I've been working on a shorts channel since 2.6 months and I've gained almost 1.6k subscribers, 1.9k watch hours and 221k+ views. These are the lessons I learnt while working on this channel:
1. Fix a time for shorts, like I'll upload a short everyday at 2:00 PM. I think this helps youtube identify your existence and the algorithm give some time to analyse your channel.
2. Be consistent, I mean do not miss the routine you set for yourself to upload the shorts. It's the hardest part of being a shorts creator! As your channel can just die if you stop uploading for a while..(unless you've a mass follower base)
3. First 3 seconds should be focused on hooking the audience. You can do this by showing the most interesting part of your short in beginning as this would make audience to keep watching.
4. Keep an eye on average view duration (try to reach atleast 70%) and audience retention as well. These are the key factors for your shorts to go viral
5. Engage with your subscriber and people who comment on your videos as it would leave a remarkable memory in their mind.
6. Try to keep the video as concise and to the point as possible. Don't try to increase the length of shorts unnecessarily as you're just one swipe away from getting lost in shorts feed..
7. Try to add a CTA at end of your shorts. It can be either to ask for opinion or mention their favourite part.. anything that suits your video
I'm not a youtube guru but These tips worked for me. I'll keep updating if I find something new and interesting..
