AI Summary

This video addresses common mistakes that prevent YouTube channels from growing, targeting new and small YouTubers. The creator outlines five critical errors, from inconsistent posting to content mixing, and explains how to avoid them for sustainable channel growth.

[00:15]
High Failure Rate

90 out of 100 YouTube channels fail; only 5-10 grow, often because they avoid common mistakes.

[01:07]
Mistake 1: Lack of Consistency

New creators often upload irregularly, taking long gaps, which confuses the algorithm and stunts growth. Consistency in a pattern is key, not necessarily daily uploads.

[03:35]
Mistake 2: Mixing Content Niches

Uploading varied content (tech, gaming, comedy) on one channel confuses the algorithm, preventing it from recommending videos effectively. Stick to a single niche.

[05:45]
Mistake 3: Deleting Videos in Bulk

Deleting many videos at once sends negative signals to YouTube, indicating dissatisfaction, which can freeze or kill the channel. Avoid bulk deletions.

[07:04]
Mistake 4: Managing Multiple Channels Prematurely

Creating multiple channels before growing one dilutes effort; none will grow. Focus on one channel first, then expand. Avoid uploading the same video to multiple channels.

[09:08]
Mistake 5: Copy-Pasting Content

Reusing videos from other platforms (Instagram, Facebook) without permission leads to non-monetization and eventual channel death. There's a right way to do it, but not by simple copy-paste.

To grow a YouTube channel, avoid these five mistakes: be consistent, stick to one niche, don't delete videos in bulk, focus on one channel at a time, and never copy-paste content. Following these principles can significantly improve your channel's chances of success.

3 03:35 Avoid the second mistake: Stick to one content niche on your channel to avoid confusing the algorithm.
4 05:45 Avoid the third mistake: Never delete videos in bulk; it sends negative signals to YouTube.
5 07:04 Avoid the fourth mistake: Focus on growing one channel before creating multiple channels.
6 09:08 Avoid the fifth mistake: Do not copy-paste videos from other platforms; it leads to non-monetization.

[00:02] even by mistake, otherwise your video will always get views in this manner. Some videos may get five views, some may get 10 views, some may get 20 views, some may get 50 views, in this way your video will get stuck. Because brother, let me tell you that

[00:15] if 100 channels are created on YouTube, then 90 out of 100 people fail. They leave YouTube or their channel does not grow. Out of 100 people, only five to ten people's channels are able to grow. Why? Because the five to ten people who come do

[00:27] not make any of these mistakes. And brother, today I am going to tell you the basic things. if you ignore this and make any of these mistakes, then the views on your channel will always be like this. 5 10 20 30 40 50 So you

[00:41] can understand how important this thing is. It is a small thing but very important. So let me explain these five mistakes to you one by one. And yes, never make these mistakes even by mistake if you also want to become a YouTuber. Ok? So let's move ahead in the video.

[00:54] But before that, if you are new to the channel then subscribe and also click on the notification on all. Ok? And if you like the video then please like the video also. Now friends, see the first thing, what is the number one mistake?

[01:07] So brother, the first mistake is that most of the new people who come in the beginning make it in excitement. Let's assume that 50 % of the people come to watch on YouTube. Suppose 100 of you have come to YouTube for example,

[01:20] then out of 100, suppose 50 people have come to YouTube just to follow others. Come back after seeing someone. Suppose I saw Manoj De. Someone saw Yogi ji. Meaning, you have created a channel after seeing someone else and that he is earning money from YouTube.

[01:32] subscribers. So let us also start YouTube. Meaning, you do n't have any skills in appearance. Ok? There are no skills. You don't know anything. and started uploading videos. So what happens to those who

[01:46] in the initial days, brother, if there is a new channel, then what does he do, he uploads videos daily, but when he has a few days, 10 days, 15 days, 20 days, then he thinks that what should I

[02:01] make the next video, or what should I make on the next topic, or suppose I do he takes a gap for a few days, okay, I mean, he is not able to work regularly, when he creates a channel in the beginning, so suppose he worked very well for 1 month, okay, for 1 month,

[02:14] but it is seen that either my videos are not getting views, which topic should I make videos, so what does he do, he starts taking a gap, sometimes he takes a gap of 10 days, then whenever he feels like it, he uploads one video,

