I found the same thing when I was blogging and also running marketing for my small business.

How successful it was was almost directly dependent on my time commitment. These sorts of things almost always have a compounding sort of growth that benefits from lots of attention in a consistent timeframe.

The algorithms are also primed to show users something they already recently searched for or a profile you recently watched.

The odd content will rank well on Google and have maybe ~1-10yrs of extended viewership or traffic. But today's internet rewards newness.

Slightly de-clickbaiting:

First-level table of contents:

> Subscriber growth

> Views

> Watch Time

> Impressions, Click-Through Rate and View Duration

> How I am improving my videos

> What’s Next?

Opening paragraphs, paraphrased:

> It takes a long time to grow on YouTube, and I knew this going in but I have been pleasantly surprised with my growth in the first month.

> Before October 2022, I had posted 3 videos, none of which had many views and I had a total of 51 subscribers.

> As of 1st November, I now have 135 subscribers.

Thank you!

One sentence summary: Posting consistently for 1 month increased subscriber count from 51 to 135.
