I've been on YouTube for oveer a year now, and during that time my subscriber count has been going up gradually, more than 3 a day. Now I have almost 1,300 subscribers, which may lead some to believe that I'm getting that many views per video. However, that's just not happening. What's going on is that people find my channel, watch it for a little while, then grow bored and stop watching my content.
About 3 months ago I made a vlog saying I was getting around 70 views per video from subscriber modules, and that's still about true today. That doesn't mean that new people aren't coming, just that whenever one does, an old viewer stops. This is fairly evident; go throught he comment sections of your old videos, see who was watching, and think if you've heard from them lately. I've done this, and almost always find old faces who no longer follow me. Normal subscriber growth is ineffective, because as new people follow you, the old ones simply fall off.
This leads me to believe that the only way to truly grow and become successful is to properly manage your online presence; share videos on facebook/twitter/reddit/tumblr, use strong tags to get more views through searches, and hope it goes viral.
There are just random thoughts I've been having. Any thoughts on this?
