Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this is a post about the value of YouTube shorts. I am NOT yet sold on the value of YT shorts, and it seems that those who are in the know have not yet come to a conclusion. Above is a snapshot of my first short for a new channel. As an ex 'troubleshooter' for a large corporation, I am a firm believer that 'activity breeds activity'. In the case of a new channel, YT shorts should help.
Creating a short is easy. Most popular video editors have a 'highlight' option.
Above is a snapshot of the Filmora video editor. When exporting, click the highlight option, and your video editor will automatically create a highlight video about 1 minute long. Some popular video editors that offer this feature include Wondershare Filmora Video Editor, MiniTool MovieMaker, CapCut, and VEED. You can upload your regular video, and then your highlight video, linking it to your regular video.
The idea is to create an added activity for your channel to help you attract more viewers.
YT shorts are worth a try.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

PPS. Not everything I do works out so well. I will be sharing a funny blunder soon.
PPPS. I am adding the following snapshot, it has been 58 minutes according to YT since the above short was published, and it has 89 views.

I have created a few other YouTube channels and my shorts are either hit or miss. Most of my shorts help boost the visibility of my channels though. I think I need to consider using one of these editors to make my shorts instead of just using my phone.
I think that YT shorts do have value.
Exactly, shorts help get more exposure, and they seem to get lots of views or almost none. Based on my experience, shorts for movies, quiz shows, and music have the potential to work well, thank you, John.
The second short is doing well.
