About the video:
Ever wonder why some channels with tons of subscribers still can't get monetized? In this video, I'm spilling the tea on the 8 critical mistakes that prevented my 1,800 subscriber channel from reaching YouTube monetization. I'm sharing exactly why I ultimately decided to delete everything and start fresh!
And now 3 months later, would I do it again? Do I regret it?
These monetization roadblocks affected my watch time, audience retention, and ultimately kept me from hitting the YouTube Partner Program requirements. If you're struggling to monetize your channel or seeing slow growth, you might be making these same errors!

Content strategy fails that hurt my channel growth
Why my CTR and retention rates were suffering
The niche selection mistake almost everyone makes
How I was sabotaging my own watch hours
Why more subscribers doesn't always mean more money
The algorithm mistakes that buried my videos
Whether you're just starting your YouTube journey or trying to grow past a plateau, these insights will help you avoid the same pitfalls that cost me an entire channel's worth of work!
