Subs have dwindled to nothing

Had the channel for 2 and half months, had a small period where subs increased but have gone back to virtually nothing in the last week or two, infact I've lost 2. I upload once a week currently which for the type of videos I do it's particularly long, the editing can take me upwards of 10-15 hours.

I've tried various forms of social media but to no avail. I feel like my channel is stagnant in terms of subs but I'm really, really unsure why. 41 subs seems like a really small amount for my time on YouTube and I see most seem to exceed that quite easily in the same time frame.
 
Hey hey velocity! I have a couple different tips on increasing your subscribers! ^-^
One, attempt to utilize the powers of persuasion and give your video a call to action. Putting a subscriber button and asking for a subscription almost always helps and if you can use Logos, Ethos, or Pathos, you can bump up your subscriptions even more!
You could also search to similar channels and attempt sending them a message for a collaboration. This is a much harder process, however slowly it could help you in the long run. A good example is creating a small video with your collaborator and then leaving suspense at the ending of the video, allowing you to send and receive more subscribers.
I'm not exactly a expert with YouTube myself but I really hope these tips helped. :)
Good luck!
 
I think I'm going to start prompting people to sub if they like the content and see if that has any affect. Frustrating as my videos get hundreds of views but rarely subs from them.
 
Yesterday I had 41 subs. Today I have 76. It only took a comment on a pewdiepie video. Hope this helps.[DOUBLEPOST=1486086930,1486086891][/DOUBLEPOST]Woot... 77 now.
 
Man I can't let all of them secrets out like that!
It was about sexual intercourse on someone's rear end....
There are so many ways to stir people up. Some will hate you, others will love you. It got me views, and doubled my sub count overnight. That's all that matters really.

I think the problems that channels like ours have, is there informative. So I've searched on YouTube for game guides, probably more than any other single type of content, but I honestly dont think I've ever subbed a channel on the back of a good guide, no matter how useful it was.

This is just something we have to accept. Even channels doing low quality "Lets Plays" will get more subs in a shorter amount of time. Whilst its twice as hard for an informative channels to edit a video and build a viewer base.

Just dont give up, your channels good and it will grow eventually.

I dunno, I see it as harder in many ways for lets players to get views as they have multiple parts it's hard to distinguish themselves and get people committed to watching long videos. I see a lot of low sub lets players with 10 views per view per video. The advantage I think they do is that they can blitz together a lot of videos very quickly and also very regularly.

Depends though I guess.
 
New video up, over 300 views in less than a day but again no subs from it at all. Genuinely can't work out why considering each video is getting hundreds of views in the first day but getting any actual subs at all seems to be impossible.
 
Check your analytics to see where viewers are leaving, and a few seconds before that, have a subscribe button showing up on video, with a sound effect, so that people notice it.
Voice your concern and your appreciation for subscribers. Your view to subscriber ratio is amazing.
