5 mistakes that kill faceless channels (I see these constantly)
If you're starting a faceless channel, avoiding these puts you ahead of most people:
- Chasing too many niches. Jumping topics confuses the algorithm and the audience. Pick one and go deep.
- Copy-paste content. Reposting the same listicle everyone else makes. Add your own angle or opinion, that's the one thing that can't be copied.
- Ignoring the thumbnail and title. A great video nobody clicks earns nothing. These deserve as much effort as the video itself.
- Quitting before video 30. Most people give up at video 8, right before things usually start moving. The algorithm needs data first.
- No hook. If the first 10 seconds don't grab people, the rest doesn't matter.
Which of these have you been guilty of? I'll admit I ignored thumbnails for way too long.
