- Do you know the most viral type of shorts
on YouTube right now?
What about the type that have completely blown up
in the last 30 days?
What about those?
And do you even know why that matters?
In this video, we're going over the most viral type
of shorts based on categories.
I've compiled list of the top eight types of shorts
that are insanely viral right now.
We're gonna compare the difference
in how the trends are changing
so that you know what to watch for
and how to get the best results.
Hi, this is Angelique with InVideo,
and if you're looking for resources
to level up your video creation, you're in the right place.
You've just entered into a series on YouTube shorts
and how to make shorts that will perform.
I scrolled through well over 200
of the top performing shorts on YouTube.
We're gonna break it all down and after we do,
I'm gonna show you how you can create some of these ideas
for your own channel, with the InVideo editor.
Okay, just a second.
There's actually two lists here.
So I have one list that is the YouTube shorts,
the most viral YouTube shorts of all time.
And then I have another list that is just the YouTube shorts
that have been posted in the last 30 days
that are incredibly viral.
So the first list, the most viral shorts of all time.
Now these are hashtag shorts.
If you went and searched for, these up for yourself,
you would be able to find them of course.
I went through 92, but here's why.
The views on each of these shorts range
from 421 million down to 20 million views each.
Now, that's why I stopped
because I just stopped at 20 million.
It just felt like that was a good stopping point.
So the first category is skits, stories
and like the point of view trend.
It's all acting, right?
So kind of like storytelling, taking you through a story.
So I put those all in one category and there were 26.
Then we have how-to hacks and tips.
And I felt like that was a good category.
There's 21.
Challenge, pranks and tricks, 16.
Gaming, or like gamified skits,
so some of these are like animated skits,
there's animations involved with them
and they're very involved.
So I put those together and that's 11.
This versus that, so it could be like, you know,
girls versus boys or this country versus this country,
you get what I'm saying? Okay.
So that's a category, six.
Food, 4.
Music and dance, they tied,
I had them in two separate categories
because I thought there would be more actually.
And they both tied for three.
Here's something else to note.
Some of these mix some of the types of content.
This is a great example.
So it's a dance challenge.
Here's what I mean by gamified skits.
Now this isn't to say
that other types of videos are not performing supremely well
on YouTube shorts.
What this is saying is that from 421 million views
on one short down to 20 million, these two tied.
So that's all there was.
There was three of each within this category.
And then there's beauty and health that had 2.
That's what we have for of all time.
There just wasn't a date assigned to the search that I did,
okay?
So then the next one are the ones
that have only been posted in the last 30 days.
So here we are, at 77 million views,
we just saw that one, right?
77 million views just in the last week down to 5.8 million.
So that's a pretty significant range.
That's a lot of views in one month.
Crazy, right? Okay.
Skits, stories and point of view, 37.
Then there's the gaming, gamified skits, 23.
Challenge, pranks and tricks, 21.
This versus that.
How-to hacks and tips, 11.
Food, 10.
Reactions, eight.
TV shows, which let's be honest,
it was all squid games stuff, right? Seven.
So these are the categories
if I just break them down into like top eight categories.
I would have thought just seeing kind of what's performing
on TikTok and Instagram Reels, and now, you know,
Facebook has joined in on the fun,
but it's interesting that skits and stories
and this point of view, they're winning over here.
So one thing that I noticed
was not all these categories landed in the same place.
Gaming has seemed to crawl up on the list.
This versus that, how-to tax and tips ranked second
on the first list and fifth on the second list.
We see reactions, we see way more reactions.
And this is why it's important,
what's performing on one platform does not dictate
how it performs on another.
This should help you in making decisions
cause even regardless of what your content is about,
you can apply this video style to your niche.

It really makes you wonder why are people getting
so obsessed with growing on YouTube and Reels and TikTok.
How much money are they actually making?
How much are people making with YouTube shorts?
What's the difference in shorts
that go viral versus shorts that are profitable?
They're not the same.
If these are questions that you have,
and you would like to see more ways on how to make money
with YouTube, or even specifically with shorts,
just type how to get paid with YouTube shorts
in the comments below.
That'll let me know.
So now that you have the ideas covered,
let's take a look at how easy it is
to create these video types for your channel
using InVideo's video template library,
and online video editor.
To get started, you just need a free account.
And if you haven't already,
use the link in the description below.
All right, so this is the search page.
And here we're gonna select the nine by 16 aspect ratio
since shorts are vertical.
Hey, well here's the best part.
Every one of these templates
is a hundred percent customizable.
So just pick a template that, you know,
pick a design that makes sense to you
and comes closest to how you'd want your video to look.
I like this one, and start editing.
This is where you can replace the text
and any media with your own
or you can choose from over 8 million stock clips.
So what this means is you now have an arsenal,
full of resources from premium sources like Shutterstock,
iStock that you can directly use into your project.
So you can also create shorts
if you don't have any original footage.
All right.
So once you're happy with the outcome,
I think that looks pretty good,
we just need to preview it and then get ready to export it.
And just like that,
your shorts will be ready for you to download and use,
like in five minutes.
We'd love to know, did you find value in this video?
And I gotta be honest,
I was kind of surprised not to see more dancing videos,
were you?
Well, come and hang out with me in the comments.
Let's talk about it.
