I don't post any video for 2 weeks and start getting an average of 30 subscribers/week
Dozens of comments and a few questions come in every day.
I decide to start posting video responses and suddenly:
- number of comments + subscribers drops.
This is only a 12 hours trend, so it is not significant enough to be a stat, but the pattern is clear and it is something that seems to happen.
Yes! I observed that before and it is really strange.
i would think totally the other way round.
i would think that no vids posted would lead to subsribers and comments drop...
And that new vids would create a flow of new subsribers.
In fact the exact opposite happens - at least short term.
----------------------
A few possible reasons for that type of response:
- It is 100% natural and is the result of an organic reaction - I simply repolarize/Monopolize the energy a bit by taking the main role/lead on the channel. The spot light is on me. It takes the energy away from those who visit
- My video style is very directive - It's power kick advice which does not call for feed back - Is this a turn off on an energy level?
The idea of organic reaction is spot on!
When you post, you manipulate energy!
You get what you create!
----------------------
Some more points
- The number of views is ok, stays relatively high: The two last vids got 50+views/day which is in line with usual
- I got 3 posts on my comments - one of them is a hint for doing a vid about sex for men
-----------------------
Possibility:
- This is just a test! to check how dedicated I am to actually go that way - This energy reaction could happen no matter what you engage into
- These are details. The real target is to reach to a new octave
-----------------------
Possible options
- Do it again exactly the way you did it - The subscribers drop is temporary anyway - only a day or two days drop and not really significant within a month period.
- Listen to the reaction and do something about it! - This subscribers and comments drop is a hint! - Do something differently!
- Create opinion opener videos with key questions to your audience - rather than giving directive feed back, offer a space for exchange of ideas and open dialogue.
- Go to a whole new octave and create more prepared vids - more edited - more worked out! - Tried that one in the sense of editing - 1 day of work did not generate more views or response - Music, transitions, jokes and lost of variation in the vid did not create much change - If I check the difference between high edited vids and non edited vids, there is simply little difference or trend
----------------------
The truth is that I want to gather momentum and I want my vids to generate a positive response - Connecting!
