I have played nice on YouTube for months now and have I only got around 300 views per video organically (6 vids). I understand actual SEO really well (since 07) & learned YT SEO; tried all the whitehat stuff, still only 50 subs.

Content is at least decent from a few indicators: I ran a boosted vid on adsense & it had 25% CTR. I also have had bigger channels reach out and ask me to film with them. High engagement on the videos as well.

I Understand how to manually perfect something, then automate it. I figured out how to find and interact with targeted people on YT; I would get 10 subs from engaging with about 15 or so in a small aglo I figured out. I tried automating it with Jarvee (1 day), but it didn't have all the options I needed. I only got about 2 subs out of 50 engagements. Also swear it shadowbanned me for weeks in some ways from analyzing my analytics.

The only other options I really know of are buying high retention views from an unknown (heard panels are trying to figure out new algo anyway), or posting the videos on forums. The last one seems like a great way to get some passionate haters from somewhere like reddit. I interact with related accounts and have landed top comments sometimes, but it still only nets me 5-10 subs.

The videos take about 30 hours to make with filming, transcoding, editing, coloring etc. so it is fairly frustrating. If anyone has grown a channel to a respectable amount through whitehat or blackhat (not banned still), please help me out by commenting or sending a PM. I would really appreciate it. I figured out IG pretty fast, but YouTube is kicking my butt.

Always best to keep replies in the open and not via pm, you could get some trying to sell services, best to stay safe

True, but I found out about "engagement groups" on IG a year before anyone else even hinted at it on the forums haha.
 
6 video’s in a few months? I think this is your problem. Try to upload more consistent.
 
You said don't have people PM you. I was pointing out that I have found out about things that actually work in IM, through PM's. I do not do engagement groups. Someone isn't going to post for the entire world to see, something that is killing it. It's just a small chance I can help someone with a different area of IM and they help me with YT.
The point of a forum is discussion, if you will only discuss via pm then a forum isn't for you

I agree; I had posted two videos months ago. Then I got busy with work, but now I have been uploading almost every week for about 5 weeks now.
 
Do you promote your videos or do you target search keywords? How are you ranking?

I do keyword research, then I add in a few high volume keywords, but mostly the long tail ones without tons of competition & decent volume. I haven't been ranking for long tail keywords after I used Jarvee for one day, also had organic views erased after (thread on it). I did one promotion on a well performing video, that is what had 24% CTR. Used adwords a lot in 2008-2012, but it was crazy to see it go over 5x my daily budget in one hour (2x campaign budget).
 
the problem it's that you want someone to give you a full method meaning black hat, and not to many do that..
there are a lot of black hat niches that reqruiers yt suspended until you figure it out, a lot of tries etc..
whitehat I do have an ideea which I will try, try to make videos after others youtube that uploaded in last 4 days with same title tags, description a little bit tweaked and video as his only made by you.
it's just an ideea of mine, if someone want's to use it, feel free :)
 
you do realize engagement groups are pretty much useless now?
Yes; I was simply stating that I have found out cool things by working with people on BHW, much faster than most people. I was referring to late 2015/early 2016.
 
Consistency is key when it comes to YouTube. (At least 4 uploads a week)

Be sure to clickbait the fuck out of your thumbnails (and titles), it will lead to some dislikes but still, well worth it.

For me, my key to success on YouTube was seeing what was poppin' in my niche and making a few videos on it. (Led to 900k views on one video :) )

Also, what you said about posting your videos on Reddit/forums, do it.

It will most likely give you some haters but that's good, conflict in YouTube comments will help your video.

Cool, thanks for the input!
