What is Your Experience with YouTube Shorts? 🤔💭 Short vs Long🥊
Hey there ~ I stopped 🛑 posting YouTube Shorts last year due to the mixed messages by "The Gurus" and others who say shorts have potential to hurt your channel. On one hand, they can bring in MANY subs and once you have their attention, you can hopefully get them to click a relatable long-form video (highly unlikely though). Most don't want to watch long-form content, they are just there for a "quick fix." 😏 Shorts tend to bring in a TOTALLY different audience. Apparently, shorts can bring down the engagement on your long-form content, so much so, that many creators have taken all of their shorts off their MAIN channel and created a channel that is solely dedicated to SHORTS. 🤷🏽♀️ I've been sticking with long form content and putting my time and energy in this direction and have noticed slow but steady growth. However, I have an event coming up that I am promoting and thought short form content would be a quick and easy way to grab attention and raise awareness. 🙋🏽♀️ Wondering if I should upload to the Shorts feed or just post the video clips on IG Reels and TikTok and drive traffic that way so that I don't kill the momentum and trust that I'm building with my audience. 🤓 @Alexa Saarenoja what are your thoughts around this. I'd love for you to chime in when you have a sec!

Hey there @Furqan Haider Great insight and thanks for sharing your take. I agree with you -- testing is the "name of the game" so I can post the videos I've already created with a strong CTA and see how they perform. I haven't been on IG or TK for quite a while, as I've been solely focused on the Tube for the past few months, but for the purpose of promoting this event, this may be a good time to jump back on those platforms for a hot minute! I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. 😊 Yes, I have considered teasing out my long-form content using shorts. I'm using Opus Clips to edit/add captions to my talking head videos and plan on getting back to clipping my long-form content and then linking to my longer videos, as long as it's worth my effort and yields great results. 🤞🏽 I'll keep you posted!

My First 1 of 10! 🔥🔥🔥
I can’t believe my video that only had 9 views 2 days ago just became my 1st 1 of 10 on my channel!!! All because I changed the title. I have 2.7K views, 65 new subscribers, 100+ likes, and over 20 comments. This is crazy!!!! I wanted to share this to encourage you guys to keep going. Your hard work will pay off!

@Rachel Cadwell I totally agree with you on this. I also use ChatGPT to enhance my titles to after giving it similar instructions.

@Rachel Cadwell Thank you for sharing! This is good to know and I will definitely give it a try. If the videos perform better after the title change, I will report back and let ya know! 😄

So proud of you Kate (and Joe)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR8k-yrSSeY&t=1s Showing up on YouTube like this isn’t easy, but it’s deeply impactful. Thank you for being authentically you and reminding us of the beauty of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. It’s been incredible to witness you and Joe’s journey—from feeling stiff and unsure on camera to finding your flow and shining brilliantly. Your growth is a testament to the power of showing up consistently, putting in the work, and trusting the process. Seeing you both step into your passion and purpose has been so rewarding. xoxo

Creating Shorts for published videos
Hi there 😇 - just wondering if anyone might use or recommend a free or cost-effective tool that could auto-create a good quality YT Short for a long-form Video already on your Channel?

Great question! I've used a few and my personal favs are Vidyo.ai and Opus Clips. If you use StreamYard, they also have a built-in feature to create shorts and reels from any long form video you record. You can also do what @Mike Bayer suggests and record your own shorts. I do this as well on my content days -- I batch record multiple clips and when I schedule them to be posted on YT, I link them to the original long-form video. Hope this helps! 😊

Has anyone ever gone live to do a project with few or no subs?
Christmas is upon us and I make handmade greeting cards whenever I can. I’m thinking of doing a live for making these cards because, why not? On the craft channel I have 44 subs, most of which came from my ‘baby possum In the fridge” video short. If I set chat to subscribers only will that keep out the riff raff and trolls? ‘

@Rachelle Hammond Yes, I have. I say it's worth it to do or to at least test it out! It's great practice and like @Rachel Cadwell said, you're doing the project anyway, so why not record yourself in the process. Most of your views will come from the replays. About the trolls 🧌💬 I find that I get more on the Vertical Livestream feature because you are exposed to a broader audience. That's not to say you won't get them on the horizontal livestreams but it doesn't seem to be as many (if any) in my experience. If you do have concern, just ignore them or as you mentioned, set your chat to subs only. Have Fun!!! 🤩
