So I have been doing Youtube for about a month or so hard to remember. I have been trying my hardest by getting subscribers but lately I have been getting no subscribers and people are not watching my videos fully. Now what I'm asking is if someone can look at my channel "Dogmanowen" and let me know what I can do to start gaining those loyal fans that love to watch my videos. I hope someone out there can help me.:eeks:
 
The general advice I can give is to do what you enjoy (or play games you enjoy in this case), be yourself, advertise and stay consistent. All of those things are equally important. More specific to you, I would start with consistency. You don't have to do a video everyday if its not within your means, but you want to have some kind of release schedule. More videos more frequently mean more subs more frequently. As well, a consistent schedule will help to retain subs, as they are less likely to forget about you. I would also shorten your intro. It comes in at about 12 seconds long and you're going to get A LOT of people clicking away from your video just because of that. When you're a person browsing Youtube and you decide to give someone a chance who is trying to break into the scene, it immediately deters you to have to sit through what is essentially an ad (to the person watching that has never seen anything from you before). Also, as someone who is basically starting a new channel, you'll want to do a lot more one off video games. Even big Youtubers have views go down as a Let's Play series goes on, so as someone with 8 subs, its very unlikely that many people are going to keep up. Lastly, take the ads off of your videos. You have such little views that you are making nothing at all and I can guarantee that just about anyone new to your channel is going to click away the minute an ad comes up. Hope this helps and good luck to you and your channel, sir.
 
Your avatar, banner and thumbnails are the first things people will see when finding you or your videos. People will think your art reflects your content's quality, so if you're finding people just aren't interested or don't stay around, there is always room for improvement in these areas. For your banner, sometimes more simple can be more attractive, and for your thumbnails you might consider some kind of format to follow, rather than something different every time.

Don't use a 14 sec intro. They're nice to have for branding and stuff, but in reality people just don't care. That's 1 more thing between them and being entertained. I wouldn't advise anything over 5 seconds.

Use Audacity to remove the background noise in your voice audio track. It's a free program and super easy to learn how to do noise removal. Sounds like a computer fan maybe?

The description of your video isn't the place to put all caps requests for likes and comments. This is where keyword density will play a factor in people finding your videos and how the YouTube algorithm will rank you in searches. The first few sentences will also appear under your videos title/thumbnail in search menus. Similarly, you should have an "about" description of your channel. This will play a similar role in placing your channel out there, as well as informing people what you're all about.

There's a lot of things you really just learn over time, but for me the best mind set is "do what successful YouTubers do".

What this guy said...honestly, except that you were asking for help and are a part of this community I would have at best skipped ahead (which you never want someone to do at the beginning of your video really) or just abandoned it all together. I may have less patience and attention span than many, but I would have been out of there. Chop it down.

Other than that, I'm not sure if it's just the games that are boring and there isn't a lot to say about them or what, but I found myself skipping ahead an awful lot during your most recent video. Just not enough interesting things happening, which is boring itself, but gets more boring because there isn't a lot you can say about things that aren't interesting in the game. Maybe if you edited it down to a 3-4 min video of some of the funnier moments/things you said, etc you'd be better off.
