here are usually only a handful of reasons a YouTube channel struggles to get views. The challenge is figuring out which one applies to your channel.

1. Your topic may not have enough demand

If you're making videos about subjects very few people search for or click on, YouTube has a small audience to recommend them to.

Ask yourself:

  • Are people actively searching for this topic?
  • Are similar videos getting lots of views?
  • Is the topic evergreen or trending?

For example, a title like:

  • "The 6% Dividend Stock That Pays Every Single Month"

is more likely to attract viewers than:

  • "My Thoughts on Dividend Investing #17"

because it creates curiosity and promises a specific benefit.

2. Your thumbnails aren't getting clicks

Even great videos fail if nobody clicks.

Common thumbnail mistakes:

  • Too much text
  • Small unreadable fonts
  • No emotional trigger
  • Generic stock photos
  • Low contrast

A good finance thumbnail might say:

  • "6% MONTHLY INCOME"
  • "Pays Every Month?"
  • "$1,000 Invested Here"

with one clear visual focus.

3. Your titles aren't creating curiosity

People click when they feel they'll learn something valuable.

Compare:

❌ "Realty Income Stock Analysis"

✅ "The 6% Dividend Stock That Pays Every Single Month"

The second title is specific, benefit-driven, and creates curiosity.

4. Viewers leave too early

YouTube cares a lot about retention.

If viewers leave in the first 30 seconds, YouTube stops recommending the video.

A common mistake is starting with:

"Hi guys, welcome back to the channel..."

Instead, start with:

"What if I told you there was a stock that pays investors every single month?"

Give viewers a reason to stay.

5. Your channel lacks a clear niche

Many small channels post:

  • Finance today
  • Gaming tomorrow
  • Motivation next week

This confuses both viewers and YouTube.

The fastest-growing channels usually focus on:

  • Dividend investing
  • Personal finance
  • AI tools
  • Side hustles
  • Stock analysis

Pick one lane and stay consistent.

6. You're not publishing enough

Many creators upload:

  • 1 video
  • Wait 2 weeks
  • Upload another

Growth is often a numbers game.

For a new channel, consider:

  • 2–4 long-form videos per week
  • 1–3 Shorts daily

The more quality content you publish, the more chances YouTube has to find your audience.

7. Your videos aren't solving a problem

People watch videos because they want:

  • To make money
  • Save time
  • Learn something
  • Be entertained
  • Avoid mistakes

Finance videos that perform well often answer questions like:

  • "Best Dividend Stocks for 2026"
  • "How Much Dividend Income Do You Need to Retire?"
  • "3 Stocks That Pay You Every Month"

8. Your channel is still too new

Many successful channels spent months getting almost no views.

It's common to upload:

  • 20 videos
  • 50 videos
  • Even 100 videos

before YouTube finds the right audience.


What's holding the channel back?

1. The titles are too broad or unclear
Examples:

  • "Dividend Stock"
  • "How to Create Video"
  • "How to Make Money with TikTok"

These topics are highly competitive, and the titles don't tell viewers exactly what they'll gain.

Instead, try:

  • "Best Dividend Stocks for Beginners in 2026"
  • "How I Made My First YouTube Video Using Only My Phone"
  • "5 Ways Beginners Can Make Money on TikTok in 2026"

2. The channel doesn't have a clear niche

Your videos cover:

  • Dividend investing
  • Video creation
  • TikTok money-making

These are different audiences. YouTube has difficulty figuring out who to recommend your videos to.

Choose one main topic for the next 20–30 videos:

  • Personal finance and investing, OR
  • Social media growth and making money online

3. No subscribers is normal at the beginning

Most channels start with:

  • 0 subscribers
  • Very few views
  • Little engagement

The key is consistency. Many creators quit before YouTube has enough data to understand their audience.

4. Your thumbnails may need improvement

For finance videos:

  • Use large text (3–5 words max)
  • Include numbers
  • Use high contrast

Example:
Title: "The 6% Dividend Stock That Pays Every Month"
Thumbnail: "6% MONTHLY INCOME"

5. Create videos people are actively searching for

If you choose finance, here are some better topics:

  • "Best Dividend Stocks for Beginners"
  • "How to Earn £100 Per Month in Dividends"
  • "Top 5 Monthly Dividend Stocks"
  • "How Much Money Do You Need to Live Off Dividends?"

If you choose TikTok/social media:

  • "How to Get Your First 100 TikTok Followers"
  • "3 TikTok Mistakes Beginners Make"
  • "Can You Make Money on TikTok With 0 Followers?"

A simple plan for your next 30 days

  1. Pick one niche.
  2. Upload 3 videos per week.
  3. Make titles that solve a specific problem.
  4. Create simple, clear thumbnails.
  5. Focus on videos that are 4–8 minutes long.
  6. Add 1–2 Shorts daily related to your niche.

For example, if you choose dividend investing, your next 10 videos could all be about dividend stocks, passive income, and beginner investing. That gives YouTube a much clearer idea of who should see your content.

If you share the link to your Selva Kala channel, I can review it in more detail and suggest better titles and thumbnail ideas for your existing videos.

