YouTube Question How often do YOU upload SHORT video?
- Thread starter TheShihTzuFamily
- Start date
I plan to start uploading more soon. I myself want to experiment with uploading 2-3 shorts a week. For already established channels, they might want to be careful, if your audience has been crafted to expect certain types of non short form content, throwing some short form content could throw them off "I didn't subscribe for this? I'm unsubscribing"
BUT for channels that already do tips, tutorials, facts, all sorts of things really, you can experiment with quick tip shorts, quick facts shorts etc. For artists especially I see shorts being amazing value so I'm not too concerned with mixing shorts in with my longer content, seems art is art. But I'd make sure people fully think through their content strategy before going all in on shorts, and of course, always test before fully committing. It can do amazing things for your channel, but it could also throw people off.

Yes, it will be a big thing because of the other social media trends style which is using short duration format and youtube dont want to lose their competition of course. But, I don't think it will take over longer videos, it depends on your types on contents I guess. And youtube have all kinds of different types of contents, from educational, arts, tips, to the weirdest things on youtube.
I posted a few, hmm... almost a year ago(?)... I have not quite figured out what I would do with them. Until YT figures out how to monetize them, I do not really see them going anywhere. For my channel I think they would fit well enough. I will keep my regular video schedule, and might use shorts as quick check-ins. Not sure yet, was not thrilled with them. But I would not watch vids on my phone, so I am obviously not the target demographic. (I have dual 27 inch monitors, why would I watch on a 6" screen?)

70 percent of YouTube watch time comes from mobile devices. I believe they are working out monetize on YouTube shorts maybe at the end of year?
Yeah, I keep hearing that (usually higher percentage) and still find it hard to fathom. Although it makes here in the Philippines, since most people do not have a computer...
Yeah IΓÇÖve been thinking through the concept of using them as promos for long form but really, if a viewer canΓÇÖt get useful health information from me in 20-40sec, IΓÇÖm not making that short
I have tried making a few shorts. I've gotten mixed results. For five weeks, I posted one short per week to accompany my long form content. My first short ended up on the shelf and racked up over 23K views overnight. Subsequent shorts did not do as well, racking up 2K or less views in the first week, more in line with what my other videos were getting.
For now, I have stopped producing shorts because I feel like the shorts will alienate my core audience--people who want to watch doll unboxings and reviews. If I find a great topic or theme for short form videos that is in line with what my channel is about, I may consider producing some.

Does anyone know if there are any analytics with short videos. I have not used the feature.
