Hello,
I am looking to grow a new YouTube Shorts channel (Started December 1st 2025).
I would like to gain engaged subscribers who will consistently view and engage with new uploads. My hope is that this engagement will lead YouTube to push a high amount of my uploads to wider audiences, and eventually net me enough views (10M within 90 days I believe) to monetize my channel.
Something important to note: I started using YouTube's official "Promote" option to boost views back when I was at about 20 subscribers. This netted me a couple million views total (58 videos, around 40k-100k per video), and has me at about 8,000 subscribers now. However, since I have stopped promoting, my subsequent uploads have capped at around 10-50 views.
