I created a full course on how I make my shorts that get 10+ Million views and how I grew my 2nd channel 200k subscribers in 2 months. Check it out here: geni.us/AxM2i
Amazing video... YOU HAVE WAY MOOOORE patience then me. I was convinced I will follow through with this experiment doe 30 days but I got scared after 6 days.. I saw that shorts were hurting my channel. People were starting to unsubscribe. After watching your video, I believe my approach was wrong. You did the right thing. Now that I watched your entire video and your experience... OK... I am ready to give it another try. I am finding that we have very much the same approach to our main channels. You prefer long term tutorials... same here... here and there I try to do a trendy video. You have absolutely more experience then me and it absolutely shows... all I have to say is thank you very much for creating this video.. . many greetings to you and to your family.
Thank RUclips for recommending this, I was already losing my enthusiasm towards my channel yesterday... Thanks for making me believe again.... I'm hyped now more than ever ❤🎉
the format you use for your shorts is excellent. Keeps me engaged. I have been using shorts since they started it. No money in it but definitely helps exposing new viewers to the channel. Thanks for the info.
Very timely video Jeven! Started our channel about a year ago with no idea what we were doing, still figuring things out. But posting shorts several times a week has improved our dismal situation. Love your work and appreciate you!
Amazing! After watching numerous videos on 'how to grow a RUclips channel', I stumbled upon your content and it's the first time I've truly comprehended the subject matter. Your clarity in explaining the concepts coupled with visually demonstrating them makes it incredibly easy to grasp. You've not only earned my subscription but also my invaluable view time. Thank you!
Hey Jeven, I recently found your channel after diving into drone videography and your videos helped me to settle on getting my first drone. I'm a huge outdoor adventurer when it comes to jeeping, rock climbing and mtn biking so your channel has been a great inspiration for the kind of work I'd like to start making as I become familiar with videography. Thanks for all your work I really enjoy it!
I have accepted the challenge - 30 days of shorts - I’m 7 days into it and have seen a lot of improvement - adding 24 subscribers in 7 days so far. I’ve neglected the channel for a long time and finally have time to work on it. Thanks for the push!
How do you do please help me im swedish have hard to understand. Im new to everything started friday do u think my short are ok ? I don’t know how to film and stuff like that i just share life experience and my philosopical thoughts
Give it 60 days and you will kill your watch time on the longer content, already done it this year. I deleted the shorts a few days ago and now the watch time is creeping back up.
@@theHardwareBench So frustrating to see this happening to me. Sure my shorts are getting 10k views per hour currently but day by day I see my long format numbers dropping. This has to be the most ridiculous algorithm ever produced in social media history. I was thinking about making a seperate shorts channel back last year but then saw many videos saying don't do it because they are going to tweak the system to make the shorts help the long format. All lies.
@@DiskiDomain Even if you do a shorts channel and keep getting 10000 views you will still need to do 1000 of them in 3 months to get monetised, is it worth it?
Also have to take in consideration you are known. Results will vary depending on if you already have a community or not. And it doesn't matter if you share the new channel with others, just about 932k viewers already know your face and content and will go watch where they can find you.
Good point. My channel is dead af 😂 i uploaded 5 shorts a day for 30 days & got some great results considering how dead my channel is. Im going to be making a video on it next week
@@Uzumakianimeedit ive dealt with the same thing thinking im shadow banned but youtube doesnt shadow ban based on my research. Especially for us nonames. sometimes something just isnt interesting or its titled poorly. Gets skipped so much that youtube stops pushing it into the algorithm. Ive changed titles before, added more tags but sometimes i have to just accept the short that i thought was great just wasnt. And try in again with my next short. ALSO after viewing your short it could be the music causing it to get blocked. Happened to me and youtube didnt even notify me about it
Would be really interested in the results after 100 days. Only made a couple shorts but you nailed it. Views skyrocket and then flatline. Probably time to try this challenge 👍🏻
Hey, thanks, man, for this video; I am in the process of starting my channel and was very unsure of the direction, whether to focus on shorts or long-form. However, after watching this, everything clicked, and I have a clear picture of how everything fits together. Thanks again, man; for me, this video was gold!
I've been doing shorts for several months now and I've grown my longform content plus my channel dramatically in the process. Great work and I look forward to your next update.
Thanks for the video. I have a camping and outdoors channel and it's gowning slowly, which is fine, I absolutely love making these video. I am a professional television producer but I make RUclips videos because I have a passion for the great outdoors and filmmaking. Shorts still confuse me. I prefer to make long form content but I was curious to see if Shorts could help my channel. I appreciate you doing this test and I am glad you are having success at it. Thanks Jevon!
We're just getting started as a channel and I'm a single father of an amazing little boy. So being as busy as one would expect, I started clipping shorts from our long form to supplement down time. And I have noticed literally everything you said in this video, just on a much smaller scale. So thank you for the insight which has translated to positive reassurance for me! And yes, the 100 day analytics would be great.
Well done Jeven- long term sub. & I know you've had your battles with growth, but you're turning a negative into a positive -think I'm gonna take a leaf from your book! 😊
Thank you for this video. I have done the 30day shorts and they did not take off as expected. But I have realized that my channel was not yet decided on what direction to take. So I am going to try the 100shorts for a new channel in April. And also post 5 long form videos in week one. This has been very helpful content
Nailed it. Great visuals, honest feedback, and truth in how your second channel (which is relatable to many smaller channels) grew based off of your own experiment. Great vid Jeven
Thank you for this amazing information! I want to try it again. I have some viral shorts, but the problem is being regular in posting, and sometimes the strange algorithm kills my motivation. However, you have given us the key.... we need to tell stories, especially our own stories.
