I've Got It
so ive been doing youtube for about 5 months. Ive gotten some substantial growth but im feeling discouraged of the fact that im not getting alot of traffic on my channel. I try my best to advertise it so idk what im doing wrong. I get maybe 2 subs a video but I think my content is actually really well done I just dont know what im doing wrong can someone help? am i doing something wrong? or am I not doing enough?
 
YouTube is weird like that...a slow motion 4k video at 120fps of a man saving a child from a collapsing building will get less views than a shaky, 144p video of a bunch of goats on a metal sheet. Quality does not guarantee hits, but the well produced videos will get a steady growth so keep at it and do your best despite the fact that it seems to be more up to chance than effort at times.

I've moved this to the reviews / channel feedback forum because it is channel-specific. ^^

Just checked you out and subbed! You've got a cool channel. One of the reasons for a lack of growth could be incredibly long videos. I'm not sure if that is the reason, but try making a few shorter videos just as an experiment. You might want to look into getting a new mic as well, or at least try to insulate your room for a crisper sound. Once again, your content is really cool.
 
I already commented on your other thread about your video, if you let things discourage you then tbh this platform isn't good for you. It's a slow journey, 2 subs a video that's great. I've got 23 vids and 8 subs currently, you don't see me down in the gutter about it. Most of the top tubers had a mere 2-3k subs in their first 2-4 years, so what do we have to complain about. It'd be nice getting 1k or 10k or 100k in our first month of content, but it ain't realistic.

Just work hard, don't worry about the numbers, put out content consistently and keep on upgrading yourself and your editing and your content quality and in time you will get a following.
 
Okay, honest thoughts. It was a bit boring for me altough seemed like a fun idea. It's just that it doesn't need to be 17 minutes long. Some jumpcuts go a long way, especially the start, that needs to be extra strong, like bam, straight into the face. First 15 seconds matter the most but you probably already know that. Video quality was better than most I'd say and there is potential, it just should be quicker for my standards.
 
Having long videos and trying to get subs may not be the best because people have the intention span of a gold fish.
