    Is YouTube success still possible? Challenge!

    There is a point that you cross that you can say your channel has become at least moderately successful. For this point, we are going to use the number 50,000. 50,000 subscribers and I will ask you this. Is there a single channel that was made in 2015 that has more than 50,000 subscribers now?

    Network Fan funding

    I wouldn't care if it never comes to Freedom! network partners. I run on the motto: If you're in it for the money & fame, you're in it for the wrong reason.

    How often to you upload a video?

    I post a video when I have inspiration for a topic to work on. I might be a vlogger, but I don't vlog on just anything. I must have something that makes me WANT to make a video on it.

    Which forum can i advertise my YT channel?

    Be sure to read the rules of all forums that you use. Most forums dedicated to specific topics do not have any tolerance for video spam. Those made for Youtubers are ineffective. Here, if you look at our rules, you'll find where you can post your videos without having your privileges revoked.

    Time To BailOut!

    Other networks would only supply you with a slightly higher revenue share but given the popularity of your content, you probably won't be able to contend to the minimum requirements of other networks. You must work hard to get anywhere on YouTube, and leaning on other people for support isn't...

    Promoting Your Channel

    Well. Outside of Youtube, it is near impossible to find a place that is open to the occassional posting of a YouTuber but is also meant primarily for gamers. You'll find one or the other, but very rarely both.

    Promoting Your Channel

    Both correct and incorrect. In order to generate views from Reddit, you must post appropriately. I posted in /r/NewTubers and got some decent attention because I was marketing to my target market, YouTubers. Posting anywhere will get you listed as spam and that's a big no-no for your channel...

    I love all you guys

    While I believe motivating yourself is key to being happy making new content. In the big picture it is success on the channel that should drive motivation for continuing to create content in the long term. Nothing feels better than a comparatively viral video.

    Subscriber Milestone First Milestone

    Keep up the "in __ days" attitude. Getting an amount of subscribers consistently over time is alot more valuable to gauge channel popularity that a total value.

    YouTube Stop George promoting Sub for sub plz

    If someone thinks there is a simple "straight-to-success" method on YouTube, they are mistaking themselves. It's like trying to have a simple answer to a complex problem.The answer might be 42, but what matters is how you got to 42, it's difficult, and requires still & knowledge.

    Promoting Your Channel

    I will point out that it is destructive to your content quality if you try to collaborate with a stranger for the purpose of collaborating. You must enjoy the person you're collaborating with the produce a proper end product.

    Promoting Your Channel

    Advertising externally is very ineffective in most cases. Since you're just poking your finger at the fat blob that is a community of other YouTubers. To get noticed, you must go where your target market is, and that is most certainly not on these forums, social media sites, etc.. All you find...

    Tips & Tricks get the channel out there

    The problem is that alot of YouTubers don't know exactly where "out there" is and what it means. YouTubers are meant to have a target market, the people you appeal to, to entertain or teach. Too many people simply try to market to everyone, and that's one of the many downfalls of small channels.

    YouTube Stop George promoting Sub for sub plz

    Exactly. When you subscribe to someone hoping they'd subscribe back, do you really think they would watch you? You subscribed to them, would you watch them?

    If you could meet/collaborate With any Youtuber/Youtubers Who would it be?

    I would like a collaboration with Casey Neistat. That dude is the best and greatest at vlogging on YouTube. If I was a gamer, NerdCubed would be my option since he is the pinnacle of what all gaming YouTubers should be: Honest, and realistic. Really down-to-Earth kind of guy.

    YouTube Stop George promoting Sub for sub plz

    It is the definition of the idea of Sub4Sub, but not what actually happens. People who do this practice religiously have the mindset that it does come with views attached to it, that (and evidence goes to prove this) not the case.

    YouTube Stop George promoting Sub for sub plz

    The only problem would be getting it out to the partners. You'd have to have your video front and center on Freedom! central to get it to basically anyone since advertising here is ineffective.

    YouTube Stop George promoting Sub for sub plz

    @George - The true focus should be to stop people from doing these malicious forms of suspected "growth". There are YouTubers who have come and gone because they were disheartened by the 3 views they got on their 100 subscriber special. That is the kind of help we need to give. We need to give...
