I am making this thread to keep myself motivated and communicate with others about shorts and YouTube!
My story
After finding this video:
I really wanted to make my first income from the commentary shorts channel. (So you basically pick a niche, download others videos from different platforms (TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, etc) and then you edit that and put your commentary over it, so you can actually monetize the content)
So Jan 1 I started this journey by creating a freshly new account and started posting every single video I found on TikTok without picking a niche and of course, miserably I failed! After posting about 50 videos, only 2 videos have "blown up" (2k and 9k) Others had 0-3 views. After this I created 2 other accounts, now with different niches.
After posting on all 3 channels I still didn't see any results, mostly all of the videos were plain zeros and after that I quit, for 2 weeks straight I wasn't posting anything. 26th of February I saw this forum for the first time and read @SEGARU thread about the same journey, but he actually succeeded! After this, splash of motivation, I decided to continue grinding! I started posting about 1-2 shorts every single day, my first channel didn't really respond to it, but starting March 5 I finally got my first viral videos:
Yeah, I still have some low-view videos, but I didn't care, finally, I am making some progress! (For now, max video view count is 31k)
My other 2 channels have also started to get traction, but still, I had low-view videos, sometimes even 4-6 in a row.
Right now my second channel has the most subscribers (280~) and this is what the last days of videos looks like:
Pretty cool, huh? Still low count views, but slowly I am getting my audience. After changing the niche to a more precise one I started to notice that YouTube Algorithm started to push my videos further.
The third channel isn't that cool (Mostly because in this channel niche is hard to find content):
After reading Sergau's thread responses I saw that if you already had an active account in the past, you can use it and it will be more appealing for YouTube. So 2 days ago I started my 4th channel. It has 1.9k subscribers and was inactive for about 2 years, the main problem is that it has mainly an Ukrainian audience (I am making all of my shorts content for English-speaking countries) and was for a very different niche, also I applied to a monetization program several times in the past, but because I was young and stupid it was declined 3 times! After posting my first video... It actually did great, only 500 views, but still, it is way better than the other 3 channels that I've been grinding on. Here is it now:
So yeah, this is what I wanted to tell you guys! Now I will be updating this thread to keep me motivated and share my experience with you! If you have any questions or just want be inspired, you are welcome to reply!
I will continue posting 2 videos a day on 4 channels every single day. The Main goal is to get monetized!
