We've had several CZcams shorts go viral, gaining millions of views! We struggled a lot with the Shorts platform at first, but today we have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. So today we wanted to share some of our secrets!

Shorts are insanely difficult to be consistent! You can make the best short and it will literally do nothing, upload a potato with googly eyes and it will go viral haha
Seriously! 😂
Fr
🤣
Yeah this is very true!
😂 😊👍
Yeah. Decently sized shorts creator as a living here, Creativity needs to take a hit at the start, and my biggest tip for anyone starting shorts is.. Follow Trends don’t try and start trends at the start.
needed that advice! especially coming from someone who's made it as a shorts creator, how has no one else seen this comment yet?! lol
THIS! Thank you
This comment deserve more visibility and likes. Give it a like so more people see it.
I also want to become a CZcams creator and I do lots of efforts in my video but at the end I think, no it's not gonna a good one so I don't upload it can anyone please tell me that what type of content should I include in my videos
Hi milrus
Stopping 12 year olds from saying "First"
🫡
Yes
Good job, we appreciate your work
bruh I wasn't even gonna do that 😭
Yeah bro it’s so annoying
Shorts still work really great for me on my second channel. I mean, I am just small content creator and I work really hard (I also use a little bit of fame- ster, but that's a necessity nowadays). I just give all my videos small initial boost, and that caused them to spread literally everywhere, bringing more and more organic views day after day.
Hey, how do you do that? use the fame-ster? I am so unclear what is OK to use and what is not???
Hows best to use
But I can't see you shorts? Why did you hide them !
@@Frenchwoodgirl888 That’s just hidden marketing, so everyone who reads the comment jumps into searching for that “secret method.” don't fall for it.
@@Mrs_961 Do you know when its appropriate to use fame-sters pics?
I've dropped one short a day since September and it has blown up my channel. These tips are great advice except for that you SHOULD try to push people from your shorts to your longs. I have gained tens of thousands of extra views on my livestreams simply by linking them as related videos in my shorts. Good stuff vidIQ!
We got you:)
Done Please ✅💜✅💜✅
What ive seen- you cannot PUSH....they will go on their own if they want to...nothing you can do if they dont
Captain Will? Yoooo I’m a fan ❤😊
Congrats! I love hearing that.
Remember: CZcams is about passion, you’ll get famous one day, don’t give up and don’t be rough to yourself.
Thanks for saying this, I'm a new tuber and my dream is to be able to take off. The start has been slow but I am determined to share my game play and share my personality with the world. I've gone from zero views almost always to finally traction, small but it's movement. Just need them people to sub but time will bring it
@@poka26ev2 this inspirational 🥰😫😫
This video was very needed. We get stuck at around the 2k to 10k view mark consistently, and sometimes the watch time, CTR, and all other metrics are actually GOOD and STILL, they fall off of a cliff. Let me tell you, when our first short gets 1 million views, I will edit this message and let you know! ❤❤❤
Let us know if it works. I'm trying now. The less Seo I do the more views. Strange
@Paws-And-Claws-Top-Animals Oddly, yeah! We've been playing around with techniques like "unchecking the publish to subscriber" button as suggested by Thor from Pirate Software. We've tried adding descriptions and tags. We've tried different lengths, loops, and hashtags. There isn't really a real rhyme or reason for it to us yet. We've had videos with NO SEO, and it's been about 10k, and we've had ones where we took extra care and time on it, and it's not done well at all. I guess the real test is maybe uploading 2 of the same video and doing one of each. That might be the litmus test we need.
@4FramesPerSecond Agree. THINK Media has no channel tags that I see. To be honest my channel for my home videos has 4000 videos since 2006 and does better with no effort. Maybe Age has something to do with it as well. Uggg
On one of my channel, I got 3.2 million view in 3 days then it all gone, like never happened anything...it's the YT Algo, then it likes your video, it will give you beyond imagination, then all stooped!
@@ACEWouldYouRather Without knowing you or your channel, how did you follow up with it? What was your immediate next video when eyes were most on you?
i did hear from rob and from people that work from youtube that when you have little short views that the youtube algorithm is trying to find your seed audience which is basically the algorithm trying to find a audience that will always watch your content
Done Please 💜🖤💜🖤
I started my channel posting dark psychology and teaching the reality of the world .. the start was little good.. I try to post one video every day.. but it becomes tiring as the day passes and no results... Now I am at a point where my shorts get hardly 5 views.. but I will try to put the things I learnt from this video... Fingers crossed 🤞🏿
‘Videos are like a restaurant menu’ and I think shorts are like a conveyor belt sushi bar.
