27 public Shorts / 10,842 views across those Shorts / 319 median views per Short
I built a studio to keep scripts, edits and uploads in one place. Now 27 Shorts are public across eight channels, and I can finally look at what people watch.
Farid & Fatima: a conversation in Darija.
Inside You: strange things about the human body.
HORS DECK: games, cards and the stories behind them.
The channels cover different subjects, with their own voices and styles. I want to find out which ones I can keep making well. YouTube Shorts comes first; TikTok, Instagram and more languages come later.

The average hides a lot
The average is 402 views per Short. The median is 319. Four videos account for 43% of the views. I’m watching the whole list, because the best few videos make the experiment look more consistent than it is.

What I’m actually trying to earn
Platform revenue is one route. Sending an audience to a useful site, an affiliate offer or a product is another. I haven’t proved either yet. For now, I’m paying for production, publishing and keeping the receipts.

Another 37 videos are scheduled. My next job is to watch what happens after they go out, then decide which channels deserve another batch.
