New to the forum, requesting advice.

Hey guys!

I love this community and it seems more than helpful to some people. Everyone here seems to know what they are doing and have a common goal to help each other out and give each other advice for the sole goal, well to advance on YouTube well because we love it!.

So my channel at the moment has grown a little quickly like 20 subs in the last 20 days? These are legitemate subscribers, I do not spam comments for people to check out my channel I just Share my video on website etc and see if people enjoy and they naturally subscribe! Well at the moment my subscriber count has halted from going up and down these past couple of days. This means my method is starting to not be as effective anymore.

Now my question to some more experienced and seasoned youtubers is what should I be doing right now to stimulate growth? I was thinking about doing a collaboration video with small channels like mine (70-100 subs) I also want to find new ways to promote my videos without that annoying spam fashion. That really is my ideas at the moment! Any and all advice is welcomed and I really would appreciate it.

Thank you!

Hoferman.

Hey there! Nice to meet you, I don't think I've seen you around before! I have a few tips that may help.

In regards to promotion: Try Facebook & Reddit.

Reddit: Be careful where you post because the community there is incredibly picky. Be sure your video completely relates to the subreddit. If you have a gaming video, please don't not post it in r/gaming or r/videos. Be specific. If it's a Bioshock video, try the Bioshock subreddit or even a Bioshock lets play subreddit.

Facebook: If you have a creepy video (for example) try searching some creepy/scary Facebook pages. Some of them will reply to you and if your video is content relevant to their page, they'll share it! It's happened to me a couple times, definitely worth trying.

Tagging: Tag your videos as effectively as possible. Try tagging more sentences than single words, that works better. I use an in-browser app called "Heartbeat", it tells you what tags videos have so you can check out popular videos related to yours and see how they have tagged their content so you can simulate the same for yours.

Titling: Title your videos specifically. Not "Minecraft Let's Play" but instead "Tornado Mod - Minecraft Let's Play - Ep. 1" type deal. The YouTube search engine initially searches titles of videos, then the tags come in and help bump it up more.

I hope this has helped. Best of luck. <3

A piece of advice is to not change your content constantly, you change it too often. Big youtubers can do this as the show is about them and their audience will watch anything. For you it doesn't work like that as your small and have to build an audience first.
Secondly, I don't believe in non agressive marketing, the world doesn't reward the kind and patient usually

Like it or not, the only way to grow at the early startup phase is being more aggressive with getting people over to your channel. I recommend an aggressive form of relationship4relationship building with like-minded channels. Your first 1k-2k subs will mostly be other channels anyways, before the algorithm has sufficient confidence in your channel to start placing you in front of non-creator viewers.
Youtube like speed, check out their Creator Academy training, they often talk about tent poling and following trends. Try to do more of that. And all the other seo stuff is real important.

I do content ranging from funny games to horror games - I don't really extend out to like Strategy games or anything like that - I still try to keep a small circle of games I usually play -- starting with a niche would be the best way grow an audience, I'm taking the slightly longer and more rough paved route-- also collaborating would be best -- but it is hard because of a couple things, being comfortable with the person and chemistry. I just did my first collab today and doing another Tuesday - so far I only have TWO people who I consider to be close to me on YouTube and yeah --
Other random advice would be to keep improving (very common I know) but it's the truest advice I can give you - never be stagnant and always try new things - find YOU
