Full transcript
- 0:00How often should you post YouTube shorts
- 0:01in 2026? Here's the answer. YouTube's
- 0:04algorithm right now is looking for four
- 0:06things. How many views you get, how many
- 0:08people [music] watch to the end, how
- 0:09they engage, and whether they actually
- 0:11enjoyed it. More posts means more data,
- 0:14and more data means you figure out what
- 0:16works faster.
- 0:17>> [music]
- 0:17>> Posting every day seems like the move
- 0:18until you burn out and disappear for 2
- 0:20weeks.
- 0:22That inconsistency will kill your
- 0:24momentum faster than a slow posting
- 0:26schedule ever would. But, posting once a
- 0:28week isn't enough either. You're not
- 0:30giving the algorithm enough content to
- 0:32push, and you're not improving fast
- 0:34enough. Three to five shorts per week
- 0:36[music] is the sweet spot. It keeps you
- 0:37consistent, gives YouTube enough to work
- 0:39with, and is actually sustainable
- 0:41long-term. Find your number in that
- 0:42range and protect it. Show up every week
- 0:45[music] and the algorithm will start
- 0:46showing up for you. Subscribe if this
- 0:48helped.
