There are 21 deadly mistakes that new (and even experienced) YouTubers make that keep them stuck at zero views. In this video, Sean and Nathan break down the biggest pitfalls holding your channel back in 2026—from looking at the wrong part of the camera to ignoring the only analytics that actually matter.

We cover everything from quick wins you can fix in your next upload (like removing your 10-second logo intro) to the deeper mindset shifts needed to treat YouTube like a business.

In this video, we cover:

Presentation Hacks: Why looking at the lens (not the screen) changes everything.

Editing Tips: Why long intros and "fluff" are killing your retention.

Strategy: The "In-N-Out" strategy for Calls to Action (CTAs).

Research: How to stop making videos nobody is searching for.

Mindset: The danger of "quitting too soon" and making videos for yourself instead of the viewer.

Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
