These common content mistakes are ones that MANY creators find themselves making. Some of them are obvious and others, not so much.

As always when it comes to YouTube, the easiest answer to any question is, "it depends." However, the common mistakes we cover in this episode are ones that any channel can find themselves making, and ones that *most* channels would likely feel the need to correct. Fixing them will mean a higher audience retention on your videos, which can lead to more views, as your videos have a better chance of being recommended to a broader audience.
