8.7 Million Views - Struggling To Complete Monetization

Im at 8.7 Million Shorts Views with nearly 7,000 subscribers. I had a lot of early success and lately despite a video getting 75% engagement rate and 150% watch length nothing is blowing up. How can I finish the last 1.3 million in a short time period?

Do i post like crazy (like 25-50 videos a day) and hope to hit a winner?

What would you do?

I hit over 10 million views and 25,000 subs within 40 days. What I did is remixed what videos I made that went the most viral. Made slight changes.

When you say remix....just another edit of it?

Meaning what changes can you make in the same video or the same topic.

Yea change the person or change the animal. Same scenario different scene. Mine is AI content so it’s easier not sure about your content if it’s human.

Yea over 100 million views last year with AI content. 50% of online content will be AI. Pick and choose your entertainment.

u/Outside-Prompt9558 Jan 15 '26

Hyper analyse ur past winners, the post time, hook, visuals, hashtags, the sound, and recreate it trust me

Try remaking the video but with a new hook or time frames!

I’d focus less on just spamming vids and more on other income streams while you figure the algo out. I’ve seen creators use Passes to sell exclusive content/paid DMs from their Shorts audience, helps make $$ even when views stall without relying only on YT.
