I put my heart into every violin video. Why am I still stuck at 300 to 500 views?
Hi everyone! I'm new to this community.
I'm a violinist (and a bit of a guitarist too), and I joined because I genuinely need some advice.
I've noticed that so many talented violinists and musicians barely get any views, and I'm starting to understand that feeling myself. I put everything into my content. I produce the music in FL Studio, design my own thumbnails, record and edit my videos using just my phone and computer, and I spend hours trying to make every upload look as professional as possible.
But no matter how much effort I put in, my long-form videos usually stop around 300–500 views. Then I create Shorts hoping they'll bring people to my long videos, but they also stall at around 700 views.
At this point, I honestly don't know what I'm missing.
For those of you who've managed to grow your music channel:
- What was the one thing that changed everything?
- Was it the content, thumbnails, titles, consistency, or just time?
- How did you get your first few thousand genuine viewers?
Also, would it be okay if I shared one of my videos here? I'd really appreciate honest feedback on my playing, production, thumbnails, editing, or anything else you think could be improved. I'm not trying to self-promote—I genuinely want to learn what I'm missing.
Thanks in advance! 🎻❤️
