You now have another follower! We are getting there! lolI subbed, but can't give you any direction (blind leading the blind and all that).
Hopefully with 4x the subs, YOU can give ME tips

Hey John, there are lots of threads with tips on this within the forum, def worth having a search through them!I just don't understand enough to be able to drive more traffic to my channel - my sub count is holding steady for the last week or so.

I have found that my vids will do OK during the week, but views pick up dramatically over the weekend. Maybe a bunch of people were searching for your recent vids on the weekend?I went with when gets me the most views and found a Thursday was best for my content on a single video a week schedule, and Sunday morning as well if uploading 2 videos. I try and have them go up early in the day to catch people at breakfast time, but sometimes that is hard due to work.
Weirdly, some videos do nothing for a couple of days and then go mad on views like my most recent video... it was sitting at #10 on my analytics for Thursday and Friday, then Saturday morning it took off and is now #1 which is kinda cool.... no idea why the views went mental on it... but similar happened with a Moto Guzzi video I posted too recently.
Absolutely - That's a must! That, and well, talking about stuff that's searchable in a vlog LOL.maybe work on your tags and descriptions and titles to get them more search friendly?
Man, I haven't posted any goals in this thread for three years, not since back during my first year of motovlogging!I'm currently at 491 subs so I should hit 500 by Christmas too!
My goal for the next few months is simply to get through winter while still uploading one new video every week. I have a large backlog of motovlogs filmed already and I have a spreadsheet with their release dates all planned out, so theoretically I should be able to go until next April without filming any new motovlogs at all!
Sometimes when I go to edit a motovlog together I'm not happy with the footage I have or how it pans out and I end up scrapping it altogether. If that happens too many times this winter I might need to film some cold weather motovlogs to fill in the gaps.
It will be interesting to see how my first winter with a motovlog channel goes!
Those are all good things to strive for. I agree about the begging, especially at the beginning of the video. I usually mention hitting the Like button somewhere in the video, generally after I've said or done something funny or given some value to the viewer... and that's about it. If I mention subscribing, it's usually to tick off a friend of mine who is a motovlogger and likes to make fun of people who do that whole like/comment/share/subscribe thing. It brings me a laugh to "have a beef" with him... especially 'cause we're friends.I'm going to continue to ignore every Youtube "how to" suggestion and just get down to making videos I like. If it makes sense to me, I'm doing that. My end goal is a slow increase of subscribers who really enjoy what I'm doing and want interaction.
I see this drive towards high sub number. In videos people waste time telling them to like and subscribe. If you have to tell them to do that, your channel may not be for them? I've unsubscribed from many channels due to so much needy begging in the video. I want mine to stand up on it's own merit.
Of course to reach my goal, I need to improve my content and make it worthy of interaction. If I can't have fun with that process, I'll find something else to do or put the channel into a different angle of attack.
Yeah I hate the whole sub, like, comment thing too. I did it in one of my videos, but watching it back I cringed and won’t be doing it again if it can be helped.I'm going to continue to ignore every Youtube "how to" suggestion and just get down to making videos I like.