[02:28] then sometimes let's say he takes a gap of 5 days, then whenever he feels like it So then you upload a video and sometimes you take a gap of one month, this is what new people do and those who come by imitation, so if you are making a mistake like this, okay, if you are not working regularly, then

[02:41] brother, understand that your channel can get into very serious trouble, I am telling you and I will tell you one thing. It is not necessary that you have to upload videos daily on YouTube. This is not necessary. What can you do on YouTube? You can upload a video

[02:53] with a pattern. Ok? As I tell you. It is not necessary that you upload a video daily. YouTube does not say that you should upload daily. But YouTube says that you should be regular. Pour in a pattern. Like if you are uploading daily then upload videos daily. If

[03:07] you put in one day and leave out one day. Then put it in for a day, then left it for a day. Then put it like this. This is what YouTube says, or if suppose you upload one day, gap of two days, if you are uploading like this then you should upload like this, that is, you should

[03:22] upload in a pattern, it is not like that sometimes you upload continuously for three days, then take a gap of six days, then sometimes you upload after skipping a day, then sometimes you take a gap of 10 days, you should not do it like this, you have to work with a rule and be consistent, this is the first thing, okay, now friends,

[03:35] after this let us talk about what is the second mistake, brother, the second mistake is also done by many people, like especially the new YouTubers also do this. Whatever I am telling you, especially small YouTubers and new YouTubers do it, who do not have good knowledge

[03:48] about YouTube. Now let me tell you one thing. People who come just for the sake of seeing or bring ideas from somewhere. For example, suppose you have a tag channel. Ok? You created a tag channel. Now you start uploading videos on the channel.

[04:00] Suppose your video gets 50 views on some, 40 on some, 30 on some , 20 on some. This is how the views are coming. Ok? So you saw that friend, I am making videos daily. My video is not getting views.

[04:13] So what do you guys do? Many of you now think that I am 's make a different kind of video. Now suppose you see someone gaming and their video gets a good number of views. So what did you do?

[04:26] Now he started uploading gaming videos on the same tech channel. Ok? I started uploading videos related to gaming. Now I worked on this again for a few days. For example, suppose you worked for 1 month or suppose you worked for 2 months. After that I saw that I am not getting views on this also. Let's

[04:38] try something else. what did you do then? Now he started broadcasting comedy shows on the same channel as an example. Ok? Started posting comedy videos. Worked on this for a few days also. No response received. Then what did you do? He started posting some other kind of content on the same channel.

[04:50] posting about your experiments or suppose you start a blog. This means that whatever channel you had, all the mixed content became available on that channel. Sometimes you post about tech, sometimes about gaming, sometimes about comedy, sometimes about experiments

[05:04] , sometimes you start blogging. So if you do this then brother, your entire mixed content will come. Ok? Meaning it will become like khichdi. So brother, what will happen in that case? Your channel is never going to grow. If you mix content, then

[05:16] YouTube's algorithm system will get confused as to which video of this person should we uploading all types of videos on a single channel. Sometimes blogging, sometimes cooking, sometimes tech, sometimes gaming. So which videos should we make viral? This algorithm will

[05:31] content. Ok? Remember this thing. And let me tell you one more thing. What are people doing right now? For example, look at the third thing. What should we do now ? Suppose the video is uploaded. Ok? Now I posted some videos as examples.

[05:45] Ok? Suppose a video gets 50 views, another gets 60 views or it can be anything. There may be 30 views or 40 views. Now I see that I am not getting views on all these videos. Ok? So what did he do? The video was deleted. Meaning it was

[05:57] uploaded. I saw that it had been 2 days, 4 days, 5 days or even 1 month. Saw that the video has no views. Let's delete all the videos. Uploaded the videos again one by one. Many people do this without thinking too much so

[06:11] delete that. Let's put it again. Like this. Meaning deleted, uploaded, deleted, uploaded. If you are doing this then brother, your channel will gradually freeze and become completely dead. Can you understand? Because brother,

[06:25] look, let me tell you one thing, there is an option to delete videos on YouTube, so brother, there is an option to delete, so it is useful, you can delete them, YouTube has given the option, but brother, never delete too many videos in bulk, if you

[06:38] delete too many at once, then a negative signal goes to YouTube, what this person is not interested in his own videos, is uploading his own videos, is not satisfied with himself, is deleting them himself, so what should you do in such a situation, never delete videos in bulk, so

[06:52] so what should you do in such a situation, never delete videos in bulk, so ? Now one thing that is five fourth thing okay ? Look, these days people are doing this a lot just to follow others. Actually look, do you know what people are doing?

