YouTube is one of the largest if not the most important video content sites on the internet. More than 122 million users around the world visit it daily.
Therefore, it is natural for content creators to make it an arena for competition in all areas. Compete for ideas for the content you provide, compete for the quality of that content, compete for viewership and engagement, and of course, compete for more revenue.
Despite fierce competition. However, the mistakes of visual content creators are numerous and horrendous, and in many cases, there are also big hurdles between the content creator and its percentage of distribution or recognition among YouTube audiences.
You need to know that these errors, of any kind, detract from the significance of the clip and the number of views. And make sure it doesn't attract enough subscriber attention, even if it provides good content.
To do this, we are going to present you with a set of the most important mistakes that every YouTuber should avoid; Whether you are a beginner or a professional, and of course, we will share with you effective solutions to counter these mistakes and avoid them.
1. Video clip length
One of the most important questions YouTube users ask is "What is the appropriate length for the clip I'm about to post?" The truth is that after a quick Google search, you will find that most of the data shown in front of you point you to 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or more. But are these numbers final?
In the sense that more or less of this clip does not fit and will not be popular or popular? The answer is, of course, no. The biggest proof of this is that most music videos don't exceed five minutes, yet they rack up millions or even billions of views and likes.
We know how long your video is viewed today is the most important factor for YouTube rankings. Once deprecated, only the number of views determines the category of any clip. But the quality of the video and the number of likes is another very important factor.
The length of a YouTube video depends on two main factors:
a) The nature of the content of the clip
The content of a clip is a key factor in determining its duration, meaning that the type of content presented determines the length of the clip in the first place.
For example, if we have a 20-minute video of the dazzling content of the strangest adventures that you experienced when you visited the Maldives. At the same time, the clip takes into account all quality standards and makes people who click on it watch it to the end.
Or another video that is only 10 minutes long, but stretched and stuffed. In other words, it offers content that is boring and lacks appeal. Which of the two clips do you expect to attract attention and watch? Of course the first section.
b) audience
The duration of the clip depends mainly on the nature of the audience for which it is intended. For example, an audience of educational courses, or an audience that watches a YouTuber to keep track of their daily routine, visits this type of clip, knowing full well that its duration can exceed 30 minutes or more.
But the audience of music or dance parties cannot spend so much time in front of your video! And here marketing and a good study of the target audience play a big role in determining the duration of the video and its use.
Some experts offer a good solution for sections where you need to provide various data and take time; The solution is to split the segment. If you're going to be delivering compelling content, why not break your channel's clips apart.
This will increase the audience's interest in your videos and the desire to follow them at a later time, rather than trying to pick up where they left off the last time they watched, a process that is known to take some time and effort.
2. YouTube video title
What factors do some YouTubers overlook when choosing a name?
a) target audience
Once again, the audience plays an important role in the choice of title, as the football audience is different from the educational content audience. The audience for music and the arts in general is also different from the audience for entertainment content. Therefore, we advise you to match the name to the nature of the target audience.
You should not write an objective and purely scientific headline if you want to promote, for example, entertainment content. The target audience will not click on this clip because of its title, even if it provides them with the desired content.
b) the title is not related to the content
An infinite number of times you find a clip with the title you were looking for, but once you click on the clip, you are surprised that the content is not related to the title at all!
For example, the title is "Watch the last episode of the most famous TV series before deleting" and when you open the clip, you will find that it is a still image or even an episode of a TV series other than what is mentioned in the title. Unleash it and shut it down. is not it?
As we mentioned above, this trick has a very bad effect on getting views, because YouTube has become mainly dependent on its rating on the length of time a visitor watches your clip.
Some YouTubers can get a lot of clicks if they choose to replace the title of the clip with another title that is more attractive and not related to it.
But this results in a loss of trust between you and your audience forever. So make sure the title is directly related to the content presented in the clip.
c) missing a keyword in the title
The keyword is very important in the YouTube algorithm, just like when writing articles or blogging. You should choose the most accurate keyword and professionally add it to the beginning of the section title.
This is the most searched term on YouTube for a topic, and it will help the clip get more views and interest from the target audience.
d) boring name
Having avoided the previous mistakes, some YouTubers may fall into the trap of having a boring or unappealing title. Here we encourage you to use numbers, brackets, or urgent and ordered sentences such as, you won't believe it, don't miss it, see what happens.
These things will give the visitor the feeling that they are about to miss something very important if they do not click on your clip. For example, which name is more attractive (Experiment with a plastic bottle phone) or (Look what happened when trying to test with a plastic bottle phone!)?
