YouTube Question Helps Youtube Shorts to grow your channel or destroy it for a Small channel?

[DigiDesign Zina]

Hey,

I want to upload more Youtube Shorts.
But is this a good idea for a small channel?

For example:
For a normal video, I get around 100+ views on these videos
For a Short video, I get around 1000+ views on these kinds of videos

Is this a good impression to Youtube? Because of the big difference in numbers?

I can't post a Youtube Short every day.

Thanks for helping me out!

I take various parts from my long form videos and chop them up into Shorts, and post 1 per day. That might be beneficial for you.

I definitely average far more viewers on my Shorts than long form content, as I think most people do. I definitely get a handful of subscribers from them as well, although they don't translate to my long videos. Which again, I think this is the case for most people.

That said, I do gaming content which is very saturated and only has so much room for creativity and innovation. Seeing as you do graphic design/art content, you may have more that go from Shorts to long form, and vice versa.

Shorts are a good way to provide prospective subscribers with a glimpse into the type of content which they can expect to get from you. So you really do need to keep it on brand. The only way Shorts will really hurt you is if you create a Shorts video which has nothing to do with your core content and then it explodes and you get a ton of subscribers from it. This could cause issues in that these subscribers will not be in tune with the actual content you put out and therefore are not going to watch your regular content... making them empty subs which can have a negative impact on your CTR and watch time for future videos.

Some say it's useful and some say it's not good for the channel I don't know the truth anymore

 

[DigiDesign Zina]

Thank you both. I don't know it anymore either... I just try to Play with it. I make now Youtube shorts with the new tool to create shorts of your longer formats.

Hey how's this been going for you? As I've restarted on my channel with both shorts and longs, I'm doing 1-2 shorts per day and 1-2 longs per week now.

Wondering how to try and assess if it's having an effect on long-form watching with all the shorts...poking around YT analytics and such.

What I've just started doing is linking to a long form in my pinned comment with a strong-a$$ and specific CTA at the end of the short, just FYI.

It's great way to increase subscriber count but make sure not to divert it from the main content you are doing. Usually many people just cut parts of their long form video and ask the users to watch the full video by giving out a link which is a great way to boost subscriber and getting more audience to your main content(long form video).
