What is YouTube Shorts?

YouTube Shorts is a new feature on YouTube. By using this feature anyone can create a YouTube Short Video from their Smartphone.

I personally feel if you create a YouTube Short Video through your Smartphone camera and edit it through editing apps then you will get much more watch time than a non edited raw video.

Previously when YouTube Shorts was launched for the first time it was available for only a few users YouTube App. But now almost every user can make a short video within a minute or two. It’s better to create a Shorts video in vertical length (9:16) than horizontal length (16:9).

It’s better to create a Shorts video of length 15 sec as per my experience. But if think you make 59 sec or 30-sec videos too. Remember if you edit the video, you will get more views.

There are various android apps like KineMaster, Inshot, VN, PowerDirector etc which you can use to edit your videos.

How To Viral YouTube Shorts?

If we want to viral YouTube Shorts quickly then we have to follow the process consistently. There is no rocket science in digital marketing. For someone, it takes one day to viral and for another one, it takes 1 year to viral. Always remember the process is ]more important than the result.

Every digital marketer says social media platform always push their new features. So that users can use it more in their daily life. As of now, YouTube is pushing YouTube Shorts.

If your channel is in the tech category then don’t upload Shorts other than technology. For example, if you upload a Shorts video on dancing, cooking and your channel is related to tech. Then your channel will be in danger. Because subscribers who came to your channel from Shorts will not watch your videos or go back instantly after opening.
