Many subscribers but not many views?

Hi,

I have 31k subscribers and videos with 6 million views, but my regular uploads only get hundreds of views for some reason, where other people with this many subscribers typically get tens of thousands per video.

Any ideas why?

Here is my channel: youtube.com/user/alphawhiskeysix
 
Your most popular videos are all tutorials on how to be a cop in GTA.
People watch it, then subscribe, but then they have no reason to come back because they have already gotten the trick to being a cop in GTA.
If they can play it themselves, why would they watch you play it?

Perhaps you should try other content? Or you could focus on more tutorials.
 
I agree with doing the tutorial thing. I am always looking to YouTube for tutorials it's a really good route to go.

Tutorials are great because they generate consistent search traffic and, if they are fortunate enough to get suggested video placement, can generate that kind of traffic too. Tutorial videos are the gifts that keep on giving.

People look at my popular videos and will say things like 'well that's just because you had boobs in the thumbnail (they were relevant boobs mind you...not misleading in any way) and while that is partly true, there are hundreds of thousands of videos with boobs in the thumbnail that have nowhere near 44 million views. The reason mine does is because of the thumbnail and title combination. The video is a tutorial...people love tutorials. They want to learn things...they are constantly searching for things that will help them learn. If they see something on the side of the screen that says 'how to' it draws their eyes to it.

I have a channel that I uploaded 4 videos too...all tutorials. I've done nothing since. I have something like 100k views and 400 subs on that channel and I haven't even tried to develop it at all. Tutorials are indeed the way to go.[DOUBLEPOST=1438459787,1438459688][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, before my 'how to see through clothing' series, I had Wii Bowling tutorials on this channel (my channel name is the inversion of the pro bowler 'Walter Ray Williams' as nerdy as that sounds lol. How to throw a hook in wii bowling...how to bowl 300, etc. These videos had tens of thousands of views, some of them had over 100k. Tutorials....easiest way to get views on Youtube. Evergreen content as well.
 
Just an idea - if the other youtubers with same amount of subscribers as yours gets much more video views it doesn't nessesarily mean most of their viewers are subscribers. etc. i personally have 50k+ subscribers on one of my channels and i recently checked the percentage of subscribers vs non-subscribers and was pretty much surprised: only 1% of the visits on my vids comes from subscribers and 99% from non-subscribers. in my case i just stopped to care about subscribers count as it has no use at all, at least in my case.

Exactly, that's why his regular uploads pale in comparison.
