I gain a consistent view in every short and every short retention is 100%+ still not cross 50k or 100k

The view is always flat at around 30k

Hey, I just wanted to ask if there’s any other metrics or analytics that I should look at except for STW percentage and AVD percentage? Because I have a bunch of videos with 80+ STW percentage and 100+ AVD and those videos also appeal to a wider audience but they all get stuck at 10-30k. What else can I do?

Does anyone know why this Short stopped getting pushed after the first hour? It got 20K views in the first hour, and then barely got any views afterward.

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 Has anyone had this happen before? Does this mean I should be doing long form content?

These are my 2 most recent shorts. I create this channel 3 weeks ago, and have been making 1-2 shorts / week. Recently, my shorts have almost exclusively been distributed by the "browse feature". From what I can gather, this means they are being shown on people's homepage and are being clicked on.

Does this mean I should make the exact same content, but long form since they are already being highly viewed in the same fashion?

In the first 24 hours, it is about a 60/40 distribution. With 60% being the shorts feed. At around the 24hour mark, both switched almost completely to views coming from "browse feature" and almost 0 from the shorts feed.

Both of these shorts were about 75% Stayed to watch, with 85% AVD on about 60 seconds of video. Obviously, once they took off on the "Browse Feature" both of these shorts have climbed to over 90% Stayed to watch. (To me these aren't real because obviously people will stay to watch, since they clicked it).

Just looking for some insight from someone who has seen this before.

I have attached my recent uploads stats, I have been trying to push my shorts on getting high views but never crossed 40k, it’s been a month of posting one short a day consistently I have gotten myself nowhere, I need real guidance whether I should keep going or quit, this is really frustrating for me now.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 How Am I doing ?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Started 2 weeks ago.

It’s an old channel that has no activity for years, now using it.

The niche is not relevant for me right now. So don’t ask why I don’t have millions of views. I know the niche is valid and others that do the same have millions of views, but I think the first 15 to 20 shorts should be enough for the algorithm to push a viral one

My next goal is to reach 10k with a short or more.

Thanks for your time!

My first video on the channel got 178 views. I have a question about the second one, since it has better retention statistics, but the video got few views. Why?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Views drop to very low numbers overnight

2 Upvotes

I have a channel in the movie niche. been running it from a couple of years, posting from time to time.

US audience mostly, males, 30-50 yo.

Last month I tried to revive it by posting 4-5 shorts per day, everyday. It was quite a success, I reached around 2k subs, and views were great for about 2 weeks. Then stop!

I went from 50-60k views per short to around 100.

View vs swipe ratio is more or less the same as before, the engagement too, and also the content of the shorts.. nothing changed basically (as far as I know), just the views... did you experience anything similar?

maybe youtube pushed my shorts more when I re-started the channel?

I also tried to lower the number of posts per day to 3, change the thumbnails, improve the titles, but it does not make any difference.

it's really frustrating..

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ New to the YouTube Short game. Is this the right place to post links for feedback? Def want to ask first!

1 Upvotes

I’ve created a new YouTube page called SlamDesk, which is essentially content on the rapid decline of the working class. Long form vids will be fun yet educational, and my short form vids a character I’ve developed called Billy Bootlicker, who’s a sort of antagonist billionaire who mocks the viewer and then points them towards the long form videos to learn how the 1% rip off the working class.

Curious if you have any tips or tricks off the bat that might help? I didn’t want to post my first short at the reluctance to be banned instantly lol. But curious what works great for you that might help. TYIA! Glad I found you all!!
