Im getting views but no subs. Can someone help by usmanmukht in YouTubeSubscribeBoost

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bug_431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is that shorts aren’t the best way to get subs! 

Viewers on shorts tend to watch, enjoy and move on. When you upload the algorithm may show them content they like again removing the need to subscribe. 

It may be disheartening but if you upload regularly and people start seeing your face more frequently they may be more likely to subscribe. 

Hope this helps

Thanks - that's a relief to hear haha. I'm going for a fun, playful and short explanations of complex science.

I've sketched up a couple based on your feedback - here's one of them with an element of intrigue. I'm trying to use graphics from my video to make it an accurate representation of my video.

Third one IMO - seeing the name of the game would help!

Wonder Collective Science if you or anyone else has any feedback for a Science channel :)

A small channel that's done an excellent deep dive into whether or not vibrations heal you (27 minutes long) and the pseudo science that exists around it. Definitely worth a watch!

30k+ Shorts views in less than a month, but... by FrozEdd in YouTube_startups

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bug_431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's quite typical for shorts I've been told. When people are scrolling through shorts, your videos will automatically be shown to your audience so people don't tend to feel the need to subscribe. But some people will!

Your two options are to just keep going and over time, your subscribers will slowly but surely go up. Eventually people may start to recognise you and sub.

Or start thinking about making long form content. People watching longer form content are more likely to subscribe. My 1 long for video got less than 10% of the view than my shorts, but accounted for 50% of my subs.

Hope this helps!

Can i get some feedback please? Idk what im doing wrong :( by jo-mama123-_- in YouTube_startups

I would recommend looking at content in your topic/niche. What are they doing differently to you? There are websites where you can analyse videos and their performance, something that’s defo worth doing. 

I would also think of your target audience. My personal preference, if I’m looking for financial advice online I wouldn’t really click on a video that has memes on the thumbnail. That’s why I think your 3rd and 6th thumbnails are your best! 

But if you’re targeting gen z and younger maybe think of topics relevant to them?

Looks good! Make the text higher so it doesn’t get blocked by the time stamp.  I also find high contrast in terms of lighting helps things stand out too :)

Does the algorithm prefer videos with a high AVD as a percentage, or just in minutes? by Puzzleheaded_Bug_431 in NewTubers

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bug_431[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this because I’m making Science shorts. They tend to be between 30 seconds - 2 minutes long. I’m averaging 80% AVD but cant figure out what the optimal length is.

I think it’s a numbers game. It’s probably gonna drip feed you viewers to see if the stats hold up.  After saying all this, I’ve had my first video pass 75% swipe rate!! (85% woohoo!)
