So I've been working away hard at my channel since it began in August 2013, 4 and a half years ago. However it only has 223 subscribers and 11k views after so long. To make things worse most/all my subscribers are inactive.
Now the main issue is that the videos themselves don't get views, and on the rare ocassion that they do, they don't produce any further growth. In fact, I recently uploaded a video that got 100 views, an insane amount for my channel. However it didn't earn me any subscribers. In fact since uploading it I lost 2. Is it just because of something being wrong with my SEO? Or is there some bigger problem on why my videos don't get views? I even promote everywhere I can, however no promotion actually does anything.
This is all extra confusing when taking into account the start of my channel. The start was pretty decent, with most of my videos getting around 50-80 views each, with a few getting around 200, and one even got 320 views, the most views any of my videos got so far. I didn't even know what tags were at the time, yet my videos were still getting around 50-80 views. And I only had 45 subscribers at the time as well. When I started adding tags, the views stayed around the same.
And now more recently, my most popular series, my Pokemon TCG openings, also dropped down in views. They used to have this huge spike in views within the first 30 minutes since my first Pokemon TCG opening, however overtime that spike became much smaller, and the videos get way less views afterwards also. Pokemon TCG openings also have more competition that most of my other content, yet it still gets the most views. So maybe there's a problem in that? Should I be aiming more at higher popularity, higher competition content?
