Why YouTube Shorts Need a Different Approach

Shorts live and die in seconds. Unlike long-form, Shorts are judged instantly by the algorithm. If the first moment doesn’t create a scroll-stop, the video is gone. We don't just edit; we engineer retention.

Immediate hooks, not slow intros

We cut straight to the value.

Tight cuts that eliminate pauses

Dead air kills retention graphs.

Volume over perfection

Consistency wins the algorithm game.

Optimization Strategy

How IndieDoers Optimizes for Reach

Shorts performance is engineered, not guessed. Every edit is formatted 9:16 and optimized for Shorts behavior.

Sticky Hooks

The first 3 seconds are engineered to create curiosity instantly.

Aggressive Pacing

Every cut is designed to remove friction and keep viewers watching.

Dynamic Captions

Clear, readable captions support comprehension, especially on mute.

Vertical Framing

Focal points framed specifically for 9:16—not cropped clumsily.
