Just keep uploading vids consistently. I was around the same place with my old channel (and then work and school got in the way). After I stopped uploading consistently, my views and subs dropped off per video substantially. So, don't get discouraged and keep going!

so i feel like the problem is the length of my videos, i appreciate

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.

I agree with what you said except the 2-4 years 2-3k subs thing, there is no TOP YouTuber now that has ever had that low amount in 2-4 years. NEVER lol like literally NEVER. Mark has only been here for 3 years and has 15 million subs. In his first year he had over 100k already. Jack had at least 20-40k subs in the first 8 months. Everyone whos big now never had that low of a sub count not even in 1 year. It's only very very hard to make it now because of the mass amount of people who are trying to do Gaming now, it is completely saturated - people can still make it but it'll just be a lot harder than it was before.[DOUBLEPOST=1480116519,1480116405][/DOUBLEPOST]

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?

2 subs a video isn't too bad! Just keep going and keep trying to better yourself. I been on YouTube for 5 months as well so we're on the same boat man. Also one thing I have to point out is your thumbnails are hard to look at, all those different colors may "pop out" but that many colors, coupled with the borders is very hard on the eyes.

Not true. From November 12th 2012 (1st vid) (If you really wanted to be precise could say November 29th 2012 when he officially started posting relatively daily gaming) to August 7th 2013 Jack received 1500 subs, 1511 to be precise, cause he made a video about it. Now I'm not mathematical genius but even in peasant counting that's roughly over 8 months... 1 month after that he had 2000 subs. Which is quite good growth, people started noticing him more. Between Sep 9th and Sep 20th he had some solid growth again jumping close to 5k subs, at that point he won the pewdiepie shoutout and got another 5k within a week going into early October. 10k subs and this was 10 months after he started. So the 20-40k example in 8 months was quite.... a bit overinflated.

Early Oct - Oct 14th = 13k subs, so 3k in 2 weeks.
Oct 14th - Nov 5th = 15k subs, so 2k in a bit over 2 weeks.
(So much for getting 5 mil subs just cos pewdiepies shouts you out but people still begging him for it nonstop lols)

Nov 5th - Nov 29th = 20k subs, so 5k in 3 weeks...

20k subs in 1 year's time at this point. So my point is already pretty proven. But I'm a butt so I'll keep going.

From the 29th of November to December 17th he got another 5k putting him at 25k.

and I'll just jump to 40k now, which he got on January 14th 2014.

For those of you that I lost somewhere, between November 12th/29th 2012 and January 14th 2014, he got 40k subs. In 2014 his channel boomed and from then until August 20th 2014 he got to 1mil subs.

So almost 2 years to get that first mil, and now he's over 13mil in another 2 years more or less.

Dates may be off a bit between him posting a video and it actually happening, but yeah. Those are the calculations of his subs as anally as possible.

You proved yourself wrong lol 20k subs in 1 years time yet you still state that "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." You still haven't said anything about Mark or anyone else, all you've done is proven yourself wrong with 1 huge YouTuber....--- waiting for your explanation of 2-3k in 2-4 years. It's good that I forced you to do some research though, because if you did research before actually saying it, you'd know there is 0 BigTubers that have ever held 2-4k subs in 2-4 years.


What's also funny is you talking about being anal but present wrong information, if you really want to drop the mic, show me proof that a "MOST of the top tubers held 2-3k" within 2-4 years. How exactly is your "point proven" when you have 0 back up for anything you've said?

Not really you claimed quite confidently he had 20-40k in 8 months. I might've overreached with the 2-4 years, but nonetheless don't make you right.
I don't have the time to go through every tuber to find their depressing beginnings just to prove you wrong... you can just go through the internet archives. Back when leafy was a depressing minecraft tuber, how pewdiepie jumped from 1mil to 49 mil within some 4 years. And much much more. RiceGum in 2013 had 2k subs, Scarce had 2k subs all big f*****g tubers now with millions of subs.

Mark getting 100k in a year isn't even surprising, he did dozens and dozens and dozens of horror game videos back then and that s**t was gold tbh. Some of his best content, that isn't the story for everyone however.

Every big YouTuber has had 2k subs of course? once in their channel-time career, but no one has ever had 2-4k within the first 2-4 years - what does PewDiePie having 1 million to 49 million have anything to do with you stating that most big YouTubers held 2-4k within 2-4 years, 20k-40k subs in 8 months is still very accurate if you compare it to you saying "MOST top youtubers" having 2-4k within 2-4 years. What does RiceGum having 2k subs in 2013 have to do with how much he has now? You are telling me RiceGum had 2-4k subs in his first 2 years of YouTubing? Which is false and which proves again that NO TOP YouTuber has ever held 2-4k subs in their 2-4th year on YouTube...so....right now.....yeah.

It isn't even accurate to say 2-3 years, it isn't even accurate to say 1-2 years. MOST YouTubers have had 10k and over within their first year and blown up afterwards is more of an accurate saying while VERY few has had less than 10k within their first year.

And don't bull s**t man, if you are presenting false information on here and then proving yourself wrong once again by going through all that information of Jack just to tell me that Jack had 20k in his first year which goes against your 2-3k in 2-4 years, then all of a sudden being too lazy go through other Big YouTubers channels. If MOST had that much in 2-4, let's just say 2-3 years you would have no problem finding someone like that. You basically treated yourself at the end while trying to prove me wrong.

thats actually really intresting that u said that. U are a wise person XD what u said kinda opened my eyes to what is going on... doing gaming is oversaturated and thats a fact. If i wanna get big imma have to do alot of other stuff other than gaming! thank u so much for the insight

 

[iMSaiyan]

No problem man - you def. need to think out of the box or do things that people have not done yet. Like "SECRET ROOM FOUND IN OUTLAST?" I mean, if there really is one - you need to show people things inside games that Big Youtubers would not normally do, Big YouTubers usually just go through the game like whatever and don't really bother to find "easter eggs" of the game. If you can do that then you'll drive more traffic to you. Also do whatever you think is fun because you may be doing this for years so you gotta love it