I loved this video so much, thank you for sharing your insight! I just made a channel and started uploading regularly this February, and shorts were a main focus for growing my channel. Your experience with shorts at the beginning of the video is just like mine. It is very reassuring that there can be a break through. This motivated me beyond belief, and I will definitely be implementing your tips too to see if it works for me as well. Who knows, maybe I do a 30 day challenge! Thanks again!
You are correct in the way those patterns work, Jeven! I've seen similar behavior with my channel with a peak at the beginning then grinding to a halt; it's good to see that, sometimes, they start moving up again and change behavior and not completely be dead. There is hope! Thanks for the helpful tips. ~John
This is actually really good video about shorts. It's confirmed I'm on the right track with what I'm doing. I really appreciate the depth you have with your experience.
Yes, please do a follow-up on the analytics! I just found you while looking into how to start my own hiking/ backpacking channel, and I am already hooked! Great content, excellent delivery: I really dig it!
This is music to my ears as I'd given up on shorts due to so many people saying that narrative based shorts don't work. All the advice was just post single shot simple shorts and I want to have a narrative. My channel has stopped really growing recently because I stopped doing tech video as well as adventure video to just concentrate on the outdoors videos. I'm going to try this! maybe 6 shorts a week and then a long form video once a week.
Trying this out for the next 30 days! So far about 6 days in and seeing some decent results (channel just starting so small) and excited to see how the short platform continues to grow :)
I've started doing some shorts for a RUclips channel I help maintain. The success has been minimal (compared to your numbers), but to me it's been really exciting. So I've got three different ideas I want to create RUclips channels for. I think I'll start one at a time.
Really interesting insights! I have only just started my channel and shorts are helping grow the most. Posting 3-4 per week at the moment and usually one 'takes off' with a couple of thousand views (compared to 100 views), and always gives the channel a view new subscribers. After watching this I might up-it to 1 short per day and see what happens. Thanks for the video Jeven.
Hi Jeven, I accepted the challenge with a small twist. So far my shorts are doing pretty good. I really struggle with uploading on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing valuable information. Have a wonderful day. ❤😊
@@heartsoulandmind That's fantastic!! Just keeping posting videos. You need atleast 79 videos to get a ideas what your future subscribers might want. Learning to read your analytics is the key to your success. Have a great day. Thanks for the chat. I hope you keep in touch. 🏃 🤣
Ive been starting to create shorts. I noticed exactly what you are telling. They go way up, but stop after a few hours. Thanks for the insights, i hope i will be able to make good enough content for my watchers.
This is the most insightful and transparent video I’ve seen on the experimentation and discussion between short and long form videos. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This was really great! This same thing with shorts even happens for extremely small channels like mine. I see a boost in the beginning then totally flatlines. This gives me hope to keep going. Thanks ❤
You are absolutely correct. The shorts have actually gotten more subscribers than the long form videos for me. And the quick 1k-3k views followed by a flatline is exactly what I've experienced. I also had 1 or 2 shorts that got the quick rise, flat line and then another quick rise. One did about 2500 views, flatlined and an hour or so later, it did another 4000 views in a matter or minutes. But overall those 15-20 second shorts usually get me 8 to 10 hours of view time and 8 to 15 subscribers for just a few moments of quick editing. So it's definitely worth it to me when I'm still working to get monetized! ✈🌎
This might be the single best video ive see on how to approach shorts. And ive been doing it all wrong. Thanks for putting this video out, im going to sit back and rethink my strategy and use some of your tips from the notes i took down to try and grow my channel.
Extremely helpful. I love the experiment and how you documented it. Plus making the video is just more views. I really admire the approach. As a small channel, I’m interested how I can implement these small stories. Keep the experiments coming. Looking forward to 100 days.
Well yes! I will make a plan to create shorts. I know part of your success was consistency, and I also appreciate your ideas on what kinds of shorts to make.
ty for this super cool vid! I love how the rhythm of your speech sounds like a real person & not another 'trending bot counting beans', also jumping into it w/o a lengthy intro & saying 'let's jump into it' 🤓 I'm hooked. I'm a fan. I'll come back here just to listen to you talk. It's cathartic 👍🏼
Great insights, Jeven! I am seeing the same patterns for the shorts on my channel. Glad to hear it got better around half the way. I will give a shot on doing it for 30 days straight to see what happens. Thank you for the infos, brother. Cheers from Brazil. =)
I’m really glad you shared this. I was disheartened seeing my shorts gain a short burst of views then stop. Didn’t know it was common, this motivated me. Thanks!
I haven't watched your main channel in a while though I'm a subscriber for a long time. Recently your shorts showed up on my time-line in the last couple days. I was surprised to see it, but it was well put. The strategy you have for shorts with storytelling works very well
We’re already doing shorts and they are indeed great to grow a channel with two caveats: 1) they don’t count towards 4000h (mind if you’re just starting - we will hit 1k soon, but won’t have enough watchtime) 2) as you mentioned it’s important to make shorts similar to what the main videos are, so your audience will watch them, otherwise it may be a handicap if your subscribers won’t even watch your videos they will be less promoted on RUclips
They will kill watch time on the long videos, I just deleted all mine and the watch time is starting to creep back up. About 6 weeks to recover according to other RUclipsrs who have been in the same boat.
