Hey WA Fam
I just had to share this with you because in the last 28 days my YouTube channel gained +61 new subscribers, 19.3K views, and all I’ve been posting are YouTube short
And here’s the fun part: I only started posting YT Shorts the last few days because I spotted a trend.
How it all started
In one of the WAbinar on Pinterest Jay advised, “Check the Top Trending in Pinterest Analytics.” So I did. And I found that Animated Videos blowing up - not just in kids’ cartoons, but in wellness, money tips, productivity hacks, recipes… you name it.
That got me thinking: If animated videos are getting this much attention on Pinterest, why not try them on YouTube Shorts?
