Subscribers Stuck At 60

Motovlogger
are some channels just too dull for the target audiences to bare (mine) or is motovlogging a younger persons game... or am I not marketing my channel enough?
Should I just be content to enjoy the vlogs myself as a diary?
 
Myself is around 32 after 2.5 months, but I've been promoting my vids quite alot and been alot of social chatting in comments on others after watching =) Thing thats why I've been getting 1-2 each week lately. subs does'nt have to mean high view count tho, thats nice tagging and clever description + title that get lots of hits ;) *subs do help tho :p *
 
Best bit of advice for growing any project is get out there and post your stuff as many places as possible. Websites, forums, etc and step your game up on social media accounts across the board. Market, market, market!

Also comment on other vloggers videos and look for people to collaborate with!
 
Looking at your channel there's a few simple things I can see that might help a little bit, or what seems to help me anyway.

  • Upload regularly. Regular uploads help you keep subscribers when you get them. It's no use gaining a sub one week for another sub to leave because you're not uploading enough. Also the same for doing it to regularly, don't spam people.
  • Thumbnails. Customs thumbnails are extremely important. There's a million motovloggers out there so you need to stand out. Personally, I try to keep a common theme in my thumbnails with text font and colour so people will recognise it's me. Give people a reason to click.
  • Click bait. Click bait sucks but there is an in between area between click bait and a boring title. Be creative with titles so that you turn up in the search function more regularly. 'Ride from A to B' is a boring title but almost always there will be something that happened on that ride that you can market like 'almost dropped my bike' or 'pulled over by the police'. It's only clickbait if it's not true. It's not ideal but that's the YouTube game these days.
  • Branding. Logo, banner, thumbnails etc. Make it all look good, fit a theme and be consistent. It's not just the videos that make people subscribe. Links to FB, instagram and twitter all help as well as subscribe cards in your videos. End cards are brilliant for pushing people who watched one video to your channel, social media or even your previous video.
Not sure if it helps but this is the stuff that I think helped me. Youtube is 90% shit and the rules for success were decided long ago so we kind of have to play to them
