Are YouTube Shorts Better for Subscriber Growth Than Long Form Videos?

[opticalist]

Have Shorts helped you gain subscribers who also watch your longer videos or do you find that the two formats attract different audiences?

yes i had some subscribers from shorts, who were watched my long videos. you can easily check it from your video analytics. analytics shows your audience or subscribers are watching your other videos, or not.

i use paid version of flow ai. its generate high quality video. i create vegetable storytelling cartoons. for voice generation i use eleven labs. for idea you can use chatgpt, and then write your script with your imagination.

I think if you create shorts from the long videos peoples who watch and like shorts will want to watch also the long form video...... is just my opinion but i see this happen to me i go and watch the whole video if i found the short to be usefull

I think short videos are more effective for reaching more people and growing your channel quickly, while longer videos are more effective for building an active audience.

Yes off course short videos attracts the audience to the long form content. When you posted some part of your long video as a short and if it is interest and be successful to gain the attention of people then it can bring the people to visit your channel and watch the full video. In most case according to my opinion and experience when someone watch short and he likes and he must the channel for full idea. it is also happened with me, I experienced this in my life mostly.

If you create a shorts video and add a hook for interest in shorts. That is related to the long video, then people can be interested in the long video. And shorts video can easily gain subscribers.

 

[Triple Agency]

Yes, my channel has been gaining subscribers much faster since I started making Shorts.

You may or may not gain additional subscribers from a Short. it depends on how you present your content and how you call for subscriptions within your video.

Yes definitely. Shorts drive traffic and subscribers to your channel and videos, meanwhile long form videos monetize your existing audience/followers.

I've noticed that Shorts can pull in viewers who later click on my regular uploads, tbf the jump isn't automatic. In YouTube Studio I check the "Traffic source: Shorts" metric and see a decent chunk of those viewers also watch the long-form videos.

Mixing both gives the best results, long form content converts better (especially if you’re funneling traffic), short form is great for getting an influx of new viewers.

 

[Awakening]

I think Shorts are great for gaining subscribers quickly, but long-form videos help build a stronger connection with your audience. In my opinion, using both formats together is a good way to grow a channel.

While wearing shorts will definitely get uhh some subs i hve seen many cases where people who subscribe to your channel from shorts dont even bother watching a ten minute video upload.

nd i think that it also depends on the niche. some people will be quite fine seeing some tips here nd there nd will never need anything longer.that is y when choosing between short nd long videos, i would look at the returning customers nd the durration of viewing.

Shorts are great for getting quick views and discovery, but long-form videos usually turn viewers into loyal subscribers, so I think using both together can give the best results.
