Audience comes only as deserved, and trying to force it forward with [free] advertising is just going to demotivate you in the future.
The best [and only] way to promote your channel is with an ad with Google itself, nothing else will even generate a single proper bit of attention.
Hungry for...
The best option is to get an H.264 codec for your video editor. That will allow you to upload content in the same quality and compression that YouTube will display it to the viewer in.
Using Handbrake will just degrade the quality of the video, that's how it shrinks the file.
If that were ,true, I'd be level 128.
The second suggestion however would work to an extent, but that would alternatively generate people who would shamelessly advertise in replies instead of their own posts.
It is the high quality content that you need to focus on. Create content you are happy with making and make sure it can be seen by your intended audience via YouTube search.
Attention, views, subscribers and such come as deserved, and trying to force it forward is going to demotivate you when...
Evidence to my claim about people being careless to others. Look at this entire section. Each post has 1, 2, 3, or up to 5 views, and absolutely zero replies (on average, this appears to be an exception).
The only one that got replies (and lots of them) is not when one person was looking to get...
You know why you got 5 views? You did Sub4Sub (evidenced by original post).
Sub4Sub subscribers are instantly dead, they cared for nothing but the fact that you subscribed to them. They don't care about your content and most important they don't care about you. They got their +1, that is all...
I view subscribers as mere numbers. My true fanbase total is derived solely from likes, comments, and shares. Those are people who have actively engaged in the community, those are the ones worth something to me.
An unsolicited share is a sharing of a video that someone did out of their pure heart. You did not talk to them directly to get them to share your video, they simply saw your video (at random) and decided to share.
Do unsolicited shares happen often on your channel? If so, do you find them...
I just got paid earlier today, and usually I get paid quite early since I've been here for most of the life of the network.
If your payment is still outstanding after today, be sure to send in a ticket to support staff.
However, I wouldn't sweat and plan with balances not handed out yet. It...
Rather than spending alot of time trying to figure out the exact issue, I'm just going to rifle off all of my questions.
When did you join Freedom!?
Is your Paypal information accurate?
Have you earned anything?
Are you views/earnings false in any way?
Copyrighted content?

By the way that you're asking US, it would be apparent that you revolve your channel around what the viewer wants to see.
I would put up a special video on your channel so your subscribers can vote. If they don't vote or aren't active enough to care, then it is up to you to make that call.
We...
I upload the video, delete the original and then download the copy that YouTube uses, since it's highly compressed.
From there I put it into a video archive drive, 3TB of storage just for videos, which may have to turn into a NAS eventually.
In order to get anywhere on YouTube, one must be at the foot of a new potential trend and execute tactics appropriately. If you see a new trend already rising you're too late to cash in.
The fact of the matter is, though. Just playing any game or any particular game isn't going to make you go...
A little over two years ago was when I started YouTube, and I tried to be a gamer on what was definitely in the bottom 5% of all YouTube gamer laptops by performance. It could not record a solid 30fps at even 720p let alone 1080 since it wasn't a 1080p display.
I got a better laptop, it was and...