I find visual cues, ASMR-type content and building to the final product interesting, even though I love high quality content being uploaded, it does not please the younger audience who are totally into random things. It's insane how something seemingly "low effort" gains tons of views too but that's mostly because people know who they are. :3 I hope everyone keeps growing, its a struggle when some people only want to focus on big numbers indeed! It'll come. 🎉🎉
Done Please 💜🖤💜🖤💜
Yes you are right 😮
I have 11 subs!
13 now
14 now
thank you both so much I now have subscribed to both of you thank you so much guys!!!!!!!
i have 22 subs
I have 22 subs
Thank you for putting the lights in the description I was the one asked about them in your last video or video before last so thanks for adding them in the description appreciate it and appreciate the tips
Quality doesn't matter much with shorts if you're a small channel... they're very random... all you need to do is trick the algorithm, make shorts the algorithm likes while making sure people will also like it enough to push that like button every now and then (this rules out telling a story, as a small channel any short that's over 15-20 seconds is likely to fail)
Swiped-viewed rate also doesn't matter, nor does AVD with shorts....
My most successful shorts had low viewed-swiped rate and AVD at first while by far most of my shorts with over 90% viewed-swiped ratio and >100% AVD flopped with just a handful of impressions
I btw have had great success with getting people from my shorts to my long-form content.... it definitely works!
Excited to apply!
Done Please ✅💜✅💜✅
Though I am just starting to create CZcams shorts, I have a suggestion for you. You can feature your cat in your shorts perhaps in a separate channel. Your cat is adorable and has potential to be viral😅
😀👍 I did it
ahahah yes, this cat is a star....
@@vidIQ vidIQat
My first TWO shorts got some traffic and were picked up for the feed, then suddenly after those two - basically nothing at all. Even though they started out with good impression to click ratio and watchtime over 100% that really didn't plummet. Can't really tell what and why, honestly 😁
😂
I have had a similar experience. After posting 10 shorts (2-3 shorts per week), my views went from 0 to 100. It's not a huge improvement, but it's progress.
@@LegendYokai I had around 800 on the first one and 1,5k on the 2nd one. But I mean, my channel is only 1 week old, so I can't really judge anything by that but yeah. All shorts after the first two are basically under 50 views and stuck with absolutely no movement at all :D Even though all their graphs indicate interest - watch time was high, impressions were basically equal to views, retention was almost full, too. Can't really judge it STILL, because it's a very new channel. But if algorithm works how we are led to believe it works, those shorts should have gotten SOME traffic, and not stagnate to death. :D Data doesn't lie, but it seems like it kind of could.
I have a quick tip for y'all
Use copyrighted music (Post it from your CZcams app and add the music from there - make your video have no audio before importing it into the app).
The shorts I post on my personal channel gets - 2k views within the first 3hrs
It depends on the time your audience is online
That's when it gets viewed
IDK but my videos aren't going to far as I am expecting
My shorts video with the highest views is only 25.8k
Altogether my channel has gotten 148k views from 21 videos on YT shorts
It's still a ball game and I'm learning
And on my second channel - faceless YT channel
I posted my second Shorts video
And I got 26k views within two days
Overall, it depends on the quality of the video and sometimes the music you use on it
This is typically me
This is some awesome advice 😎
hi
4:32 cat appears
I saw that too!
Of course:)
@@vidIQcat
So you're making animal videos 😊 @vidIQ
Yay cat ❤
Great vid on Shorts, Dan! It also seems that using moving captions in your Shorts can be effective way to keep viewers' eyes on the screen as well
Very true!
Whenever I upload a good short it skyrockets to 2,000 views on average in an hour at most, and then stops instantly. I have no idea why and am struggling to fix it.
Same for me except sometimes yt tested my short for a few hours/days & then skyrocket and then views flatlined
@@Sujoy.Gaming That's because CZcams finding the your initial audience (seed audience) it takes time
Its because youtube tests your shorts with an audience called "seed audience". And if the audience engages with the short well, it will get a huge boost and skyrocket. But if the audience doesnt engage with it, for example, swipes away, bad like to view ratio etc, youtube will not push it out into further "main audience".
@@memematrix69420 Okay thanks. But when CZcams shows the seed audience it gets me tons of subscribers and sometimes hundreds of likes, is that not good enough to push it to the main audience?
What do you think is an appropriate viewed/swiped ratio and like ratio . I am creating shorts in one of the most competitive games (pubg) . Recently managed to get over 66% viewed vs swiped viewed/swiped ratio and 92% retention for 28sec short and ut went till 11k. Likes were 243 (average likes on this short were less than some other top performing shorts)
I really need to get decent at storytelling... But I have a question. What would you recommend to art/beauty/dance creators whose shorts are often based on transitions or focused around the music? A lot of short videos of this type (for example, makeup transitions, and they don't have to be too dramatic like you've erased 60 years) have a lot of success, but mine and a lot of people's gain a decent amount of views, but rarely go viral. What can be improved about those? Is there a better way to hook people in besides adding text on screen? They kind of understand from the start it's an art or makeup transition video or, for example, a dance, so how do those big creators get people to watch the whole thing, while the rest of us can't?
