I'm in the process of getting monetized finally. I posted 3+ shorts per day, 5 days a week, For 3 months, and now I'm waiting on the tax form to go through and to receive the pin number. Wish me luck y'all. 🙏🏿

To the one reading this " DON'T EVER GIVE UP! " We can do it!

I tried telling long stories using SHORT videos. I took a story for 3-4 minutes and cut it into 4-6 series and it worked really well. If one part of history explodes that other parts have views too.

I’ve started posting shorts to my main channel for almost a month now and have a few approaching 500k-1 million views. What I’ve noticed is that videos about a 10% click through rate and longer than 75% watch time tend to take off after about a week, it’s never been sooner in my experience so far but obviously your results could vary. So with the winners I just copy and paste the title on a similar topic video and just change the topic in the title but keep the sentence structure and the “emotion” words the same and post the video. In my experience so far I’ve seen that in 4 out of 6 times I’ve done this the video has performed better than the other.

It’s kind of crazy how much quicker your channel could grow from shorts vs long form content with a fraction of the time invested. I definitely think it’s something small channels like ours could use to take off this year. I’m not an expert by means but I figured I’d drop my experience here for someone that might take something out of it. Good luck guys!

To my fellow creators, let us not give up. Each little effort and push matters a lot, we will definitely get there. We got this family.

I've actually found myself searching for something and watching the shorts for something like a recipe or editing tricks. I'm typically familiar with how to do it but want a refresher and in less than a minute I get condensed to the point video (how to cook a burger). I could be refreshing on how to cook it, what seasoning, a burger sauce, ideas for toppings and a short would answer a lot of these in seconds. If it's more niche of a problem that's when I search for a long form video (what oil is best).

Also, I've been using shorts to gauge if what I typed into search is correct to my specific scenario. Skimming a few shorts let's me see how common a problem is before investing the time to skim a long form video.

Just some interesting habits I've noticed I've picked up. I don't typically use TikTok but I don't feel like I would search things similarly on there so I'm curious how bad some content would perform cross platform.

Perfect timing! I was literally just about to post a long form (5 minute video) but it feels like the potential reach is going to be lower with long form content as opposed to shorts, because shorts immediately appear in the shorts feed.

Current popularity of the Shorts is definitely something what we need to use to draw attention to our channels effectively.
Thank you for sharing these valuable information with us! 😊

Thank you for helping us to reach a bigger audience.
One thing I have learned from the past months working on my channel is that sometimes "luck" makes you successful or unsuccessful.
Sometimes luck becomes your friend and some of your short videos go viral sometimes not.
I told this to a friend and then he told me that the harder you work the more luck you get. It is 100% true but I would say this will make you luckier for around 20%-30%, but luck still exists.

I’ve been using shorts pretty recently and they’ve been doing better than my actual videos but at the same time helping those videos get more views, thanks for the advice guys !!! 💚

[Tori_candraw]

Loved how concise and packed the video was, can’t wait to try some of these out!!❤

[storytimewithunclebill]

Thanks so much for all the useful tips and information. Havent been leaning to Shorts, but might have to after hearing this. Really cool you added channels that might help. Was fun and informative to watch. Great video

[KENCHARLES.N]

i only got 8M after 90 days and i believe 10M is manageable. what i noticed about shorts (at least on my part) only 1 gets views when you upload 2/more shorts at the same time or time scheds that are close to each other. what i did to resolve that is i delete the 1 that didn't get views then reupload it the next day..

[empathictimes]

Really appreciate all these tips. As a small channel in the independent media “News” niche, it’s a slog lol. It’s a lot of what people don’t really want to see cuz ya know, it’s the news lol. Wish there was more content on the tubes on elevating in that particular niche but I still find so many of these tips & tricks helpful so thank you!!! Just gotta keep going 😅

[coziosity]

This is great advice! Just decided to increase the number of shorts we post weekly in order to hopefully see better growth 👍

[WhateverPotter]

I get the 10 million shorts views in one month, and all i gotta say is keep uploading good quality shorts at least twice a day.

[Wondering_About_Nature]

Wow. This was just what I needed this morning. Such great ideas. Thanks for putting it together being so concise and showing examples.

[MellowMutated]

Hope everyone reaches their goals in 2023!

Very nice and informative video! What about long-form content that focuses on topics in my niche for shorts? I am a non-commentary gaming channel and I want to break them down into tiny parts of videos into a short. Is there a way to do it?

[vendico]

I was wondering how many attempts you get to apply for monetisation. I remember it being 2 attempts and if you get rejected both times you can’t apply again. Is this still the rule or has it changed?
