11 Million SHORTS views = $370... this is why I am switching to long-form YouTube content. Most SHORTS viewers come from TikTok anyways where the attention span is 2 seconds. What are your thoughts?

I used notion to create my personal website: https://miaaiyanac.notion.site/miaaiyanac/Mia-Aiyana-Cardenas-aae43fb0d3254a5187004ffb9003421b I don't think creating a personal website is super necessary at all, but I enjoy how all of my work from different platforms is laid out on one page. If you like the layout, you can duplicate it if you want to use it when you create your own. Warning: It's not minimalistic.

I recently discovered (new to me) an exciting tip for those of you who produce YouTube Shorts. Did you know that YouTube automatically qualifies videos with a 1080x1080 resolution or a square aspect ratio as Shorts? This information can be a game-changer if you want to repurpose your long-form content for Shorts or simply desire a slightly wider view for your original Shorts. I personally learned about it and successfully applied it earlier this week! So, if you're interested in exploring new possibilities with your Shorts, keep in mind that using a 1080x1080 resolution or sticking to a square format gives you a bit more canvas to work with. Happy Independence Day for those in the US

I have been posting youtube shorts at various times throughout the day and notice a huge difference in engagement if I posted after 4 pm my local time. My engagement prior to that early afternoon slot was significantly reduced. Has anyone else seen any patterns emerge when you post shorts?

Hello, friend! It's nice to see you in the Synthesizer School! This community provides a ton of value for Content Creators and Consultants if used wisely. However, valuable posts can be lost in the storm of not thoroughly prepared ones. To keep the quality of the content high we advise you to follow these guidelines BEFORE you post anything. 1. Learn how to use the Search bar. Many questions related to content creation, sales, marketing, social media: YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, self-development and AI (especially AI) have already been answered and discussed in detail. Instead of posting a new question, try finding an already created discussion. 2. Engage in conversations over posting before you reach Level 3. Take @Corey Bennett Boardman as an example, who has the most points, which he got mostly through the comment section. 3. Use DMs to ask precise questions to those whom you're willing to learn from. 4. Get inspired by Andrew's posts. To get an idea of what a quality post is, check what @Andrew Kirby posts. This is a blueprint of quality content. 5. Provide value through meaningful posts. It can be a: • list of valuable resources for Synthesizers, • an Obsidian «second brain», • an offer to provide personal advice free of charge, • a message of genuine support, • a summary of an event, • an actionable advice, • a detailed question that resonates with the audience
