What is the best way (and what) do you remove your YouTube channel

YouTube is overflowing with videos. Creators upload more than 500 hours of videos every minute.

Although some upload content just for fun, a majority (if not most) users who are on the platform want to earn money from their efforts, either via monetization or selling goods and services off-site or either of the two.

With 122 million active daily users, it's not hard to understand the appeal of YouTube. The potential to connect with users you wouldn't be able to connect with otherwise is huge. But it's also a hard-won race, and the possibility of getting lost in a crowded digital pool is present.

Not sure if your channel on YouTube is doing enough to help you? There are several ways to consider re-evaluating your plan, conceal, or delete the YouTube account.

Why you might decide to delet your YouTube channel

If you're looking to find a player that is completely free of ads

YouTube earns money by displaying ads in videos its algorithm considers advertiser-friendly regardless of whether a channel is monetized.

If your YouTube channel gets thousands of viewers and you're monetized--this can translate into healthy Adsense payouts. If it doesn't pull those numbers, your subscribers may be subject to less than ideal viewing experience.

Although YouTube lets creators select the best placement of ads to minimize disruption but even ads that are well placed can prevent viewers from enjoying the seamless user experience they'd want, especially with long-form videos.

You'd like to make money from your content but not YouTube

There are many great reasons to monetize your website content, but not via YouTube.

• Follow YouTube's policies on monetization
• You must be a resident of a participant country or in a region
• At the very least, 4,000 watching hours
• Do you have an AdSense account connected to YouTube channel(s)

In addition, the exact details of the monetization process remain unclear. No one knows exactly how YouTube's algorithms determine who earns what--and given that Google takes 45 percent of users' adsense earnings and you'll get about half the revenue your videos generate.

Lastly, AdSense payouts depend largely on views, subscribers, and the advertiser-friendliness of the content itself. If your content isn't earning regularly high amount of views in the area of advertising that's friendly then your income will be quite low.

You're not getting the engagement you want

If your engagement on your channel is declining, it's usually time to review the content strategy you've implemented. Ask yourself these questions:

• Are you targeting an established audience that spends time in YouTube?
• Are you able to clearly define who your content serves and the value it provides?
• Do you consistently model that value in the videos you publish?
• Is it possible for someone to visit your channel and understand within few seconds what you're talking about, and what they can expect from it?
• ...Or is your channel's content all over the place?

The process of overcoming these confusions in order to build a consistent brand experience is a successful way to get more of people to view your site. If the content you offer meets or surpasses the audience's expectations, a steady trickle of followers who are similar to them will follow.

In the end, some marketing channels are more effective with certain audiences over others. If you're a tiny B2B brand trying to stand out on YouTube, for example it might be more difficult to be seen because people are looking for relevant information on other platforms, such as LinkedIn.

Instead, make sure to share videos on channels where your most ideal clients are likely to enjoy it.

You want higher quality embeds

Just as the "look and the feel" of your channel is important in the event that viewers stumble upon it on YouTube the way your content shows up when embedded in web pages, landing pages or on other websites can also be a factor. Much.

There are only a couple of seconds to catch people's attention. But video or thumbnails that are blurry can easily foil your mission. If your content doesn't immediately appear professional and polished, or viewers experience issues buffering and playing your vid, they'll bounce.

If you're thinking about the video hosting platform, search for one that is capable of fast and top-quality transcoding, has high dynamic range (HDR), and can support video qualities in 4k or greater.

Last reflections

YouTube isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so whether or not you need to remove your channel comes down to the priorities of your business and personal preferences. The management of a presence on YouTube might not be the most effective driver for your company, particularly when you're experiencing better performance and engagement on other channels with less impact.

The truth is that YouTube helps content creators earn. But the road to revenue isn't an easy one for many, and in the end, you're not really in the driver's seat.
