Most people watch videos on phones. If yours doesn’t load fast or fit the screen right, they’ll skip it. Use vertical size, bold text, and quick hooks to keep mobile viewers interested from the start.

1. Not Mobile Friendly

Your thumbnail is the first thing people see. If it looks dull or messy, they won’t click. Use bright colors, a clear image or face, and short text that shows what the video is and why it’s worth watching.

2. Boring Video Thumbnail

If your video starts slow, people will scroll away. The first few seconds matter most. Start with a problem, question, or surprise to grab attention and make viewers want to stay till the end.

3. No Strong Start

Viewers often won’t act unless you tell them. End your video with a clear step—like follow, share, visit your site, or watch another video—so they know what to do and stay connected to your content.

4. No Clear Action

People can ignore low video quality, but not bad sound. If your audio is noisy or unclear, they’ll leave fast. Use a decent mic, reduce background noise, and make sure voices are clean and easy to follow.

5. Bad Sound Quality

If you give too much info at once, it’s hard to follow. Focus on one clear topic or message. Break big ideas into smaller parts so viewers understand easily without getting bored or confused.

6. Too Much Info

If your video doesn’t match your audience’s interests, it won’t work. Know who you’re talking to—what they like and need—and create content that solves their problems or answers their questions clearly.

7. Wrong Audience Focus

Even great videos get lost without the right titles, keywords, and tags. Add common search terms, a clear description, and use hashtags to help more people find and watch your content easily.
