to make sure that the short you're going to make aligns with your channel's viewers. The reason for this is Youtube is actually going to recommend this shorts to the people who are already watching some of the videos on your channel. So you want those people to be interested in, because this is the first pool of people who Youtube actually sees, if they like your video. and if they should send it to more people. And since my channel is about basketball and the Nba, I made sure that my Youtube short was going to be about the Nba. Now, the second step you need to do is your research. You want to start looking around in your niche, at different shorts that are going viral, that are getting a lot of views, and you want to start to study them. Once you find some of these popular shorts, you really want to write some stuff down, specifically writing down the themes of the edits or the pacing or the text, the music. how are they putting this all together? How long are these videos? and start to analyze the data for what's working in the niche. And I found that there was kind of a specific format that did really well within the basketball niche. And so, I decided I was going to take that same format and apply it to the video. I wanted to make Step three, is to come up with ideas, just like a regular long-form video, you really want to be thinking about what do the viewers want to watch? And then from that, you could reverse engineer a video that would be interesting to a majority of the niche. Now, a major power tip here, that is going to help you get a ton of views, is to use Trend surfing. This is when you utilize, usually in your title, and in your video, the most influential keywords, names, brand fans, into your video. Now, once you have your idea, step four is scripting for the script. You really want to be as concise as possible, and leave no fluff in this script. Shorts are very quick, and you want to make sure that you are getting to the point and getting to the next point, as soon as possible. Now, if you have a really long script, or maybe you're wanting to take one of your long-form videos and condense that into a short, what you can do is go to chat GPT, and take that long-form script and then ask it to summarize and shorten that script. Then you can use that for your short. step five is then to shoot your short. And honestly, for shorts. The gear really doesn't matter. But I like to think that audio matters more than video quality when it comes to the shorts feed. And if you can, ideally you'd move around and get different shots in different places throughout the video to This segment details the creator's experience with three YouTube Shorts, highlighting the significant difference in performance between simply clipping existing content and creating an original short. It emphasizes the value of dedicated time and effort in scriptwriting and editing for maximizing impact and achieving viral success, contrasting this approach with the less effective "clip method." right here, you can see that at the zero second mark, it's actually a hundred and eighty six people still watching. That means that there are people who watch the very end of it. and then they watch the beginning again. And so that's why it's actually above 100. Now that you have your short edited and you posted it on Youtube. Here's the ultimate hack that a lot of people don't think of. And that is to post long form content. Let me explain the Youtube algorithm right now Really is trying to push shorts and it's trying to find the right shorts for the right audience. If you watch a new creator, let's say and you watch one video, maybe two videos, even if you don't subscribe, What you'll notice is you'll start to see that creator's shorts on your shorts feed. So what I've learned is that when people actually