I've been posting 1 - 2 shorts daily for about a week now and I'm seeing the number very similar to yours. You have inspired me to continue. Numbers don't Lie. thank you.
I'm getting close to 30 days, no big success yet. Still grinding. I like your idea of short stories and then also trying to loop it, already have some ideas so thanks!
Just launched a new channel to compliment our new life in the Philippines so adding "shorts" a few times a week will hopefully help to promote us. Thanks Jeven.
Really great video here. Interesting to see how this has progressed for you. I'm not a big Shorts guy, but I've noticed a few of mine starting to get more views, couple thousand here or there, and some of my old Shorts are getting new views too. Good stuff.
Thanks for the tip on Captionator. Will definitely check it out. That's certainly. key.. is having captions on the video that are engaging. I like the idea of a 30 day short challenge. Will get me some practice, and get my brain more focused on how to do short form. I expect pretty crappy shorts for a while though !! I would like some additional followuip.. maybe how you do shorts from beginning to end.. without giving away all the secret sauce !!
This is enlightenment! My channel just started 30 days ago with 30 short video, having the same pattern as you mentione in the video. After seeing so many other video about "how to grow youtube channel' with repeated content talking about "follow trending", "be patient" bla bla... your advce is so far the most sincere & practical. Thank you so much for the sharing, thank for helping newbie like us
I have watched many videos about how to get my shorts working or why I'm stuck etc.., but they do not explain anything. You do. You do, very well. Thank you.
Hey Jeven, great video and great insight. We like how you broke it down into a science and explained the strategy behind putting the short together. We've seen similar shorts before but it didn't click with us what it can do until this video. We are at day 7 of daily shorts and already seeing some improvements on the channel. Will update this one the day 30th. Thank you! 😀👍
@happycorn3r We did finish the 30-day challenge. Overall, it was a growth in a subscribers count, but nothing really crazy, maybe 10% more than our regular growth. But we quickly realized that the subscribers from the short format are not interested in our long format. And we prefer creating long form videos. So, this strategy does not really align with us. But we believe if the subscribers count is important, then this can be a good tool to gain subscribers. However, they won't necessarily become your viewers or part of the community.
That Ecuador short made me emotional. I am Ecuadorian and haven’t been able to afford going back due to hip surgery. I hope I can make content and live my life the way you do.
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.
Thanks Jeven! Glad this came up on my feed. I just started a channel on HTML/CSS and coding. It works great for Shorts, but I was discouraged at first because of the information saying that it didn't help for the main channel. But, I'm glad to see by your research that it is not the case. I will try and implemenet this in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to see your results for the 100 day experiement!
I've noticed the 1 hour effect on every short I've done. I've kind of given up on shorts because I haven't figured out how to make them work for what I want to do with my channel, but your video is making me reconsider. If I pull a bit out of a long to get some visibility, my subscribers occasionally mention they'd already seen it in the long. And making a short ad for my channel isn't of interest to shorts viewers really. So I need unique content that's suited to short form. Perhaps some content I cut out of the long so we have a "theme" based on current content on my channel, but it would still be unique to viewers. Of course, I can't just make shorts out of the garbage parts. It needs to be interesting, but it needs to be unique.
You nailed it 100%. I think of a short as a “movie trailer” with that movie trailer you know the parts you watched are in the movie. That trailer has the exciting parts in it to build the suspense to make you want to see the actual movie. Find those exciting moments in long form to hook in “new subscribers”. The shorts aren’t for the current supporters, it’s for the new people. Plus the short content is giving you new exposure to more people. You got this. Let’s goooooooo!
Good stuff here! I've enjoyed creating shorts. It's quicker than long-form and I can reuse content. Plus I don't necessarily need my editing software program. I'd like to see more of your results. Maybe tricks to using short features as well.
Thank you Jeven for very good tips. That's what I need right now. I am working on Shorts recently to have my channels in new audience' history. Very good tips❤
Great advice Jevyn, just started doing some of this with my channel. I find I put a heap of effort into shooting a 15-30 minute video and pick up a handful of subscribers a week. Then I experimented with a few shorts, and am getting lots of new subscribers lately from those with heaps less work.
I just started making videos and I’m starting with shorts, mostly because I do short sketch comedy style videos, my first video bombed but the last 2 I did got around 2k views each and I don’t think I’d be able to do that with longer videos, so I think it’s probably a great way to start out your channel and experiment with some ideas and see what works and doesn’t. Great video btw :)
For your main channel. Would you do the same thing or worry that you’d be posting to much short form content on your main channel? Thoughts on a completely separate shorts channel vs adding to main? Thanks man
Hello there, watching from Derbyshire, England. I found this video really interesting. It seems RUclips shorts have been a bit of a roulette, some can perform really well, others not so well. Thanks for the tips, I will try to create my metal detecting / history shorts in more of a story fashion. Keep up the amazing work, your channel is awesome, so close to 1 million subscribers, that's such an awesome achievement
OMG! I am on day 6 of posting shorts and it's fascinating to see how different they are all performing. I had one that only got 4 views in the past 12 hours and one that got 350 views in only 3 hours (the majority of them actually). Considering that my channel is basically new, it's a great result.
