Could be making vs. could make

From the Internet:

I want to shed some light on the common mistakes you could be making when connecting to & strengthening your intuition that will leave you frustrated.

My question is the following:

Would the meaning of the sentence have changed had the reporter written, ".....you could make....."?

Thank you.
