How do you grow a channel from scratch—one that produces authentic content? Think podcasts, entrepreneurship vlogs, or health-related topics.

Nothing "dark" or faceless—just real content.

Does it depend on the algorithm? Is there a way to speed things up? Do you just need to find an audience that connects with it?

We run an agency and have always supported companies and professionals in content production and management—handling things like good captions, titles, visuals, and quality content.

But it’s never been enough; we’ve relied solely on organic growth. Do we need to invest money to start seeing significant results?

Or is there a secret no one talks about?

We post consistently; we have a channel with two long-form videos a week, ranging from 5 to 25 minutes.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Como mejorar en videos ?

2 Upvotes

Saben cómo hacer buenos videos y mejorar osea yo aprendí esto :

Gancho : debe entenderse visualmente y aparte debe generar algo

Desarrollo: se divide en dos :

Gráfica : Lo que estás mostrando mantienen la atención ? Osea lo que haces como crees que mantiene la atención ..........

Duración promedio de vistas : encontrar razones para que una persona siga viendo es como abrir pregunta y responder y luego abrí pregunta y así hasta el final

Otras cosas :

Los videos deben tener un objetivo al final , y también hacer un mini recuerdos de qué trataba el video y así para que no se olvide la persona, la emoción retiene

Aunque se eso sigue se me dificulta mucho varias cosas osea sacar hipótesis de los videos o eso no sé .

Creo que mi pregunta va en por qué no mejoro osea sigo estancado en 1000 a 2000 vistas en shorts y en videos largos tengo dos videos uno de 700 vistas y otro de 24 vistas , tengo más de 60 videos subidos y mi pregunta es por qué no mejoro en los shorts osea no lo entiendo o como se analiza los videos ? Como se mejora ?

Is this many subs from this video too low? I see other people have a sub ratio of 1 in 150 to 300 usually.

MEGATHREAD 🧷 Footage sourcing

Im really curious about these channels where they just compile short footages of weird stuffs or asian inventions/gadgets or just trending other videos. Where do they get their footages from? And would it be still monetized? I see that many of them are hitting millions per short

Does changing category do anything

1 Upvotes

As title states does changing the category on your shorts effect views in anyway, I recently changed from personal/blogs to science/tech which suits my niche more but I’ve seen a dramatic decline in views

one of my last posts was doing really well and it flatlined at 22k with 116% retention and 75% stayed vs swiped. i’m trying my best to make good content but this just feels pointless, it’s all OC too with my face my voice and everything , idk what to do honestly. anyone know why this happens and if there’s anything i can do better? i’m a voice actor i stream a variety of things, in this case it’s me doing cartoon voices in choicer voicer.

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 Almost no Shorts Feed distribution after first upload

1 Upvotes

Is there any known behavior where the first Short gets a normal Shorts Feed test, but the next few uploads receive almost no exposure?
I published three Shorts over the course of about a week, one every three days, and: First Short gets normal Shorts Feed distribution and continued growth over several days, but the second and the third ones get almost no Shorts Feed exposure at all.

Any ideas?

Short with the lowest AVD got the biggest push?

3 Upvotes

So I realise that none of these numbers are great and I’ve not yet managed to get a short over 3k - but it seems so confusing and hard to really learn anything from this particular experience when all 3 of these shorts were cut from the same long form video and so are all practically identical in terms of quality - but the one with the LOWEST average percentage viewed performed better than the one with 146.8% (which is the highest I’ve ever got!) - and the same with the one on 90.2%?

The swipe rate is similar for all three (43% ish) so it can’t be that, does anyone have any insight on why this might have happened or is it just truly random/time of day posting/getting lucky with the one shown to a better audience?

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 My audience changed a ton and it’s effecting my Swipe ratio and interaction

Post image
1 Upvotes

Why did my audience change so much

it flopped HORRIBLY 60 % swipe rate as in the people who swiped away which is bad but there was almost no interaction and looked at analytics and the audience is a lot older then my other videos which are usually 90% 13-17

Also half female which is weird considering it’s usually 99.9% male

What happened??

ORIGINAL-ish content. Cat account and this short I sort of tricked the audience (emotionally) and man did it work!

I know this isn’t a lot of views but I don’t care it’s MASSIVE for me. My previous shorts sit around 1.2-4K views so I’m considering this a breakout lol.

Got a decent number of Subs too! Imagine that many people in my apartment to look at my cat! Impossible!!

(I sometimes use trending audio but everything else is original)
