I Tried YouTube Shorts For 24 Hours | Results transcript

I gained 25 000 views in the first 24 hours of starting new YouTube channels I'm going other channels to over 400 000 subscribers and I believe anyone can do the same if they follow a proven process here is a practical guide on everything you should do in the first 24 hours hour one I started by deciding what type of content I was gonna create if you have no idea like I did open a private window and for 30 minutes scroll on the shorts feed it's important that you don't get distracted and end up in a scrolling Loop you should carefully analyze ensure you watch and apply the following criteria to determine whether it's a suitable Niche criteria one their Niche is repurposed content this is where you download clips from YouTube edit them and then upload my shorts channel was entirely repurposed and then generated more than 400 a week I recommend these niches to anyone because all you need is a device and some basic skills and editing which I'll teach you later using cap cut criteria two the niche is trending this will give you the highest chances of going viral because you'll be engaging with an existing fanbase using these criterias I found a niche I choose internet Creator highlights for this Niche I need to create a script voice over and then I need to edit the short this Niche meets my criterias because it's repurposed content and it's only been going viral among a few channels I know that you've probably seen Creator highlights before but the editing style and the voiceover really sets this content into its own Niche there was also another Niche that I chose to enter the niche is IRL content where a person stands on different types of food to see how many will support his weight what caught my eye with this Niche was that only one Creator was doing this and all of his content has exceeded more than one million views I know that this Niche requires original content but I chose to select it anyway so I could prove to you why repurposed content is so much better now that I had the niches I created the channels I named the first channel precise which was the creator highlights and the other loop egg which was the food crushing content I created in both the profile pictures and Banners using capricard's free photo editor the entire process of creating the channels only took 30 minutes because it doesn't affect how many views we get when we start uploading hour two I started the process of creating the first short and this required a video topic if you have no idea for your first video topic like I did go to established channels in your Niche and take inspiration from their viral shorts for my Niche specifically I found the most viral were summarize videos from a popular long-form channel so I chose to also summarize a video from the popular Channel also while you're studying take notice of how frequently created is in your knee shot editing for my Niche there is some type of edit every second and even if your Niche doesn't you should still aim to because it increases something called swipe through rate and average percentage viewed continue watching to learn how to apply frequent edits to your shorts hour three and four after two hours of editing writing and recording a voiceover the first short was uploaded and it was 19 seconds in length this might seem like a lot of time and it might take you even longer to make your first short you need to remember that you will get faster and your Niche probably won't be so time intensive as mine for example I can create shorts for my football channel in less than 30 minutes because the edits are so much more basic our five and six I did go ahead and start creating a second short and it was completed after two hours but I didn't upload the second short because the first short still had no views you never want to flood the algorithm especially when YouTube hasn't even pushed your last piece of content by this time I'd spend over six hours on the channel and I was starting to get tired so I logged off our 18.

I woke up to 3 000 views on the first short I expected this long letter views for my first short because it takes time for YouTube to understand what audience suits your content and we can prove this by looking at our metrics for the short we can see the average percentage viewed was 108 which is very high in a sign that the short should go viral but if we look at the swipe through rate it is 55 which is very low and means that we're not engaging with the Right audience I still do not upload the second short as the first short was still getting views and actually got pushed into the algorithm in the late afternoon so I didn't want to slow this growth how to edit viral shorts you first need a video editing software to use I recommend cap card because it's free and it has all the features you need in one place to go viral I use the desktop version but you can follow along on any device because it's available to use in your web browser to make it short we first need to drag clips into our timeline these clips are specific to my Niche but you can follow along from any Niche because the principles of frequent editing Remains the Same for these clips we want to only use parts of the videos so we'll have to cut the clips using the split tool I will now repeat this for all of the Clips in the timeline until I have a sequence of smaller clips that are engaging next you will need to change the aspect ratio of the videos by clicking ratio and selecting 9x16 but since now we have these ugly black borders we will need to increase the size of the clips now that our Clips are ready we want to add edits every one to three seconds to keep the viewers engaged both visually and auditory Capcom makes this so easy from their stickers tab where you can use hundreds of Graphics usually other editing programs you have to go to Google and download these yourself so these being in one place really speeds up your editing process I will now drag in an arrow to emphasize the video topic which is Mr Beast and I will change the size and position I will also adjust the length of the graphic so it's only on screen for one second so we can also have auditory change I will also drag in a pop sound effect from the audio Tab and that's how you add your first frequent edit now you just need to get creative and add edits every few seconds capcat also offers many AI features that will help you speed up your workflow and get creative I have worked with capcart to bring you this tutorial and there's a link below if you want to download capcart for free hours 19 to 24 for I started the process of creating content for the food crushing Channel it took four hours to film and then one hour to edit the shorts while recording I was reminded why repurpose content is so much better for example in the first short the cones weren't crushing and satisfying I like the original Short I was trying to replicate despite not getting perfect results I still uploaded the shorts over a 48 hour period to ensure there was adequate time in between uploading now let's look how the channels performed over the 24 hour period the precise Channel reached 17 subscribers and 15 000 views over the first 24 hours the engagement for the shorts were really good and this is a positive sign for starting a new channel you will also notice that there is a large difference in views between the two shorts since there is such a difference in the video topics we cannot be certain about the reason behind this but it is probably because YouTube is starting to understand what audience engages with my content best comparing the short metrics there is a slight difference in the average percentage viewed by large difference in the swipe through rate of 10 percent and this is where the view difference is coming from now let's look how the loop egg channel has performed the channel reached 7000 views in the first 24 hours and we gained 8 subscribers just like the precise channel the engagement was higher but there was still a large difference in views between the two shorts with these two shorts there's not much difference in video topics so it's safe to assume YouTube is starting to understand what audience engages best with my content and comparing the metrics of the two shorts there is a large difference in both the average percentage viewed and the swipe through rate here is the rest of the analytics and overall this channel performed worse compared to the precise Channel and considering how difficult this content was to create it really highlights wire repurposed Niche is so much better I would say both channels perform very well over the first 24 hours and are now set up to continue going viral and if you're new to shorts don't compare your results and get discouraged if you practice what I've said in this video and over time you try trial there's no reason why you shouldn't see numbers similar to these
