It took years, not weeks, YEARS for the majority of the top YouTube channels to get where they are. If you're not willing to put in that kind of time and are not happy with constant little growth, then perhaps YouTube isn't for you.
As far as answers- the first and most obvious is to watch your language and learn when it is and isn't appropriate as I can guarantee that it's a huge hindrance on you now. Many people don't care to hear or read curse words and, more importantly, YouTube doesn't.
Watch some of the largest channels and you'll see many of them bleep out certain words...and none of them are silly enough to put any in the title or description. That's just asking to be buried by YouTube.
Next, take a closer look at your content. You say it's not the problem, but, unless it has 100% viewer retention, it can be improved. Study each of your videos on Analytics- see where people turn your video off and use that to figure out why they do. Or, if there's a spot that's watched numerous times, see figure out what they liked so much and work with that.
From there, fix your tags and descriptions and keep them relevant to the video they're supposed to push.
Looking at your most popular video... nobody is going to search for "snake attack caught on tape" expecting to find your video, yet you listed the word "snake" in the tags 8 times, 11 in the description. While some may watch it out of curiosity, tactics like that will only hurt you in the long run... especially since you'll likely never garner enough of an audience to be ranked under those keywords - but could actually have a chance with honesty in your own field.
Try to adhere to more of a schedule when posting instead of the seemingly haphazard style they seem to be going up now. If you're going to post a new video weekly, make it on the same day or days if you're going to post more than one.
Invite viewers to comment, subscribe, or even come up with topics for you to cover and respond or even shout out to them. By making them feel loved, they'll be more likely to share your work to their friends.
Lastly, enthusiasm is a great thing and you absolutely need to harness it to push you further. I'm not trying to dissuade you, so please don't take any of this as a negative... just realize that becoming successful on YouTube is a marathon, not a sprint.
I swear. The world swears. It's who I am, so neccesarily, I can't change it. Dumb it down? Yes, it is possible, maybe refrain from the "b" word because women find it disrespectful, whatever. How can I say my content is the problem when I have a 70-80% average retention time and a nearly 15:1 like to dislike ratio? I'm talking exposure.
Kain carter, @hotdamnirock,my idol, swears in all of his videos... cmon. Most people swear, it's that simple. I am not a family friendly account, I am a 16-25 account, where over 40% of the current market is at. 90% of my views come from 16-34 years old (per. personal YouTube analytics).
The people reviewing my content are not answering my question of
how I can gain more exposure, instead, they are getting a
general opinion on my content and are telling me what is holding me back from progression,
in their own eyes.
Regarding my snake "b***ches" video, nobody is going to search for that, but I did not make a video with a viral title. I did not do Donald Trump, I do not make videos on trending topics. I make content based on stuff I want to speak on, because, if I have
no interest in speaking on it, then how could I make a good video? It's my channel, I speak about my life stories that relate mostly to people ages 16-25.
Enthusiasm? Who's enthusiastic about spending days thinking of ideas, hours of editing and rendering and hours of advertising and promotion just to get the same, sub-par result? My results are far below average, and just because other YouTuber's results are below average, it makes mine look decent. 10 weeks of work I should have at least 1,000 subscribers at the very least, but I'm nowhere near. That's "good" growth, not mine.
I would have that amazing growth if I knew how to get exponential exposure, whether I had to pay or not... That is my question which only few have answered. Will an MCN get your exposure?
Try to adhere to a schedule? It says in my banner "New Video Every Monday & Thursday"...
In my Outro, at the top, it says new video's every Monday & Thursdays...
On my INSTAGRAM, it says New Videos Every Monday & Thursdays... what are you missing?
I have uploaded twice a week for the last 6 weeks, but I deleted the videos that did not perform well.
Thank your for your review, but if you could answer the question on how I could gain more
exposure, whether it's through an MCN or not, that would be much more beneficial.
