I've been partnered with freedom for 3 weeks now and have only gained 2 followers through it. I was wandering how I can increase my views and subs. I receive more positive feedback then subscribers and wanted to know how else i can advertise my channel. Any suggestions?
How do I increase my views and subscribers?

Hey Bros, everyone wants more views and subscribers but, you can't ask for it really just stay positive and never give up! Good luck 
You are better off using freedom to help improve your channel rather than gain a few subs. Getting a few subs and views wont really grow your channel. There are quite a few tutorials around that will help with SEO, branding and a few others things like connecting with other Youtubers that could help a lot. Also look at similar channels to your own and look at what has worked for them, which videos are more popular than others.
As the other have said go for quality content above anything else and views will come in eventually

SEO and knowledge are your best assets.
As @Koala_Steamed said, this place is best used for getting knowledge while meeting new friends and colleagues. An audience, no matter the kind of video you produce or how much you advertise, is not going to be found here.
To gain viewers, you must manipulate YouTube's algorithms for SEO to your benefit, that involves understanding how it works and what makes the system tick. Use the knowledge of the system to better your video search results.
I cannot stress enough that advertising off YouTube is not going to help you whatsoever, you'd be wasting your time. Time you could've spent learning how to manipulate YouTube to your advantage.
To gain subscribers... Well, you don't. There is nothing you can do other than say "click subscribe" at the end of a video that would pressure someone any more than the quality of the content itself towards subscribing.
Make the content you make it and of your quality. To better the quality is to better the chance of someone subscribing, but only slightly. That's not saying quality=subscribers though. But the point is there is nothing you can do outside of the video itself to gain faithful subscribers.

Freedom doesn't really grow your channel. Freedom gives you the tools to improve you and your channel so that views and subs will come.
I've been with freedom! for a week and gained 20/25 subscribers in that time but I started with 80 Subs before I Joined Freedom! so it does depend on how many subs you have to begin with but the amount of subs you'll gain will gradually increase over time. This will take time to get you to the 100 sub miliestone.
Everyone else has pretty much summed up everything I was going to suggest, one thing I would suggest (although in one sense your going against popular trends..) is being unique and robust, vary your style and video's from everyone else's - i always try to imagine myself as the viewer from an outside view-point and then see if i'd continue to watch then carry on etc.
First of all you need good content this mcn provides support and stuff that can help you but if you ain't putting effort in you ain't getting no subs. Your uploads must be decent quality and you need a good upload schedule! Posibly around once a week or more! You need to talk to people around the community share your content with them! And also create or ask! Good thumbnails! Make them eye catching! So people won't go past without checking out your video! And another good way to promote your channel is Collabs!
Freedom offers the tools in order to help you grow. A usefull tool is Tubebuddy to see what tags work good for your video's. As for advertisement socializing is the best way to go. Get active on the forums, twitter and instagram and meet up with other gamers. In time you will notice growth as you meet new contacts and possible people to collaborate with
I'll start with 'It's a marathon, not a sprint. Do what you love'.. But will go ahead and do a channel review to on my opinion of what you can improve!
Anyway, those are my tips
- No Channel trailer, just instantly into a CoD.. Also, the language (For me) turns me off..
- Consider a channel trailer like what we do here (The Gaming Heretic, Hit Start Network)
- Your thumbnails aren't popping. Consider using text, borders, perhaps some other types of pictures and such
- Your audio can be somewhat hard to listen to - maybe move the mic a little further back or try a different microphone.
- And again, this could be me.. I could be an old fogey.. Language is a bit to much.. seems like its everyother word.. I could be old.
- Create playlists and customize your front page.
- Call to action 'Hey this is the Bros.. don't forget to rate comment subscribe.. etc"
Anyway, those are my tips
