Shorts grow on the same logic as other short form. Hook in the first second, keep one idea per Short, and loop the ending so it replays. Pick one niche so YouTube knows who to recommend you to. Views do not equal subscribers, so add a clear reason to subscribe and link Shorts to a longer video that goes deeper.
How Shorts get pushed
Shorts reward the same hook and retention as any short form.
Hook and loop
Grab them in one second and loop the end to boost replays.
One niche, one idea