@@Jackthetraveller You gotta make tge videos with more thoughts. Those are just 10 sec quote. Wont work. And make use of hashtags in title and description
I agree with you Jeven, I started my new channel almost 2 weeks ago. What I see is that (as you mentioned) YT shows my shorts then it goes in a smooth way. Lets see after which period the algorithm will push my shorts more and more :) thank you, much appreciated
Making 30 shorts in 30 days is a great idea for several reasons. First, it helps to develop discipline and consistency in the creative process. By committing to creating a short film every day for a month, you are forced to come up with new ideas and push yourself to create something new and unique each day. Second, it allows for experimentation and exploration of different film styles and techniques. With each short, you have the opportunity to try something new, whether it's experimenting with different camera angles or exploring a new genre. Finally, making 30 shorts in 30 days can help to build a portfolio of work that can be used to showcase your skills and creativity. It can be a great way to gain exposure and build a following, as well as a stepping stone towards larger projects in the future. Overall, making 30 shorts in 30 days is a challenging but rewarding experience that can help to develop skills, build a portfolio, and push creative boundaries.
@@DylanDalalseriously. That comes off as so fake from a channel with no shorts, on top of the 1, 2, 3 formatting (First, second, finally and the “help to 1, 2, and 3” at the end)
Yes please do a follow up. Nobody share what happens after 30 days. Do you get burn out? For your info I have stopped shorts because it does not "suggest" my long videos on the right bar. It only "suggest" my shorts which tend to lead viewers to the short feed and NOT my channel.
How do you have enough content to post that much? And how long are you taking on each short as far as editing them? I’m a full time student and find it hard to find the time to focus all my effort in my videos!
This video right here, is exactly what HOPE sounds like. We are noticing the exact same thing on our channel. The flatlining is actually getting to us. We are a comedy duo and are doing skits on Shorts on our channel. We just completed 30 days on RUclips and have gained a total of 105 subscribers (we started from absolute 0). However, none of the content has really gone viral, although the audience reception has been pretty decent (like ratio etc). Still waiting for our big break, we will keep grinding in our shorts, hopefully one day something will hit. Thanks for this video Jeven!! If anyone is reading this, would be great if you could give us some feedback, as a Shorts only channel that is the thing that we are missing at the moment.
Your self-belief is the nucleus, rendering the concept of "impossible" null and void. As you curate top-notch content for your audience, watch as your channel experiences an explosive upsurge. Continue steadfastly, and your diligence will yield its well-earned returns!
Tripled my subscribers 💪 And got over 1 million views in December 📈 Just focussed a bit more on shorts and see what my audience wants. Made some hooks that were interesting or funny and provided value to the user. Definitely helped a lot 👍 Also thanks for the video, it’s great and helpful 🙏
Yesss! This is the video I’ve been waiting for 🤗 I’m a creator and mostly doing shorts to practice and promote my channel. This video is timely and very helpful. Super informative and thanks loads 👍
You are one of the rare educators who talks nicely calm and understandable, instead of those nervous ones who almost choke in front of the camera because they want to talk faster than sound 😀 That is so nerve wrecking! Shorts can definitely bring you more attention to your channel, however they will be dead subs most of the time I'm a afraid. But I'm not pretending to know it all here, I have a wee hobby channel, but it's always good to learn new things.
I am happy for you, that you got a good amount of subscribers and views in the 30 day timespan. I've started my RUclips Shorts adventure about 8 days ago. I have to say: it's a rollercoaster. The first few day I got a good amount of views, but for the last 2 days I got around 2 views (dramatic). I'm curious where this goes. Thanks for the insights.
Your viewpoints are most insightful. We also started this challenge of making ~30 shorts in 30 days with a new channel. We have seen tremendous progress in both views and # of subscribers. Thanks 🙇
Great info on shorts Jeven. My motorcycle travel channel is just a few months old (since I started posting in November last year). I experimented with a few shorts here and there. I see the same pattern on shorts that you describe (just my numbers are much lower, probably due to being a very small / new channel) - though was able to get most of my shorts over 1k views. For my content, what worked were 10 - 20 second shots that showed me riding through a series of curves, having to avoid collision with cows/sheep in rural areas). I have never done 30 in 30 type of experiment with shorts. I will push myself to it. I will try longer ones 30 -60 seconds with voiceover the running titles. Thank you for the tip for the app for it - previously I tried to add this manually!
I love the content that you produce on this channel. Your tips have been super helpful for me, and now I'm eager to experiment with shorts as well to help grow my channel. I'll make sure to stop by your 2nd channel to see what you are doing there. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to create better videos.
Loved the video very much....Thank you so much for your info, appreciated! I didn't take Shorts seriously..but, from today onward, I am definitely going to work on it. In BTW, 80%-100%+ watch-time on shorts, that's really amazing, Hats Off to you!
That's a really cool experiment! Glad you did it. I'd be interested in seeing your process in making shorts, especially if you batch them. BTW, I really enjoyed the Alaska video too. 😎
Interesting feedback . Most of the videos I’ve seen are about faceless or ai generated content. Glad to see more original content creators creating shorts! I found my niche in cheerleading and just started a 30 day short challenge . Was started to get a little disheartened that I have not been getting massive views but after watching your video it helped me understand to be more patient and forge on !
Thanks for this info! I’m just starting my channel and have been posting one a day for the past 10ish days. Glad to hear they can take off after the first day! Appreciate you!
Awesome analysis, thank you for showing us. I’ve seen that two step trend a lot but I think you cracked the code for more views and consistent growth with shorts!! Very cool!!

