Any thoughts on how to accelerate my growth?

[LuiC]

I run a channel for an animal shelter (since mid-July 2015). I'm a volunteer there and I'm doing this without anyone else's help from the shelter. I am growing at about 1 sub a day and I get views as long as I promote. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can accelerate my growth? I've been trying lots of things suggested here (better SEO, artwork, promotion, quality videos) but I feel like I'm not sure where to go next.

I'm thinking of making more videos besides the one I do each week. However, with all the promotion and SEO work plus all the other non-YouTube stuff I have to do for the shelter, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it up. I also wonder if I'm just another impatient YouTube newbie who expects amazing things to happen in a short period of time.

Thanks for any advice or input.

Slow and steady wins the race, and still does.

Hearing those kinds of stories is what motivates many pet adoptions in the first place, so it'd be a cool thing to have on your channel!

Thanks for taking the time to respond and for adopting. I like your ideas and would like to implement them. I need to step outside my comfort zone to be more of an interviewer so it's going to be a bit tough for me at first. I'll only get better if a take the first step to start.[DOUBLEPOST=1457051063,1457050959][/DOUBLEPOST]

True! My husband's favorite saying in these types of situations is "It's a marathon not a sprint."
