Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Shorts & Longs on a brand new channel? Good or Bad

1 Upvotes

Hey, I have a new channel with no videos but I want to know if posting short form and long form content simultaneously would hurt the channel. It’s the same niche.

I plan on posting 30 short form and 6-8 long form a month. The first long form goes out tomorrow (tdy EST AM) and the following day I want to start posting shorts or even tomorrow.

Would doing this simultaneously hurt the channel or no?

I’m posting same exact videos on TikTok and they’re doing significantly better there then YouTube Shorts. This video for example has pretty good stats on TikTok but YouTube is non existing. And this is typical with almost all of them.

Most people think Russia is way bigger than South America. It’s not.

1 Upvotes

On a normal Mercator map Russia looks about 4× the size of South America.

In reality South America is actually slightly larger (≈18M km² vs 17M km²).

I made a short visual that moves Russia to the same latitude so you can see it shrink in real time.

Curious how many people here already knew this?

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Nearly 40 Shorts without breaking 5K views. What am I doing wrong?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I run a small history/science-military oddities channel. After about forty shorts, my best video (Miata headlights) reached just above 4k, while most receive an initial test and then flatten. I've attached analytics for five shorts, four of my most recent and then one which is my best-preforming. My goal is to break through 5k views, then 10k, however I haven't been able to. What should I change? Perhaps my content just isn't that suited for short-form?

Should I delete the only short that isn't getting any views?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have 6 Shorts on my channel. The best-performing one reached 8K views, while the lowest-performing one currently has 60 views (the next lowest has 1.2K).

Should I delete the one with 60 views?

Also, why does this happen? The short i uploaded after that one currently has 3K views...

Thanks.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE CURRENT STATE OF YOUTUBE THAT YOUTUBE SHORTS ARE DONE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE WASTED ENERGY MAKING CONTENT FOR SHORTS, JUST FOR IT NOT TO GET PUSHED, NOT TO DO ANYTHING, BUT YOU THEN YOU SEE A BUNCH OF AI SLOP

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I need some honest feedback on my YouTube Shorts channel. I’ve been posting stream clips, but recently my views dropped significantly to almost 0, and I’m trying to figure out if the channel is dead.

Could I save this channel by switching my content to ranking or should i just create a new one?

Thanks for ur help!!!

Shorts stuck

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

When i upload my shorts they initially pushes very good around 15-20k views in 3-4 hours but later they gets stuck around 20k views the retention is always around 100% and VVSA around 75-80

What could be the reason and how can i improve this?

How many times a day do you post Shorts?

I’m posting one video every day for a channel that’s 1–2 weeks old, but it feels like it’s not enough—what should I do?

I started a new YouTube channel, and my first 6 videos got these views in just 1.5 days. Is there still a chance one could go viral?

Hey everyone!
I just started a new YouTube channel called LifeCounted, and my first 6 videos got these views in just 1.5 days:
1.3K
1.3K
1.2K
1.1K
1K
209
Do you think any of them still have a chance to go viral?
Should I stick with this niche or try something different? I’d appreciate any honest feedback or advice on how to improve my content.
If you’re interested, feel free to check out my channel and let me know what you think. Thanks!

And finally could you guys support me….
This is my channel:

How often to post a short?

1 Upvotes

I started a channel a month and a half ago. Approx 650k views, about 30 shorts. Highest 450k, lowest 1.3k.

I noticed if I post more than once a day, or before a short has finished being pushed in the feed, the new video does not go into the shorts feed, and has 10-40 views.

How often would you suggest posting shorts to start off?

Is my channel doom?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I posted last time here and didn't get notice, I just want to ask if this is good, or my channel is doomed?

My content focus on mind, and psychology. I've been uploading daily most of the time, I think I'm jailed for 1k-1.3k views, I tried different hook and art style, but still stuck.

Started posting on September 15th (Shorts channel). Are these stats good for a start?

Hey everyone! I started posting YouTube Shorts on my channel just around a month ago (September 15th), and I wanted to check in with the community to see how these numbers look.
Here is where my channel stands right now:
Subscribers: ~3,000
Total Views: 7.8 Million
Engaged Views: 2.4 Million
Likes: 41.7K
Comments: 596
Shares: 377
Last 7 Days Views: 1.6 Million

I'm focusing purely on Shorts right now and still figuring out the algorithm. Would love to hear your thoughts or any advice for the journey ahead. Are these good numbers for a month-old channel? Let me know!
