I'm having a hard time understanding YouTube analytics. When I look at what time I subscribers on YouTube it tells me like I guess 0.400 but when I post it doesn't seem like it. I'm hardly getting any views but I have subscribers and I did get them legit and I do have to go on all green as far as the important things tags length, title, overall everything is green I'm not understanding what's going on.
As
@Andrew says, you could be making content that the viewers just arenΓÇÖt interested in, but hereΓÇÖs my one cents:
The Niche:
If you havenΓÇÖt, spend some time watching similar content and see what you can do that they arenΓÇÖt, see if there are gaps that you could fill in, and fill them. I did that when I was starting my channel, and even before too, I make oil painting videos, and when seeing what I can add to the oil painting niche, I found that out of everything I watched and searched, most of the videos that were just showcasing, they were either just time lapses with cheesy music, or narrated, so I thought if IΓÇÖm to just showcase my work, do I do the same? No. I didnΓÇÖt just showcase my already completed paintings, I had each one next to me while talking about it, and sort of made a physical slideshow, in short, instead of hiding behind the camera, I got in front of it and spoke to the viewers as if they were in front of me. The tutorials I make are similar to many other artists, but what I do is add some elements to the video such as a mistakes counter, accompanied by silly sound effects for each, or make little jokes, and even talk about childhood memories associated with the painting.
Positive energy:
When people watch videos, theyΓÇÖre also seeing how the creator performs in the video, and once the viewers can see the creator acting all tired and sloppy, like theyΓÇÖve just done hard overtime, or they appear to lack enthusiasm, or whatever, the viewers will click off, so make sure youΓÇÖre filming with plenty of positive energy on tap, and always show that youΓÇÖre having fun with what youΓÇÖre doing, the viewers will see it and give support.
Nagging and begging:
When you see the numbers are not in your favor, what you must absolutely not do is go around begging for everyone to hit the subscribe button, whether it be around the various platforms, or even constantly mentioning it in your videos, nothing is more off putting than this for viewers and theyΓÇÖll simply avoid you. Just upload and then gnome the numbers, especially at the start.
Titles and thumbnails:
The title entices the viewers to see what your video is about, but your thumbnails are the first thing that pops out and catches the eye, so you want to make sure you have eye catching thumbnails and well laid out titles. There are plenty of forums and literature around these TubeBuddy forums, I recommend clueing yourself up on these.
These are just a guide from my own experience as a new creator, and may not be suitable for all, as we have to create our own flavor to suit our viewers, IΓÇÖm still learning and will be as long as I have a channel. I hope things can get better for your channel, but remember youΓÇÖre in the right place for questions and advice.
