Before I start my rant or whatever you called it. I just want to let you know that I have multiple channels that is partnered with Freedom. I been doing Youtube around 2010 or 2011 seriously and now it's 2016 I am no where near to the point I want to be.
So for a couple of years, I had stop caring if I get views or comment in my video. I will just upload videos of the games that I enjoy playing. Basically a "Let's Play" sort of thing. But start this year 2016, things have changed. I now again started caring if I get views or comments in my video.
Before someone reading this thread will post and says, why not promote your videos in social medias, like twitter,reddit and etc. Well, I already did that and done that. Remember when I said, I already have multiple channels that are partnered with Freedom? I tested everything that Freedom Tips said, that a Youtuber needs to do to grow in Youtube and get followers.
Like @Nolan Westmore posting your videos in social media like reddit and stuff will only get you empty views.
For example, in my Diablo 2 lets play collab with AtomMagik. I posted our collab video in diablo fan site, it gets views alright but at the same time tons of thumbs down. And ZERO comments!!
And before someone will say, well your commentary needs more emotion to it like @CherryBlue said to me once in chat. Well that is how I talked in real life and I cannot changed it. And like @Anthony Smith said, make a persona and try to practice it. I did try and how many videos do you think I already made? Maybe around 2k+ or more? Do you think its not enough practice and not get it right?
Another thing, if you will mention about TAGS and Description I have thousand of videos. With the different types of Tagging and Description Layouts. Still it did not helped me at all, sure few months or few years later my older videos gets a lot of views and decent comment. But after that, those people who subscribe or comments never heard ever again.
Before someone says "Oh, maybe your not interacting to your viewers". In most occasion, I talked to my audience asking them what do they want to see, my opinions on current events and etc. But you know what, ZERO reaction. Also, I always watch a video of the people I subscribe to from start to end. And even leaving a comment about their video. And because of it, I became friends with them. Some even subscribe to my channel, but never left a comment. And sometimes watches my video once in a blue moon. Even though, I watch their content everyday and leave a comment.
Even a friend of mine, who promise to watch every video I make in this "Takamura Channel" and leave a comment. Heck, didn't even do it. Even though he said he likes my video and commentary.
I had tried everything I can do, like do not upload everyday..Use scheduler and post in a specific time. But nothing ever works. And you will tell me, hard work will pay off. Not in my case, because I tried everything and seems to fail.
The one reason, why I am still writing this thread is because I spend thousands of dollars for Youtube and the return is not much. Yes Youtubing should be a hobby, but I want to get at lease few people who will really watch my video and leave a comment. How hard is that to ask in return?
Freedom and @Believe said "Never Give Up!". I am on the brink of giving up now. I am so tired of everything. It's like I am wasting my time, energy and money on things that I love to do. But will not love me back in return.
I guess someone people are just lucky and even have charisma like @George . In which, I lack both..
I am right now really on my low point. Can someone out there help me? Lift my spirit up again and believe I can reach the brass ring someday. Anyone? @Hail Kira @41Danny1 @Ernest @JakeVegas @DeathLives @Row
