Hey everyone, its been a while since the last post so it seems appropriate to post a little update. The channel is making slow and steady progress. Nearly 240 subs on the channel is a pretty nice number for us. Its been a bit rough seeing that number decline from time to time, and it seems like our promotional attempts have been netting us less subscribes and views. So we are currently adjusting for that and trying new, more subtle methods.
James and I both tend to agree that at this stage in YouTube an "organic" channel is a pipe-dream. A lot of the old youtubers (2-4 years+) Always say to let your channel grow organically, and it is understandable because that is their experience. The competition and saturation back in that time was conducive to natural growth so long as you were relevant in search results. The LP competition is so steep now you really need to do everything perfectly just to be relevant. It is a challenge and I am very grateful to have another mind to bounce ideas off of.
Not to be discouraged of course. We have tons of drive and tons of content. Plus new breakout content that has had tremendous success. As some of you may know I play an online game, Ragnarok Online, from time to time. I decided to do a speedrun of level 1-99 in 1 hour. After posting it to the forums it skyrocketed to its current 3.5k views, with 23,000 minutes watched. Livestreaming has been good to us, expect more in the future.
All of our LP content was pre-recorded as many of you know. James and I are approximately 700 miles away from each other when we are at school so doing live content daily is simply not feasible. But we want to have live conversation, so we have really been pushing livestreaming, following on Twitter, and following on Facebook. As always we are extremely grateful to those who keep up with the channel and support us by watching our videos. Comments on videos will almost always get a response from us, so keep up the conversation! Stay tuned for more.