Tips sections should always have numbers in their titles. The numbers give the YouTuber the feeling that the clip contains valuable content to watch! For example (11 amazing weight loss tips you didn't know about).
e) Section header length
Some clips have titles longer than 60 characters, which is another common mistake. Characters in excess of this amount will disappear after publication and will have no value. First of all, this can lead to people ignoring the clip. Because they won't waste their time clicking on a clip just to read the title.
3. Irregular fasting
There is no set number for the best number of videos posted per month on YouTube channels. But site success and visibility require long-term owners, renewable energy, and long-term plans.
As we mentioned earlier, YouTube is a very tough competitive arena in all areas. So, a bored person, hoping for early success. It may be difficult for him to achieve his goal through YouTube.
A large number of creative content creators are starting to create their own channels. As soon as they are faced with disregard for followers or lack of interaction, their hopes are immediately dashed, and this is mainly reflected in their productivity, which begins to gradually decline until it disappears completely.
Therefore, it is best to create realistic short and long-term goals. Set yourself a long-term goal for your channel and don't forget the purpose of creating it in the first place. Then break that goal down into short goals. Organize them monthly to keep clip production speed up.
Creating a monthly schedule for posting clips is useful in many cases. It also helps establish a good connection between you and your followers and creates a state of anticipation for your content among them. You post at a specific time known to them.
4. Ignoring the quality of the clip
One of the most important factors why your clips don't get the distribution they want is neglecting the quality of the clip as a whole.
Here are the most important quality elements to look out for:
a) sound quality
This is a common mistake that many YouTubers make, even those with experience. The content creator always cares about the quality of the photo, choosing the right locations, choosing the right lighting, choosing the right title. However, sound quality is a winning horse that doesn't receive much attention.
The way content is presented is just as important as the content itself. Visitors may be offended by the poor quality of the audio, which may prevent them from completing the clip. Therefore, we advise you to use a good microphone until you close this door.
b) image quality
In terms of audio quality, poor lighting or poor picture quality, especially in content requiring clear vision, comes second on this list.
Try to shoot with a quality camera as often as possible.
c) quality content
There are many criteria that can distract you when we talk about content quality. But here I will give you a simple rule, or rather a guiding definition of quality content.
Good Content: This is content that satisfies the user's desires, makes them feel satisfied, and makes them want to see more content from the same source.
This applies to all types of content; Be it scientific, practical, or even entertaining comedy content.
5. Do not specify one direction for the channel
Someone who claims to know everything actually knows nothing! Many intellectuals accept this saying, and in the YouTube world, we find it very successful.
Some channels fail or have poor interaction and lack of interest because the owner has not listed any specialty. How can a scientific content owner present entertainment content well at the same time? Or is the family content owner familiar with the content of the games? of course not.
Does this mean that a content creator can't represent the two types of content well? No, there are people with the same experience in a number of areas. What is the solution? It is better to create two separate channels rather than one channel with more than one specialty.
Building a single channel with a diverse and broad focus won't help you build a good audience base, find the right keywords, or help your audience position themselves in relation to the channel.
Some videos may fall into the hands of a viewer who is not interested in your specialty. This causes him to have a negative attitude towards your channel. Although he publishes a wide variety of topics, he is sure to find a few topics that suit him.
Therefore, we recommend that you create a channel for each specialization that you are good at, so that you can target the right audience. We also advise you to seek help from specialists in each area.
6. Wrong Requests for Interaction
Most YouTubers, newbies, and pros alike, can overreact. Sometimes likes and subscriptions are asked with such persistence that the subscriber will be outraged, even if he likes the content. Some of them may ignore the interaction request from scratch! In both cases, this is wrong.
The content creator needs to balance the following request and likes. Do not continue to insist and put pressure on the viewers of the video. When interaction is required, he must be creative and stay away from the imperative.
Which offer do you prefer (I ask you to click the subscribe button immediately) or (if you like the content presented, we will be very happy to subscribe)? Of course, the most polite, gentle and innovative option is option #2.
Spam is something that some content creators have come up with to draw attention to their channels. These are urgent comments for subscriptions and likes on other channels owned by the most famous YouTubers, and we do not advise you to ask to interact in this way.
The idea is not objectionable, it can really interest you. but how? Interact with the content provided by this YouTuber in your own way. It's entirely possible that your comment will attract some subscribers rather than a vague like or subscribe to a channel we don't know anything about.
One of the methods of interaction that YouTubers, whether newbies or professionals ignore is replies to comments. If your channel is new, ignoring comments and not responding to them is not justified.
These comments are the most effective way to communicate with your potential future audience. It is expected that this will increase his sincerity and interest in the channel, while the bridges of communication with him are expanded.
