If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re not just “playing around” on YouTube.

You’re serious. You’ve been uploading, experimenting, watching tutorials at 1.5x speed.

You care.

But there’s something no one tells you upfront:

YouTube doesn’t give warnings for some mistakes. It just quietly buries you, or worse, bans you.

Today, I’m going to walk you through the 3 most common mistakes small creators make, mistakes that can literally kill your channel overnight.

• I’ll show you exactly why they happen.
• I’ll explain how to avoid them.
• And I’ll tell you what I wish someone told me when I started.

But first… a quick confession.

I’ve made all 3 of these mistakes myself. Every single one. I’ve had videos mysteriously disappear from search. I’ve had copyright claims hit out of nowhere. I even almost lost my channel to a phishing email dressed up as a “brand collab.”

So yeah, I’ve got scars. I’ve learned the hard way. But you? You don’t have to.