Done Please ✅💜✅💜
Did the method “but..so..but..so “ and story telling tips my numbers “ AVD :116.7% STR :60.7% - 39.3) I’ll update yall in a week to see where it goes if yall wanna know 😅
I'm taking it slow now to refuel myself pumping out content is great I agree sometimes you don't give yourself time for new things or new idea's.
Keep up the great work, you've got this!
Perfect. This lets me know that you guys are actually putting in the work and although you are a bigger channel you still face the same challenges
THIS IS SO HELPFUL! I am trying to just get to my 1000 subscribers and the watch hours and I am SPENT AND DONE and totally had a meltdown this week trying to do diy craft videos 5 days ( almost ) a week. Like I can not humanly do another crappy craft and that's just it ! Being creative doesn't come on demand! And it takes money and time to actually make it, step it out, shoot it, edit it and I have been so upset from all of this.
Part of my frustration comes from younger youtubers that seem to make 5 videos and get millions of views ( i do wonder if its from a Boost$$) All of that said I am going to go back and look at my shorts from some of the tricks you mentioned and see what happens. Its a lot easier than covering ALL of my kitchen cabinets with sky blue contact paper to look relevant for a DIY ! I can't wait to try these tips you posted! wish me luck and check out my station ! I am trying lol
anything can blow up in today's world. I feel like quality doesn't matter in this regard
Thanks for the tips, I created a shorter version of a wildlife video that did well a while ago, and by listening to your advice it has now really taken off! THANKS!
I watched an earlier vid iq today thats around 5 months old mention younger channels should post one short a day analyze what works best. do you think that is still a good idea or is it best to only put out top quality shorts if your main focus is long video?
4:32 - 4:40 cat 😺 in the background ❤😂
YAY COOL CAT❤
I’m short
😭
real
Shorts are a great way to attract new subscribers and rack up views reliably.
Thank you so much! I have been struggling with Shorts but this such a big help! Keep grinding everyone! Hopes that we can get that Silver Play Button soon! ❤
Great advice, I'm finally started to find my momentum with shorts. I had used some of those automated long form to shorts software, but they don't do what you need to do for a short to be really viral... You have to actually edit them as you say.
i have a question can my long form channel can get hurt by making short form videos
yes
@@sahants i am using shorts to gets first 1000 subs then long form
Long form video don't get much views when you get sub from shorts.
Got 100+ subs under a month
Hell ye nice job
Keep at it man hehehe
@@GyreArts thnx
16 I just started
@@creativeInstincts-yq6lz nice
3 I just started
After doing all of these, I've come to realize that none of it matters for small channels. Just find a trending hashtag and cross your fingers.
Where can I get lights like those in the background???
Check out the description😁
@@vidIQ thanks
Yea I make shorts to post everyday. It’s so hit and miss
Newbe here. Considering making a long form video, saving it but also edit it and save the part that sums everything up and using that as a short.
If you are a small CZcamsr like me, never give up even if you always fail❤😊😊👍👍
I bet you haven't realized this, but the titles of CZcams Shorts have changed to only being 1 line rather than the entire thing. Check out any CZcams Short with a decently long title and you will see the entire title will not appear. 😮
But Did you really break the *CZcams shorts Algorithms*?? Or just click baited me? 🤔🤔
We have to keep going, fighting!
If shorts are not made to get people to watch your long form content, why shorts? I'd assume it's a great way to get people to click on your longer vids. Regardless, thank you. I need to step my short game up!
I have been trying some of these tips on my shorts, not quite there yet but this has given me more clarity, Thank you
hello thank you for the help i only had 100 and now 261 thanks alot!
My Shorts get way more hits than my longer videos
Nice info. Thanks!
Sheesh I’ve done 42 shorts a week since August 2023 and 7 million views later
I seemed to have missed the 'Secret' formula this video was meant to have offered
Thank You for this! Just like all ur other informative videos. I need it
Just started youtube doing shorts. Hoping to get it done. Thank you for this video!
I do believe that shadowban really exist in CZcams 😤
There is no doubt that it exists.
4:59 the last few shorts I’ve posted have all gotten in that range so why are mine not doing those views?
I only get up to 8K on shorts, then all of a sudden i got almost 350K for one video i didn't even exert on effort to make. I just wrote my comment on a popular TV drama that had no closure for their two main characters. It got about 600 subs, too. I actually do not understand why 😂 I think, indeed, people are invested in a story.... With some shorts, i only get barely a hundred when i spent so much time editing them. Oh well...
samesies haha the less effort you do the more views u get 😭
I just hit 50 subs thx soooooo much brooooo!!!!!
