Making short, under a minute, videos specifically for YouTubes expanding #Shorts program can get you a big bump in reach.

But, get the video hook in early. There is a more rapid attention drop-off.

Details of the YouTube Shorts Fund

A new video details how creators on YouTube could be offered payments of between $100 to $10000 each month, for creating popular and unique #Shorts

The most interesting thing here I think is that it's open to all creators, including those outside the YouTube partner program.

Do you need a seperate YouTube channel for Shorts?

MKBHD has officially announced a new channel for shorts. It's a trend at the moment, but is it the right way to go and why do YouTubers feel that there is a need for seperate channel for shorts?

Personally my view is that shorts aren't their own thing on YouTube. They are often used to make a short version of a long video on the same channel and this duplication is what suggest that the seperation is a good idea.

I'd say YouTube has dropped the ball. What was and still is needed are notification filters. So that subscribers can choose what they want to be notified of from a channel: no shorts, just shorts etc.

What's your view?

Remember video responses on YouTube?
.... Which were dumped way back in 2013.

Well it seems #Shorts have brought back a way to respond, at least for videos 60 seconds and under: use cut.
Though you can only use around five seconds from the Short you are responding to.

Easy? Try it out and let me know 👍
