As I'm reading complaints from OP I would like to say: please don't complain about subs & views. For my first YT channel I ever got it take 5 YEARS to get 100 subs and 2k views. 5 YEARS, not days, not even months. It took me 5 freaking years (from mid 2008 to mid 2013). Still my maximum of subs was 450 in 1 year on last channel and ~120k views on same channel in 1 year. It isn't for me real success, unless you can get 30k+ views in 4 days after spreading video on Interwebz for video which you didn't even expect to gain that kind of reach (it took 5 months to get that reach in just 4 days).
Be smart and don't run for money and quick success on YouTube, success and money goes slowly in begining but when you get something like I wroted (another example is just one short clip from friend of mine which he made after presidental elections here in Croatia in January - his video got viral in just 2 days... From almost zero up to 20k views. He isn't actually proud for that, he is proud that knows me because I helped him before 3 years when he started on YouTube) then you can say, whoa that is some good channel (or video).
My 2cents here
Thank you for the feedback and I will take everything you've said into consideration. I do YouTube because I have funny messages that brighten people's day and I want whoever is possible to hear it, to hear it and laugh with it. I just want exposure because I believe my content is good, when watched by the correct target audience. I'll def use your tactics to stay motivated.[DOUBLEPOST=1446829863,1446829651][/DOUBLEPOST]
You're very welcome, and you are right about the age bracket too. I am a grandmother of 8 about to be 9. If your video language resembles the language you use (edited) here, this would definitely be one reason the Restricted Class was applied to your videos. YouTube is unfortunately aiming for a family-friendly model and videos with strong language don't fit that, no matter how funny they might be.
I have an idea though! Your setup looks like something which could possibly be taken to a real world live standup comedy club with mature themes. You could try introducing that into your success plan; do live club-based standup, and when you have a following there bring your real time audience along to YouTube.
Does that sound like a plan? If I were younger you would call me a "sistah", as like you I am Afro-American; I just happen to live in England.
I would do it but stand up is EXTRODINARILY hard and you need a LOT of stories, A LOT of composure and A LOT of elaboration because it could take you months worth of jokes for only a 30 minute stretch of time. I will keep it in consideration, I definitely have the charecter for it but you never know. Just gotta keep expirimenting.
