Where To Advertise Video

Social Media is a great way to start, I recommend Facebook, Twitter, I even use Pinterest, Blogger, LinkedIn, G+, etc. Also optimizing your channel and video so YouTube recognizes it and search engines bring it higher in the searches. A good title, great description, accurate tags, and branding your channel all help!
 
Thanks ;)
i'm actually worried where I advertise on Google since someone is disliking every video now so it just picks up a ton of trolls lol but Facebook and twitter are great and I try other sites you recommend.
also how does Pinterest test, Would promoting a video everywhere look spammy worried about it lol
Thanks and also I like your videos!

yttalk forums is a great way to advertise, also if you tell people to check it out on an online game, than they will definitely check it out, and as long as you're nice to them while playing the online game with them, they won't show hate :]
 
YTalk is nice forum can say that been here for a few months now ;)
As for online games it depends I know some game servers that have rude people in it and hate advertising even if your just asking them so guess I be careful on that.

Guess I can try online games ;)[DOUBLEPOST=1397443635,1397443451][/DOUBLEPOST]Also would paying for advertisers or ads help?

Promoting manually seems to be a long road for what I am trying to archive.

My video views have dropped I am not sure if this is normal at 100 subscribers?

There is always an ebb and flow to such things. Don't read too much into it if it goes up and down. A steady consistent trend down over a lot of videos might need you to see what you've changed that could be so negatively affecting it.

Anyway i'm looking at growing my channel more but not sure where to start as I do suck at advertising especially when most gaming forums don't allow this and I have tried G+ pages and one of the members on one of the pages are disliking all my videos for no reason.

If you only have ONE person disliking all your videos, consider yourself lucky. There are successful YouTubers here who have their own troll following that ranks in the hundreds. You, my man, have gotten off lightly. Plus, if no one is disliking your content, you're not trying hard enough.

what is the best way to get popular on you tube as I have videos ideas but getting the right users to watch it is hard.

You're a YouTube gaming show and, sorry, that genre is WAY over-saturated. Everyone and their grandmother is doing them. Everyone thinks they'll be the next PewDiePie. They're one of the simplest and cheapest YouTube shows to make. That giant roar you're hearing isn't the ocean breaking against the rocks but all the other YouTube gaming shows trying to be heard.

For what it's worth, here are some of my thoughts after skimming your channel.

1) Is it just you who is making the videos? If so, then the "we" in your intro video is a royal "we" and that's not going to fool anyone. Besides, gaming videos are probably one of the most personal type of YouTube videos out there. People will not follow a "we" but a "me". To sell a gaming video you're selling YOU, not the game. Always remember that. That is how you will get them to subscribe. The game MIGHT get them to check you out but YOU will be the ONLY reason why they'll subscribe. So unless there is really more than you making your videos, drop the royal "we". Also, forget the fancy graphics. Present yourself at the start, middle, and end. All the way through. And cut the intro video to 30 seconds and no more.

2) In your intro video, where you actually talk is muffled and I couldn't understand a single word you said.

3) You need to work on how to properly position your microphone. While watching your "Sleeping Dogs - The Beginning Mission #1 Part 2", you're spitting into your microphone or you got a bad lisp. If you're spitting into the microphone, move it away so that doesn't happen. If you got a bad lisp, sorry but no one likes listening to someone with a bad lisp. When watching your "PS4 Removing HTC & Xbox One Getting Direct X 12 / Spud News", I'm afraid it is more likely you have a bad lisp. There are YouTube videos that can help you fix your lisp. Simply do a YouTube search on "fix lisp".

4) When watching your "PS4 Removing HTC & Xbox One Getting Direct X 12 / Spud News", you appear cross-eyed. This could be simply your camera being too close and you're trying to look into its lens. Move the camera back and will likely fix it ... unless you really are cross-eyed, then it won't.

5) Invest into a better microphone. You sound muffled.

6) When watching your "Sleeping Dogs - The Beginning Mission #1 Part 2", by the way you talked, you were surprised by the next wave of fighters coming in. Please don't tell me you're playing these games in your videos for the first time. That does work with horror games so your screams are genuine but not for any non-horror games. Run through the game. Master it. Then make your video to teach others who to best the game.

7) Consider specializing in a specific game genre. Specialization will help attract fans of that genre to your show. Trying to be everything to everyone usually attracts no one.

Good luck!

Thanks for your feedback I will take everything you said in to consideration.

1: My Microphone is crap and everything does cost money so I can't really do much until I can afford A better mic, I know You Tubers with horrible mic quality that are still doing good

2: As for me being surprised I have played those missions before but now i'm confused I need to sound surprised otherwise I sound boring if it was the first time I would of died on the first go..

3: Yes I am cross eyed and I refuse to wear glasses in any videos I just look nerdy lol..

Thanks for your feedback and I see what I can do to improve.


and we do not attempt to be the next PewDiePie we are SpudGaming nothing else and I do have a few people that make videos for the channel.

Maybe I did do a few mistakes but most of it is acting when acting surprised.[DOUBLEPOST=1397452606,1397452193][/DOUBLEPOST]No one is perfect I am trying my best and all I have now is my crappy mic but 120 subscribers in 6 months is good I guess...[DOUBLEPOST=1397452895][/DOUBLEPOST]People keep saying they love the videos but it has dropped a little forgot to mention.
 
Most of my subscribers are from my home country, The Philippines, and specifically, my old school (being the Student Council President, a Varsity Athlete and Editor-In-Chief for the school's magazine has its perks) yet they don't use their accounts much :/. That's why I have to resort on sharing my videos on Facebook. I think adding a "call for action" is important since they tend to forget to like or share.
 
Same, I am getting the views but no ratings except my latest video (from this post) has one comment of someone saying Nice vid! so I know the video is good besides my crappy mic it's alright but guess it's almost time to upgrade.

The site seems to be getting ignored :/
I'm thinking about stopping in making videos until the site get's noticed but then I be un-consistent
