Plenty of views but no likes or comments.

[Rochie]

Hello I'm just wondering it it's normal to get plenty of views without any likes or comments etc. I've had 3 videos with over 200+ Views but nothing back in terms of comments, likes r subs.

Perfectly normal.
It depends on the video, and if the viewers find you interesting enough to give a like or leave a comment.

Guess I need to be more entertaining.

Depends on content and how easy you make it for them to find something to comment about, they have to want to comment it in the first place

Good point maybe it's a lack of engagement with the audience.

I was going to say that a lot of the times you need a call to action. Tell them to comment at the end or start of the video. People will just mind their own business and go watch another video, but if reminded, they sometimes will comment. Same thing with subscribing and liking.

I've only just started getting comments back from my subscribers. It is an awesome feeling. Just asking questions to the people watching your videos like, "what do you guys think about.." etc

In terms of subs, it depends on a couple things:

1) Where are your views coming from?

2) How is your audience retention?

I ask those because it's possible that the people viewing your videos aren't the ones who would normally subscribe to that type of content. As for audience retention, if the 200+ people who are viewing each video are only watching a very small percentage of the video, it could be a sign that your content isn't good enough to capture people's attention, in which case you'd need to do some work on the videos themselves. That way your view to subscriber ratio can be higher.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, I am sort of in the same boat with my channel.
