Motivation is basically gone..

Ok this thing will rock your videos
Let a parrot make fun of you
That would be hilarious especially on the fact that you are 6.5
You know I want that height:)
I want to feel how does it feel when people see you as a big tall redwood tree
 
YouTube doesn't seen recent uploads to ALL your subscribers feeds, so not every one of your subs will see it there..

None of your videos show up in my feed, I have to go their manually. It might be the main cause of things. But don't lose motivation dude, I know I'm not exactly big but I can mention you in the next video? I want to try and help as best I can and I don't have a lot of experience with growing a fanbase D:
 
What is you goal?
Mine is views and not subs
I want everyone to see my videos and comment(+ve ones) and engage them with the channel
Well my goals for this year was 50 subscribers and 50,000 views.. but I passed my sub goal by a long shot (something I thought i'd never achieve). My real goal is to have majority of my subscribers to be active. I'd even be happy if I had 20 subscribers and 15+ of them were active.
 
Okay and more thing
Texture in vlogs makes a lot of difference
If you incorporate short 5-8 seconds which are something off the main topic so that they can take a break from the normal timeline
There are lots and lots of ways to add texture
exploding toaster...say did you hear something well anyways then smoke comes and then you say leave it so where was I ....

or move around the room and something funny comes up quickly try to cover it up

or while talking again and again your phone is ringing and you are getting irritated etc etc

Learn from TV shows
and from high end production movies and add texture..TEXTURE IS THE KEY
 
I was going to say do something different. I've been watching your videos for a while now and don't get me wrong, you're cool ;) but I feel like I want to see something... more vibrant. Maybe you running, going shopping, just something else, I don't know. I guess my advice would be to add some dramatic variety to your vlogging themes and change things up a lot. I know it can be hard when you're new around town but experiment around and see where that takes you. Cheers my dear.
Yeah I've been getting that advice a lot haha. It's something that I really need to do. Today I vlogged at the park! (The video isn't uploaded yet). So at least that's outside of the house. I plan on vlogging everywhere I go, no matter what. Even if it's only a little bit, I think it will help me improve. Thanks for the feedback :) Means a lot coming from someone who watches me haha.[DOUBLEPOST=1366179132,1366178989][/DOUBLEPOST]
well it takes a while, i see some people with about 1000 videos who arnt much bigger than you as long as you carry on you will reach a point where your really happy. At first it takes longer and is way harder
Well I'm no where close to giving up, so from this point on i'm going to try and improve my vlogs. Even if it takes me till 1,000 videos to really be happy with my sub/active sub number, I'm not giving up. I don't want to be one of those channels who attempts to do daily vlogs and gives up before reaching that. (I've seen a bunch of channels that has done that). It's my goal to vlog for 365 days, and I'm not stopping till I finish! :)[DOUBLEPOST=1366179198][/DOUBLEPOST]
Ask all those questions in the review forum. You will likely get some good feedback. I will check out your vids, and give you my best advice. Maybe by helping you out I will learn something too LOL

No problem man. Just keep going. You will be fine.
That would be awesome :) Tell me your honest opinions, good or bad. I'm not afraid of bad feedback, as I feel I can grow from it.[DOUBLEPOST=1366179238][/DOUBLEPOST]

Wonder if my videos show up to anyone's feed :/ Because one person who recently commented on one of my videos said that none of my videos were showing up for him either. WTF YouTube :( I feel like they are screwing me over D:

& That would be awesome, but you don't have to. Only if you truly want to :)[DOUBLEPOST=1366179479][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah I have noticed is more interesting. I've tried a couple of times, but i'm never creative at it lol.

I genuinely want to dude, you deserve it a lot more then I do <3
 
you have to be creative otherwise don't have any expectation
keep thinking of ideas that are really unique and amazing
 
So I've been trying to "upgrade" my channel by uploading everything in HD, trying to be more interesting, doing more than just standing in my room (this one hasn't changed a lot, but I think it's slowly improving).

I still seem to gain 1-2 subscribers a day, and about 130+ views a day, but the views on my recent videos are no where near the amount of subscribers I have. I currently have 277 subscribers, but it seems like only 30-50 of them watch my videos. I have pretty much lost all motivation. Why try to put effort into improving my channel if the videos don't seem to improve in views. Now I know not putting the effort won't help my channel, but I feel like i'm putting too much effort for such little outcome. It also doesn't help that I always subconsciously compare my channel to other daily vloggers. I don't know why I do it, as I always tell people not to do it. I just can't help it. I want the fan base those vloggers have. And yet, as my subscriber and view count continues to increase everyday, the amount of active subscribers seems to stay the same. It's like i'm running on a stair climber exercise machine. Sure my channel is growing, but I feel like i'm not going anywhere.

I don't know what to do. I have read countless threads here on how to gain a fan-base, but nothing seems to work. I cannot change when I upload, as I made it my goal to vlog everyday for 365 days, and since i'm 160 days into it, it's to late to quit. I don't want to be a quitter. Somehow I still get about the same amount of views on my videos as I did in the beginning, and yet i'm getting 130+ views a day.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my viewers that are active. They are the coolest group of fans I've ever had. I want to increase that number.

Someone commented on my video saying that they are not seeing my videos in their sub boxes, so could this be the case? I just don't understand :S
I get about 200-400 views usually when I have 800 subs, its what happens. smosh only get around 1/3 of their subs viewing :P
