Need Advice Getting views but no subscribers

I'm hoping someone can help me with this, I only have 22 subscribers which I know really not a lot, I know some people don't watch or subscribe to smaller youtubers so I'm not sure how to get my subscribers up.

My videos are getting decent views for the amount of subscribers I do have, all my recent ones have 50+ at the moment but I'm not gaining subscribers from them. Does anyone have any tips on how to change this?

I have an endscreen and a very small watermark on the videos already and at the end for an outro I quickly mention subscribing.

Thanks, I didn't realise that many were needed, at the moment I'm only releasing a video every 1-3 weeks due to the work that goes into it.

Yup, we're in it for the long haul. It takes me about that long to make one of my fishing adventures. I want each video to be like a Jacques Cousteau documentary. That takes time, and I compose all my own music.

You just keep making the videos. You'll find an audience in due time.

I think part of it is you only have a few videos so far. The second part is to work on your thumbnails. On a side note your view count is going up so that's good news :)

I'm new as well but I believe what attracts them the most..

Thanks, to be honest I have really been trying to improve on the art, it's probably very visible after the Thomas Glover video.

I feel like I've improved the character art quite a bit no longer having them all pretty much look the same. I'm far from an artist but I feel like I'm slowly improving on it, I know I need to work on better backgrounds in the video too.

I'll definitely work on the thumbnails too.

I was researching and I realized that small channels should not worry about growth at first. In fact, they should make good videos, do a good SEO on the metadata, create good thumbnails and from what I saw this magical number of uploads can help with time.

Yeah, I think as you get more content then when people come to your channel they will have more videos to watcha and youtube will then push out your content. I have some videos that are over 1k views and have the same frustration, why don't I have more subs. But if I focus on that I think it will be toxic to my own mental health. Set some goals, this many videos by this time then reassess. :)

Uploading to Facebook helps, plus you can make groups for people who share your interests, but avoid asking sub for sub as that goes against YouTube standards.
