Mistake#4: Lack of Connection with Your Viewers. Most people starting out with online video tend to get shy and look away from the camera.

After watching a few of your videos, they will feel like they have a close personal connection with you. If you are still having trouble keeping your eyes from wander away from the camera, have a friend sit directly behind the camera, with their head at eye level with the camera lens, and talk to them in a natural way…pretend the camera is not there.
