Is it normal that my youtube videos never get views?

Whenever I submit a video to youtube, it never gets more than roughly 50 views. The videos are not bad either, or at least that's what my friends tell me. Does this happen to other people?

    Investigate what is the most searched-for thing on Google and call your videos that, regardless of their content.

        Girls desperate for a piss or talking about peeing do reasonably well too. Showing the actual deed is even better but if someone flags it it's gone.

        Ha! Although it was a while ago, I remember responding to this story and I seem to remember it crossing my mind to mention that the videos should all be called "Naked Megan Fox".

          Yeah, that would most likely work like a charm!

    Normal there must be like 1% of youtubers that get like 90% of the views. (that was just a guess btw)

    I think a lot of it is luck.

    Maybe you can make them a bit more "exciting"... Maybe some videos showing you doing what you're good at would work...

    Or do stuff like MarbleHornets, PewDiePie, or any of your favorite YouTubers.

    Give them interesting names, tag them!, if you have profiles on other sites, than post a link to your YouTube. I would love to see them:) also, don't be upset. It's hard at first, but eventually you'll get more views.

      I posted something similar to this and it now has over 1,500 views. It's just a young girl dancing around to some stupid song. I should change the title to something perverted and see how many views it gets then.

  • I'll tell you the truth. For Youtube, if you want views, you need to have a video that's worth insulting. If you don't, well you won't get the views and comments that insult your video. It's true facts written in the user agreement of the website. Don't look for it, 7854 pages of text.

    Controversy is always a good way to get noticed. Show some nudity, violence or racism and homophobia.

    Normal. Internet fame uses connections. Try submitting your vids to some tumblr site for attention.