[07:04] I also came after seeing someone. So what are people doing? Working on multiple channels. Ok? Working on multiple channels. Working on multiple channels. Now friends, let me tell you one thing. Suppose you have a small

[07:20] , not many people know you. And suppose you create two channels or three channels, then brother, all of that is a waste. Not a single channel of yours will grow. Let me tell you how. Actually understand carefully. Suppose you

[07:34] have a channel. You created the channel first. Now suppose you have 500 subscribers on your channel. Or suppose there are only 1000 subscribers or suppose there are 1500 subscribers. No matter how much. Now understand one thing. When your single channel has not grown yet, then

[07:47] single channel has not grown yet, then Suppose you have seen Manoj Dey, he has Charap channel, Manoj Dey has Manoj Dey 2.0, Manoj Dey has blog, Manoj Dey has podcast, then

[08:01] some channel or the other will grow, maximum people think this, maximum people think that friend, I create three channels, now some channel or the other of mine will definitely grow, okay, so brother, none of your channels will grow, I am telling you. The

[08:15] channel will grow only when one of your channels grows. First you have to work on one channel. Once your one channel grows, then you can create two channels, three channels, all the channels will work. Ok? Otherwise what will happen? In the beginning, whatever brain you use on a single channel, it will become a waste.

[08:28] In the beginning, whatever brain you use on a single channel, it will become a waste. Due to which no channel will work. So remember this thing. What needs to be done first? You have to work on one channel. Grow a channel. After that create two-three

[08:41] channels. Don't work on too many channels at the same time. And what is the most important thing people do ? What do you do if you create more channels ? The same video is uploaded on all channels. Otherwise, your entire channel will be destroyed. Don't upload the same video to all channels. It will

[08:55] not be monetized at all. Your channel may also be deleted. Remember this thing. Whether it is your own video or your own channel , it is not going to make any difference. Upload one video to one channel. Ok? Now friends, after this let us talk about the thing which is

[09:08] trending a lot in India at present. Ok? Fifth thing, now look at one thing, you must have heard about USA or copy paste. Ok? You must have heard about copy paste. As I told you, some people in the US say that you should work on US channels.

[09:23] Some people say work on copy paste. So it's easier for people to see it. So what is that downloaded the video from somewhere else and uploaded it on YouTube after doing some editing. Ok? In this way. Or so are some people. Suppose you downloaded a video from Instagram

[09:36] and uploaded it to YouTube. Someone downloaded it from Facebook and put it on YouTube. What do some people do? Instagram as it happened. Ok? Instagram, what happened? Suppose he picked up 10 funny videos from Insta. Ok? Picked up the funny video.

[09:48] everyone. Ok? In this way everyone was connected. Now after adding, make a video of 10 minutes or 15 minutes and upload that video on YouTube. I thought that if my video goes viral then there will be good growth. So brother, your video will go viral

[10:02] because you have chosen a funny one, people will see it and like it. It will go viral. But that channel will not be monetized and what will happen with that? Your channel will slowly become dead. Even if one or two videos become popular, your channel will gradually become dead. So

[10:14] you never have to copy and paste videos from somewhere else. Look friend, there is nothing wrong in copying and pasting. Ok? This is absolutely the right thing. By copying and pasting you can easily earn lakhs of rupees. Ok ? You can understand. You can also monetize very quickly. The

[10:27] views will also be strong. But there is a right way for it. If you are brother, this is absolutely the wrong way. If you want to can try this video. I have told a new trend on this. Where you

[10:42] Neither face nor voice is to be shown by copying and pasting. And the channel will also be monetized. can watch the video by clicking on it. Never make the remaining five mistakes that I have mentioned. And if you liked the video, please like it. If you are new to the channel

[10:57] like it. If you are new to the channel then please subscribe.
