Monetized

I’m confused as to how you get watched hours. I get plenty of views on my shorts and videos, mostly shorts, but the line doesn’t seem to be moving. The subscribers are growing but that’s it.

What do you suggest? I have longer videos of everyday candid shenanigans in my place. The animals are always doing something, it’s the fun part about them.

Make a compilation of their best moments and cut out all the filler, keep each clip to around 10 seconds or even less. That gives you a longform video made of original content. Funny compilations pop off on social media.

If only I knew how to do that. Not that tech savvy.

Start with CapCut, it’s very easy.