Would be really interested in the results after 100 days. Only made a couple shorts but you nailed it. Views skyrocket and then flatline. Probably time to try this challenge 👍🏻
Same with me
Done Please 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
Hey, thanks, man, for this video; I am in the process of starting my channel and was very unsure of the direction, whether to focus on shorts or long-form. However, after watching this, everything clicked, and I have a clear picture of how everything fits together. Thanks again, man; for me, this video was gold!
That reach gain is dope. Wondered how shorts reacted by posting daily and you helped all of us sort it out. 🤘🏻
I've been doing shorts for several months now and I've grown my longform content plus my channel dramatically in the process. Great work and I look forward to your next update.
Whats your channel name?
Thanks for the video. I have a camping and outdoors channel and it's gowning slowly, which is fine, I absolutely love making these video. I am a professional television producer but I make RUclips videos because I have a passion for the great outdoors and filmmaking. Shorts still confuse me. I prefer to make long form content but I was curious to see if Shorts could help my channel. I appreciate you doing this test and I am glad you are having success at it. Thanks Jevon!
We're just getting started as a channel and I'm a single father of an amazing little boy. So being as busy as one would expect, I started clipping shorts from our long form to supplement down time. And I have noticed literally everything you said in this video, just on a much smaller scale. So thank you for the insight which has translated to positive reassurance for me! And yes, the 100 day analytics would be great.
maybe you can vlog on how to raise a boy as a single father? Would be a great content
Done Please ✅🖤🖤🖤🖤✅🖤
Well done Jeven- long term sub. & I know you've had your battles with growth, but you're turning a negative into a positive -think I'm gonna take a leaf from your book! 😊
Done Please ❤✅✅✅❤
Thank you for this video. I have done the 30day shorts and they did not take off as expected. But I have realized that my channel was not yet decided on what direction to take. So I am going to try the 100shorts for a new channel in April. And also post 5 long form videos in week one.
This has been very helpful content
I’m all in for the update. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish in 100 days
Great insight, Jeven! And happy to hear that your adventure channel is skyrocketting!
Nailed it. Great visuals, honest feedback, and truth in how your second channel (which is relatable to many smaller channels) grew based off of your own experiment.
Great vid Jeven
Thank you for this amazing information! I want to try it again. I have some viral shorts, but the problem is being regular in posting, and sometimes the strange algorithm kills my motivation. However, you have given us the key.... we need to tell stories, especially our own stories.
And it needs to match the rest of your content. Always thing audience first.
Hello! I'm new! Can we be eligible for applying RUclips Partner Program and get monetized if we created edited anime content?
I loved this video so much, thank you for sharing your insight! I just made a channel and started uploading regularly this February, and shorts were a main focus for growing my channel. Your experience with shorts at the beginning of the video is just like mine. It is very reassuring that there can be a break through. This motivated me beyond belief, and I will definitely be implementing your tips too to see if it works for me as well. Who knows, maybe I do a 30 day challenge! Thanks again!
You are correct in the way those patterns work, Jeven! I've seen similar behavior with my channel with a peak at the beginning then grinding to a halt; it's good to see that, sometimes, they start moving up again and change behavior and not completely be dead. There is hope! Thanks for the helpful tips. ~John
Done Please 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is actually really good video about shorts. It's confirmed I'm on the right track with what I'm doing. I really appreciate the depth you have with your experience.
Yes, please do a follow-up on the analytics! I just found you while looking into how to start my own hiking/ backpacking channel, and I am already hooked! Great content, excellent delivery: I really dig it!
This is music to my ears as I'd given up on shorts due to so many people saying that narrative based shorts don't work. All the advice was just post single shot simple shorts and I want to have a narrative.
My channel has stopped really growing recently because I stopped doing tech video as well as adventure video to just concentrate on the outdoors videos. I'm going to try this! maybe 6 shorts a week and then a long form video once a week.
Thanks for sharing, Devin. I've been hesitant to start doing short form content. This video helps clarify the pros and cons. Thanks!
It’s worth testing and seeing how they work for your niche. Shorts are getting 50 billion views a day according to RUclips
Yeah!!!! I finally see someone posting Chinese content on RUclips!!
Trying this out for the next 30 days! So far about 6 days in and seeing some decent results (channel just starting so small) and excited to see how the short platform continues to grow :)
I've started doing some shorts for a RUclips channel I help maintain. The success has been minimal (compared to your numbers), but to me it's been really exciting. So I've got three different ideas I want to create RUclips channels for. I think I'll start one at a time.
Man, thanks, I definitely will look into starting to make more shorts and of course go back to making regular videos. Great video.
Really interesting insights! I have only just started my channel and shorts are helping grow the most. Posting 3-4 per week at the moment and usually one 'takes off' with a couple of thousand views (compared to 100 views), and always gives the channel a view new subscribers. After watching this I might up-it to 1 short per day and see what happens.
Thanks for the video Jeven.
Hi Jeven,
I accepted the challenge with a small twist. So far my shorts are doing pretty good. I really struggle with uploading on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing valuable information. Have a wonderful day. ❤😊
same here...but I was able to upload 16 shorts only and got a 14 subscriber without me doing any promotion.
@@heartsoulandmind That's fantastic!! Just keeping posting videos. You need atleast 79 videos to get a ideas what your future subscribers might want. Learning to read your analytics is the key to your success. Have a great day. Thanks for the chat. I hope you keep in touch. 🏃 🤣
@@CreativeThinking52 that's my next thing to do...analyze my analytics. No idea yet how, but will do my best to figure it out.
