Video Making: Don't Make the Same Mistake I Made

When I started on youtube, I did make a big mistake, my mistake was so bad that I could not build enough subscribers and watch time to reach the monetization threshold. It was so frustrating that I gave up youtube and started a blog. However, my mistake was not related to publishing videos that nobody was interested in or using the wrong intro, or even not being consistent in publishing videos. My mistake was publishing videos on a topic that I did not know much about. I chose a niche just because it was considered profitable but sadly I did not know much.
