My channel was launched recently and obtained about 250 subscribers in 3 days. However, ive been stuck here ever since.

Ive read through the guide on this forum that mentions that gateway videos are key to success between 100 and 1000 subscribers, however i would like to pulse the community and figure out what else i can do?

My Question: How do you accelerate your growth from 100-1000 subscribers? What strategies does yttalk have to offer here?

Thanks for reading my post!
 
What exactly is a gateway video? For those of us who are not sure? :p

Thanks!

Viral video. Short and sweet.[DOUBLEPOST=1403147804,1403147602][/DOUBLEPOST]Some people have exponential growth and they never have a viral video because of their views and viewer activity. They slowly grow. But also, their are people that get to the 1k mark and because they never made a viral video, seem to have little to no growth. Almost as much as someone with 100 views. You should do things such as share your videos, word of mouth but even with these are only things that spark a viral video.
 
Thanks for your input, everyone! Yea I've been sharing my videos frantically with a bunch of different communities, but I'm not finding much luck.

Does anyone know of some good practices for finding the best communities to share the content?
How about any other strategies that haven't been discussed?

ahhhhhhh! thanks, it makes sense to have gateways videos to funnel traffic back to your channel and get regularly subscribers then.
 
Yessssssssssss but how does one get their video viral without sharing. I can't just wave my popularity wand across my screen. Otherwise I would have hit myself with it a lot time ago

I mentioned you can make viral videos by sharing OR word of mouth. However, with both these situations your videos have to be extremely amusing and unique. It has to be one of those moments where one person watches the video and they are so astounded that they have to tell everyone else about it. And those people tell everyone else. This is how sharing your video works. Don't expect to get a million views because you posted an average video on Twitter because that's not how it works. Judging from your videos, this task would be harder for you. With all the gamers it's hard to make a video unique enough to spark this phenomenon.

Luck for you, there's another option. In this case, you don't have to share at all and more common to happen. Post a video that everyone is searching for, the hype of the moment. Rather it be a crazy new dance, a parody to popular shows or songs, or a new video game that just came out and everyone wants to see it in action before rushing out to buy it. These are the view generators. You don't have to get a million views on these videos and make it to the homepage but they accumulate views and view accumulate subscribers. Subscribers accumulate more views and the never ending cycle.
 
Hey everyone thanks for the input! I did some more research, and I think I'm just going to have to focus on my SEO more. My content is very searchable, but its also hard for viewers to find it at the moment.

I think that if I consistently post high quality videos, I'll organically grow to the audience I'm looking for :).

Thanks!
