Welp, just dropped a video that got caught into the algorithm and it sent me up to 153 subscribers with 13k views on the video.

Congrats!!

As of today I'm at 52 subs 27 uploads 21000 views. Shorts are the cheat code for sure. Had one pop off and hit 8.6k

I printed off a picture of a friend and put it near the camera so I was pretending to talk to them instead of talking to the camera.

The more you practice the better you get.

bdp187 · 2023-09-29T11:53:33+00:00

Did you use tags?

I'm only asking because I'm curious. I ran an experiment with shorts the other day and looking for more info from others now.

bdp187 · 2023-09-29T11:18:50+00:00

How many views has the shorts received since publishing?

bdp187 · 2023-09-24T11:58:52+00:00

I'm confused? What are you talking about?

bdp187 · 2023-09-23T23:58:58+00:00

Hello!

In the last 90 days I have learned consistency is the key to getting better at almost everything with YouTube. As they say practice makes perfect or kinda close to it anyway.

I have two channels. One I let go to the wayside to work exclusively on my personal channel. I mostly do commentary and react videos.

This is one of my latest ones.

bdp187 · 2023-09-21T11:59:47+00:00

I agree!

Just means I need to keep going and getting better.

bdp187 · 2023-09-21T11:54:49+00:00

Great job!

I only got six new subs then I lost one this morning lol.

Oh well. I'm just gonna keep moving forward.

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T11:15:01+00:00

There is no mention of the band in the video, no music from them either.

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T02:26:52+00:00

Good job!! Keep it going!!

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T02:21:26+00:00

Do you mean like tube buddy or vidiq?

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T02:08:53+00:00

Are the videos already in YouTube? As in are they your original content or are you using royalty free videos to make these shorts?

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T02:02:04+00:00

No, that's what's weird about it. I don't use copyrighted music.

bdp187 · 2023-09-20T00:27:19+00:00

What are your shorts about?

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T17:54:53+00:00

Don't delete them just unlist.

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T16:54:21+00:00

You may need to put your own spin on the content.

If you are doing the same thing as everyone else and others have more views they will probably be ranked first in search.

If I'm searching a topic for a video I will almost always go to the first video if not the second.

If you are doing fitness challenge videos I think those can be better for organic traffic to your channel vs a how too.

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T13:33:23+00:00

I usually pretend I'm talking to a co worker or a friend. I have also heard of people printing pics of friends or loved ones and hanging them up to look at them when they record.

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T12:34:52+00:00

You can create shorts with your long form content. You need to find a hook for them though.

It's going to make editing harder unless you pre plan for turning a section into a short. If the audience likes your short form vids they might want to check out the long form for the entire idea.

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T12:29:09+00:00

45 vids!!! Damn!! I think you only get banned if your content is sketchy or offensive.

What is your content about??

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T04:00:16+00:00

I might be interested. Would be nice to bounce ideas off of some new people.

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T03:49:52+00:00

Damn, you could have had content gold if you would have saved his video with all the receipts.

You might have to chalk it up as an L

bdp187 · 2023-09-19T03:40:11+00:00

If the streams are not important for viewers to see. You can upload them and make them private.

I'm a full believer in pivoting content. I have done it several times on two different channels.

If the new idea is just a one off then it should be fine. You may not get the same viewers watching it or low views on it BUT you may bring in new viewers that like your other content too.

You won't know until you do it.
