Hello

(this question may probably go for any kind of channel, not only my own case)

When starting a long term YT channel in a creative field with original content (whether comedy, music, movie etc.) at a rather low posting frequency and though with a bunch of videos under one's sleeve, should you:
1) post these videos in a "worse-to-better" order or the other way round ?
2) in particular, what to do if one video seems to really stand out ? Go with it first or build things up to it ?
3) can the answers to 1 and 2 depend upon "long form vs shorts" ?

I would like to avoid messing up the first steps, so any help is very much appreciated !!

Worse to better is good. It will show audience that you are improving.

TY. What I fear is that low posting frequency (because of videos long in the making) gives less headroom for strategy mistakes.

TY. You're right from an audience point. But what about the algorithm ? Would it not get me stuck in low numbers if nothing takes slightly off in the early stages ?
 
Just keep trying and find your own effective methods. There is no one-size-fits-all formula for developing a successful YouTube channel right from the start. The important thing is to not give up.
 
Thank you every one for these answers. Yeah, I must take the plunge one way or the other.

Do not mix ling form content with shorts. The audience for each is different.

Thank you for this one too, but this is the one I feared... So, there's still no definite answer or at least no statistical trend about this question, and I've personally raised it a couple of times. I think I'm gonna open a poll or something to survey that particular point.
 
yea the best way is to just post see what works then copy the same elements from the videos that are doing better. break down the video and try and see what you did right. was it the title, thumbnail a high volume keyword with low competition. figure out where users are leaving the video and see what you can do it keep them there. maybe rearrange the video information to give better info upfront and cut out parts of the video that dont add value
 
If you don't want to be frequent, then your video needs to be really engaging to retain your subscribers. Gradually progress from good quality content to higher quality, continuously improving until you discover what generates the most views then concentrate your efforts on working with that particular style
 
When starting a YouTube channel in a creative field with original content, it's important to decide on the order of video uploads. It's generally better to start with your best videos to attract viewers from the beginning. If there's a standout video, you can publish it earlier to grab attention. However, remember to continue creating engaging content afterward. The order of publication may vary depending on the video format (long or short). The key is to be consistent and listen to viewer feedback.

Thank you to both of you, though your points are slightly opposed. The psychological problem with posting the very best first (and in my case, there's really a"very best" video in particular because it's an evergreen and could be liked by kids too) is that the algorithmic basis will be, say, 0.0001 to begin with, hence a possibility for, say, X fold spread. If posting it later, the earlier videos may offer, say, a 0.01 algorithmic basis to begin with, hence a possibility of maybe XXX folds, with a big difference in absolute numbers (both views and subscribers).
The problem, too, is that I am quite sure I won't be able to produce an as good video as this one, because as many of you experience it, there happened to be a happy and unique connivance between the idea, the principle, the amount of work. That said, my opinion might be biased and we're back to the king argument: see what works, and shut up, man ! Ha ha!
Thank you again to all those responding here.
 
You can get fast feedback only from shorts, my friend posting abot 3-5 shorts per day, good ones goes to 2-5k views in 2-3 days.
 
the good think about youtube is the feedback that you can receive in the comments section, so if the video did not perform well most of the people will leave you a feedback there or what could make the video interesting, not all feedback is ok and try to order video from worst to to better is not a good idea, so just upload and correct through the Journey don't worry and normal videos and shorts are different see the shorts videos as short highlight of something.