Once my shorts channel blew up it got terminated. Idk why it did but i'm waiting for a real person to review it through twitter😅
My shorts were getting decent amount of views, and all of a sudden... BARELY NOTHING!. Frustrating and kinda makes you lose motivation :(
same here, did it pick back up?
Let’s keep grinding guys! Don’t give up
My shorts were getting decent amount of views, after I recieved an email about My channel doesn't sufficient channel history Anyone could help me about this matter?
This was really helpful as someone doing long form and shorts, this helped clarify a new strategy, thanks guys!
Thanks for Sharing Nice Advice Thank-you VidlQ 💖 ❤💛
I will not upload any videos now I'm retired I will upload on TikTok
How to make short for a music video channel?
My content is getting 0 views and I do all of the steps needed. What is happening?
one of the biggest issues that people don't talk about is your subscribers are actually hurting your channel. if they are not watching your video when youtube pushes to them first that actually hurts your channel
Hope u all grow ur channel🙂
Same to you, just subbed ❤
The best approach to achieving viral success on CZcams is by offering something distinct from others. Highlight what sets your channel apart and create videos that break the mold, catering to popular interests while presenting a fresh perspective. By delivering content that resonates uniquely with your audience, you increase the likelihood of capturing their attention and going viral.
Started this channel 3 weeks ago, and yeah this is not easy guys, pray for me
Pretty soon AI will get all the best ideas just like youtubers do. We ain't gonna exist soon boys.
4:33 Cat: let me ruin your video
I’m confused people saying shorts are bad for your channel?
Can you tell me how many seconds of the video count as viewed vs swiped away ratio?
I’ve been posting gaming shorts consistently since probably June of last year, and today I hit 600 subscribers!
While I’m proud of my progress on CZcams, I lost my son back in November and it’s been the hardest part of this whole journey…
Staying consistent afterwards felt impossible, so I’ve just been taking it easy and doing daily shorts rather than working on a big projects for now.
I haven’t really come up with a content strategy or anything either, and I know it’s pretty important to do that if I want to take things to the next level.
So if you guys have any advice or suggestions feel free to let me know!
God bless! 🙏
I started CZcams back in 2021 but life got hard. I became a single father, but then lost them due to a mental breakdown... Started back recently and hoping I can somehow make it so hopefully one day I can get my kids back. Upto 134 subs as of this comment, hoping I can come back to this comment in a year and put down a crazy ass number 😅
I’m very passionate about my content but I’m still struggling to get noticed. Went down to a few posts a week from posting everyday but still nothing. Is it time I got ‘the message’ or I keep doing what I do and cross my fingers🤔
Keep going, we subbed ❤
never give up
I created this channel few months ago and I have now got over 75k+ views. I am also getting views for my long form content.
Yeah, cool stuff! Not much for shorts lately, but will give it a try soon again! Cheers and good luck everybody!
I had a couple channels on schedules that killed me in the end. Within a year I was burnt by both, and didn't enjoy it.
My youtube shorts have suddenly stop getting views. Even if it is a trend. I see other people do the trend and they get lots of views but when i do it i barely get 10. Don't get me wrong I add tags , hashtags in title and description. I also try to give best editing. I just don't know why the algorithm is declining me.
My guess is u deleted a video to reupload it and u got shadow banned so u just gotta go ahead and endure it
I started my CZcams channel in 2007. Now I uploading videos and shorts.
My shorts are in English but not shown in English-speaking countries at first. It was not like this before...
Did you mention that in the language section(that your video language is English)Try doing that if you haven't
@@Sujoy.Gaming Yes, it is like that.
My views dropped off at the very end as well, good to know I should cut it off
I started 2015 and still not getting anywhere with shorts..
Has no impact, since algorythm changed again, we are told.....
This is my go to channel and this is the only channel on CZcams that I am subscribed to and I like is the only one that I am subscribe to the other life
How to get a million views?
TERRIFIC!
YOU'RE AWESOME!
BEST REGARDS!
I subscribed 🎉 ty for the info. Celebrating 5 k subs
Imma try this
Can i ask you should I put tags to my shorts or it is not good to my short video ?
the tension loop makes so much sense
My shorts video is the best progressive to my channel but i want my long video also viral
Is there an advantage to uploading shorts from the phone rather than desktop version?
Persistence, patience, and hard work are the keys to success. Best wishes to all beginners, myself included, on our journey to reaching our goals.
I have 60-75% on long form and I got 20 views, and over 65% on swipes and 120% retention getting 1K up to 3-4K. Can somebody explain this?
are you boy ?? :)
4:36 Nice cat, looks just like mine
Thank you
