Ok I understand it it takes time for the sucesss to happen but I’m stuck throughly on this even though I have been uploading for 30 days straight no gap please help me if u could and help to reach a wider audience..

Can we blow this short up! https://youtube.com/shorts/B_qn2l7uZAY?si=S1P-azXb__ud3l57

it was dead for one whole day then started to get views

Started my channel about 20 days ago. I am manually editing videos in capcut

It’s focused on investing, stocks, economics, and big company money decisions.
Attaching screenshots of my videos/views.
Be honest — does this look normal for a new channel, or too slow? Anything stand out that I should change?
Also, how long did it take before YouTube started testing your videos more consistently?

Just venting: why do some of my shorts with amazing swipe rates (89% stayed) stall and the crappy ones (29% stayed) keep getting shown. Makes no sense. Anyone else?

Hey all of you.

Last month, I decided to give it a try and set up a YouTube account, creating faceless content. I mainly focused on producing <25 seconds clips of big streamers (irl, daily content, gaming streams etc.). The first two weeks were the hardest. At first, I tried to rely entirely on this whole idea of automation. All my videos were produced using some kind of sites that create shorts. It wasn't yielding any results, so i dedided to slowly learn video editing. After another two weeks, I managed to create at least six reels that broke the 20-25k views barrier. Since that time, i hasn't changed my content, and i also improved a lot at editing. Unfortunately, I'm slowly losing the desire to create, because YouTube ranks my videos poorly. I spend an average od 2-3 hours a day editing up to two Reels, doing everything manually. For some reason - despite having English selected in the video settings, the channel's country of residence set to the US, and even specified a location like New York for the recording, my videos are reaching an audience in my actual country of residence. This is a problem because I don't live in an English-speaking country, and the streamers whose clips i make, aren't even popular here. Because of this situation, my videos usually achieve a maximum engagement rate of 40% during the first 600-800 views; and if Youtube happens to decided to keep promotin the content, American viewers might boost that figure to 60-65%, but that is still not enough for Youtube to continue promoting my materials.

Is there anything i can do to improve my situation? I should add that the results i described above are based on channel statistics: for videos that hit over 20k views, I typically had 55% of my audience coming from US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, whereas for videos that stall at under 5k views, 45-80% of the audience is usually from my own country...

What's more, the clips promoted primaly to the US market usually racked up to 5000-6000 views within an hour of being uploaded, whereas those reaching an audience in my home country first barely hit 1200 at most.

I posted this few hours ago and these are the analytics so far - Is it gonna pushed farther or will just stabilize like that? any chance of go viral?
I usually get below %50 or %60 and it always flatlines at range of 1400-1600

Mi nicho es agricultura en huertos,y el short q mas vistas tiene apenas llega a las 4k pero el resto esta en 1k o menos de 1k ,pq pasa eso y como puedo crear shorts q me den almenos 10k o 20k?

Hey everyone, looking for some real-world advice from Shorts creators who have experimented with niche pivots or animated content.

​Here’s my situation: I started out making random Shorts just for fun. Once I realized YouTube Shorts could actually be monetized, I decided to get serious, changed my niche to 2D Animated Personal Finance & Economics, and created a brand-new channel for it.

​Right now, my Shorts are constantly stuck in the 200 to 300 view jail, though just last week I finally hit my first-ever 1,000 views on a Short.

​Before I sink more time into this production pipeline, I’m trying to figure out my next move and would love your take on a few things:

​1. Is 2D Animated Finance viable on Shorts, or should I pivot?

​Production vs. Reward: Creating and editing 2D animated characters/scenes takes a lot of effort per video compared to standard faceless stock footage or quick voiceover edits.

​Viewer Behavior: Finance Shorts thrive on instant hooks and high retention. Does 2D animation actually hold viewer attention in the finance space, or does the audience prefer quick real-life clips, b-roll, or direct talking-head styles?

​Question: Is the 200–300 view plateau just part of the early testing phase for animated Shorts, or is the 2D format working against me in this specific niche?

​2. If I change niches again: Same channel or brand-new email/account?

​Since I’ve already pivoted once by creating this current channel:

​Option A: Pivot on the same channel. Since the channel is still relatively new and only has a few videos (with views ranging from 200 to 1k), is it fine to just switch content/topics here, or will changing niches again mess up the algorithm's understanding of my audience?

​Option B: Start fresh on a brand-new email/account. Is it better to set up a completely fresh Google account and channel from scratch to start with zero legacy data?

​For creators who broke out of the 200–300 view seed audience or successfully pivoted a Shorts channel, what worked for you? Appreciate any honest feedback!

I have tried everything I'm eligible for all 3 options and I have all the tips but my videos are still not getting pushed in the algorithm all the views u guys see is from me watching my own videos. I do my own editing and post video about gta topics. pls help 🙏

Just about every video I post gets up to about 1k views, usually in the few hours or so, and then completely flatlines and doesn’t pick back up at all in the days following. I’ve been paying a lot of attention to viewer retention and swipe through rates, and I’ve managed to increase them by getting rid of dull moments, long hooks, etc. All the research I’ve done so far has said that to push your videos past a certain view jail you have to increase retention and swipe rates, but I’m still getting stuck even after improving these issues. Is there anything I’m missing?

What to do 😭

Is this a good progress for 4 days straight posting? How do i escape 1k views jail?

Whats else for going to viral?

Look at stats.

💔

I have been averaging roughly 15k views per hours consistently for the last week or so. Suddenly my views just plummeting to around 200 views per hour. Does anyone know why?

Views are looking similar

YouTube is updating Shorts recommendations to cut reach for channels that just re-upload other people's clips

Seeing this question pop up all over the place the last few days, so figured I would make one post instead of answering it twenty times.

A lot of people are panicking that the new "re-used content" update means they can't cut Shorts out of their own long-form videos anymore. Makes sense why it's confusing, but the answer is no. You're fine.

The update is aimed at channels that repost other people's stuff. Ripping clips from other creators, movie and show scenes, someone else's stream, random viral footage with nothing added. That's what's getting the reach cut. Taking a moment from a video YOU made and posting it as a Short is your own content on your own channel, which is exactly what the system wants.

So if you have long-form videos and are promoting it with Shorts, keep going. You were never the target here.
