Expand Your Reach with YouTube Shorts

We are thrilled to announce our full support for YouTube Shorts, making facelift even more complete and empowering content creators and companies to harness the true potential of this dynamic video format. YouTube Shorts is a video format designed specifically for short-form content, typically lasting up to 60 seconds. It is YouTube's answer to the immensely popular TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Quick, Sweet, and Powerful: Exploring the Benefits of YouTube Shorts

With facelift's powerful features and the inclusion of YouTube Shorts in the Publisher, you can seamlessly plan and publish your Shorts content to reach a massive audience on one of the largest video-sharing platforms. From now on, you can mix and recycle your vertical video content across different social media networks like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

The most efficient way to create new vertical video posts in seconds is Quickpost. YouTube Shorts require a video in a 9:16 aspect ratio, a length of up to 60 seconds and maximum file size of 128 GB. Add a title, profile and description where we will add the hashtag #shorts automatically

When creating content for YouTube Shorts, it's essential to focus on engaging and attention-grabbing videos that cater to the short attention span of viewers. Here are some ideas for the best content for companies on YouTube Shorts:

  • Product Teasers: Create short and enticing teasers that showcase your company's products or upcoming releases. Highlight the key features or benefits to pique viewers' curiosity and encourage them to learn more.
  • Quick Tips and Tutorials: Share bite-sized tips or tutorials related to your industry or niche. Provide valuable information in a concise format, such as a 60-second tutorial or a quick how-to guide.
  • Behind-the-Scenes Sneak Peeks: Offer a glimpse into your company's behind-the-scenes operations. Showcase your workspace, introduce team members, or provide insights into the production process. This helps humanize your brand and foster a connection with your audience.
