YouTube is the most popular video sharing platform today, but not everyone knows how to build a channel safely, avoid being hit and reduced interaction. If you are worried about your YouTube channel encountering these problems, let’s learn with TTM Group how to optimize content to limit policy violations and maintain stable interaction.
1. Understand YouTube Policies
Before creating content, you need to understand YouTube’s community guidelines and copyright policies. Some common mistakes that many YouTubers encounter include:
- Copyright Infringement : Using someone else’s music, images, or videos without permission. For example, taking clips from popular movies without permission.
- Misleading or false content : Videos with inaccurate content may be removed or have their reach restricted. For example, posting false news about a news event or product.
- Offensive, violent, or ethno-social content : Videos containing this content may be subject to disciplinary action or age restrictions. For example, excessive use of gore or vulgar language.
2. Create Original Content, Do Not Copy
Exclusive content helps you minimize copyright infringement. Some important notes:
- Produce your own videos, avoid using copyrighted content . For example, shoot your own travel vlogs instead of taking images from other channels.
- Use YouTube’s free music library or sites that offer royalty-free music. For example, find music on the YouTube Audio Library or the Bensound site.
- If using third-party content, you must have a valid license or cite the source . For example, if you want to use a popular piece of music, contact the owner for permission.
3. Create Reasonable Title, Description and Hashtag
How you choose your title, description, and hashtags can have a big impact on your algorithm and your ability to reach your audience:
- Don’t use sensational, misleading, or sensitive keywords in your headlines . For example, don’t use headlines like “Make $10 Million in 1 Day!” if the content isn’t factual.
- Optimize your video description with relevant keywords to help YouTube understand what you’re about. For example, if you’re making a cooking tutorial video, include keywords like “easy recipe,” “delicious cooking,” or “step-by-step instructions.”
- Use relevant hashtags , but don’t overuse irrelevant hashtags. For example, if you’re making a video about sports, avoid using entertainment or technology hashtags.
4. Compliance with Monetization Regulations
If you want to enable monetization, make sure your content complies with YouTube’s policies:
- Do not spam keywords or create spam content . For example, posting a series of videos with the same title just to attract views.
- Do not promote bad or illegal behavior . For example, instructions on how to cheat video games or how to make money illegally.
- Make sure your video doesn’t violate YouTube’s advertising standards . For example, avoid sensitive or offensive content that could result in your ad being restricted.
5. Avoid Spam and Increase Engagement Properly
YouTube values organic engagement very highly, so you should avoid:
- Buying fake views and subs can lead to a decrease in real interactions. For example, using sub-increasing services but having no real viewers.
- Comment spam or forceful calls to action . For example, posting too many similar comments on other videos.
- Abuse of posting too many videos in a short period of time . For example, posting 10 videos/day without quality content.
Instead, do:
- Encourage viewers to comment, like, and share your videos naturally . For example, ask interesting questions for viewers to discuss.
- Create engaging content to keep viewers coming back . For example, create a series of videos to keep viewers coming back.
- Respond to comments to increase engagement with your audience . For example, directly answer questions from viewers instead of just dropping emojis.
6. Post Videos Regularly, on Schedule
Posting videos on a schedule helps your channel maintain a steady amount of engagement. Some tips:
- Choose a time to post videos that fits your audience’s viewing habits . For example, if your channel is geared toward students, post videos in the evening.
- Maintain a consistent posting schedule (e.g. 2 videos/week) . For example, if you’re vlogging, post videos on fixed days like Tuesdays and Fridays.
- Take advantage of Premiere or schedule to optimize initial views . For example, use Premiere to create a premiere event for a new video.
7. Monitor Channel Performance and Make Timely Adjustments
Use YouTube Analytics to track video performance and optimize accordingly:
- Check where your traffic is coming from to improve your reach. For example, if your video gets a lot of views from Google Search, optimize for additional keywords.
- Analyze your audience retention rate to make your content more engaging. For example, if your audience leaves your video after 30 seconds, your intro may not be engaging enough.
- Consider feedback from viewers to improve future content. For example, if many people suggest adding captions, add them now to increase accessibility.
Conclude
Building a safe YouTube channel, avoiding being hit with a stick and losing engagement is not difficult if you follow the right policies and create quality content. Focus on original content, follow YouTube’s rules, optimize your audience reach, and monitor your performance regularly to grow your channel sustainably.
