  1. Repurpose your horizontal videos on YouTube
    Look at your top 10 videos in YouTube analytics and extract one main point from one of those videos to make a short video. It could be the beginning, middle, or end of your video, or putting multiple sections together in less than 60 seconds. If you want to know how to convert your regular horizontal YouTube video to a Shorts video, click link in the description below this video.
  2. Demonstration
    I recently created a Shorts video on how to make a Shorts video on your phone. Instead of giving a detailed 20-minute demonstration, I condensed all the points down in under 60 seconds. People love this kind of demonstration because it’s short and just gives the main points.
  3. Answer a question
    I recently created a Shorts video on what is a Shorts video. The video is answering a question using YouTube Shorts so you can condense the answers into a few seconds. It challenges you to get to the point right away, but it respects the time of your viewers.

  4. Tutorials
    I recently created a Shorts video on how to get more views on YouTube in 30 seconds. By adding 30 seconds to the title, viewers know exactly how long the video will be. One of the keys for a successful YouTube Shorts video is to stick to one main point instead of covering too many points in a short amount of time. Your Shorts video content should be able to stand alone as a single piece of content.
  5. Top benefits
    For example, in this Shorts video, I outlined the top seven benefits of making Shorts videos. Alternatively, I could have made a Shorts video on the pros and cons of creating Shorts videos.
  6. Promote a high-performing video
    Look at the top 10 videos on your channel that are getting the most traffic, then select one of those videos and do a Shorts video on one point of that video. At the end of your Shorts video, promote your high-performing video by linking to it in the in-screen. The purpose of doing this is that you’re attracting new viewers that are browsing a short shelf on their mobile phone and redirecting them to another video. This gets viewers to stay longer on the YouTube platform, which increases the probability of your videos being recommended by YouTube. If your videos get recommended by YouTube in Browse and Suggested videos, you’ll be able to grow your channel fast.
  7. Before and After
    For example, recently, I’ve been experimenting with different backdrops. I’ve got this backdrop and I’ve got this backdrop. Now you see this backdrop with a plant, now you see the same backdrop replaced with a light. Let me know in the comments below which backdrop you prefer.
  8. Storytelling
    If you tell a personal story of how you struggled with something and then overcame it, it will create an emotional bond with your audience that struggle with the same situation.

    Short Story Example
    For years, I used the iPhone to create my YouTube videos. It wasn’t until I upgraded to the Canon M50, that I noticed a remarkable change in the quality of my videos. As a result, I attracted more views and subscribers.

    See how I just told you a short story about my personal experience?
  9. Trending topic or Latest News
    If there’s a trending topic or a hot news item related to your niche, you can jump on it right away by creating a Shorts video. It will take you much less time to film, edit, and publish the video than long-form content.
  10. Tips and Tricks
    Focus on one powerful tip or trick that will help your audience. The beauty of doing this is they can just focus on one thing that will keep your audience engaged for 30 to 60 seconds. What I often do is link to a related video in the end screen so when a viewer finishes watching the Shorts video, they’ll continue watching a regular video on my channel. Just keep in mind that viewers won’t be able to see the end screen if they’re browsing the Shorts videos from the short shelf on their mobile phone.

Here are 4 powerful tips to get viewers to watch your Shorts videos.

  1. Create a captivating title
    Your title will appear on top of the video when viewers are browsing your Shorts videos from the short shelf.
  2. Create a strong hook in the first few seconds
    Grab viewers’ attention in the first few seconds of your Shorts video by using motion, asking a question, or doing something entertaining. If they watch the first few seconds, they’ll probably watch the rest of the video.
  3. Add a call to action
    Think about the purpose of your Shorts video is to get more subscribers, more views, or get them to watch the next video? If the purpose is to get more subscribers, then invite viewers to subscribe to your channel. If the purpose is to get more views, make sure you have a higher attention on your Shorts video and invite them to watch the next video in your series.
  4. Add the Hashtag #Shorts in the title or description if you’re not using the Shorts feature.
    This will enable your Shorts video to appear on the short shelf.
