Episode Synopsis

On this episode, I offer up a quick POV: YouTube Shorts.

Why YouTube Shorts?

YouTube wants Shorts to help boost long-form videos, not to be a ‘new TikTok’

YouTube still sees value in its long-form videos and will not be removing this

Want Shorts to be a way for creators to reach a new audience who may then become more regular viewers of their long-form content




Its ability to convert viewers into subscribers for your channel
Shorts also help you to navigate YouTube’s algorithm because your channel will see an increase in engagement, one of the key ranking factors for how YouTube prioritizes content

The increase in engagement is because YouTube is favoring Shorts right now