My channel Url is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmC6tR2gE-4XCDeNzPT0Sw

Thanks for sharing the channel URL. Unfortunately, I can't reliably access and review the actual videos from that channel URL right now, so I can't see your thumbnails, descriptions, or video performance directly. However, based on the titles you mentioned earlier ("Dividend Stock", "How to Create Video", "How to Make Money with TikTok"), I can give you some practical advice.

The biggest issue: Your channel appears too broad

YouTube works best when it knows exactly who to recommend your videos to.

Right now you seem to be mixing:

  • Dividend investing
  • TikTok growth
  • Making money online
  • Video creation

If someone watches a dividend video, YouTube won't know whether to recommend your TikTok videos to them.

Pick ONE niche for the next 20 videos

For example:

Option A: Investing

  • Best Dividend Stocks for Beginners
  • How to Build Monthly Passive Income
  • Top REITs for 2026
  • £100 Monthly Dividend Portfolio

Option B: Make Money Online

  • How to Make Money with TikTok in 2026
  • Best Side Hustles for Beginners
  • AI Tools That Pay
  • How I Earned My First £100 Online

Improve your titles

Instead of:

❌ Dividend Stock

Try:

✅ The 6% Dividend Stock That Pays Every Month

✅ This Dividend Stock Could Pay You Forever

Instead of:

❌ How to Make Money with TikTok

Try:

✅ How to Make Money on TikTok With 0 Followers

✅ 3 TikTok Side Hustles That Actually Work

Upload consistently

For the next 30 days:

  • 3 long videos per week
  • 1–3 Shorts every day

Shorts can help you get your first subscribers much faster.

Make better thumbnails

Use:

  • Large text (3–5 words)
  • Big numbers
  • One clear image

Example:

  • "6% MONTHLY INCOME"
  • "$100/MONTH DIVIDENDS"
  • "TIKTOK SIDE HUSTLE"

Your first goal is NOT money

Your first goal should be:

  • 100 subscribers
  • 10 quality videos
  • 1,000 total views

Once you reach those milestones, growth usually becomes easier.

If you can send me:

  1. How many videos you've uploaded,
  2. Your average views per video,
  3. Whether you're making Shorts, long-form videos, or both,

I can create a customized 30-day growth plan for your channel.

yes please

Great. Since your channel is new and has no subscribers yet, the fastest way to grow is to stop trying multiple topics and focus on one audience.

Recommendation.

I would focus on making money online + investing because those topics are related and can attract the same audience.

30-Day Growth Plan

Week 1: Set Up Your Channel

  • Create a channel banner that says:
    • "Money, Investing & Online Income"
  • Write a simple channel description:
    • "Helping beginners learn investing, dividend stocks, and online income opportunities."

Week 2–4: Upload Schedule

3 long videos per week

  • Monday
  • Wednesday
  • Saturday

2 Shorts per day

  • Morning
  • Evening

10 Video Ideas

  1. The 6% Dividend Stock That Pays Every Month
  2. How Much Money Do You Need to Live on Dividends?
  3. 3 Best Dividend Stocks for Beginners
  4. Can You Become Rich from Dividend Investing?
  5. How to Make Money on TikTok With Zero Followers
  6. 5 Side Hustles You Can Start Today
  7. Best AI Tools to Make Money Online
  8. How I Would Invest £100 as a Beginner
  9. Passive Income Ideas for 2026
  10. Monthly Dividend Stocks Explained

Better Titles

Instead of:

  • "Dividend Stock"

Use:

  • "This Dividend Stock Pays Investors Every Month"

Instead of:

  • "How to Create Video"

Use:

  • "How to Make YouTube Videos Using Only Your Phone"

Thumbnail Formula

Keep it simple:

  • 2–4 wordnly
  • Large text
  • Big number

Examples:

  • "6% DIVIDEND"
  • "$100/MONTH"
  • "TIKTOK CASH"
  • "PASSIVE INCOME"

What to Expect

Most new channels get:

  • 0–50 views initially
  • A few videos may get 100–500 views
  • Growth often starts after 20–50 videos

Don't judge the channel after 5 videos.

Target for the Next 30 Days

  • 12 long videos
  • 60 Shorts
  • 25 subscribers
  • 500–1,000 total views

Successful advertising

Successful advertising: it’s what you know, not who Advertising holds the keys to the free internet, but to succeed, it must be hyper-relevant while respecting consumer privacy – particularly since consumers are savvier than ever about their data rights. James Patterson, VP, Client Services, EMEA & Global Operations at The Trade Desk looks at the careful balance that needs to be struck between the two, which should fuel rather than fight each other. The advertising industry plays a crucial, often understated role in our society. Whether it’s the daily news fix, a dose of culture, or just good old-fashioned life inspo, advertising still very much holds the keys to the open internet. From Reddit to Rachmaninov, advertising uses data to democratise access to cost-free content for consumers of all shapes and sizes. In the past few years however, the advertising industry and the role it plays have been under growing scrutiny, with some unscrupulous advertisers irritating and intru...