Major improvement in taking these steps, it really does help the channel, and shorts are the reason we make content! Challenge accepted
Ive been starting to create shorts. I noticed exactly what you are telling. They go way up, but stop after a few hours. Thanks for the insights, i hope i will be able to make good enough content for my watchers.
The same thing happens to me!
This is the most insightful and transparent video I’ve seen on the experimentation and discussion between short and long form videos. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This was really great! This same thing with shorts even happens for extremely small channels like mine. I see a boost in the beginning then totally flatlines. This gives me hope to keep going. Thanks ❤
You are absolutely correct. The shorts have actually gotten more subscribers than the long form videos for me. And the quick 1k-3k views followed by a flatline is exactly what I've experienced. I also had 1 or 2 shorts that got the quick rise, flat line and then another quick rise. One did about 2500 views, flatlined and an hour or so later, it did another 4000 views in a matter or minutes. But overall those 15-20 second shorts usually get me 8 to 10 hours of view time and 8 to 15 subscribers for just a few moments of quick editing. So it's definitely worth it to me when I'm still working to get monetized! ✈🌎
This might be the single best video ive see on how to approach shorts. And ive been doing it all wrong. Thanks for putting this video out, im going to sit back and rethink my strategy and use some of your tips from the notes i took down to try and grow my channel.
Extremely helpful. I love the experiment and how you documented it. Plus making the video is just more views. I really admire the approach.
As a small channel, I’m interested how I can implement these small stories. Keep the experiments coming. Looking forward to 100 days.
Yes
Let's try these experiments
Well yes! I will make a plan to create shorts. I know part of your success was consistency, and I also appreciate your ideas on what kinds of shorts to make.
This was helpful! I'll definitely keep making shorts even though they don't get much attention yet, hopefully with time they will 🙏
ty for this super cool vid! I love how the rhythm of your speech sounds like a real person & not another 'trending bot counting beans', also jumping into it w/o a lengthy intro & saying 'let's jump into it' 🤓 I'm hooked. I'm a fan. I'll come back here just to listen to you talk. It's cathartic 👍🏼
Great insights, Jeven! I am seeing the same patterns for the shorts on my channel. Glad to hear it got better around half the way. I will give a shot on doing it for 30 days straight to see what happens. Thank you for the infos, brother. Cheers from Brazil. =)
I’m really glad you shared this. I was disheartened seeing my shorts gain a short burst of views then stop. Didn’t know it was common, this motivated me. Thanks!
I haven't watched your main channel in a while though I'm a subscriber for a long time. Recently your shorts showed up on my time-line in the last couple days. I was surprised to see it, but it was well put. The strategy you have for shorts with storytelling works very well
Hello! I'm new! Can we be eligible for applying RUclips Partner Program and get monetized if we created edited anime content?
We are queueing up content but 30 shorts in 30 days is a great idea…we may try that. We have a ton of travel content. Great video!
We’re already doing shorts and they are indeed great to grow a channel with two caveats:
1) they don’t count towards 4000h (mind if you’re just starting - we will hit 1k soon, but won’t have enough watchtime)
2) as you mentioned it’s important to make shorts similar to what the main videos are, so your audience will watch them, otherwise it may be a handicap if your subscribers won’t even watch your videos they will be less promoted on RUclips
there's separate metric used for being monetized on yt shorts
They will kill watch time on the long videos, I just deleted all mine and the watch time is starting to creep back up. About 6 weeks to recover according to other RUclipsrs who have been in the same boat.
@@dietHuman69Yeah 10 million views in the past 90 days 🥺
@@MrsLannaI guess it’s now 3 million shorts views in 90 days + 3 longform videos
I've been posting 1 - 2 shorts daily for about a week now and I'm seeing the number very similar to yours. You have inspired me to continue. Numbers don't Lie. thank you.
I'm getting close to 30 days, no big success yet. Still grinding. I like your idea of short stories and then also trying to loop it, already have some ideas so thanks!
Want to earn money
I have done that for over 90 days now, some success but not greatly!
Hello! I'm new! Can we be eligible for applying RUclips Partner Program and get monetized if we created edited anime content?
Just launched a new channel to compliment our new life in the Philippines so adding "shorts" a few times a week will hopefully help to promote us. Thanks Jeven.
Did a short a day for 30 days, and now I am doing 2 shorts a day for 15 days! BLESS ME ALGORITHM! Thanks for the inspiration Jeven!
You have a good niche keep up the good work
@@Zubdah thanks Daily! 🙏🏻
Done Please ✅❤✅✅❤
Really great video here. Interesting to see how this has progressed for you. I'm not a big Shorts guy, but I've noticed a few of mine starting to get more views, couple thousand here or there, and some of my old Shorts are getting new views too. Good stuff.
Thanks for the tip on Captionator. Will definitely check it out. That's certainly. key.. is having captions on the video that are engaging. I like the idea of a 30 day short challenge. Will get me some practice, and get my brain more focused on how to do short form. I expect pretty crappy shorts for a while though !! I would like some additional followuip.. maybe how you do shorts from beginning to end.. without giving away all the secret sauce !!
This is enlightenment! My channel just started 30 days ago with 30 short video, having the same pattern as you mentione in the video. After seeing so many other video about "how to grow youtube channel' with repeated content talking about "follow trending", "be patient" bla bla... your advce is so far the most sincere & practical. Thank you so much for the sharing, thank for helping newbie like us
Check out my follow up to this video: ruclips.net/video/Ts0YmSZjYsk/видео.html
So helpful Jevin! We are still trying to figure out how shorts fit into our flow. Yes, please do a follow up video after your 100 day experiment!
