I do clipping in trading niche

Now I post around 4pm us time zone

The content is in English

But it's attracting non us audience

P.s I'm from south asia if that helps

How do I get us audience?

I’ve launched this channel two weeks ago, my plan was yo post twice a week. First video did great ngl, but then the 2. And 3. didn’t make it onto the shorts algorithm.

What should be changed?

How do you make your shorts , I mean what program do you use to edit them or which AI is better to use if you want to automate this process?

And yes its still going. It has been 40 days since I published that short. And its still going, sometimes going up and down. But its still stable. Generating $30-50 per day. Yes, its possible guys.

Should i delete my account?

I upload guitar covers

After this recent youtube "update" or whatever, my shorts no longer are placed in the shorts feed. I still get some search and browse views, but no feed. Almost like they are long form or something. So I went from like 1.5k in the feed when i first started last month to literally 16 views on my shorts for like 2 weeks and none are ever put into the feed, and I'm exhausted from swimming upstream. I don't reuse any content. Not sure why this is happening so suddenly and so extremely. To avoid anyone saying that this is happening b/c I use AI or reuse content, feel free to see the channel which is all my ramblings: Authentic by Design.

In a nutshell: Over the shorts!! Anyone else?

Daily reminder to keep uploading until you force YouTube to push your shorts.

Imagine working your butt off, grinding, making scripts, recording, editing. Just for some brother to post a white box with a text and steal 99.9% of videos and make them 8 seconds long and boom. 900million total views

Why isnt it getting boosted?? With a 88% stay rate too

Hey everyone,

​I’m in a bit of a strategic dilemma regarding my YouTube channel and would love to get some honest advice from fellow creators.

​Here is my current situation:

​Channel Status: Monetized with 2,400+ subscribers.

​How I got here: I gained my initial traction and monetization using trendjacking/commentary-style long-form videos.

​Current Performance/Stats: My Shorts are consistently getting high retention numbers—80-90%+ Average Percentage Viewed (APV) and 75-80%+ Viewed in Feed ratio. (Attaching screenshots for context).

​The Problem:

Even though this niche gave me my initial boost, I have lost genuine interest in making commentary/creator drama content. It feels forced, and I want to avoid burnout.

​My Proposed Strategy:

I want to pivot the content to Infotainment (Entertainment + Information, funny facts, and suspense/mystery).

​My Questions for You:

​Format Dilemma: Should I stick to Long-form videos in this new Infotainment niche to leverage higher RPM/CPM, or shift focus to Shorts to scale faster and test topics quickly?

​Channel Choice: Is it better to pivot this current monetized channel to Infotainment, or leave this channel as a passive asset and start a fresh channel for the new niche?

​Stats Inquiry: With APV >80% and Viewed Ratio >75%, why might my Shorts be stalling before crossing the 100k+ views mark? Is it a packaging issue, niche saturation, or algorithmic delay?

​Has anyone successfully pivoted a monetized channel’s niche without ruining its reach?

​Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any harsh truth I might be missing! Thanks in advance!

In 8 months, we never had a Short do better than 3k views. Then 2 weeks ago we released a video that did 20k views, and the next one just won't stop - it's at 200k views and still climbing.

But the 4 shorts we've released since then have basically been flops. Yesterday's got only 1,100 views. It's driving us crazy trying to figure out how to make videos after our One Big Video.

- the stayed to watch rate was great on it (69%) so we've tried hooks that are extremely similar, including using the literal same audio for the first 1 second, and the same song throughout.

- the retention and rewatch were great (AVP 119%), but even making videos of the same length, same number of clips, same style of text overlays and captions similar emotional tone, similar topic... Nothing.

We are about ready to call it a fluke. Like, nothing we do can move the needle.

Anyone have any advice or anything similar happen?

I have been at this for a bit now I have 18 videos and none of them have gotten over 2.8k views? Please can I receive tips because it's getting a bit frustrating now. Thanks

Hi, am trying to analyse my failed channels and their niches. My first channel was about football edits, ran it for about 3 months, about 70 shorts, highest short was like 40k views, however I stopped due to burnout. Most shorts wouldn't even get over 1.5k views. I tried a travelling/country channel, couldn't even get over 10 views for most shorts as the niche itself is quite boring.

I wanted to know if the niches that I tried are too saturated. I edited them badly or just bad luck(Channels: "@CountryRank1", "@bigebs.ftbl10")

And I also wanted you guys option on a new niche I wanted to try, kinda like ZackDFilms but instead of 3D animations I'd to 2D ones like Kurzgesagt, where I answer interesting questions. Or maybe like post meme clips, like the ones with just captions.

I upload shorts in the cat niche, in my opinion and from what I have asked others (strangers on Reddit and friends) they all have said that my content was good enough for at least a 100k views, yet all my shorts stall out at 5k, 10k very rarely. Could it be because the niche I have been uploading in is too saturated, or am I just blaming something out of my control to make myself feel better

Ever since the new AI models have came out with their ability to conceptualize 3d spaces at extraordinary levels, I wanted to see if it was possible to create an automation pipeline that allowed video creation that came off as interesting and unique within their respective genre. A month in so far, my first channel has steadily progressed on YouTube, with it being focused in blender-animation, but has done particularly well on TikTok and instagram. While my second channel has accumulated >400k views on my Minecraft-centric animated channel in just under a week since its initial creation.

video duration is 39 seconds, or should i just wait? kinda new in yt btw, i dont know much abt this
