To save you from the setback, we\u2019ve laid down the 6 most common mistakes YouTubers make. Make sure you read this post to know whether you&#8217;re making any of these mistakes. If you are, we&#8217;ll show you how to fix these glitches fast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Spamming other YouTuber\u2019s comment section<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many creators leave spammy-looking comments like \u201csub-for-sub\u201d, \u201clike-for-like\u201d, \u201cgo check out my YouTube channel\u201d, \u201cplease subscribe to my YouTube channel\u201d or other redundant sentences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> People are not going to check out your videos unless they find you interesting. Take the time to watch a YouTuber\u2019s entire video and leave genuine comments that add value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/xLhloTgdu7i92\/giphy.gif\" width=\"812\" height=\"585\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Inserting long video titles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your video title is too long, the entire heading might not show up on search engine results. The sentence gets snipped off after a point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> Your video titles must be as short as possible. Keep it crisp and concise upto 5-10 words. Minimise conjunctions, only use your main keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-865 \" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.flintzy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/14142701\/Capture-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"807\" height=\"610\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Talking too much about yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People will not want to listen to who you are, what you like and what you do unless you are already an established YouTuber with a large fan base. People clicked on your video to know about the topic you are discussing, and not to hear you talk about yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> Don\u2019t dilly-dally and talk about yourself when you need to be talking about the main topic you want to convey in your video. Just make a short 5-10 second introduction about yourself and cut to the chase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/iHskdY9SMLFZuQ2u5c\/giphy.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"441\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Trying to monetize early in your video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placing advertisements too early in the video, especially in the first 30 seconds, is a big no no. This will make people drop out of your videos soon. The first 30 seconds of your video should be dedicated to your hook &#8211; the punch that draws viewers to your videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> Ideally, you should place your advertisements towards the end of your video as you wrapping things up. Or strategically position your product placement after you introduce your hook and manage to reel viewers in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DMing Celebrities To Pick My Makeup\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JFcdAfmzM1s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Publishing videos and not promoting them<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing your videos is as important as creating videos. If you\u2019re flooding your channel with videos and still aren\u2019t getting enough traction, STOP. For example, if you\u2019ve created 20 videos and only have 1000 views collectively, you need to know when to draw the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> Start promoting each video individually. With each video you promote, your viewership should gradually increase. Proceed to create your next batch of videos only when you reach your benchmark views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/cYaBD8kxE4PZudHBRA\/giphy.gif\" width=\"811\" height=\"453\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Not being original<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many creators are following famous YouTubers and mimicking their content style, genre and personality traits. In the process, these creators forget their own individuality and become one among the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Quick fix:<\/strong> Find a clear value proposition for your YouTube channel. What makes you and your channel unique? What are you doing differently that sets you apart from the competition?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/l2JJwSHqR1t11I3Qc\/giphy.gif\" width=\"807\" height=\"807\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mistakes are good.
