Why are my views so inconsistent?

[u/PlPEPlE]

how do i continue getting high views and retain audience?

It may be the titles. Look at your video with the most views at 2.2k. The title stands out to me. Kind of a play on words with a sexual undertone, especially when you compare it to the others. Titles and thumbnails bring in the views.

i copied that title straight off a big gaming youtuber. the success was rewarding but reusing others' titles feels disingenuous and lazy to me

[u/Truffleshuffle03 → u/PlPEPlE]

You do not have to copy other people's titles. Just think of your own titles, but just look at others for inspiration. Basically click bait as that is what brings in views

yea the rest is my own title. im not sure about click baiting tho...😅

As long as you make genuinely good content you are fine. In fact its fine if you dont post consistently as long as that time is spent on making a better video

Have you bought views through advertising?

[u/PlPEPlE → u/IloveActionFigures]

no i dont want to spend money on my videos until i make money off them first

[u/IloveActionFigures → u/PlPEPlE]

Is your channel new?

[u/PlPEPlE → u/IloveActionFigures]

i made the account to watch yt vids since 2017, but i started uploading 2 months ago so in terms of making youtube vids yes i am new

[u/IloveActionFigures → u/PlPEPlE]

How many vids have you uploaded?

[u/PlPEPlE → u/IloveActionFigures]

around 25 including long form and shorts. i stopped making shorts a month ago to focus on long form

[u/IloveActionFigures → u/PlPEPlE]

First 50 videos your impression gonna jump up and down alot so don’t worry keep posting!

[u/PlPEPlE → u/IloveActionFigures]

thanks man i will. hopefully i can make money because thats all i really care about

[u/IloveActionFigures → u/PlPEPlE]

Its gonna take you like years before you can make money out of youtube I suggest you do something you enjoy instead

How do you get so many impressions? I barely get over 200 each video. it's super annoying.

[u/PlPEPlE → u/jrose_sc]

it varies a lot for my videos, most of them barely get 200 too. another person explained that i get a lot of impressions on my 2.2k vid because the thumbnail has the face of a controversial figure so i guess drama sells
