We dig into the real skills behind profitable YouTube Shorts: hooks that reduce swipes, scripts without fluff, and niche choices that attract high-RPM audiences. Joe shares how faceless storytelling beats AI spam, why 30k view jail happens, and what daily cadence sustains growth.

• platform differences across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts 
• faceless storytelling with tight scripts and relevant b‑roll 
• hooks that match search intent or browse curiosity 
• retention targets and why endings should cut fast 
• revenue pools, RPM by audience location, and US targeting 
• niches with strong monetization like military and commentary 
• breaking out of 30k view jail with originality and edits 
• batching ideas, editor workflows, and daily cadence 
• using Shorts to feed long form and search-based discovery 
• thumbnail strategy, AI tools, and budget ranges
