@ZypZapCommunity Sorry I meant 700K+ long form videos

@ZypZapCommunity Yep, I structured and made my shorts in a way that actually drove people to see the full video! I got multiple 700+ view long form videos with up to 33 percent views coming from short form carryover!

Short form really does hit different for discoverability. Did you notice any carryover to your long, form views?

On my old Sonic channel my realtime was almost entirely carried by my short form content! I definitely do believe that short form content is super important especially for getting eyes on vtubers or smaller gaming channels!

Literally cant wait for my PNG debut coming up soon! Glad to have something to make content with whilst waiting for my full model to finish-

@SushiArts__ yep i have

@WilliamOttowisp That’s exciting! Wishing you all the best for your debut in July ✨ I’m sure you’ll do amazing! By the way, have you already arranged your artwork for debut like logo, banner, model, emotes, or overlays? 👀

Hey Vtubers! If I can reach 15K subscribers a month after my debut on a fresh account will that be good enough for you to finally trust me with advice? No luck or paid promotion, all just pure strategy.

This is absolutely cracked! I recommend everyone go check this out because this advice is literally amazing and Hunter is giving it out for free! Vtubers if you have the time give this a read!

Yo after yesterdays events, as someone who gives out free advice- I AM BEING DUG IN - GOD DAMN!

@MooMooClover Thank you almighty clover for your insight

Idk who needs to hear this but being an account that debuted Aug 2024, Short form content 100% is the reason I am where I am today. Anyone who tells you that shorts ain't the meta either don't know any better or is straight up trying to sabotage your success, buddy

I do understand the overarching point here seeming to be "shorts arent as good as they used to be" but that is just from a view margin- Alot of companys are investing into short form content ads like on youtube and tiktok so even if its by a small margin now the RPM is definetally increasing not only that but shorts give vtubers the opportunity to have their impressions almost forced on viewers as long as they make their videos intruguing or interesting enough in contrast to longs where you would need a good thumbnail or even an already recognised name to grow! The idea a shorts view doesnt convert to "anything anyone cares about" is also quite wrong, ill be making a video soon to teach you all how to use shorts in an effective strategy to bring people over to your long form videos and even possibly streams!

@Pomatomaster I think they may have worded it wrong because after reading it through it seemed they meant "shorts are getting worse"

This is terrible advice. Short form content is currently one of the most efficient ways to promote yourself/your streams on multiple platforms. Forgoing shorts as a content creator is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot.

@StevieBlunder__ @VtuberConsult Literally couldn’t have worded it better myself, thank you so much for your insight! <3

Hi guys, (business-mode) Stevie here! Usually these posts are quite useful and would recommend taking a look at VTC's stuff for general principles regarding content creation and general marketing strategy! However, as someone who has literally been doing content strategy for creators for the better part of 3 years, I have disagreements with this post, or at the very least how it is formatted and going to try and dissect them point by point. 1A) Shorts PLATFORMS are built for normies. Obviously if you are not posting movie clips or already viral creators, you will be at a disadvantage. But its also like saying "if you are not posting videos about Mr. Beast your content will be worse than those who do". It's also kind of an obvious given that if you are a smaller creator, of course your content will do worse relatively. That's how audience size works. It'd be like saying "ultimate frisbee gets less views than football in america because it's less popular". 1B) Shorts are and always will be fast-fashion content. Their virality can be optimized to a degree (titles, game of the week shorts, thumbnailing, etc), but there is no such thing as "consistent shorts viewership" due to the nature of how these shorts are promoted and are churned through within YouTube. Why do you think when you go to a short's comments, 99% of them are from the day the short was posted? 2A) Shorts are (and should be!) just a piece in your overall grand strategy of content marketing. Anyone who thinks that "my one viral short will save my channel!" is deluding themselves. The point of shorts is NOT to see it as "X views = Y new subs and Z amount of money!". It is to be able to create (relatively) inexpensive pieces of repeatable (ideally) daily content so that viewers can have a positive association with a creator's brand overtime and be more primed to watch them on their own volition eventually and once you're in, you're in. 2B) What IS meaningful is stronger discoverability and brand association and eventual long term turnover rates. Obviously this means a lot less if you are already a large creator, but to smaller ones, every ounce counts. If you want the reason why there may be turnover: long term shorts content plans cost a lot and its likely that people just didn't want to pay for marketing plans whose effects are mostly invisible. As someone who has worked with [A NOW DEFUNCT COMPANY THAT SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS] to a degree for example, 60 shorts a month cost them about 2500-3500. Multiply that by 10-20 talents, you're looking at over 25-60K a month in pure marketing costs that break even in adsense if you're lucky but more often than not operate at a big loss. But again, you are using these shorts as advertising to building brand recognizably and boost discoverability, making money should not a primary concern with shorts! 3A) This is true, but its more due to the fact that shorts in general have been poisoned by slop content (AI commentary, ripped movie scenes, etc), content that appeals to hyper normies (there really is a whole world out there), see point 1A again. Why do you think the most popular content of the last 2 months was fruit / vegetable cuck drama? Additionally, lets not pretend that most giga large channels have naturally gained subscribers. Most of these channels grow through large scale subscriber carryover due to "brand association" (see how important it can be?) and people subbing just because they see "FaZe" in the name, but don't actively stick around. These channels also eventually just coast or get extremely lazy with their content which causes even more audience fall off. 4A) I agree with this point! You should make shorts content a regular part of your long term content pan and strategy, they are a proven formula which do still work. It is just that people misconstrue what shorts provide and to what degree and understanding the deeper nuances is important, but should not be written as hard off as VTC initially makes it seem to be. 4B) Yes crowdsourcing content is in fact swag. Overall, shorts are not God's gift to VTubers and doing them is an automatic 10 billion subs and dollars, they are a cog in the giant content strategy machine that should be respected and used accordingly. Only then will you see long term success and growth within your content.

@NorivarVT Good luck!

Thank you so much everyone for staying and supporting me! Just a day and few hours left before the official stream starts. I can't wait to finally start this vtuber journey fully! See you all there ✨️

@BookofVTubers One day ill be followed by the almighty book...

I often wonder how I get 5 - 7 gifted subs a day and then I remember I follow every VTuber ever. They don’t call me Big Brain Fugi for nothing.

Here are my goals 100K subs on the new youtube channel! Twitch partner! 10K on twitter! All by the end of the year!

@HattlingHattoru Thank you OG!

@WilliamOttowisp Wouldn't call that schedule unrealistic if it's something you're experienced in getting running tbf. Knowing your way around, who to contact & what you gotta do (and at pace) is learned stuff. If that something you can do from the experience you've gained then pop off! 😎

After my debut here is my schedule - 3 Gaming videos a week - 2 React Videos Daily - 5 Streams a Week - 6-9 Shorts a Day And before someone calls this unrealistic I’ve done it on numerous other channels, I’ll do it again! When it comes to me you won’t have to worry about running out of content!

@SushiArts__ Early June!

@WilliamOttowisp Oh that's great to hear Btw when are you debuting as a vtuber if may I ask??

@CassianFloros @EliasDelborne Ayo…

@EliasDelborne I‘ll show you 🫦

I just spent $2500 :)

@hiokleo Thank you!

@WilliamOttowisp It's privacy for many. And for some it's to stay in character. I think it's mostly a norm from idol culture.

I can figure out any vtubers age with this ONE question! So...am I correct?
