Hello everybody,
I am thankful this community exists.
I'd like to help others though right now I need to help too!
I have been a YT user for almost a decade and posted videos of songs (more covers than originals but getting there
.
I am a singer and play the guitar. I write tons of songs and produce with some entry level but quality equipment. (I lately have purchased Final Cut, I record with Logic and a Focusrite interface and use a Canon to film).
I have generally always kept up with the trends though not been consistent with video posts (sometimes I didn't post for months).
A year and half or so ago, I received a mail from YT saying if I did not reach double the subscribers and double the views within a month my profile would have been turned into a user account and not a creative one (I guess this meant no commercial, no monetization though I still have the monetization option on my profile).
I used to get at least thousands of views per video (in one I reached over 160 k). Since this message, I can barely make 300 views per video.
I have kept going and recently made a very elaborate version of a song from a new TV series.
However, I am struggling to keep my creative activity going. I mostly do it for myself but would like to have a little bit of recognition - e.g. see my video amongst the hundreds of others' covers in the first page of search when I search for "(song) (cover)"
Did anybody have this problem with YT?
Does anybody have a solution? I try to post anywhere but it brings little visibility.
Sorry if something reads odd, I am from Italy.
Thanks to anyone who will answer.
