Just Fixed My Biggest Shorts Mistake - 34% View Increase in 3 Weeks

🔥

Hey everyone,

Figured I'd share a discovery that's actually moved the needle on my channel.

[THE MISTAKE I WAS MAKING] I was treating my Shorts like random social media posts - just uploading them individually with zero organization. Turns out this is like having a messy bookshelf where nobody can find anything useful.

[WHAT CHANGED EVERYTHING] Last week I organized my existing Shorts into themed playlists. Within 3 weeks:

34% increase in average views per Short
Viewers went from watching 1.1 Shorts to 2.3 per session
Finally seeing traffic flow from Shorts to my longer videos

[THE SIMPLE FIX] Start with just 3 playlists:

Your main topic (ex: "Photography Tips")
Your gear/tools content (ex: "Camera Gear Reviews")
Your behind-the-scenes stuff (ex: "Creator Journey")

Sequence them from beginner to advanced - think of it like organizing a course, not just dumping content.

Add 10-15 Shorts per playlist - enough for a good binge session without overwhelming.

[WHY THIS WORKS] The algorithm treats organized Shorts as series content instead of random uploads. Better organization = better distribution = more views.

[ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BEGINNERS] If you only have 5-10 Shorts, that's perfect for testing this. Start organizing now and you'll build good habits as you grow.

How are you organizing your Shorts currently? Anyone else tried this approach?

Still learning myself, but wanted to share what's working! Would love to hear your experiences.
