I started building my channel in Fall of 2018. By December I had over 700 subscribers. Unfortunately, due to a mental health issue, I had to take a break from YouTube and was inactive for 6 months.
During that time I lost a couple subs, but mostly gained. I was even invited to become a verified YT partner, which I am now.
Yesterday, I posted my first video in 6 months. I was feeling confident as it was a highly requested video and I had been receiving a lot of support from subs when it comes to uploading again.
However, I've lost like 6 subs overnight.
I knew this would happen. It's inevitable that people who forgot they subbed will unsub or people decide that they don't really want to see your content.
However, I've been so nervous about starting up my channel again and I've put so much time into creating and editing new content that this step backwards is...disheartening.
Like I said, I know it's the nature of the beast and I'm not going to quit because of it, but how can I stay motivated when I feel like my channel is moving backwards instead of forwards.
Any advice would be appreciated.
