Need help with YouTube (subscribers, viewers etc.)

Naikey · Sep 21st 2012, 7:44pm

Well anyway I have this small channel where I upload videos whenever I can (let's plays), I love making my videos and so on. I just bought a webcam and an editing software so I can have a facecam in my vids it cost about 160€ for me(both editing software and facecam). But now I really find my money somehow wasted because I realized there isn't too many people to watch my videos I have a funny 41 subscribers and no more. I just find doing videos a waste of time when you pretty much know there's pretty much none to see your videos. DON'T get me wrong I still like doing videos but sometimes I find it a little well: It's like I would create them to my self spend hours on editing, rendering and uploading. I only have about 20 videos but yeah still :/. Anyone got any tips or help for me? (I've done a game giveaway doesn't really work lol.)

I just think you have to wait ... C'mon i only have 27 (i supppose) subs ... and i can't wait to make videos again ! Just make sure you like to make videos !

Naikey · Sep 21st 2012, 7:51pm

Well I just realized I love making them but well. I'll have a look at your videos I might even subscribe :3

Just do your thing and you'll get subs.
Using giveaways as a viewmagnet wont work.
Many of them unsub after the contest.
I could give you a shoutout, but contact me on pm and we can solve that.

I'm doing a special shoutout video when I reach 2000 subs bro!
It's kind of like a mini contest that I'll be holding in my facebook fangroup facebook.com/groups/238547412829955/
I've been voted to do a 5 dares video and when I reach 1500 (hopefully today or tomorrow) I'm going to open the poll for people to suggest dares and if your dare gets picked then you get a full channel shoutout

Other than that just try loads of different styles of video until one of them takes off and then stick to it and you'll have a ton of subs in no time! Remember, it's a curve! The more subs you have the more you'll earn, it starts out slow

Sounds really nice there dude :P. I'll look into your channel a little and see what you've got there (videos etc. then i think of subscribing or liking your pages)

You got my shout on my fan account

as for the channel i have hosted for uploading music/games/animation....i need some help with

I think the problem is that you're a teenager. Don't get me wrong but YouTube audience HATES when kids do commentary and lets plays. But still continue to make videos, and don't forget to share them on websites, because in your case every subscriber/view matters.

If your lets plays still don't get any views then try to make a short video about a mod/bug/glitch/smth funny/etc. in a certain game because those might get viral and if they will, you will get a lot of subscribers which means you can do lets plays and have a bigger audience watching them.

Hope I helped, my English is bad because I'm from Ukraine, anyways, good luck!

Really ? O.o

Br00tal · Sep 21st 2012, 9:52pm

That statement is terribly true.

TheMiinuko · Sep 21st 2012, 9:55pm

Well ... Never noticed that (x Im dumb xD

Naikey · Sep 21st 2012, 9:56pm

Well ya true story. I get hate comments on that lol.

RunescapeHullFanatic · Sep 22nd 2012, 12:39am

Yeah, it's true, I don't have the manliest voice in the world for a 17 year old and I used to get hated on a lot for it but when your fan base grows you'll notice your comback comments being thumbed up and people defend you... it's a fantastic feeling

Br00tal · Sep 22nd 2012, 12:40am

Well some people have more luck with getting subs and such, depending what they are playing and how they look.
Society is way too superficial.

RunescapeHullFanatic · Sep 22nd 2012, 12:48am

Or if you're a busty, attractive girl... the world and the internet is a sick place

Br00tal · Sep 22nd 2012, 12:50am

Yep, I was watching Rude Tube the other night and the winner was a slutty woman with big knockers wearing a cat outfit...

Kneesocks · Sep 22nd 2012, 1:00am

Anyway , OT : I don't think you should give up that easily , saw your latest vid had like 64 views in 1 day, which is awesome for starters. Be sure to upload more and more frequently and I think you will get some exposure imo.

Br00tal · Sep 22nd 2012, 1:01am

Would be much easier if you actually quoted who you meant that to XD
