I wouldn't let it get you down Nikki, the early stages are the most painful as I'm experiencing now (Only been going a month), but as long as you keep uploading consistent content people will come, and Sjojo said about telling their sister, and their sister's friends, publicising your channel certainly helps. I for one for a dedicated twitter account and Facebook page which I invited all my friends to follow, and then overtime you upload you post on your other social media that a new video is up (with a link) and people will go watch it!
As far as one video having 2k+ views, some videos really make a hit on youtube and it can be completely random. But if that's what you want more often then find topics people search for a lot (setup videos are all I can think of off the top of my head), and with views comes subs!
It took my channel months before I even got 100 subscribers. I think it's best to try and focus on constantly improving your videos, and people will eventually find your channel.
Good luck with your channel Nikki, my sister will maybe be interested in you aswell as her friends, I'll make sure I tell them

But yeah i guess its all just more patience & perhaps more towards luck than anything!
