How to Make a Viral YouTube Shorts Channel | Results — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I made 900 per week in my first three
- 0:03months of starting a YouTube shorts
- 0:04Channel but if I followed the process
- 0:06that I'm gonna lay out in this video I
- 0:08would have seen these numbers a lot
- 0:09sooner so follow me as I apply this
- 0:11process to a new channel that will reach
- 0:13some crazy numbers search for a niche
- 0:16open a private window and start
- 0:18scrolling on the shorts theme open any
- 0:20shorts channel in the new tab that is
- 0:21uploading repurposed content and has
- 0:23more than 100 000 likes I don't take
- 0:26note of any shorts that are IRL content
- 0:28because one it is time consuming to
- 0:30create and two it usually requires some
- 0:32initial investment select the niche
- 0:34after creating a list of potential
- 0:36niches you should view each one and see
- 0:38if they upload consistent viral Shores
- 0:40we don't want to join the niche where we
- 0:42can only get one viral short and all of
- 0:44the others receive 1 000 views because
- 0:46that's not a sustainable business
- 0:48another check is the Channel's start
- 0:50date because if it's an older channel
- 0:52that has been going viral for some time
- 0:54it is likely the niche is very saturated
- 0:56which makes it very difficult to start a
- 0:58new channel within a final check is to
- 1:00seeing if the channel is monetized by
- 1:02inspecting the page Source because we
- 1:04want to enter a niche with a style of
- 1:06content that is monetizable after
- 1:08following this process I eliminated
- 1:10channels from my list until I got a
- 1:12channel named stylus they upload
- 1:14interesting moments of artists
- 1:15performing on stage what sets this
- 1:18channel apart was that it was created at
- 1:19the start of this year and all of their
- 1:21shorts were only uploaded in the last
- 1:23three months content review you should
- 1:25review how the content is created so you
- 1:27can start creating something similar to
- 1:29replicate the results when I reviewed
- 1:31the stylish shorts I found there was a
- 1:34video card subtitle sound effects
- 1:36Graphics Transitions and voice over
- 1:38occurring every second also another
- 1:40trick that this channel is using is that
- 1:42they have looping content this is done
- 1:44by cutting the first clip of the short
- 1:46and then moving it to the end so when
- 1:48the video ends it's like the short never
- 1:50finished because Shorts play on a loop
- 1:53this strategy and the frequent editing
- 1:55is all in efforts to increase the most
- 1:57important metric average percentage
- 1:59viewed if you are going to create shorts
- 2:01with voiceovers you do need to create a
- 2:03script to analyze Hooks and the flow of
- 2:05how the Creator presents information I
- 2:07write out the creative scripts by
- 2:09referring to the subtitles create the
- 2:11content for any shorts I create I
- 2:13download clips from YouTube by finding a
- 2:15free YouTube video downloader on Google
- 2:17try downloading your videos in 720p or
- 2:201080p because we don't want to download
- 2:22videos that look like this when we can
- 2:24download videos that look like this I
- 2:26edited my shorts using Adobe Premiere
- 2:28Pro and I focused on video Cuts Graphics
- 2:31subtitles soundtrack Transitions and the
- 2:34voiceover just like the stylus shorts if
- 2:36you haven't noticed yet we are taking
- 2:38inspiration from what's already working
- 2:40because there's no reason why we can't
- 2:42see similar results for our Channel and
- 2:44we can see this working for some
- 2:46football channels who have taken
- 2:47inspiration from my viral shorts I
- 2:50created a series of viral shorts with a
- 2:52unique video topic that I came up with
- 2:54other creators noticed how viral these
- 2:56shorts went in open dedicated channels
- 2:58to this video topic and in some cases
- 3:00these channels have even surpassed my
- 3:02channel by just taking inspiration from
- 3:04a small piece of my video topics there
- 3:06are many ways to edit so I won't go into
- 3:08more detail I will be doing a new
- 3:10updated full guide on how to edit in the
- 3:12future so stay watching my channel I
- 3:15need to know that when creating content
- 3:16add your unique twist this will happen
- 3:18naturally over time but I do need to
- 3:21mention that you shouldn't be copying
- 3:22scripts and video sequences one to one
- 3:25upload the content create a channel name
- 3:27it and then brand it once your channel
- 3:29is set up start uploading your shorts
- 3:31entitle them something related to your
- 3:33video topic don't spend too much time on
- 3:35your titles because when viewers are
- 3:37swiping on their feed they aren't
- 3:39reading the titles titling your shorts
- 3:41is just for the algorithm same with your
- 3:43descriptions wait for the views from my
- 3:46experience it does take a few uploads to
- 3:47get your first viral short and it
- 3:49usually does take a few weeks from your
- 3:51upload date before your shorts start to
- 3:53really pop off so don't give up when you
- 3:55get to the end of your first week and
- 3:57your shorts haven't taken off I know
- 3:59that some times it can feel like you're
- 4:01creating content for no reason because
- 4:03YouTube isn't pushing your shorts but
- 4:04you have to keep learning and creating
- 4:06content although if it has been up to
- 4:08four weeks of consistently making
- 4:10content at a high quality and you aren't
- 4:12seeing the results you should try
- 4:14another Niche I have done this in the
- 4:16past with other channels and it wasn't
- 4:18until I moved on to my next Channel that
- 4:20I realized my previous Niche was
- 4:22terrible you shouldn't view this process
- 4:24as a waste of time you will develop
- 4:26skills that you can take to other niches
- 4:28and you will start seeing results very
- 4:30fast results now it's obvious that this
- 4:32channel won't be monetized because I
- 4:34only uploaded these shorts as a test for
- 4:37this video but if you were wondering how
- 4:39much a channel like starless makes we
- 4:41can see that the channel range 260
- 4:43million views over the last month and
- 4:45using a short RPM of 2 cents they could
- 4:47be earning up to five thousand dollars
- 4:49for this last month this is a lot of
- 4:51money and I have achieved a similar
- 4:53result of two thousand dollars per month
- 4:55for my football channel but of course to
- 4:57reach these high numbers you do need to
- 4:58be doing views up uploads of 100 million
- 5:01views per month and there aren't many
- 5:03channels that can pull in this amount of
- 5:04views if you can gain up to 20 million
- 5:07views per month which I think is
- 5:09achievable for anyone you can earn up to
- 5:11400 per month if you told me that I
- 5:13needed to achieve 20 million views per
- 5:16month when I first started I would have
- 5:18laughed at you but you will learn that
- 5:19over time you do develop something
- 5:21called returning viewers just like
- 5:23long-formed content and I think this is
- 5:25a great income considering the time it
- 5:27takes to create this short for example
- 5:29each shot that I uploaded did take a
- 5:31maximum of one hour to complete what's
- 5:33next you might be wondering what am I
- 5:35gonna do with this channel I won't be
- 5:37continuing to upload on it because I've
- 5:39been focused on other channels I have
- 5:41been creating a new shorts channel in
- 5:43the background that I'm going to
- 5:44monetize so I can once again prove to
- 5:46you what I'm telling you actually works
- 5:48the reason why I'm not giving away any
- 5:51details is because the channel is very
- 5:53new and considering how saturated
- 5:55football shorts got after I created my
- 5:57videos it's something that will greatly
- 5:59do some Advantage a new channel I have
- 6:01been very slow putting out content here
- 6:03on this channel I am going to change
- 6:05this and start uploading every second
- 6:07week instead of monthly my next video
- 6:09will be all about how the YouTube shorts
- 6:12algorithm has changed and this is
- 6:14something I've learned about recently
- 6:15and it is a game changer for anyone
- 6:17creating shorts
