Takeaways

• 😀 Avoid the mistake of swapping or trading subscribers, as they won't engage with your content and can hurt your channel's performance.
• 😀 Don't mix topics on your channel unless they align with a universal umbrella theme. Find a long-term niche that appeals to a wide audience.
• 😀 Don’t delete videos unless absolutely necessary. If your content isn't performing, give it time, as it might improve later.
• 😀 Never buy subscribers. It’s a waste of money and YouTube detects bot accounts, which will eventually be removed.
• 😀 Focus on creating quality content rather than chasing views or uploading frequently. Consistency and value matter more than volume.
• 😀 Don’t blame upload settings for poor performance. The key to success is in your content, not the settings or tools.
• 😀 Don’t seek shortcuts or try to find conspiracies for why your views are low. Accept that bad performance may be due to poor content.
• 😀 If you’re using reuploaded content, be aware of the risks of copyright issues. Edit content yourself to avoid this problem.
• 😀 Be patient and avoid the temptation to give up too soon. Success on YouTube takes time, and you can’t predict how each video will perform.
• 😀 Don’t get discouraged by early failures. Keep improving your content, and don't be afraid to start a new channel if needed.

Q & A

What is the first common mistake beginners make on YouTube according to the script?

The first common mistake is asking for subscribers and views, especially through subscriber exchange. This results in subscribers who are not genuinely interested in the content, leading to poor video performance and reduced promotion by YouTube.

Why is asking for subscribers or exchanging subscriptions considered a fatal mistake?

It is a fatal mistake because YouTube promotes videos to audiences it believes will be interested, including your subscribers. If subscribers were exchanged without real interest in your content, they won’t watch the videos, causing YouTube to stop promoting your content, which leads to the video getting stuck or dying.

Can mixing different topics on a YouTube channel be harmful?

Yes, mixing different topics can confuse the audience. It’s better to stick to a specific topic or theme for your channel. If the audience is interested in one topic, they may not be interested in others, causing a disconnect and diminishing long-term growth.

What should a content creator do if they have already made a mistake in choosing their channel's niche?

If a creator has already chosen the wrong niche, the best advice is to start a new channel with a more universal topic that can have long-term potential, such as the examples given in the video.

What is the problem with deleting videos on YouTube?

Deleting videos can be harmful, especially if they were reuploads. If a channel has many reuploads, the creator should start fresh with self-edited content to avoid copyright issues and maintain long-term sustainability.

What should you do if your video doesn't perform well in the first few hours?

If your video doesn’t perform well initially, don’t panic. Sometimes, a video may take time to gain traction. The script mentions that one of the creator’s videos reached a million views weeks after initial stagnation.

Why is buying subscribers not a good idea?

Buying subscribers is not advisable because YouTube can detect fake subscribers, and they will be removed over time. Additionally, it’s pointless to have subscribers who don’t watch your content.

What’s more important: having many subscribers or getting good views per video?

Views per video are more important than the number of subscribers. The focus should be on creating content that attracts viewers and engages them, not just on accumulating subscribers.

What’s wrong with chasing video quantity over quality?

Chasing video quantity can lead to a drop in content quality, making it difficult to sustain long-term growth. It’s better to focus on creating consistently high-quality content rather than uploading frequently without maintaining quality.

What should content creators focus on when uploading videos?

When uploading videos, content creators should focus on quality content, relevant titles, and descriptions, especially for videos that people will search for. Thumbnails are important for regular videos but less crucial for Shorts.
