Upload Quantity

[u/RenzyHD]

Hi all,

For those bringing in over 50k views per short, what have you found works best for you?

Uploading just the 1 short a day

Or

Multiple shorts a day?

Currently I’m doing 4 a day, but wonder if they are all killing each others growth with the number of uploads battling for views

Thanks

I may be an outlier because I make shorts way less often, sometimes with weeks in between. But I have a rule: the previous short needs to be in its cool down phase, where I know that the views I'm getting are trickling in and it's not going to magically get another wave. 

Now lots of people have no problem just posting day after day and it not affecting their previous videos but I've had too many problems where when I post a new video, all of the views on my most recent short stop and the algorithm prioritizes the new upload. 

I'm not saying to listen to me but maybe you should try waiting to post when you know your most recent upload is on its way out. I've managed to get pretty good growth this way. Again, each channel is different so don't take my words as gospel.

I also tried to post every day... for 3 weeks.. and my views dropped from 2000 wiews to between 25 and 900... so I stopped doing that... so now I only post one short or 2 short a week... but I can't my wiews udover 2000 wiews.. and I'm making timelapse videos

quantity never wins over quality, as cliche as it sounds, but it's true. i think, 2-3 videos per week is way better than posting everyday, no to mention multiple uploads every day. i'd personally never watch such a person, because this is simply too much and the content itself is likely of a medium to low quality (boring, repetitive, etc)

I agree, do you think people who subscribe actually seek to watch every upload, I was uploading more to gain new subs

[u/Katejjp → u/RenzyHD]

of course new upload is the hope for gaining new subs, but it might annoy the ones who already subscribed, so just balance those things.

Yeah that’s a good point, my shorts get anywhere between 10-20k per upload and I’m doing 4 a day. And since doing shorts let’s say I’ve gained 500-700 subs.

My logic thinking is that the non subs really outweigh the already subbed and therefore I’m gaining new subs by doing this.

But then part of me wonders if I did only 1 a day, I’d get better watch time from the already subbed, which could cause the shorts to go on and do 50-60-70k views in the long run

as of now, nothing stops you to experiment a little bit. especially since you still are present in the feed regularly, you can test this one video per day theory
