Include links to your blog, website, etc. as part of your background and profile material. This helps viewers to gain a broader picture of who you are and what you provide online.
Ensure that the lighting is good. Bad lighting is irritating because there are shadows, blurry bits and an inability to focus properly. All of this suggests poor quality and soon becomes so annoying it’s hard to persevere with. Film with daylight where possible or use excellent indoor lighting in the filming areas. Don’t have annoying or distracting noises in the background of videos. Such noises can make it difficult to hear your voice may over them. In general, it reduces the professional nature of your work. Make use of sound effects. For example: If someone is meant to be slapping someone, use sound effects, so that it seems real. These help to make the video more professional. If you’re recording videos in real life, don’t use your phone; use an actual camera. If you’re making videos on your computer, don’t use a camera; use screencasting or video capture software like Hypercam or Bandicam. If you’re playing on a game console, use a capture card.
If your videos are the exact same as other people’s videos, that won’t be too interesting. It’s okay, to have the same general theme but make it unique. Remember that people are meant to want to copy your videos, not the other way around! Adhere to the rules about copyright. Avoid using music, stills and video clips that are copyright unless you have the permission for them. It’s demoralizing to have your video taken down because the copyright police found your content in breach of the rules.
Be careful when considering whether or not to advertise. Advertisements are distracting and annoying, and people don’t like to see them when they’re reading through comments. Focus on quality content and interactions, rather than force-feeding your channel to the viewers.
