Hello, I have been in this amazing forum for 2 years but have never posted an IM before and I think it's time for my first journey.
I have been doing YouTube (long videos) + CPA for almost 3 years, which made me very familiar with YouTube.
I am not a very talented video editor but I decided to give this skill some daily time to improve my video quality, and since I was only doing long videos I decided to give Shorts a try.
The purpose of this journey is to keep me motivated and on track.

Journey plan:
I plan to grow a YouTube channel using short videos only, I am not thinking about how to monetize it now, my only goal is to grow the channel and get consistent views and subscribers.
This channel will cover a famous niche that I think a lot of people watch while scrolling on their shorts feed (I won't reveal the niche in this journey).
I will use an old channel that I have but I didn't use it for so long, this channel already has 430 subscribers.
I plan to post 2 daily short videos respecting the same schedule. (one at 7 pm and one at midnight)

Tools:
Used Clips: I will use clips from Pexels (my chosen niche has a ton of videos on Pexels that I can use).

Editing: For now I am only using Adobe Premiere Pro, if I start using any other software in the future I will update you guys about it here.
Script: ChatGPT with manual editing.
Voice Over: ElevenLabs.
Music: YouTube Library.

Goals:
One of my ultimate goals is to become better at editing shorts and learn new skills, that way I can make better Shorts/Tiktoks/Reels for my CPA journey and stop relying on long videos only. And I believe that by editing 2 shorts every day I will learn many new things about what the viewers want to see and how to make my short videos go viral.
Another goal is to make money with this channel (through Adsense or another way of monetizing)
For this channel, my goal is to
reach 10k subs in 6 months using shorts only, if I reach my goal in less than 6 months (Hopefully lol) then I will start working on long videos in the same niche as well, but for now I will only be doing shorts.
What I've done so far:
Shorts edited: 3
Shorts posted: 2
Views: 0
Subscribers: 430
I edited 3 shorts yesterday and posted 2 of them, I plan to edit as many shorts as possible when I have free time (As I am doing a PhD in real life + my CPA and other IM work) that way I can save all those shorts in my laptop and upload 2 every day, but even if I don't have backup shorts in my laptop, I will make sure to find time
(even if I sacrifice my sleep time) and edit 2 and upload them every day, as I believe that consistency is the key.

That's all for today guys, I am not a native English speaker so excuse me if my English isn't perfect.
I will try to update this journey as much as possible. Also in my 2 years here, I realized that the majority of people don't complete their journeys, that also motivated me to try it myself and see if I will be able to continue doing this for at least 6 months.
Wish me luck and I will be happy to answer any questions!
 
Were you able to earn good money doing cpa with youtube long video ?
 
I wish you luck my friend!!! I am trying to do something similar. I hope I have the same concistency as you do!

Can I ask you what CPA network do you use for the monetization of the long videos? Thanks

Update 1
Hello guys, I hope that everything is going well with you.
In the past 6 days, I've been grinding like crazy
on this journey and in the last hour something really interesting happened, so I said to myself it's time to update the journey.
When I started posting 2 shorts a day, they were only getting 3 to 4 views each, which is normal because I am just starting. But in the last hour, 2 of my shorts spiked and got almost 300 views in 1 hour!

This made me so happy as I was working hard on this channel. I was consistent with 2 uploads every day and editing more than 4 shorts in 1 day sometimes.

What I've done so far:
Shorts edited: 14
Shorts posted: 10
Views: 800
Subscribers: 434

I am highly motivated and happy after those first results, which will make me work harder to achieve my ultimate goal.
Again, if you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer them.
See you in the next update!

hey there i d be interested in getting in touch as I am looking to collaborate with someone who is into monetizing youtube shorts ! perhaps I have a beneficial partnership offer ! any chance i can get your tg or discord?
 
Good thing that I found this journey. I've been looking into CPA recently, and CPA-YouTube in particular (involving putting content behind a locker with offers).

One thing that I do not quite "get" yet, is the banhammer that (according to many) inevitably strikes, and as such you need to keep buying accounts. As I've never dabbled in YouTube, I find this a bit confusing, as you for example, seemingly are just growing 1 account with shorts.

Is it the fact you haven't started to monetize the account with CPA yet that makes it banhammer-free? Or is it the fact your niche is super white hat?

For this journey I am not doing CPA, I plan to monetize the channel in other ways.
And regarding the banhammer when doing CPA I just look for tricks and always think outside the box to make your videos stay long. (I had videos stay there for more than a year and almost 1 million views)
 
If you use Music from YouTube Library, would you be able to monetise those in future?
 
wish you the best, don't forget to be consistent while uploading your content and quality is always a must.
 
Good luck OP.

Hope you do well with your YT Shorts journey.
