COMMUNITY FAQS

IS IT OK FOR ME TO ASK ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE CHALLENGE TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL?
Sub4Sub and self-promotion are strictly prohibited inside of the group. This includes inside of comments on any post thread. Sub4Sub may grow your channel's subscribers, but, often leads to subscribers who are not active on your channel. This can hurt your analytics and your rank in search and suggested in the long run.
 
Please feel free to subscribe to channels that you are genuinely interested in learning more from, but please do not ask for subs back. 
WILL THE COMMUNITY STILL BE OPEN AFTER THE CHALLENGE IS OVER?

The community will be available for a limited time after the challenge is over but we will not be hosting daily live sessions after the challenge ends. The replays for the trainings will not be available in the challenge community after May 5th at 11:59 PM PT.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE LIVE STREAMS INSIDE THE CHALLENGE COMMUNITY?
At the start of each session, you can go to the "Challenge Content" space and look for the video to be pinned near the top of your page.  If you don't see this right away, refresh your window until it appears. It will also be pinned to the side bar of the space with the title of the session.
 
The video will have a red LIVE text box on it while we are live so you can make sure you're on the right one. 
 
You can also check your emails for a link to the stream that we will send once we are live.
DO I HAVE TO RSVP AS "GOING" TO EACH LIVE SESSION?
You are not required to RSVP to each LIVE event. However, if you want to know exactly when the LIVE starts, RSVPing will allow you to get notifications and even allow you to add the session directly to your calendar so you don't miss a thing.
WHAT ARE THE POSTING GUIDELINES FOR THE DAILY CHALLENGES AND WHERE CAN THEY BE FOUND?
 
You'll find the daily challenge posts inside of the "Daily Challenges" space of the challenge community.
 
We recommend that you only comment on a post once and if you have anything to add, you can edit or reply to your existing comment. This makes it easier for us to answer your questions and ensure we get to as many people as possible.
CAN I ASK QUESTIONS INSIDE OF THE CHALLENGE COMMUNITY?
You'll be able to ask questions on specific posts within the community. However, you won't be able to create your own post in the group. This is because we want to keep the feed organized so others can easily find the live sessions and replays.
 
If you join VIP, then there will be a dedicated space for you to ask your YouTube questions and someone from our team will be able to help you.
 
To sign up for VIP, please visit ThinkMediaVIP.com
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ASK QUESTIONS DURING THE LIVE SESSIONS IN THE CHALLENGE COMMUNITY?
During each live session, you will need to click or tap "Watch on YouTube" to access the live chat. Members of the Think Media team will be actively engaging with you in the comment section of the videos. They'll be sharing helpful links and answering your questions so you can get the most out of your session.
 
If you have any questions after the live session, you can contact us at www.ThinkMediaSupport.com.
WHAT IF I DON'T JOIN THE CHALLENGE COMMUNITY?
The YouTube 1K Challenge is a highly interactive training and in order to maximize your experience, you'll need to join the challenge community. That is where we have a whole space for interacting with other members, entering into the daily challenges for giveaways, and more.
 
It's completely free to join the challenge community. You'll just need to create an account to login and fully enjoy the challenge.

CHALLENGE FAQS

IS THIS CHALLENGE FREE?

YES! Our 5 Day YouTube 1K Challenge is entirely free to sign up for and participate in. We do have options for additional purchases, but anyone who needs help starting or growing their channel right now is welcome to join the challenge for free.

WHY DO YOU CALL IT A CHALLENGE?

The 5-Day YouTube 1K Challenge is more than the normal live streams that we offer each week on our YouTube Channel.  Each day of the challenge, there is a specific action item that we challenge YOU to complete to get you to TAKE ACTION on your channel.

WHEN WILL REPLAYS BE AVAILABLE UNTIL?

Replays will be available in the challenge community for everyone until Monday, May 5th at 11:59 PM PT.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN MY TIME ZONE?
The sessions can be found in the challenge community under the "Event Schedule." The events listed will automatically convert to your local time zone.
 
