Let’s keep this short. 😉

If you’re already creating quick, killer content for your brand or business to use as Reels on Facebook and Instagram, or as videos on TikTok, you’ll be smart to cross-post those same clips to YouTube Shorts.

YouTube Shorts: The 2024 Trend Setter in Social Media Marketing

With platforms like Insta and TikTok having shaped the way we make - and consume - short-form content, the stage has now been set for YouTube Shorts to become the dominant player in 2024. The ‘Shorts’ feature has already seen significant growth, with over 2 billion logged-in users engaging with the platform each month… particularly impressive considering YouTube's total monthly logged-in audience is around 2.7 billion users. This stat underscores the rapid rise and widespread adoption of YouTube Shorts among the platform's user base.

Leveraging YouTube Shorts for Brand Growth: Insights into 2024's Social Scene

Given the ease of cross-posting content from TikTok and Reels, repurposing your content on Shorts is an easy and time-efficient option for brand awareness. With YouTube’s massive global user base, it gives brands greater ability to target specific demographics and expand reach to previously untapped audiences.

Then there are the SEO benefits…

As a Google product, YouTube scores brownie points and benefits from being so integrated with the BEASTly Search Engine.  We often point out to our clients - and we’ve mentioned on this blog before - how Google loves Google.  Videos on YouTube are indexed in Google search results, significantly boosting discoverability beyond the platform itself.

People, especially Millennials and Gen Alpha, are increasingly coming to YouTube with specific search intent, seeking content that directly addresses their interests and answers their curly queries. By using keywords, juicy descriptions and and tags, you can attract a more engaged audience to your Shorts.
