Self-sustained channel

I would say you would have to promote your channel until you get past 10,000, then I think you would find people find it on their own.

But I personally would still promote!
 
Think in terms of daily views, not subs. It is daily views that will drive growth to your channel.

I don't think you need 50k subs to make things easier, because at 50k you've already succeded. I was thinking more of spot before u get famous or make actual money, more like turning point for channel. You know what I mean?

Oh okay I see what you mean. If I remember correctly (and this could have changed since You Tube is always Changing) You need atleast 1000 subs, 10k channel views, and atleast 1k plus views on 10 or more videos to become a You Tube Partner. Then to earn money you have to generate at least 100 dollars of add revenue. You Tube will send you a check every month, or every time generate $100 of add revenue, whichever comes first.
 
To be truly self-sustained, you'd need more than 10,000. If a channel that hits 10,000 ever slows down or stops promoting, they'll likely stop growing.

Very few channels at all stop promoting. Pewdiepie, shaycarl, all these big channels still constantly promote with t-shirts, call to actions, websites. They're not necessarily self-sustaining, they just get more out of their promotion since they have more connections. I don't know many big YouTubers that simply put a video on YouTube and do nothing else.
 
PewDiePie and any channel with multi-million subscriber numbers has a staff or few people making videos (writing, editing, producing). For the one person video creators out there (like us here) I say self-sustainability happens at about 500-1,000 subscribers mark, because at this point you're getting hundreds of views every upload. Your thoughts?

Pewdiepie and shaycarl don't really promote lol. By having such a big fan base people share the videos, and that's why they grow, not because of connections.

"I don't know many big YouTubers that simply put a video on YouTube and do nothing else." ... If you look at pewdiepie, that's pretty much what he does... He's big enough to do that, and I know many people who are at the 100k+ sub level that do the same thing. You don't necessarily need to promote when your big because your subscribers will promote for you essentially.

That is what I'm trying to say... There must be a spot,where you just upload and your video and video find a way trough without much effort. That SPOT that MARK must have some number... I know it depends,but roughly we can agree it's at...???
 
My channel itself is not self-sustainable and I get a thousand views per video. There is no certain sub count where your channel becomes self sustainable. I know a 20k channel. He posts good content regularly and he gets less views per video than I do. Sub count does not matter at all. It's your view count. Your view count pulls in subs and the subs watch your videos and then guess what? You get more views. If you want to be self-sustainable you need to have a video that gains mucho views each day. Sort of a viral video. If not, you will have to continually promote yourself until youtube begins to promote you which is nowhere near the 100 sub, 1k, even 10k spot. A channel with 10 subs might think 10k subs is a freaking lot but in reality that is still a small channel.
