The four-part YouTube growth mini-series

Each lesson diagnoses one specific reason a small channel stalls, then hands you the free tool that fixes it. Every page also includes the scene-by-scene script so you can render your own version in Video Forge.

  1. 1Why Your YouTube Videos Get Impressions But No ViewsIf YouTube is showing your video and nobody is clicking, the problem is the packaging, not the algorithm. Here's how to read your CTR and fix it.
  2. 2Do YouTube Tags Still Work in 2026?Tags won't rescue a bad video, but they decide which searches you're eligible for. The rule that matters: every tag should be 3–4 words.
  3. 3Why People Watch Your Videos But Don't SubscribeA subscribe is a prediction about your next video. If a viewer can't guess what that video will be, they won't subscribe — no matter how good this one was.
  4. 4I Audited a Small YouTube Channel — Here's What Was WrongThe same seven problems show up on almost every small channel: title length, thin descriptions, no timestamps, bad tags, weak thumbnails, inconsistent uploads, low views-per-sub.
