General Tips and Ideas

• Play with friends. So much more fun, comedy, and great things can happen when friends play together.
• Don’t have extra "filler" content. People will get bored and stop watching.
• Have a purpose to your video, and stick to that purpose.
• No continuous shrieking. Yes, it is popular with the younger kids, but most people turn it off.
• No clickbait, no lies. Honesty goes a long way. 
• Do what you say you will do. If you introduce your video as a compilation of fails, then your video will be a compilation of fails.
• Save the best for last so your viewer watches until the end.
• Good quality microphone and lighting for clarity. Natural lighting is the best and cheapest.

The Technical Part

• Have a great intro. The intro tells your viewers what your video is about. A great intro has a hook that leads your viewers to watch until the end.
• Middle of the video does what you say you will do in the intro. No extra filler. This is also a chance to engage your viewers. Ask them questions. Invite them to comment.
• End of the video is completing what you said you would do. End with something exciting or funny whenever possible.
• Have a great outro. Thank your viewers for watching. Ask if they enjoyed the video. Ask them which part they liked best. Very important: Ask to like/share/subscribe/comment. Ask them to check out your Facebook/Twitter/Twitch/YouTube/Instagram. Lead your viewers into another similar video of yours or tell them about the next video you are creating.
