The 1 mistake that's killing 90% of new channels

You're probably doing this too...

So I've been analyzing failed YouTube channels lately

And I keep seeing the same pattern over and over…

People start with huge motivation

They research niches for weeks

They plan out 50 video ideas

They invest in expensive equipment

Then they upload their first video…

23 views

Second video gets 31 views

Third video gets 19 views

By month 3, they quit

But there’s something they always do wrong…

They optimize for perfection instead of performance

They were spending weeks planning the "perfect" content strategy...

But they should have been uploading, learning from the data, and improving

Keyson didn't plan 50 videos in advance

He made one chart video, saw it worked, then made more

Diego didn't wait for the perfect political moment

He started posting consistently and caught the election wave

The algorithm doesn't reward your planning

It rewards your publishing

Stop trying to figure out everything before you start
