    How important is post quantity for Youtube Shorts?

    More specifically I mean: do I need to post often for my shorts to become viral? I'm curious about this because: I seem to get significantly more views if I post them in quick succession. If I wait too long and only post one video, then it barely gets any views. And almost all views seem to...

    Any secrets for Youtube Shorts success?

    I've been grinding Youtube shorts for the past year or more, gaining a couple thousand subscribers and several million views, but my progress / success seems much slower compared to other videos in the niche (with lower-quality content). Are there any tips/secrets that would help? Almost all my...

    Is 65% AVD too low for a longform video?

    Finally doing a bit decent with a longform youtube video. Nearing the 2-day mark and it has 5000 views / 150 likes. The CTR was 20-40% around the first day although has went down to 5%. Anyways, I was just curious about the AVD, since it's only 65% (on a 2 minute video), and my views are...

    What metrics are needed for longform video to go semi-viral?

    I've already had lots of success with my gaming shorts getting millions of views, but not so much with longform videos. Kinda worried my shorts viewers might be skewing the stats of my long videos... but I'll worry about that another day. Specifically I'm interested in knowing what percentages I...

    Viral shorts ruin channels?

    I've been having a ton of success with making YouTube shorts go viral - but it seems like no matter what I do, I can't seem to get views on my longform videos. Though, I recently stumbled upon a video claiming that viral shorts can ruin your channel. It sounded like main solution in the video...

    Is it true that you shouldn't point to longform videos from shorts using "Related Videos"?

    I've heard mixed claims about whether or not it's a good idea to put "related videos" in shorts that point to longform videos. Is there a consensus here on BHW regarding this? Context: Some say related video viewers don't stay to watch and it ruins your stats.

    Not getting subscribers from shorts

    I have a gaming channel and I uploaded a video yesterday that's gained nearly 10,000 views and 500 likes (and continues to increase), but I've only gained 1 subscriber from it. I tried putting a pinned comment reminding to subscribe, a reminder in the video, and in the description, but have not...

    Is it normal to get 50% swipe ratio for niche channel in gaming?

    I'm finding lots of Youtubers in my niche that have much worse quality/entertaining videos, but they're easily getting way more views -- I believe because they already have an established following. I on the other hand am just starting out and have almost no followers. Is 50% swipe normal, or...

    Would posting Youtube Shorts once every 48 hours cause old videos (and new) to lose traction?

    I thought my small channel might have been shadowbanned or being throttled after I uploaded a video that contained a lot of swear words and also made reference to racist people--but around the same time I also started cutting back on the amount of videos I upload. I was also messing around with...

    Is it fine to delete and re-upload Youtube Shorts?

    I am considering (gradually) going back through all my old videos, deleting them and remaking with better hooks, titles, and tags. But is that alright to do? I'm getting a lot of mixed information. Some people are suggesting that Youtube will penalize you and hurt your channel, while others are...

    Does Youtube secretly throttle channels?

    ... and if so -- is there any easy way to reverse it? Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions, but today I uploaded a youtube gaming short where other people in the video were cursing and using slurs. I made reference in the video to them using slurs, and censored them out (but not the curse words)...

    Any tips for increasing subscribers from Youtube Shorts?

    I know the BEST tip is to make sure to "ask" the viewers to subscribe. However, my shorts involve gameplay in a candid / storytelling type of way, and I feel like asking would ruin the content / immersion and be a bit cringey. So was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions /...

    Should I be using broad hashtags on Youtube Shorts?

    I've been getting a lot of mixed information regarding the use of broad hashtags on my gaming channel. I've been watching some "YT guru" videos and some of them are suggesting that broad hashtags are required to get any decent amount of views (or possibly go viral), while others are suggesting...

    Any easy way to make money online as a programmer?

    Not the most creative person so writing content or designing logos/websites are not for me. But after working in Web Hosting for many years (as tech support) I have strong skills at fixing website/coding issues and making various scripts. Way back I tried out Freelancer and a bunch of other...

    Residential IPs?

    I was looking here on BHW for residential IPs but I only seem to be able to find ones that are $20 each. Is that a typical price? Or I guess I thought they were only a few dollars each. Or maybe I'm thinking of virgin proxies

    How do you position keywords in content?

    I'm always worried I'm messing up keywords when making content. Like... Say I wanted to target the keyword "Cucumber Pizza" -- Would writing something like "This article is going to show you how to make the best Cucumber Pizza ever!" not work? I just keep wondering/worrying that my keyword will...
