I have been seeing a lot of people make the same mistakes via vlogging lately and I thought a post on the subject outlining the 5 most common ones I see was a good idea. Hope you enjoy it!
5. Bad Titles – The main one I see people making is the titles they are choosing for there videos. Sometimes they put there name on the title or even a un-related name. These videos are either banned or are never viewed once word gets around about the title being misleading.
4. Description Link – I see a lot of people putting there link in the description of there videos which is good but they are not putting the http:// so people can easily click the link. Never forget the http:// on your url in YouTube because it wont be a live link if you dont!
3. No Play lists – Why haven’t you created a couple play lists to help your subscribers find relevant videos? Play lists are powerful and worth creating, comment below if you dont know how and I will make a post on it for you!
2. No Custom Channel Design – You should customize your own Channel so its all yours and one of a kind! I did one for the PixelForLife YouTube Channel and it helped us!
1. Bad Use Of Tags On Each Video – The biggest mistake I see people making is there miss-use or non-use of the tags feature in YouTube and other major video sites. Be sure to use your tags just like you would technorati tags or the meta tags of a website (I know I’m going back a little 1998-ish on that one but trust me, this is how it works on YouTube).
If you follow those mistakes and avoid them you should be a way better video blogger then you were before!

Not olny bad titles but bad video/audio can kill a vlog. I have seen a few vlogs that had horrible production value. Another thing i have noticed is really loud music and long intros/ endings.

You want time to do your research. Find out references and talk to other parents who have kids at this facility. Make a list ahead of time of what questions to ask. What things are important to you? You want to interview the person who is in charge and talk to one of the teachers, but also, see if you can drop in to observe. You shouldn’t have to be taken on a carefully guarded, escorted tour of the facility.
April 1st, 2009 at 5:45 am
To get started you must have an idea or, a spark of an idea or, a little bit of curiosity. It doesn’t take much. Produce a few minutes of video by using a digital camera or a still camera with ‘movie’ feature, edit it or don’t and post it online and see what happens is more the rule of thumb. Sure, it can be grandiose with corporate advertising, field reporters, proper credits and a script. Your vlog can also be ‘home-video’ style entertainment of you sitting in your bedroom eating a bowl of cereal. The numbers don’t lie- people want to see the intimate details of other people’s lives.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is the title. In a title, you need to make a title that draws people in and makes them want to watch it.
April 6th, 2009 at 5:06 am
The biggest problem with the article is the title. Title must be attractive so that it can draw the attention for the users but not so. It is not so user friendly.
April 6th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Simple tips but I agree especially to number 1 and 4. These are the ones I forget the most. As for the tags, I think what you can do is to research first for the keywords on Google adwords, then save a copy on notepad so you can just copy paste it whenever you’re asked for tags and keywords.

Quality is also key in Vlogging. I saw a Vlog by Sean Collins where he did a crappy version on “Cribs” and it was terrible, not to mention the fact it looks like he likes in his mothers basement.
June 9th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Pretty well said. This just shows the importance of not rushing your every Vlogging efforts. Take time to careful choose tags, and make sure everything is taken advantage of.
June 10th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I’m not sure about the 5 biggest…but one I’ve heard from countless friends is not being given enough attention – they go right in to the actual act, and forget about the emotional bonding that takes place beforehand.

Why UGG Boot is So Popular?
Ugg boots, also spelled ugh boots and ug boots, are a style of sheepskin boot, with wool as the inner lining and a tanned outer surface worn by both men and women. Ugg boots often have a synthetic sole, although this is not universal. Uggs are popular with the teenage set, worn by girls with mini skirts, leggings, and with jeans tucked into the boots. UGGS Boots are also popular with boys, wearing jeans or tracksuit bottoms inside them most commonly.
UGG UK Sale, In Australia and New Zealand, sheepskin boots have long been popular with people in rural occupations, such as sheep shearers, who have ready access to the raw materials,. Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, when they were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in non-pressurized planes at high altitudes. An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water. The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used as generic terms for sheepskin boots in Australia since 1950s and 1960s, when they first appeared in advertising and other publications.
The natural properties of sheepskin results in thermostatic benefits. Thick fleecy fibres on the inner part of the boots allows air to circulate and keep the feet at body temperature. Synthetic and faux fur boots do not have these properties and sheepskin boots are highly prized for their effectiveness. Ugg boots are designed to be worn without socks in order to maximize the benefits of sheepskin.
What’s more, This Year’s Hottest UGG Boots Style–UGG Bailey Button Boots, is already starting to sell well. UGG UK Sale, it is not a matter of if this style sells out, but how quickly. Every year people procrastinate and then they can’t find the Ugg Boots they want. So, Shop early for the best selection.
