Feeling Discouraged =/

I love making videos and I enjoy meeting new people through YouTube. Lately though I've found it hard to enjoy the process of making videos. I feel like my channel is growing slowly and that people are only really watching my videos so I'll watch theirs. I know that people don't flock to your channel overnight, but I promote the crap out of my channel. Plus I've been on YouTube for almost three years now, and I've only reached 458 subscribers. Most people reach that point after only a year or so.

I just need to hear some encouraging words from people who have felt like this before. Or people who haven't. I just feel really discouraged.

i love your videos and think your doing a great job at it so just keep it up and dont feel discouraged about doing something you love!
 
Audience is totally a fickle thing. I think the best thing against this is to seek out other YouTubers and join with them to make collaborative videos, to trade audiences, as well as core projects. Channels will grow slowly normally; but that can change overnight. Popularity is all about interest and eyeballs.

My channel has always grown slowly. Right now I don't have time to keep up with where I wanted it at, so I cut back a little.

I guess part of making videos is loving it, thick and thin. To keep up the momentum it's best to keep in the community, keep talking to people, and draw them with you if you can. Other audience will come of their own accord, it just about getting them to notice you're there.

(Oh yeah, and get your videos to show up in Highlights instead of Everything Else. I swear, I miss a lot of people's stuff because of that.)
