I think posting without understanding your audience is a big mistake. Knowing what your viewers like can make a huge difference.

Newbies tend to take their lack of views as a sign of failure rather than a learning lesson. growth lies in understanding why they keep viewers interested, experimeinting with various angles and constantly making increimental improvements. It is important to be consistent, but to adapt from the findings is even more important.
one thing that i would definitely not do is concentratte exclusively on getting views nd forgetting to build a relationship with urr audience. even a video with fewer views but better interaction can provide uhh with a lot of valuable infformation compared to some random video that got millions of views.

One mistake I see is copying viral videos too closely. Even if they get views, it's hard to build an audience when every post feels like someone else's content. Using trends is fine, but adding your own angle gives people a reason to follow.

Don't focus only on views. Watch time, comments, and returning viewers can tell you more about your real growth.

Don’t copy others’ videos or spam links. Avoid switching niches frequently to keep your account stable.

beginners should stop copying trends without adding their own value and posting randomly without a content plan
focus on a clear niche consistent uploads and using analytics to understand what your audience responds to.

In my opinion avoid copying every viral trend. Try to understand why it works and add your own style.

One of the errors that many people make is concentrating too much on mimicking what is already viral rather than comprehending the reasons behind its success. although trends might offer fleeting engagements, content producers who develop a distinctive style and are able to learn from their analytics tend to perform better. experimentation is important , although changing directions after each un successful video is time consuming.

the biggest mistake is posting videos inconsistently. failing to maintain a regular posting schedule makes it difficult for the algorithm to rank your channel.

i believe that the biggest blunder made by beginners is concentrating too much on the algorithm nd too little on the viewer. rather than copying the trend, concentratte on the reasons y viewers will pause comment or like the video. further do not delay uploading the video until u have the perfect one. the quickest way to devellop is to create, analyze nd adapt with each creatiion.
A major mistake that many beginners make is looking at every video as an individiual gamble rather than observing trends. Just because one poorly performing post does not work out well does not mean that the concept itself is wrong, since there might be the case where the topic was appropriate but the hook and pace didn’t grab the viewer.
The review process is key for any new vlogger, not the process of uploading more content.
I believe that the most common mistake is making videos without knowinng what makes the viewer stay or leave. beginnerss tends to care only about views, but the knowledge comes from watching statistiics on time spent watching, rewatching the content, commnting, and knowing at what parts the viewers react. Each video must provides feedback for the following one.
