How to Properly Upload YouTube Shorts in 2026? (Full Guide)

[00:01] tens of thousands of dollars a month. For example, my shorts with 13 million views brought me $1,000. And I've put all my experience together in this video, in which I'll show you a step-by-step plan on how to start a shorts channel. And we begin, perhaps, with the most

[00:14] important thing. Choosing a niche. Perhaps the most frequently asked question: what to shoot, what niche simple. All niches on YouTube are divided into two categories: adult and children's. The main mistake newbies make is taking on complex niches and not getting into 3D animation, which is

[00:28] done by larger teams. Take what you already understand. If it's a kids once played. For example, Roblox, Minecraft or car parks, like mine. If you are an adult, share what you like. Health, finance,

[00:42] history of the world, countries, space. You're interested in airplanes, great. Film about iconic models and mysterious plane crashes. The bottom line is: any topic will find its audience. Millions of people play Roblox, and they all sit

[00:54] on YouTube. Views are absolutely everywhere. I'm filming a game about cars myself. My main channel has 630,000 subscribers. You may have the best niche, but if you don't know how to get the algorithm to promote your

[01:06] videos, you'll end up with zero views. How to get views? The most important thing here is the idea, views and analytics. To find an idea, you need to look at what has gone viral on other channels and adapt it to your own needs. For example,

[01:18] my shorts with 7 million views compares the first and second episodes of the game. realistic braking system. I took this idea from another series of computer games, which actually got millions of views. I

[01:32] adapted this idea for myself, for my mobile game. A good tip: take ideas that have garnered 10 million views and adapt them to your needs. Another very important thing for a video to go viral is understanding the

[01:44] algorithms. Most people think that YouTube loves likes and comments. In practice, YouTube loves to keep viewers' attention. After publication, YouTube shows your video to a small audience. If they watch the video to the end,

[01:56] the algorithm expands the impressions. If they scroll, leave, retention is weak, YouTube reduces impressions. Therefore, your task is not to collect likes, your task is options on how to make the hold

[02:10] the beginning, the so-called hook. This is to interest the viewer in the first seconds and immediately get to the point, or to show something very interesting in the first seconds, and so on, to capture attention. The second thing is to make a

[02:23] picture so that your video is simply pleasant to look at. And thirdly, make the video as dynamic as possible so that no one gets bored and it’s interesting to watch. Video creation. Any video on YouTube consists of a

[02:37] script, footage, editing, sound effects, and music. Every video has a script. When you look at another author's ideas, try to grasp the script. For example, in my short with 8.5 million views, the scenario is very simple.

[02:50] Here we test different types of tires. And the scenario is that we first look at one type of tire, then the car can’t climb, then we look at a second type of tire, a third, and in the end the car actually climbs up. This

[03:02] is the scenario. And in any scenario there is a concept, a climax and a resolution. In our drive up the mountain. Once the footage has been filmed, editing begins. Everything is very simple here. Our task is to hold the viewer's attention. That's why we make the

[03:15] editing as dynamic as possible. We remove everything unnecessary, leaving only the essence, only what is written in the script. We also create beautiful visuals to make the video more enjoyable to watch. We also take care of the sound. We add sound

[03:27] effects to immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of our video. For example, in our video with tires, there is a background sound of the engine tearing, the car not being able to get in, the wheels slipping, and so on. And this immerses the viewer as much as possible

[03:40] into the atmosphere of what is happening. And, of course, maintaining attention becomes much easier. And of course, trendy music. Sometimes people watch shorts just because of the cool music in the background. This information
