YouTube Shorts is YouTube’s short vertical video format. Shorts appear in a dedicated feed that viewers swipe through, on the channel page and in search results. They can include music, text and subtitles, and link viewers to your longer videos.
For a small business, Shorts combine the reach of a recommendation feed with the long life of YouTube search. A good Short can keep getting views for months, and it helps new viewers discover your channel and longer content. If you already make vertical clips for Reels or TikTok, publishing the same clips as Shorts (without other apps’ watermarks) is an easy extra channel.
Example: a home renovation company posts one Short a week showing a single quick fix, such as replacing a socket cover. Each Short links to a longer video on the same topic, and the channel’s subscriber count grows steadily.
AI SMM publishes to YouTube, has YouTube analytics, and its video clipping cuts long YouTube videos into Shorts with subtitles, with a live preview of how the clip looks as a Short.
