Hi Everyone!
Geroge Pierce, here, and this post is about a new feature that TubeBuddy has recently added called Suggested Shorts.
TubeBuddy is a free extension that provides you with a suite of tools to help you with your YT channel. Suggested Shorts is their newest tool.
When you download the free extension, whenever you visit YT, a TB icon will appear near the top right of your page as you see above.
Click on the icon and a drop-down will appear (above), next click on suggested shorts.
A list of suggested shorts will appear as you see on the right above. So far, so good, but here is where TB's new tool shines.
If you look a little closer it tells you and me the exact segment of the video that we should focus on, along with the retention rate. Over 100%, as you see above, means that people are literally watching this more than once!
Next, go to the video, clip out the segment, change your format to 9:16, and make a short. According to TB add a link to the original video in the description (as you see below).
I also added text in the short that lets viewers know that they will find a link to the full-length version in the description.
Shorts typically get a lot of views and by using TB's new tool, you and I can use the most compelling parts of our videos for our shorts and then send those viewers to our original video.
This is a relatively old 'shorts' trick to help us grow our YT channel, but the fact that TB's AI can pinpoint the exact hottest parts of our videos gives us a powerful advantage.
This is my first video with this new tool and using the segment that TB shows is the hottest. As mentioned, I added text to the process and I also sandwiched my video between an intro and an outro.
The intro is for branding (Your Channel presents) and the outro is to ask for likes and subscribers and so on.
Watch the video below to see what I have done.
Thanks for watching.
Much success,
George Pierce
