Hey guys! I got pretty lucky and got to 100 within 5 days and it's been 9 days and I'm at 294 subs with 6,695 views! I'm pretty happy about that. I also started a new Instagram to go with my YouTube account and I've gained 140 followers in the last week.
My only gripe is that I'm not hitting my target demographic. I'm trying to do fitness/lifestyle/beauty so as a female, I'm struggling to reach the women I want to reach and instead am reaching pervy males who like my reviews on leggings and leave disgusting comments (one of them got 6k views in less than a week). I understand it's something that all female youtubers pretty much deal with and I do have a decent amount of comments from women who found my videos pretty useful, but I'm looking at my analytics and it's 86% male and 14% female lol. My Instagram demographic is better, my followers are 65% women and 35% men, and I'm getting solid interaction with females as well (but lots of comments from guys and attempts to slide in my DMs lol).
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to reach a female audience? I am going to try to be more active in the female fitness community and leave more comments on other's videos, but I'm disgusted with alot of the comments I get and have to filter through them. I swear it's not something I'm aiming for, but it just happens with girls who post workout videos or clothing hauls/reviews.
