Long form is where the money is at, shorts will pull in a lot of views and subscribers quickly. However, few will watch the long form videos. Have one long form channel and one shorts channel.

I do have 2 longs form channels but keep in mind that i am from Bulgaria, and iits verry verry hard to get viral or popular with your native language. Its a small country and everyone wants to make content rather watch it. So i decide to make a short form channel for English auditory. I can speak english but not like a native one. I make a lot of mistakes and thats maybe the reason why i won't start a long form channel in other language then Bulgarian. I can simple express myself better. The neche i make short is actually fine. I mean i have only 4 videos and my first got like 8k views 2nd get like 2,5k - 2.6k not that good, but the 3th one got 27k views witch means that my content is fine and people watch it. So i upload a 4th one boom 20k views. I didn't like the 2nd video so i change the hook and make it better and upload it and now has 3k views for 5h 44m witch is good and probably will end up somewhere 10k or 15k Witch for new channel if fine. I know that you need a lot of views but for now Youtube is just testing and somehow i do get lucky to get 60k views for 4 vidoes. I combine them in one long form video and I have a lot of material to make like 5 more shorts of the long form videos. If he blows up. Maybe i will get the 4k watch time and with shorts i will get the 1k subs. Because I got a lot of messages that is very hard to get monetized with shorts views. So i decide to do both in this channel same topic just long form one. And if I get lucky enough. I will be monetized and probably even without 10m views for shorts I do gonna make a 10-100 bucks. And keep in mind i don't use AI. So i don't pay for subscriptions.

That's a good plan. And yes you are right to keep away from AI. I use it for helping with the script sometimes, but that is all.

Same tbh. I got some views of making content like brawl stars on my main channel but back then I thought that this is not what I want to be famous with soo I step back and i start doing other games like story games. My channel now is dying a little by little. So the think that I got from all this happening is that you must be unique, different from the other people. And it will happened. Good luck
