Frequent mistakes young youtubers make
As of 2018, YouTube is undeniably the most popular content platform in the world. More and more content creators seek fame and recognition of their talents there. Due to this, the YouTube scene has become a lot more competitive in the recent years. We will share with you 5 YouTube mistakes to avoid when starting a new channel.
Not having a channel banner. When people go onto your channel, first thing they should see is the banner on top. A channel banner is something like a basic introduction to your channel. Here, you should portray what it is that your channel is about. This is the first milestone when people will decide if they want to watch your videos and keep coming back for more content. You should also present a key value proposition, arguing that your content is worth spending time on.
Not having a strategy of your content development. You might think you know what people want to see, then you make a video and put it up there. Unfortunately, that is not how YouTube works. You have to conduct research to understand what people are actually responding to. All YouTube success stories have got content and marketing strategies at their core. SO, before even starting a YouTube channel, ask yourself these questions: What do I want to be on YouTube? What can my content idea achieve? Who will be my audience?
Ignoring the description box. YouTube works pretty much like Google, since YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world. Since search algorithms are focused on text-based content, the description box is a perfect opportunity to increase your channel’s search ranking results. The best way to use it is to include useful details about your video with keywords related to your core content.
Purchasing low-quality views. There is a number of view providers on the Internet that offer cheap viewer quantities. This can look like an attractive option but low-quality views are only good-looking numbers that don’t offer marketing benefits in the long term. All you should do is to find a view provider with a good reputation and whose views can help you appear as high as possible in search results.
Picking up every sponsorship opportunity. Sponsorships are one of the most convenient ways to generate profit on YouTube. It is quite easier to advertise through content creators — owing to high level of trust they can persuade their viewers to buy something easier. However, excessive use of video time for advertisement purposes will eventually turn your viewership against you. Working with brands whose products are the most relevant to your content is the right way to go.
Giving up too early. As mentioned before, YouTube is highly competitive. This can be discouraging for some of the newcomers and they quit without realising their full potential. To be frank, there is no such thing as overnight success, at least on YouTube. On the other hand, you should understand that even the most popular YouTubers started off the same way as any newcomer does. Their first videos had less than 100 views and they had just a few subscribers.
In either case, success on Youtube breaks down to just a few points — clever strategy and interesting content. Good luck!
