Here are some best practices when making your shorts so you can improve engagement and get more views.

The first few seconds of your short will determine if the viewer watches all the way through, therefore, create a strong hook in those first few seconds.
You kind of need to establish in the first two to three seconds why someone should watch this all the way till the end.
If you aim for a retention rate that is close to a 100% there’s a high probability your short will do well.
If you’re landing in like the 35 to 45 second range and driving over 90% retention, it’s pretty likely going to go somewhat viral.
Try to tell a story in your shorts video so it keeps views watching all the way through.
One thing we noticed with some of our shorts that weren’t doing as well, we were kind of delivering a lot of the information up top and then there was no reason to keep watching.
One way to keep viewers attention throughout your Shorts video is to use lots of B-roll every few seconds.
Keep in mind that your shorts loop, so pace your content accordingly and encourage replayability.
