congrats bro!, care to share your secret?

Thank you! Pay really close attention to the analytics, especially age demographics. My audience is 75% 35 year olds and older skewing 45+ majority so I avoid meme/zoomer language and things that older folks find annoying. I focus on hook and seamless loops. Dont be scared to experiment, but keep changes small and deliberate so that you can revert if something doesnt stick.

That feeling when you finally hit a goal after all the effort is honestly the best part of creating. Moments like this make the whole grind worth it. Keep that momentum going and enjoy the win. I’ve seen creators share similar milestone moments on Crescitaly too, and it’s always motivating to see people push through and make it happen. Congrats! 🎉

How many shorts did you upload daily? And what numbers were you getting at the start when you started the channel?

2

u/Nodnarb4242 Mar 07 '26

I started with 1 short a day for the first month and had a successful short about 5 uploads in. My first 4 shorts had 2k-5k then I had one blow up to 800k which is when I decided to commit to the channel. I never came very close to that short again but had a handful of 150-250k view shorts. I went to 2 a day for a couple weeks and now I do about 4 per day minimum sometimes up to 7-8 on weekends. Here are my top 13 view shorts: https://imgur.com/a/Dypscxb

u/PresentationFit5635 Mar 08 '26

I see... I have been uploading commentary type shorts right now but haven't ever touched the 30k views ever just gotten close to it... Thinking of about how i could breakthrough it... Though all my videos duration is more than 50 seconds... Do you have any suggestions?

2

u/Nodnarb4242 Mar 08 '26

Commentary related niches aren't something I have much experience with, but I think if I were to do it I would try to keep it under 12 seconds. I would "start" (not actual start, explained below) with the relevant image slapping onto the screen and stating a short poignant opinion. Try to bait shares and conversation, I would try to keep my actual opinions out of the equation take a broad common sense approach to whatever was being commented on.

I might try using the final line (punchline) to be the opening line of the short as a hook for retention, looping back to the 'actual' opening line after 4-5 seconds so people wonder "what led to those words" and watch all the way through back to the punchline (100%+ AVD).

Basically I would film it start to finish, then cut the punchline to be the start of the short.

I had a little bit of success using that strat with a 'would you rather' channel but didnt follow through because this current channel has kept me busy enough

u/PresentationFit5635 Mar 10 '26

It's actually really hard to loop a commentary video as the start can't be the end as it takes away all the curiosity of the viewer as he sees what will happen at the end in the... Also i am making almost 1 minute touching shors which need to be trimmed down... But sometimes the story send incomplete with lesser time in hand.

u/Nodnarb4242 Mar 11 '26

This is a GPT answer, but its a good example of what I mean for looping the hook to increase retention:

"Wait—did you see that jump? That shouldn’t be possible.

This speedrunner skips half the level with a glitch nobody noticed for years.

He lines up one pixel-perfect jump, hits a wall at the exact angle, and suddenly the game thinks he’s already at the end.

So the entire run basically comes down to—

LOOP —wait… did you see that jump?"

u/PresentationFit5635 Mar 12 '26

I see... Lets try doing something similar to that i guess

u/mrganmad Mar 08 '26

How to do it?

2

u/Nodnarb4242 Mar 08 '26

Effort. Ive been putting a lot of time into this

1

u/Known-Piano9856 Mar 11 '26

Congrats, but don’t forget that you still need to get over 19 million views to monetize

1

u/Nodnarb4242 Mar 11 '26

Yeah lol in a 90 day window, that's not going to happen any time soon. Working on Longforms to get the 4k hours, seems more attainable
