I see this statement all the time on this forum, "You just got to keep uploading man, come up with a schedule and you'll get there." This is a huge mis-truth that the community seems to have. Sure having a lot of videos helps with the likelihood of you getting noticed because there is more of you out there, but in todays Youtube environment this just isn't enough anymore.
Take it from me. I have 532 subscribers and have been at this stage for the past 2 years. Granted that my channel is also 4 years old. I have over 700 videos, but I'm still not growing and haven't in a very long time. And using social media helps get views, but retention I find drops off from people on social media unlike those on Youtube.
So to continuously tell people with very little subscribers this lie does not help them. The truth is that quality is KING! Make your video the very best possible and then you'll get the subscribers! A lot of videos just gets you views, but not people that want to come back and view again. This is something that I'm learning slowly.
I figured I'd share this with you guys because honestly quantity might only get you your first 100-500 subs. So this includes my channel as well. Even though I upload a lot, my content isn't worth staying around for apparently comparing to other peoples. Individuality is what people are looking for.
Good luck.
I'd love to know your thoughts as well.
