From 0 to 1,000 Subscribers in Just 9 Days… How I Did It

the fastest way to get to 1 000 subscribers on YouTube right now is to post YouTube shorts and I have proof butt warning it's really not as simple as that there's actually a right way to do this and there is a wrong way to do it for example on a brand new Channel that I started recently with zero subscribers I posted a YouTube short and you can see here in the first 28 days it got 7 405 views not too bad so I decided to try this out again and in the first 28 days of

my second YouTube short it got 32.1 000 views again not too shabby but I got an idea I thought I could do better than this so on my third YouTube short I tried something completely different and you can see within the first hour of posting this short I got 76 000 views and today that short has brought in over 2 million views and six thousand 600 subscribers now if I just would have hosted this kind of a short on my YouTube channel on day one you can see I would have hit a thousand subscribers in

nine days now on this channel it actually took me 28 days to get my first 1000 subscribers but I believe I can help you get there even faster people know that YouTube shorts are getting pushed by the algorithm right now and so if you are posting YouTube shorts the chances are you're probably getting a lot more views on your shorts than your regular videos especially if you're just a beginner however what a lot of people don't know is that shorts actually convert more subscribers than long form content does and here's the proof on this channel

I posted a regular video and you can see that it took off and got a million views in the first 62 days and if we cross over to the subscribers we can see that in the first 62 days it got 1 241 subscribers from those 1 million views now on the YouTube short we can see that in the first 19 days ago got a million views and when it comes to subscribers on that day 19 when it hit a million views I got 3910 new subscribers that means that my shorts are getting three times as

many subscribers as my regular videos let me explain why the first two shorts did not do as well as my third short you see on the first two I really didn't give it much thought I actually used the clip method that you can do on your phone and so I didn't even have to edit these shorts I just pulled them from my long form content I clipped it into a short I tried to add some text and picked the best moment from that video and they did pretty well but they ended up tapering off and

not performing that well over time now on my third viral YouTube short I decided to do something completely different I decided that I was going to spend the extra time to make a Youtube short from scratch and upload it to YouTube now I spent a lot more time on the script and the edit so this is going to take a lot more time than just clipping something on your long form video however it ended up being totally worth it so let me share exactly what I did and how you can do this too and if

who are already watching some of the videos on your channel so you want those people to be interested in because this is the first pool of people who YouTube actually sees if they like your video and if they should send it to more people and since my channel is about basketball and the NBA I made sure that my YouTube short was going to be about the NBA now the Second Step you need to do is your research you want to start looking around in your Niche at different shorts that are going viral that are getting

a lot of views and you want to start to study them once you find some of these popular shorts you really want to write some stuff down specifically writing down the themes of the edits or the pacing or the text the music how are they putting this all together how long are these videos and start to analyze the data for what's working in the niche and I found that there was kind of a specific format that did really well within the basketball Niche and so I decided I was going to take that same format and

apply it to the video I wanted to make step three is to come up with ideas just like a regular long form video you really want to be thinking about what do the viewers want to watch and then from that you could reverse engineer a video that would be interesting to a majority of the niche now a major power tip here that is going to help you get a ton of views is to use Trend surfing this is when you utilize usually in your title and in your video the most influential keywords names brand fans

into your video now once you have your idea step four is scripting for the script you really want to be as concise as possible and leave no fluff in this script shorts are very quick and you want to make sure that you are getting to the point and getting to the next Point as soon as possible now if you have a really long script or maybe you're wanting to take one of your long form videos and condense that into a short what you can do is go to chat GPT and take that long form script

and then ask it to summarize and shorten that script then you can use that for your short step five is then to shoot your short and honestly for shorts the gear really doesn't matter but I like to think that audio matters more than video quality when it comes to the shorts feed and if you can ideally you'd move around and get different shots in different places throughout the video to kind of mix it up which leads me to step six which is editing now the goal here is you want to aim for a high average

view duration meaning when someone starts watching your video let's say it's a 60 sec second short which is the max duration you could do you want them to watch all of it or maybe it's a shorter short and it's 10 seconds long you want them to watch that over and over again and kind of Spike that average view duration now I have a method that I use that is going to help you guys as well and this is called the loop method now you've probably seen this before when you're watching a video and the ending

actually synchronizes with the beginning now if you're going to do this you really need to start thinking back during the scripting phase because the beginning of that script is going to have a sentence where the video starts off on the second half of that sentence and the video ends with the first half of that sentence and that's how it's able to kind of mesh together perfectly now as far as the length that I was shooting for I was going for a longer short anywhere from 40 to 60 seconds is what I was aiming for with

really the goal of keeping them entertained for as long as possible now when editing if you feel like you're kind of stretching stuff out to make it longer just for the sake of making it longer don't do this it's better to actually keep it shorter at the end of my video it ended up being 45 seconds long with the average view duration being 41 seconds and in the analytics right here you can see that at the zero second Mark it's actually a hundred and eighty six people still watching that means that there are people who

watch the very end of it and then they watch the beginning again and so that's why it's actually above 100 now that you have your short edited and you posted it on YouTube Here's the ultimate hack that a lot of people don't think of and that is to post long form content let me explain the YouTube algorithm right now really is trying to push shorts and it's trying to find the right shorts for the Right audience if you watch a new Creator let's say and you watch one video maybe two videos even if you don't

subscribe what you'll notice is you'll start to see that Creator's shorts on your shorts feed so what I've learned is that when people actually find your long form videos your shorts are gonna get boosted to those people who like your long form content now in order to do this step you need traffic coming into your long form content so that it can also spike your shorts views as well and there's actually a formula to do this that we call the perfect video recipe and this is the same exact formula that I use to get hundreds

of thousands of views on a brand new channel and even a million views on one video you can click on the screen to watch the full Master Class where I break down exactly how to do this for your own videos