I have watched many videos about how to get my shorts working or why I'm stuck etc.., but they do not explain anything. You do. You do, very well. Thank you.
Hey Jeven, great video and great insight. We like how you broke it down into a science and explained the strategy behind putting the short together. We've seen similar shorts before but it didn't click with us what it can do until this video. We are at day 7 of daily shorts and already seeing some improvements on the channel. Will update this one the day 30th. Thank you! 😀👍
Done Please ❤❤✅❤🫡
@happycorn3r We did finish the 30-day challenge. Overall, it was a growth in a subscribers count, but nothing really crazy, maybe 10% more than our regular growth. But we quickly realized that the subscribers from the short format are not interested in our long format. And we prefer creating long form videos. So, this strategy does not really align with us. But we believe if the subscribers count is important, then this can be a good tool to gain subscribers. However, they won't necessarily become your viewers or part of the community.
That Ecuador short made me emotional. I am Ecuadorian and haven’t been able to afford going back due to hip surgery. I hope I can make content and live my life the way you do.
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.
Done Please 🖤✅🖤✅🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤✅✅✅✅✅
Thanks Jeven! Glad this came up on my feed. I just started a channel on HTML/CSS and coding. It works great for Shorts, but I was discouraged at first because of the information saying that it didn't help for the main channel. But, I'm glad to see by your research that it is not the case. I will try and implemenet this in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to see your results for the 100 day experiement!
I've noticed the 1 hour effect on every short I've done. I've kind of given up on shorts because I haven't figured out how to make them work for what I want to do with my channel, but your video is making me reconsider.
If I pull a bit out of a long to get some visibility, my subscribers occasionally mention they'd already seen it in the long. And making a short ad for my channel isn't of interest to shorts viewers really. So I need unique content that's suited to short form. Perhaps some content I cut out of the long so we have a "theme" based on current content on my channel, but it would still be unique to viewers. Of course, I can't just make shorts out of the garbage parts. It needs to be interesting, but it needs to be unique.
You nailed it 100%. I think of a short as a “movie trailer” with that movie trailer you know the parts you watched are in the movie. That trailer has the exciting parts in it to build the suspense to make you want to see the actual movie.
Find those exciting moments in long form to hook in “new subscribers”. The shorts aren’t for the current supporters, it’s for the new people. Plus the short content is giving you new exposure to more people. You got this. Let’s goooooooo!
One of my shorts has really started taking off and it's growing my channel! Really excited.
Good stuff here! I've enjoyed creating shorts. It's quicker than long-form and I can reuse content. Plus I don't necessarily need my editing software program. I'd like to see more of your results. Maybe tricks to using short features as well.
I’m all in for the update. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish in 100 days
Thank you Jeven for very good tips. That's what I need right now. I am working on Shorts recently to have my channels in new audience' history. Very good tips❤
Great advice Jevyn, just started doing some of this with my channel.
I find I put a heap of effort into shooting a 15-30 minute video and pick up a handful of subscribers a week.
Then I experimented with a few shorts, and am getting lots of new subscribers lately from those with heaps less work.
This was really helpful and inspiring, I really liked what you said about being clear about your target audience and your goal for making shorts.
I am trying this as well hoping as a new content creator to get things going ! Appreciate all that you do to help us out!!!
Always great content from you! Appreciate your insight and helpful research!
I just started making videos and I’m starting with shorts, mostly because I do short sketch comedy style videos, my first video bombed but the last 2 I did got around 2k views each and I don’t think I’d be able to do that with longer videos, so I think it’s probably a great way to start out your channel and experiment with some ideas and see what works and doesn’t. Great video btw :)
For your main channel. Would you do the same thing or worry that you’d be posting to much short form content on your main channel? Thoughts on a completely separate shorts channel vs adding to main? Thanks man
Hello there, watching from Derbyshire, England. I found this video really interesting. It seems RUclips shorts have been a bit of a roulette, some can perform really well, others not so well. Thanks for the tips, I will try to create my metal detecting / history shorts in more of a story fashion. Keep up the amazing work, your channel is awesome, so close to 1 million subscribers, that's such an awesome achievement
OMG! I am on day 6 of posting shorts and it's fascinating to see how different they are all performing. I had one that only got 4 views in the past 12 hours and one that got 350 views in only 3 hours (the majority of them actually). Considering that my channel is basically new, it's a great result.
Please help me understand can u look if my is ok? I share my thpughts and philospical toughts im swedish have hard to understand
@@Jackthetraveller You gotta make tge videos with more thoughts. Those are just 10 sec quote. Wont work. And make use of hashtags in title and description
@@jeromsapologia how to you implement hashtags in the title ? Just using words you use in the tags section or using @ or # in the title ? THanks
I agree with you Jeven, I started my new channel almost 2 weeks ago. What I see is that (as you mentioned) YT shows my shorts then it goes in a smooth way. Lets see after which period the algorithm will push my shorts more and more :) thank you, much appreciated
Making 30 shorts in 30 days is a great idea for several reasons. First, it helps to develop discipline and consistency in the creative process. By committing to creating a short film every day for a month, you are forced to come up with new ideas and push yourself to create something new and unique each day.
