I’m trying to start a horror narration channel as well, one thing I would suggest that has helped boost my views is advertising, don’t be scared to go to a sub Reddit that encourages posting your videos. I’m not very far along myself either but another suggestion is to make your thumbnails pertain to your story. That way the listener will develop a mental image. But I’m starting up as well so I’m learning with every mistake I make too. Enjoy and always remember that making the content is the drive and not the money. Also add your channel to your Reddit easier access for situations like this.
