Is this normal?

So recently I've been putting in hours of work almost every day on my channel, making sure my content quality is good and all that jazz. I have over 5000 total views, but only 150 subscribers. I get one or two subs a week. So basically what I'm wondering is: Why do I have so many more views than subs, and how can I make sure my viewers sub?
 
Well your channel link does not currently work so I can't check your channel to give you a better answer...but my best guess is that you are not telling your subscribers at the beginning nor end of your video to subscribe. Just as a reminder, not begging them to do so.

But it's also possible of people just watching other videos to see what's recommended to them and not subscribing. A lot of people...including myself tend to do that when on Youtube.
 
When an amount of people watch your video, I assume that some of them are already your own subscribers, and that most people don't subscribe to a lot of Youtube channels. They just sub to the big ones they watch everyday. So I'd say it's pretty normal
 
150 subs for 5000 views sounds pretty good to me. If you continue at this rate you will have 150,000 subscribers by the time you reach 5,000,000 views. To put this in perspective, my channel has just over 4,000,000 total views and 22,000 subs....so you are on track to exceed my performance considerably!

Thanks for telling me my link didn't work, just fixed it! Appreciate the tips.
 
No it’s pretty normal, if you look at really big YouTubers their view count is more than their subscribers. If you have more subscribers than viewers I would start to worry that those subs are bots or their not watching. Not everyone who watches your videos are going to subscribe and your same subscribers eill count as viewes when they watch your videos.
 
You can't make people subscribe. Early on it is only those that A: Feel sorry for you or B: are genuinely interested in you that subscribe. When you start hitting big numbers people start subscribing to be part of the crew. That is how 1 million sub channels only hit 100K views on a video at times. Idle subscribers. But, even with 100K views a video you are doing extremely well IMHO. I only have a few in that echelon and they are years old. I have never had one run away and hit 100K. I have had ones that added 20K in 2 months, those I call out of the norm. If a video does 1K views in the first week I deem it a success. Under and it under-performed. Unless it is a vlog type video. Those never do good. And that is part of the reason why I stopped doing them.
