When I first started making videos on YouTube, I made every mistake possible. I was posting random videos, constantly changing topics, and I thought buying expensive gear was the secret to success. I was wrong.
Now, after making over 100 videos for Think Media, I know exactly what works. In this video, I break down the 7 things I would do completely differently if I had to start a YouTube channel from zero in 2026.
We cover everything from why you should start messy with your first video to the importance of mastering search-based content (SEO) to get discovered fast. I also explain why audio matters more than your camera, how to "trend surf" to borrow attention from bigger channels, and the #1 mindset shift you need to treat YouTube like a business from day one.
In this video, you will learn:
The "Just Start" Mindset: Why your first video will be your worst (and why that's okay).
Gear Strategy: Why you should prioritize audio over a fancy camera and start with your smartphone.
Search Mastery: How to use the "How-To" formula to get views while you sleep.
Trend Surfing: How to borrow attention from bigger channels and topics.
Packaging: Why marketing (Titles & Thumbnails) is more important than the content itself.
Market Gaps: How to find an underserved niche using the "Blue Ocean Strategy."
Monetization: The 3 P's framework (Passion, Proficiency, Profit) to make money from day one.
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.
