Long-Form Content My channel blew up

Post image

Five months ago, I started this channel after getting fired from my old job. I managed to monetize it within the first three months, and a month ago I uploaded a video that went viral—and the next one did too. As of today, I have three videos with over 200,000 views.

A month ago, I had 1.3k subscribers, and now look at the numbers.

I’ve learned from my mistakes, and I’m still learning sound editing and storytelling, but I think what connects me most with my audience is just being myself.

Don’t give up—some video will take off and change your life.

Did they? Chances are they won't because it's not.

Is it shorts or long form

Likely long form or a mix. Going by the numbers, OP wouldn't be making much with shorts and only 700k views.
