I just did my thumbnails and my clips vlog so now I going to do my sport

I have just started and am growing my self improvement focused channel. I want to use that channel to educate, inspire, and help my "past self" solve super niche and specific self improvement problems. I want to gather a high quality audience. I'd rather the audience size be small and the quality be high. I'm currently uploading 2 long form videos a week and am taking clips from those long form to then create 5 short form videos to upload. Ive only uploaded 2 long form videos on my channel so far and 3 long form. The long form are not doing well but the short form have gathered a couple thousand views already. But, for my current goals, I don't think its worth me posting shorts to gather viewers because of the lack of quality. So, my question is, should I be uploading shorts along side my long form content to attract the audience or should I only be trying to reach people through long form?

Imma finally gonna be consistent in the gym and gonna get shredded

So now I going to pray and after I going to sleep
