400 Subs after 12 years! I'm on fire!

[GeoMFilms]

After 12 years and countless hours of working on my video edits/redub stories I have reached 400 subs! At this rate by the time I retire and become a senior citizen I might get 1000 subs! hahaha


If your wondering my page is a mixture of many movies such as Jaws, Batman v Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, Rocky, etc...where i'll take the movie and make a new unique story but with humor with means of voice over. I put a lot of time and effort in my videos. Even have to create sound effects at times to make the clips seem like they were originally made that way.

I've even made 2 Star Wars action figure movies that were over and hour each. Both took me over 3 years to make. So like I said a lot of effort goes into these videos.

Wish I had more followers...not sure what secret sauce is, but every so often i'll just make more (only if I am enjoying what I'm doing...once I lose that excitement for my projects i'll call it quits.)


If you get a chance check out my page and let me know what you think. I'm GeoMFilms on youtube.

I think a lot of the problem may be the YouTube Algorithm in your case, I don't want to be that guy that blames it all on the YouTube Algorithm but if you wanna look at it in sense of the Algorithm then there are a lot of red flags short videos, inconsistent upload schedule (You took a 4 year break at one point and even for most of the past 11 years you have only been uploading a couple times a year although has increased recently). If you are looking for short term gain then the best way to do it would be changing your video style and uploading as often as possible without sacrificing too much quality and still making the videos that take you hours but not having them be the main theme of your channel.

In my overall opinion at this point in your channels lifespan a re brand or theme change could only benefit you in the long wrong.

Not sure how all that Algorithm stuff works. I try to follow what I guess i'm suppose to do when it comes to tags and nice icons and some other stuff. As far as having consistent video uploads...I don't know...I see pages such as badlipreading which they do redub videos too and their uploads are months apart from each other but they have millioins of subs (of course they do great quality, but just saying) I've tried doing short videos (3-5min) medium videos (around 10min) and even long (20-30min) videos.

When I first started uploading videos my videos were getting great amount of clicks..but youtube was a lot newer...not as many videos online. But back then I didn't give it much thought about subs or clicks. Some of my videos would reach over 100k clicks and one almost 400k. But after the 4 year gab is when I wanted to try to do more videos and more consistent.

As time goes by getting clicks is harder and harder. At first i'd just upload and that's it....it wouldn't try to share through any social media or reddit or anything. Now when I upload I can spend a couple hours going through facebook/twitter/reddit/google plus/forums/etc....and barely get clicks. YouTube is so filled with videos its hard to get traffic or 'random clicks' Sucks because I believe i'm putting good content out there, but so difficult to get traffic....self sustaining traffic that builds up over time naturally.

Anyways the way my job is this whole summer i'll be busy....so i'll barely be uploading anything probably the next 6 months. Winters I can go at it, but with so much lack of clicks/subs its very discouraging putting all that effort and barely getting results.


Like you said if anything I think i'm just gonna do short like 2-5min clips/redubs for awhile. doing the longer 20-30min videos don't seem to be panning out (even though I enjoy making them)
