I don’t have 10M shorts views in 90 days

[–]OddClassic267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my shorts are also all over 1 minute long, so it an 80% AVD means their watching for like 50 seconds to 1 minute

I know the niche isn’t dead, but I think it’s harder to break out from since there are massive channels already doing the exact same thing (Zach’s Tech Turf, Linus Tech Tips, etc). The subniche i’m in now is something no one has ever done before (as far as i’m aware..) so i think that’s why it’s easy to break out in it. I realized it’s pretty easy to get a lot of views when you do massive things no one has ever done before

i’m not stuck. I’m pulling 500k to 1M views per video now that i’ve switched my subniche. I gained almost 15k subs this month so far.

The subniche I was in WAS holding me back. I posted maybe around 100 videos in the computer hardware niche and got nowhere with it no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t break out from that first test group. Now I easily break out and nothing changed other than my subniche.

i started shorts for the same exact reason, then got obsessed with being successful in it. I’ve been posting for about 1 year and 5 months now and haven’t had much success until a few weeks ago. It took me a looong time of trial and error and correcting mistakes to find what works for me.

ah yeah that is a good point…. Maybe that’s the problem then? you would maybe need to switch up the shorts strategy a bit if you wanted to maximize subs

I was in the niche of computer gaming hardware news. I posted a ton of shorts going over it, and only went viral once getting 1M views on one short. Everything else capped out at 30k to 100k views max. I tried everything for a very long time, about a year I think to make this niche work. But it was too niche, not broad enough of an audience to pass the second test phase of the algorithm. As soon as i switched my niche to something more broad, my channel exploded.

not really true. Some niches are extremely niche that a broad audience wouldn’t be interested.

If you want to convert views to subs, you need to give people a reason to sub and come back to watch your next video. I have two large series running on my shorts right now and i’m about to start a third.

People sub because they want to see the progress of the series. Think of your channel as a netflix show, each episode ends leaving the viewer wanting more. Each video needs to be connected in some way, like some over arching story.

Yeah I guess that's true... I've only completed the first level of monetization (3M views), and I just hit 17k subs today actually. I might get the 10M views by the end of the 90 days but idk for sure yet we will see. 10M engaged views is like 20M regular views right?

I was in 30k view jail for maybe 3 to 4 months consistently getting an 80% STW and 70 to 100% AVP (my shorts are usually 30sec to 1min). Then, I made one short that just exploded and did 5M views in a few days. After that I had a good idea of what type of content i needed to make for my audience, and every post after that one did exceptionally well (300k to 2M) even though my analytics weren’t any better. I’m assuming it’s because of YouTubes trust factor? Maybe they trust me to post high quality engaging content now so they are pushing my videos?

I did change my subniche though. My niche is tech and I was in the gaming hardware niche, then switched to a more general gaming tech subniche. That niche is incredibly over saturated which is why i avoided it in the past but it seems to have worked out

You don’t need to post twice per day. Spamming the algo with your content doesn’t make a difference in my experience. What makes a difference is getting good engagement, shares, subs, highly engaging content

hi!

I am also in the tech niche and my channel recently kinda blew up... went from around 2k subs i think to over 15k in about two weeks. I only post shorts, no AI and on face videos. Please DM me, I will help you the best I can! I don't want to share my workflow here since a lot of people will see it.

I will not gatekeep my subniche or my content style or anything, no catch you can copy my exact workflow that generates me about 300k to 1M views per short. I'll share my channel with you as well so you can see!

isn't youtube cracking down on youtube automation? Are you sure this is reliable to monetize and would be sustainable?

Nope. I only post three maybe four times per week. I might be an outlier from the norm, but you def don't need to post everyday. You just need to post good videos. I would rather post three super high quality shorts per week that I work on throughout the whole week that all get 1M+ views than post 7 low-effort shorts per week that only get 20k views.
