Cost depends on volume and how much we handle, and we confirm scope and price in writing. The main factors are:
- Number of Shorts per month.
- Source of footage: your recordings, existing long videos or new shoots.
- Editing style and subtitles needed.
- Planning and scripting support.
- Channel setup and publishing support.
- Reporting frequency.
Cutting Shorts from existing long videos is the most economical route. Fresh filming with planned scripts, locations or presenters costs more. We often propose a small first batch, review the results and then agree a monthly plan.
Music licences outside YouTube’s library, presenter fees and paid promotion of Shorts are separate and agreed in advance.
Tell us about your business and any existing videos, and we will reply with a plan and a quote.
Shorts work best when each video does one thing well. We plan a single idea per Short, such as answering one question, showing one step or explaining one term, and we open with the answer or the most interesting moment instead of a long introduction. Vertical framing, readable captions and clear audio matter because most viewing happens on phones.
We also think about how Shorts connect to the rest of your channel. A Short can point viewers to a longer video, a playlist or your website, and a good title and description still help people find it. We keep your branding consistent across thumbnails, intros and descriptions, so the channel looks like one business rather than a set of unrelated clips.
Performance is reviewed from YouTube Studio data, including views, viewed-versus-swiped-away rates, retention and the effect on subscribers. We share what the data suggests without promising views or monetisation, since both depend on the platform’s policies and on your content. Our aim is a repeatable production routine and honest learning from each batch.
Ideas for Shorts often come from content you already have. A long tutorial can yield several short tips, a webinar can give a handful of quotable answers, and customer questions from WhatsApp or email can become a regular series. We help you build a simple idea bank, so that planning the next month takes an hour instead of a scramble.
Editing for Shorts is different from editing longer videos. Cuts are quicker, text is larger and pauses are trimmed, but the video should still feel natural. We prepare each Short with a clear title, a short description and, where useful, a link to a related long video, so that viewers who want more can find it. We also follow YouTube’s policies on music, claims and disclosure to avoid avoidable problems.
We keep a simple tracking sheet for every batch, noting the idea, publishing date, title, hook and results after a few weeks. Over time this shows which topics and openings suit your audience, and it makes monthly reviews quick and factual. Nothing here guarantees growth, but it replaces guesswork with a record you can learn from.
