27 Ideas To Get More Views on YouTube Shorts 

YouTube, once the humble realm of double rainbow videos, is not the same platform it was in 2010. Today, it stands as a virtual colossus, with more than 2.7 billion active users who post and enjoy anything from video essays, to hour-long "day in the life" vlogs, to marathon-length live streams. Like many other platforms, YouTube relies on creators, and as online trends keep changing, YouTube has proven it can do more than just keep up.

YouTube Shorts was launched in 2021 as the answer to a growing demand for short-form content. Since then, Shorts have quickly become a creator favorite when it comes to sharing new content or promoting longer videos. Since Shorts are only 60 seconds long or less, they have a greater chance of racking up lots of views or even going viral than full-length videos. So let’s aim for the stars here! From posting before-and-after videos to sharing behind-the-scenes clips, here are 27 ideas to help your YouTube Shorts blow up.
