What to do to become a successful YouTuber is what everyone looks for and what everyone tries for. But you know… To speak about it practically, running fast is important to win. Still, running in the right direction is also important to reach the winning destination. If you know what not to do in a YouTube career, you will find the right path. You will reach your destination in a short time. What are the Common mistakes of YouTubers?
Okay, now I am writing this after observing many failures with various things. I want to help upcoming YouTubes avoid these kinds of mistakes. This way, they can emerge with decent subscribers and views. Let’s not waste time with this introduction.
Top things you should not do, if you want a bright YouTube career :
1. Don’t do Sub to Sub:
People do this to increase the subscribers count. But trust me, this will give zero result in long term. The strategy behind keeping 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hrs is not that simple. This rule was placed with lot of research. Just think practically. A person who asked you to subscribe, will look for the same thing from everyone they approach. Intention behind that is only to gain the subscribers. They will never watch your videos. So, no watch time with those subscribers. YouTube will not consider the views if that view is less than 30 Sec. So, if someone who subscribed like this will not look for your content how superb it can be. You can’t cheat YouTube algorithm. It will remove the views from bad subscribers, who didn’t see any of your videos but still subscribed to you.
2. Don’t copy anyone’s content without their consent:
This is a most common Youtubers mistakes. I am sure you might have gone through much research in this topic. So, not explaining much. But this applies to both images and music. YouTube will only give you 3 copyright strike chances. Better, get the things from copyright-free sources. This page will help you for that. How to find non copyrighted photos in google – Copyright Free Images? For music, YouTube gives it for free. So, you can use it from YouTube Music library.
3. Don’t do too much or completely less:
What I meant here is, if you have time this weekend and you made 3 YouTube videos. Don’t just upload them all at a time. I can understand the excitement of having a completed video in hand and waiting to upload it. Still, control that excitement. Because you’re not giving enough time to your audience and YouTube bots to search for your video. If you upload more than one video at once, the upload notification will reach the user all at once. This will make the user ignore or neglect the 1st posted video. The views of one video are gone, case. So, stop and wait at least 1 day if you can’t wait more than that.
And same time, don’t give a long pause to video posting. Users forget your channel. Try uploading at least 1 video per month. 1 month is the utmost gap that you can give to user. Try to be regular in uploading. If you do not have anything to upload, just tell the audience the reason behind your delay. Do this in a small personal video and share it in the community. This is for people who have crossed 100 subscribers. For below 1000 subscribers, they can just post it like any other video. This will create an impression that, you care the people who follow you.
4. Don’t put the Same keywords and description to more than one Video:
You are having two similar video that presents almost same content. One has thousands of views and the other one is just in Hundreds.
This will tempt us to change the keywords and description to resemble a successful video. But never do that. Change it with long tail keyword changes. Exact keywords and description, and the same order of keeping those terms, will show YouTube as repetitive content. Then you need to pay the penalty for it. YouTube will ask you to remove those videos, or it is more than that.
5. Don’t go with the same repeated content or don’t just experiment with content.
Just because you need to post something, don’t just post something. At first, you were enthusiastic about making the best YouTube channel. You have created meaningful content and shared it with users. Your current subscriber base is with the same thing. But suddenly, if you can’t find content relevant to what you’ve already created, don’t switch to entirely different topics. Your channel will lose the value and credibility of providing the content that users expect from you.
6. Don’t go to a fighting mode with the user who criticizes you in comments:
Comments are feedback to your channel. There are different types of commentators. They come with some expectations while watching your content. You can’t expect them to be good always. Sometimes you get too much criticism for what you show. Take it. React to it in a positive way. Correct yourself there. With fighting mode, you get some popularity at that time. But people will stop watching your content as you have shifted from content to bad entertainment. There are a few set of people who likes it. But for that, you have to fight with everyone to be alive on YouTube. And, YouTube will take care if anyone crosses the limit in commenting. You can always report them.