Second, it allows for experimentation and exploration of different film styles and techniques. With each short, you have the opportunity to try something new, whether it's experimenting with different camera angles or exploring a new genre.
Finally, making 30 shorts in 30 days can help to build a portfolio of work that can be used to showcase your skills and creativity. It can be a great way to gain exposure and build a following, as well as a stepping stone towards larger projects in the future.
Overall, making 30 shorts in 30 days is a challenging but rewarding experience that can help to develop skills, build a portfolio, and push creative boundaries.
U use ChatGPT for this comment? lol
You can also make a bunch of shorts when you have time and schedule them.
@@DylanDalalseriously. That comes off as so fake from a channel with no shorts, on top of the 1, 2, 3 formatting (First, second, finally and the “help to 1, 2, and 3” at the end)

Yes please do a follow up. Nobody share what happens after 30 days. Do you get burn out? For your info I have stopped shorts because it does not "suggest" my long videos on the right bar. It only "suggest" my shorts which tend to lead viewers to the short feed and NOT my channel.
Stop it lol you're too good! Cheers so much and thanks for the heads up Chop Chop Recipes I apologise that heaps too 👍❤
How do you have enough content to post that much? And how long are you taking on each short as far as editing them? I’m a full time student and find it hard to find the time to focus all my effort in my videos!
This video right here, is exactly what HOPE sounds like. We are noticing the exact same thing on our channel. The flatlining is actually getting to us. We are a comedy duo and are doing skits on Shorts on our channel. We just completed 30 days on RUclips and have gained a total of 105 subscribers (we started from absolute 0). However, none of the content has really gone viral, although the audience reception has been pretty decent (like ratio etc). Still waiting for our big break, we will keep grinding in our shorts, hopefully one day something will hit. Thanks for this video Jeven!! If anyone is reading this, would be great if you could give us some feedback, as a Shorts only channel that is the thing that we are missing at the moment.
Thankyou for this video very helpful 🤍
Your self-belief is the nucleus, rendering the concept of "impossible" null and void. As you curate top-notch content for your audience, watch as your channel experiences an explosive upsurge. Continue steadfastly, and your diligence will yield its well-earned returns!
Tripled my subscribers 💪
And got over 1 million views in December 📈
Just focussed a bit more on shorts and see what my audience wants. Made some hooks that were interesting or funny and provided value to the user. Definitely helped a lot 👍

You are one of the rare educators who talks nicely calm and understandable, instead of those nervous ones who almost choke in front of the camera because they want to talk faster than sound 😀 That is so nerve wrecking!
Shorts can definitely bring you more attention to your channel, however they will be dead subs most of the time I'm a afraid. But I'm not pretending to know it all here, I have a wee hobby channel, but it's always good to learn new things.
Awesome Jeven! Love the insights on the viewership of the Shorts!!! Data is king. Please follow up.
Good luck towards your 1M subscribers!!
Appreciate it!
I am happy for you, that you got a good amount of subscribers and views in the 30 day timespan. I've started my RUclips Shorts adventure about 8 days ago. I have to say: it's a rollercoaster. The first few day I got a good amount of views, but for the last 2 days I got around 2 views (dramatic). I'm curious where this goes. Thanks for the insights.
Your viewpoints are most insightful. We also started this challenge of making ~30 shorts in 30 days with a new channel. We have seen tremendous progress in both views and # of subscribers. Thanks 🙇
Great info! I've found that this advice is right on. Shorts that are thematically similar as channel feature videos really do help growth.
Great info on shorts Jeven. My motorcycle travel channel is just a few months old (since I started posting in November last year).
I experimented with a few shorts here and there.
I see the same pattern on shorts that you describe (just my numbers are much lower, probably due to being a very small / new channel) - though was able to get most of my shorts over 1k views.
For my content, what worked were 10 - 20 second shots that showed me riding through a series of curves, having to avoid collision with cows/sheep in rural areas).
I have never done 30 in 30 type of experiment with shorts. I will push myself to it. I will try longer ones 30 -60 seconds with voiceover the running titles. Thank you for the tip for the app for it - previously I tried to add this manually!
I love the content that you produce on this channel. Your tips have been super helpful for me, and now I'm eager to experiment with shorts as well to help grow my channel. I'll make sure to stop by your 2nd channel to see what you are doing there. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to create better videos.
Loved the video very much....Thank you so much for your info, appreciated! I didn't take Shorts seriously..but, from today onward, I am definitely going to work on it. In BTW, 80%-100%+ watch-time on shorts, that's really amazing, Hats Off to you!
That's a really cool experiment! Glad you did it. I'd be interested in seeing your process in making shorts, especially if you batch them.
BTW, I really enjoyed the Alaska video too. 😎
Great info Jeven. I started with shorts and my channel grew much faster. Now, after watching your video, I need to do more shorts ;-)
Cheers from LA
Interesting feedback . Most of the videos I’ve seen are about faceless or ai generated content. Glad to see more original content creators creating shorts! I found my niche in cheerleading and just started a 30 day short challenge . Was started to get a little disheartened that I have not been getting massive views but after watching your video it helped me understand to be more patient and forge on !
Thanks for this info! I’m just starting my channel and have been posting one a day for the past 10ish days. Glad to hear they can take off after the first day! Appreciate you!
Awesome analysis, thank you for showing us. I’ve seen that two step trend a lot but I think you cracked the code for more views and consistent growth with shorts!! Very cool!!
So cool man! Thank you for running this test for us! 🤘🏽
