My 3 Biggest Post-Monetization Regrets

I'm sharing the mistakes I made on my YouTube monetization journey.

Mistake 1: Using Copyrighted Music

At first, I used famous pop songs as background music, and a portion of my revenue went to the copyright holders.

Solution: Use royalty-free music from sources like the YouTube Audio Library and Epidemic Sound.

Mistake 2: Chasing Only Trends

To get more views, I made trending videos that didn't align with my channel's identity, which caused me to lose subscribers.

Solution: Find a balance between trends and your channel's identity.

Mistake 3: Focusing Only on Revenue

I was so focused on CPM and RPM that the quality of my content started to suffer.

Solution: Prioritize viewer satisfaction, and the revenue will follow naturally.

Conclusion

Everyone makes mistakes, but what's important is to acknowledge them quickly and improve.

Don't make these same mistakes! ⚠️
