Here are some real zingers, that I intend to use in my comedy run of #shorts on youtube. Each joke gets its own #short, of course. That way, I get more Clicks, which is the whole point, to build up the channel, grow the response list and get more subscriptions.
In a way, that mirrors the Great Work. Actually, it IS the Great Work. The whole idea behind my #shorts Work Campaign is that youtube is in desperate ambition to utterly destroy tiktok, so they tend to back any creator who comes up with shorts — it’s only been three months since they kicked off this strategy of having their own brand of short videos.
A #short is a video that is no longer than 60 seconds, and it’s vertical, always vertical, to accommodate the mobiles that are using this service.
You are taking advantage of the fact that right now, it’s in youtube’s interest to help you succeed by placing your videos in the “#short shelf”, which is an online display of short videos for those who have come to youtube on mobile devices.
So one rule of thumb is to keep your channel clean, meaning one idea at a time, which means that all your videos on that channel will be more of the same, only different.
One of the categories of #shorts channels I plan to put together is the Comedy #shorts Channel — the CsC. The idea behind it is to have one joke or gag per video, and that’s it.
Here are some examples I plan to use:
I can’t tell if women like me, but I can definitely tell if a woman doesn’t like me, because she keeps saying things like, “Yes, officer, that’s him.”
Freeway signs are getting more ridiculous every day “Orange cones mean Men at Work.” What else could it possibly mean? “Psychedelic witches embedded in asphalt?”
While playing golf today, I only hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
There’s this whole controversy about firearms. Of course we need firearms. You never know when someone is going to come up to you and say to you something like, “You’re fired.” — You’ve gotta be ready.
First, the doctor told me the good news — I’m going to have a disease named after me.
Did you see where eBay is preventing a man from auctioning off his soul. They said in court that if you want to sell your soul, you can’t auction it off on eBay — you have to run for president, like anybody else.
The web brings people together. No matter what kind of twisted moron you happen to be, there are millions just like you who think you’re totally normal. Doubt it? Okay, type into the search bar the phrase, “find people who like to have relations with goats on fire,” and the computer will spit back, “please specify type of goat”.
It’s too bad, I heard the other day that the inventor of Cliff Notes passed away. Donald Trump was devastated — he was Trump’s favorite author.
They say New Yorkers are mean, they don’t share. That’s not true. Just the other day, I saw three New Yorkers sharing a cab. One took the radio, one took the engine and the other one took the hubcaps.
See what I mean? Put those on a #short video and you’ve got the formula for at least one brand of short video.
By the way, I believe the youtube creators who have come out to tell folks about this little glitch in The System.
There is at last a way out of the hole, but you’ve got to jump fast — the spoilers are on the way already.
Treat your #shorts channel, as if you’re trying to hit the lottery or a slot machine, which is about the same odds against you succeeding.
It’s a struggle, but the field is at the moment almost totally devoid of competition, but it won’t be like that for very long — this is definitely the calm before the storm.
So treat your #shorts channel or channels like a hand of poker or blackjack. You’re trying to hit the lucky number, which is a million.
That’s right, hit one million with any of your #short videos, and I will send you a painting on canvas from my studio collection.
You can’t monetize the #shorts directly, but you can monetize them INdirectly, if you know how or find out how from me in a workshop.
The fact is that on ejgoldguru channel, I put up a half-dozen shorts, and one of them seems to be hitting, at least a little — I posted it on Monday night and it literally got 541 views overnight.
I haven’t seen numbers like that for my videos for at least five years, but it’s changing now, as youtube promotes the #shorts and goes out of its way to help the creators of #shorts — there aren’t very many of us yet, but there will be, once they figure out a gimmick to monetize the #shorts like they do the #longs.
Go to the video posted below, and when you get there, hit the channel to see all the others, or copy and paste this into your address bar:

Okay, I hope we can have more discussion on this important exercise/mission.
See You At The Top!!!