But if you still want to double check, the fastest way to figure out your local time is to google "10 AM PT to (insert your local time zone)"
ie. 10 AM PT to ET.
 
Or use a timezone converter app like http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com 
WILL REPLAYS OF EACH SESSION BE AVAILABLE?
Replays of each session will be available inside of the 5 Day YouTube 1K Challenge community while the challenge is taking place. At the end of the challenge, the replays will be removed, but you can find all the content inside our YouTube Course & Coaching Bundle. 
WHERE CAN I FIND ANY LINKS OR DOWNLOADS THAT THE THINK MEDIA TEAM HAS MENTIONED DURING THE LIVE STREAMS?
We'll be adding links and resources to the descriptions of each live training session (which will remain on the replay video). Also, look out for emails with specific links and updates at the end of each challenge day.
 
If you're not getting our emails, contact us at  www.ThinkMediaSupport.com.
 
Links for the best gear and tools that we use and suggest for creating content on YouTube can be found at www.ThinkGearGuide.com and www.ThinkMediaTools.com.
  

 

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN LIVE STREAMS, TRAINING SESSIONS AND GIVEAWAYS ARE HAPPENING?

You can find a complete list of all events in the "Events Schedule" space of the challenge community. We recommend RSVPing "Going" for each session so you can get notification reminders and adding each session to your calendar so you don't miss a thing. 

HOW DO I ENTER THE GIVEAWAY?

You just need to be active in the comments of the live video in order to be potentially selected! Once we select the winner, we will say their name on the stream and you MUST contact us at ThinkMediaSupport.com to claim your prize.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY?

All giveaways are only available to residents of the United States. If you are not a United States resident and we select you as a winner, we will replace your prize with a digital alternative prize of greater value. Some prizes are available to non-US residents.

IF I WIN A GIVEAWAY, WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PRIZE?

We do our best to get you your prizes as soon as possible! Giveaways will be processed the week of May 12th. Products may be sent directly by the brands if you are in the United States, so we cannot give you a specific delivery date ahead of time. International winners will be granted a digital prize of equal or greater value within a short period after contacting us.

WILL ALL MY QUESTIONS BE ANSWERED?

We are working very hard to answer as many questions as we can. VIP gets front of the line to get your questions answered but we still cannot guarantee we will answer every single question.

GENERAL FAQS

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR OTHER COURSES AND FREE EVENTS.

For more information, you can reach out to our team at www.ThinkMediaSupport.com.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YOUTUBE, TECH, & EDITING.

EMAIL FAQS

I'M NOT GETTING ALL OF YOUR EMAILS. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

The best way to ensure you'll get all emails from us is to add our hello@thinkmedia.com email to your "Safe Senders" list or your contact list. You can learn to do this for your specific email platform by Googling your email program.

You may find us in your Spam tab or your "Promotions" tab. Make sure to mark us as "not spam" or as a "safe sender"

Here are the steps in troubleshooting email deliverability issues:

  • Search your Spam folder for "Sean Cannell," "Think Media," and "Circle". Then mark our emails as "safe sender" or "not spam"
  • Have you unsubscribed from our emails in the past? If so, you'll need to contact our team and ask them to re-subscribe you to emails. Do so by contacting us at www.ThinkMediaSupport.com.
WHY AM I RECEIVING EMAILS PROMOTING A PRODUCT I ALREADY OWN?
The most common reason this happens is because you're using two different emails on our platform. You may have signed up for emails with one email address but purchased the course with a separate email. If you contact our team at www.ThinkMediaSupport.com they should be able to help solve this.
WHY DO YOU SEND AS MANY EMAILS AS YOU DO?

We truly want every email we send to be something that benefits our community. So we share news, videos, products, tips, and resources we think will help you. We know that not every email will be useful for each community member, but we have no way of knowing what each individual person may need at a given time.

So, we choose to send you as many awesome resources as we can each week. You may get an email that didn't matter to you, but someone else in the community really needed it.

So we just ask that you delete whichever emails don't pertain to you, and keep the ones that do! This self-ownership allows us to make sure the information can get to whoever in our community needs it.
