Making Money By Publishing Short Videos

In order to make money from videos, you need to build subscribers/followers and get good traffic.

I am giving you some tips. These tips are not based on my experience but I have seen a lot of people succeed with this method. Before you start building subscribers and generating views on your videos, you need two things, one, a lot of videos published on your channel, two, videos are unique and interesting. There are also other things to consider such as the need proper video title, proper description, eye-catching thumbnail, medium-length videos, professionally edited videos, non-copyrighted materials, not reusing materials from public domains, and videos on the related niches. Let's say you have followed every rule I just mentioned, how do you start building followers and watch time?

Ask your friends and family to follow your channel, watch your videos, like your videos, and share your videos. If your friends and family actually care about you, building 100 subscribers and 50-100 hours of watch time will not be very difficult in less than 15 days. 

Start promoting your videos on social media, use relevant tags, Share on every platform where you are active, share on every page, and in groups where you are active. This will let you easily build 100 more subscribers.
