YouTube Shorts Channel Experiment

[popesculeonarddan]

Change of plan.
I deleted my channel and have created a new one.
"Sexy fitness" is the niche.
These type of videos are doing well.
See link to my new channel with first video to test.

Shorts can't be monetised with AdSense yet, so I decided to just use the #shorts tag, but make the video 7.44 long to gain more retention.
I am going to leave this channel totally organic, no botted views, likes, subscribers, etc.
I want to test the #shorts tag effect on a regular length video.

0 effect, but you can try

My thinking is the "#shorts" and "sexy" keywords will be picked up in the search results.
Viewers seeking sexy shorts content will find the video.
From the clickbait thumbnail they will click on it assuming its a shorts video.
Then watch it with good retention when they find it lasts over 60 seconds.

Can you actually make money on shorts or is it only for growing subscribers?

90% of the videos that went viral for me are 40+ seconds. I think it's a good strategy, because the retention is very high, if the video is interesting and makes users watch until the end.

How do you go about the tags?

 

[Long Runs The Fox]

Well that didn't last long.
YouTube terminated my account for violations of their policy.

that's interesing. from my tests, the #shorts tag is more likely to decrease ranking (with small channel and only organics views). Coupled with sexy, will be interesting to see if it can change that factor.

I have private messaged you.
My new channel was gaining good results using the #shorts tag.
Unfortunately it was flagged due to the sexy content.
I think longer videos are more viable, as they can be monetised with AdSense.
Shorts are good for building up subscribers and views fast.
The problem is no AdSense revenue, even on a video doing hundreds of thousands, or millions of views.
I think shorts are hot at the moment due to being new on YouTube as a rival to TikTok; but this will cool down as it becomes saturated and viewers bore of it.

YouTube Shorts are really blowing up at the moment.
So today I decided to create a new channel and uploaded 10 shorts videos as an experiment.
The videos were downloaded from a copywrite free content site; so no editing needed whatsoever.
No watermarks on the content either, so the content looks original.
I am just going to leave it to gain organic views, no botted views from panels.
I am interested to see if the algorithm will move it up the rankings as it gains views.
Here is a link to the channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrFUnF2pLLtK36_npOQdO-wThe videos are all under 35 seconds. This should gain strong retention rates.
The idea I had for silent content is this.
Viewers will keep messing around with their volume settings and trying to figure out why no sound?
By that time the content will have 100% played through, this 100% viewer retention; which is good for the algorithm.
All 10 videos are silent, so it doesn't matter which one they click on. It will have gained 100% retention by the time they figured the video is silent.
I thought it would be interesting to see how a Shorts channel does organically with no work whatsoever.

It appears that your experiment did not work as YT has cancelled the account associated with the videos you posted.

Correct.
See my earlier post today.

I started a new shorts channel today.
This is a useful site for downloading TikTok videos.
https://ttdownloader.com/It can remove the TikTok watermark.
I uploaded 10 videos as a test to see how the content does organically.
The niche is sexy blonde woman.
So far the 10 videos are gaining good views, and good retention.
I am thinking it might get picked up by the algorithm and boosted.

 

[popesculeonarddan]

For the moment, just for subscribers.

How do you go about the tags?

From my point of view, tags don't matter for shorts.

The first dancing woman channel wasn't gaining views, so I deleted it.
The second sexy woman working out channel was terminated for nudity.
The current one I am using is a sexy blonde, but its clean, no nudity.
It is gaining good views, but not subscribers yet.
Really it needs the algorithm to boost it now.
So I will just let it run organically with no botting and see how the 10 videos do.
I may add some more videos later after seeing how the first 10 perform.
