Youtube SHORTS are the way to get traction on youtube. I've spoken on this issue before, and ever since the shorts program was introduced, as a response to TIKTOK, it's become the only real way to get any sort of real traction on youtube. I embraced it and saw my traction greatly improve and started gaining followers and seeing comments on my vids.
The best part is that you don't have to create new vids. You can simply repurpose existing vids in vertical format and bam, instact traction.
It's become nearly impossible to get traction on youtube these days. However, this way does seem to work It's a great way to get your music, your playing, etc. in front of a few more eyeballs which can lead to more people actually being interested when you put out some new music. That's become the most impossible thing.
To wit, here is my list of most watched vids for this period and 8 out of 10 are shorts. Give it a whirl if you have not and please let me know in this thread how it goes
BEN and I have been experimenting on Social media to see what works and what does not. He's been getting some great traction lately so I'm hoping he can share some insights as well.