But if the fan base of your channel expands a little. Replying to all comments will sometimes be impossible.
So it's better than completely ignoring it, set aside a specific time each day to respond to all the comments and requests you receive, which will also carry helpful content development suggestions.
7. Ugly intro and photo
We assume that you were able to get a click from a browser on YouTube. What motivates this new viewer on the channel to complete the video and thus click to subscribe to your channel?
What prompts this browser to complete the clip is the first 5-10 seconds. Some YouTubers waste those 10 seconds on long and boring intros, even if the content is worth watching. Or an urgent request to subscribe or subscribe.
We recommend that you quote the most important part of the clip and play it first to capture this browser. Or, if you don't want to reveal all your documents, we recommend that you write a captivating intro directly related to the content of the clip.
The image of the clip (thumbnail) is one of the first and most important factors in helping to attract views of your content. Be sure to choose a suitable and attractive image. An attractive image can save you the hassle of looking for a good introduction, as it can get the job done.
8. Non-original content
One of the things that put your content at risk and threaten to be removed is that it is not original. What does the term "non-original content" mean?
Non-original content is content that has been borrowed or copied from another content creator. In the event that you decide to quote a clip from other original content without permission, in this case, you are subject to the immediate removal of your content by the YouTube administration.
This is not the only punishment that awaits you. If you repeat this 3 or more times, your channel will be permanently removed from the site! What if you want to quote and feel like your content might look incomplete if you don't use this external plugin?
You must inform the owner directly, in a politely written letter, of your desire to use some of their content and the context in which you will be using it.
Also, you should expect the original owner to get a share of the revenue from your clip if it becomes a hit. The value of this profit is determined by agreement between you.
These terms may seem a bit unfair, but it's a lot better than risking the removal of a clip or channel.
9. Social networking sites
Promoting YouTube clips through your social media sites is the beating heart of video marketing in general.
Some YouTubers ignore social media marketing which results in clips not getting enough views. This is one of the most common mistakes many content creators make.
Facebook has almost three billion users worldwide. 300 million users. The same applies to Twitter, Tik Tok, Snapchat, and the rest of the social networking sites.
Just promoting YouTube videos YouTube only deprives you of the benefits of these billions of numbers. What can cause
Meet and chat with different people. It will also provide you with constant channel offers. And honest comments about the mistakes your content contains, which will help you avoid them in the future.
10. Ignore Buying Views
Well, you have avoided all the previous mistakes. You have created a channel with valuable and interesting content. You create good headlines and take care of social media marketing clips while maintaining a good interaction with your followers.
But still something is missing, I don’t get the right amount of views and attention. is not it? What is the last mistake I should avoid?
The YouTube algorithm may not serve some content creators properly, and there's only one thing left to do here - buy views. Don't ignore this decision and don't underestimate its impact on your channel.
Although some do not recommend this solution due to the scam that is carried out through it from unreliable sites. However, we highly recommend this to counteract stagnation in your channel, but with a few important criteria in mind:
1. It doesn't make sense for Walid's content to get over 100,000 views in one night. This can result in YouTube blacklisting your channel, and your buying of views may seem obvious to everyone.
At the beginning of the buying process, we recommend that you limit yourself to, for example, 1000 views, and then gradually add more to them.
2. If you are confident in the quality of your content, why not buy engagement instead of views? View buying sites can sell you comments and likes from real followers.
We encourage you to give this a try as valuable content gets viewed faster and your clip ranks higher in search.
3. Deal with reputable websites, even if their prices are slightly higher than others. Stay away from sites that sell you subscriber and interactor bots.
You want real interaction, so we bring you some good options that have an environment and a great experience of buying views and interactions.
4. Contact the site support team to make sure they are able to sell you targeted views (both by interests and by geography). This is a very important point.
a) famoid: A trusted site for buying views and participation on YouTube. Plus, its pricing packages start at just $13 for 1,000 views, which we recommend.
b) MediaMister: one of the cheapest sites to buy views. The price for 1000 views is only $8. It also includes sections for buying likes and interacting on all other social networks.
Make sure buying views is completely legal. There is nothing in YouTube's terms and conditions that forbids this. Unless you have entered into a contract with unreliable sites that sell you fake accounts. Here you may be in danger.
The chance of you getting original views after buying views is very high, but it only depends on how good and engaging the content you provide is.
After all, if you believe that YouTube is the widest gateway to achieve your dream of building a successful brand. Make sure you are familiar with the bugs that might hinder your progress. I also learned how to avoid it. Now you know perfectly well what you will encounter in the world of YouTube.
