Are you using shorts as growth hack for your YouTube channel?

Me and my buddy have a podcast channel (https://www.youtube.com/@swpodcastde/shorts), and we found shorts actually help us to grow subscribers (still tiny sub count, but since the shorts it increases).

As we are developers, we build a tool which automatically creates shorts out of our main videos, so no extra work 😅

If that might be interesting for you, would be awesome if you could check it out: https://10levelup.com (it has a free 7 day trial!)

Thank you for your support and let’s grow your channel together.

p.S. Please let me know if there is anything we can do, to make the tool better for your needs. We are working really hard to get this going!

    Definitely a game changer. My channel, Just Rocket Science went from 250-ish to 596 subs in 3 months thanks to Shorts.

    IMO however, the true impact of Shorts is that you can gain a lot of data in to what your audience wants (and doesn't) very quickly. Shorts are easier to produce (IMO) compared to longer form videos.

    Also das podcast ist augezeichnet!

    Subscribed and good luck!

      How are you creating the shorts? All from 0 or are you using tooling for this?

        My stack is as follows:

        • Filmed on iPhone
        • Mic is a cheap $20 Rode but I just upgraded to Shure MV7
        • Editing on Premiere Pro
        • Picture assets are usually the media kits from Aerospace Companies (credited appropriately), Canva
        • Sound assets from Epidemic sound

        How about you?

          We are basically recording only via zencastr, and then let 10LevelUp create the shorts for us :D So we do the podcast episode for the book, all the rest is automated.

      Hey aquidor223, I sadly don't understand what your product does?
      I kinda think it shows me some trends, which could fit my target audience?

      Will this help me to created custom tailored SEO content? How?

    Wow, I know how difficult it gets to creates short videos from the long ones and the amount of time it consumes. Will definitely give this tool a try. Kudos buddy! Why don't you also launch it on Product Hunt there might be many looking for a tool like this.

    1. 1

      We are definitely going to launch it on PH, but want to have a few more customers first, so that we know the tool actually is, what people are looking for :)

      Pls let me know what you think about it, when trying!
