Monetization eligible editors will now be able to earn 45% ad revenue from Shorts. While this should not be the sole reason why you make a Shorts only channel, the extra revenue sure does help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube Monetization Update...

You want a preview to see what you\u2019re in for. The same goes for a YouTube channel. You can repurpose your long content and take small excerpts to make Shorts. This will act as a mini trailer for your channel. You can then redirect your viewer from the Short to the full video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/09\/howtocreatethebestchanneltrailer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> how to make the best channel trailer.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><strong>Cater to every kind of viewer<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5364\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215641\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-14-at-10.58.12-260x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215641\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-14-at-10.58.12-260x300.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215641\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-14-at-10.58.12-768x887.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215641\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-14-at-10.58.12.jpeg 845w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While YouTube is known for its long duration videos, some viewers may prefer shorter content over the former. Your channel may be missing out on a ton of viewers solely because they don\u2019t like long content. Therefore, in order to tap into that demographic, you can dedicate a channel only for Shorts. That may include excerpts from your long content or a new short content.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6><strong>Try your hand at both<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than often, creators have had more views on their Shorts than their long content. This indicates that you may be better at creating the former than the latter. To identify whether or not you can do better at Shorts than long videos, you can have separate channels to see which one yields you a better viewership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may be cumbersome in the short run, but will go a long way in helping you better recognise your talents as a creator. To manage your time efficiently, try creating a content calendar which will help you better compartmentalise your tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5363\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215639\/6f0uiu-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215639\/6f0uiu-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215639\/6f0uiu-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/15215639\/6f0uiu.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by a huge audience?
