Reels are, I think of the past! Move over Instagram and TikTok; YouTube is taking over. YouTube announced it would be paying creators ad revenue for Shorts.

I set myself a goal and gave myself a year to achieve 1000 followers in 4000 watch hours required to enter the covenant creator space to qualify for their partner program.

Why I Never Save Instagram Lives?
I decided to download 100 live videos and re-post them on YouTube under a playlist called Dennis Schleicher’s Instagram lives. At the end of each live video, I informed my viewers if you missed the beginning or just tuning in, please subscribe to my YouTube as I’ll be posting the full IG live video there. YouTube’s algorithm caught on, and YouTube started recommending my YouTube channel to people who watch a lot of live videos on YouTube.
After two weeks, my watch time in follower count increased exponentially. At this point, I decided YouTube was where I needed to focus the majority of my attention.
If you create a video on Instagram
Download it, and upload it to YouTube. Change the title a little, along with the context. It’s that easy! I’m not saying it doesn’t require work; it’s re-posting your contact.
Why is YouTube better for search engine optimization?
The answer is simple. YouTube is the second largest search engine, and Google owns it. YouTube videos also appear in Google search results. This means that optimizing your YouTube videos for SEO will also optimize your content for Google searches. YouTube is an excellent platform for content creators to make money.
