What are YouTube Shorts, and why are they effective for growth?

YouTube Shorts are vertical, short-form videos (under 60 seconds) designed to be consumed quickly on mobile devices. They are incredibly effective for channel growth because:

  • They’re shown in the Shorts feed, which gets massive traffic.
  • They require low production time compared to full-length videos.
  • The algorithm often favors new creators by giving Shorts extra reach.

As seen in the blog, creators like FUN GAMES (from 3 to 69,200 subs) and MonsSS GaminG (from 2 to 55,200 subs) primarily used Shorts to gain visibility fast.
