Hey guys. i have been on YouTube for a while and one thing that really discourages me and i think is one of the most discouraging things on the site is working so hard on vids and getting only like 12 views max on the video. hence the reason i stopped producing content for a while but now i'm back on the ball, I was just curious if anyone has any advice on how to get more people to notice the hard work that you put into your videos. i know the basics post frequently and what not and i understand that but is there anymore?? All help will be appreciated thanks guys!!!!!!!
 
One way to get noticed is to put your content out there. Don't just post a video and expect people to come flocking towards your channel. Put it on Facebook or Google Plus or some other social media/site related to your content.
Another thing is tags. I'll be honest, I suck at this, but if you properly tag your videos, more people will be able to find it. There are some websites that can help you find good tags to use on your video.

I hope this helps! :)
 
I think if you want to get attention as a YouTuber you need to make some "gateway videos" every now and then.

That means you should figure out a type of video you could make that could be interesting to watch for a wider audience. Something you could possibly share on different subreddits and gain exposure through. You can talk a tiny bit about your other content in your outtro and why people would enjoy it. Just make sure that the gateway video is still somewhat similiar to the other content you like to do, so people are more likely to start watching that as well.

For me as a creator who makes gaming videos I've had ups and downs throughout the years, but many times I've had some periods where I got a lot of exposure through some of my videos. I started looking through relevant subreddits and what people like on those and started making guide videos every now and then to gain some attraction. It's been the best way to grow the channel for me.

A few months ago I played Blade and Soul very actively and started creating content for it. Some of the videos did well on Reddit and I got a massive boost in views and gaining over 5k subscriptions within a month. Two of my videos climbed the ranks in the search algorithm and started gaining lots of views through that as well. And from there on, if people enjoy those videos, they will subscribe and check out your other content too.

Now I know that making videos that attract so many people can be really difficult to make, but I think that's where practice comes in. You just gotta researching and keep trying to make better content and eventually you might get a great video that will go viral. And I can tell you, it feels pretty good to have a video that keeps generating lots of views and keeps growing even after weeks or months.

And don't forget to keep your regular content up. Try to stick to some kind of schedule. Unfortunately I've failed many times in that regard, because of overwhelming negative feelings overcoming me during depressive phases in the past, but I do believe that this is the best way to go about things if you really want to grow your channel.

Personally I've only got experience with gaming related content, but I hope this was helpful to you regardless.

Thank you really helpful advice
 
I wish there was a formula to answer that question buddy! I can give you a Lp point of view: I started in february and I managed to reach the point where I am now and some will say that it's good, while others grew up much more.
I think that you need to work always harder, try to improve everything you can (audio/video quality, SEO aka title description and tags, social media presence).
I still struggle with the SEO aspect, because even with the researches I do my videos aren't so visible but I think it's also the country where I upload that can influence the visibility.
In the end it's a matter of keeping grinding and trying to improve.
 
What I've done to really get my channel out there is just joining forums such as YTtalk. I noticed that ever since I joined this forum, my views have gone up significantly.
