions or "Shown in feed" are practically at 0, and even my 70 subscribers are not seeing my shorts in their feed. This is disheartening because I don't understand why this happened. The average view duration and "Viewed vs Swiped away" were both over 50% on most of my shorts. So, why did KZbin suddenly stop promoting them? I don't want to give up, but after four failed attempts to get views, I am seriously contemplating quitting :(

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

But I too made some changes to my shorts. Managed to get my retention rate from around 55% to 90% in my last few videos. Now I just need to work on that viewed vs swipe rate lol. But yeah just keep going and see where you can improve.

[@mochiithellama]

so basically pick whether you want to do long vids or shorts and stick with it. This video was actually informative especially to those who are just starting out.

Thanks for sharing us your experiences so that we will be more aware and not suffer the same consequences.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

always :) thx for watching

[@ar.michael8306]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT IM suffering from same issue as you,should i create a new yt channel? or delete all shorts?

[@ItsMustachio]

What you’re saying makes sense, but I still plan on doing a mixture. Ill just have to think more on how i go about it.

[@jamilf2667]

I'll tell you my idea and maybe you'll follow along. I am planning on starting a gaming channel with long form content and will be using shorts to advertise it. However, I won't be having both yt shorts and long form content on the same channel. I'll make a sub channel for yt shorts to filter yt shorts subscribers. I only want those that actually like my long form videos to sub on the main channel. KZbin has a feature on shorts now where anyone can link their long form videos to their shorts so this could help a lot as well.

[@EnglishStoryShared]

I don’t think so. Short can earn money

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

This is the insane part of any business, without the people there is no views and money, so it’s like what are people into and we gotta give them what they want.

[@TrunksBlvck]

Going through this now. Shorts are doing much better than my long-form. Bulk of my views and subscribers are from Shorts. Thinking once i hit 1k subs, I solely focus on long-form. CTR has been averaging less than 3%. Any advice?

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

make better thumbnails + video topics. my next video will cover this more

[@TrunksBlvck]

@@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT Looking forward to it💯

[@raskidon]

Finally someone has spoke on viral shots monetisation, I wanted to start KZbin shorts edits on podcast, but I don't know about monetisation

[@Jadrianvasquez]

🤯 .. awesome

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Thx G

[@jimmysrandomness]

This is true. And now, KZbin is flooded with new KZbin channels shorts because of the new minimum monetization requirements. Result: it's getting harder and harder to make your shorts go viral. I have 240 shorts, only 3 of which have gone viral. And this was during last spring's rush on shorts. And this while my shorts have only improved over time, but this didn't help unfortunately.😔

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@StreamerHaven141]

I support exactly what he is saying!. I noticed this Shorts and Long form mix up some months back.

[@DIGITALINCOMEPROJECT]

Thanks for the input! Another case study 🫡

[@TheHokkaidogaijin]

I had the same plan for my art channel and discovered the same thing you did. After I stopped posting shorts did my channel start to take off. One or the other, NOT both.

[@vscorpianc]

Thanks for sharing this information, very straight forward and makes perfect sense. Mixing shorts and long content does cause problems and it confuses your audience. Appreciate you sharing this! 💯

[@Just.A.Guy.On.Internet123]

I am only gonna say this, editing in this video is next level 🤩

[@GeorgeMartinus]

Thanks for sharing your experience, man. You literally save our valuable time.

[@BENBROS]

Yeah, this is sadly the fact, at least until now.

[@menoobun]

yes

[@the-boy-who-lived]

This happened to me too. I now not getting views for my long form content. What can I do now?

[@AvisPope]

I love the option to link a long form video to a short video. This was genius 💯👑🌻🥰

[@talielisegm]

I'm glad Ithis has popped up in my reccomended. Literally started grinding out YT shorts as well as long length videos. Welp shit 😆

[@legendshublh]

Hey can we Link up and share ideas together? Hope to hear from you soon 🔜 thanks

[@m1fe.x]

W advices , if you wanna start a channel , put more work in long-form and when u are sure u have a big fan base u can post shorts to attract more audicence

[@AYUSH-mu4zx]

thank you so much , i am learning video editing and making shorts is best way to learn editing and i will try to make long yt videos so that i can practise

[@RadvinM-old]

thanks a LOT!!! I am just starting out and was making the same mistake, long form 19 views and shorts 100+ stopping shorts cuz my niche NEEDS long form viewers

[@MMAGigabrain]

Great video. I started this shorts channel from nothing about a month ago and have gained 51 subs just from shorts. Now starting to make some long videos, and after seeing this video I think I will stick to them.. The thing is I started this channel because of creators you mentioned were saying there is some money in shorts, a bit disheartening tbh since I've pretty much learned only to make short videos, not long ones. Feels like I'm starting from scratch again. Thank you for this video 🤛

[@BaoVuongg]

Please make an update video if KZbin ever fixes this!

[@deviants__]

Appreciate your honesty

[@dankodev]

Honestly speaking, I think a lot of these "youtube automation" channels fail is because their content is low quality. As a viewer, it's easy to tell that they're only in it for the money and don't actually care about the things they talk about. If you look at passionate creators who make high-quality videos, they're extremely successful with Shorts. The difference between the get-rich-quick people and actual creators is that creators think about their audience and love what they do instead of being obsessed with clicks and money. People are not dumb and they can tell when you're giving it your all.

[@DiferSurvival]

QUESTION: What about using shorts to get an audience and then start with long form content? or should I make another channel for shorts? I'd really appreciate some clarification since I wanted to do long-form content but started with shorts instead.

[@Vanillahairco]

Truly the most valuable info on shorts, thank you!

[@cabuud16]

Great editing, want learn how to edit like you

[@Chipmunksandsquirrels]

Thank you so much this was very helpful. I just posted 14 shorts to start my channel. But when my cameras come in I want to do long for and live streams

[@gamecontent1.]

This is my KZbin shorts channel, I just started this week and I post gaming videos. Great video man!
