How do I go about getting more subscribers on YouTube? - CurseTen - 02-12-2013 09:14 PM
I do not want to be an ass and advertise on others channels and can not afford advertising. I am poor. ;D Should I look around and network with current YouTubers who are successful or do something else? Thanks for the time.

1. Make videos that are helpful. People love to to know things. In fact, you want to know something right know. Take something that you know a lot about and make a tutorial or how-to.
2. Use important keywords. Think if you wanted to see your video what would you type in? Give your video an interesting title and make your description so people WANT to read it.
3. Be a part of the community. YouTube isn't just some site where you make videos so show off views, it's a community like Facebook or MySpace. Comment on other videos and people will see it and check out your channel.

Your on the right track.
Getting your video's viewed is all about content, presentation and networking.
To get views you need:
a) Good content.
And/or:
b) Good 'tag' words. The more the better (Youtube dose have an upper limit on the number though).
c) A good video description.
d) A good network of friends and subscribers.
e) Getting 'Likes'.
f) Don't forget to 'Share' your video's and 'Post a Bulletin' to your friends.
g) Video respond with your videos.
So, good content is the hard one. There are no rules, but try to be original, or stick to a theme, or both. Here's an example. Have a look at this:
http://www.youtube.com/user/EbensR4Real
The trick is to engage your viewer from the start, and keep them watching till the end. Hard to get your video 'Liked', if it's not watched in total.
Tagging your video with as many of the right words is very important. People find your video's with these 'Tags'. Use many tags.
Always do a full, and detailed description of your video (this will help when Google 'crawls' for videos). Provide links as needed.
Make friends. Reach out to other similar channels, and [Add Friend]. Offer Sub4Sub to increase your subscribers.
Double check your editing (smooth transitions, clean/even audio, ECT) before uploading. Sloppy editing on your videos, effect your chances of getting 'Likes'. Remember too 'Like' your own video (people in your network will see this, and be only one click away from watching your video).
After uploading:
Use the [Share] button, to put your video's on FaceBook/Twitter/MySpace/ETC.
On your channel, use the [Post Bulletin] to send your video (with a message) to all your friends.
Post video response to your own video's. Seach for videos similar to your own, and then post your video's as a response.
Multiple views:
Thought should be given to your channels appearance (back ground, colour scheme, play list's, profile wording, ect). A nicely designed channel will encourage your visitors to stay and watch more video's.
Also:
If you visit random pages and comment. People will see your avatar (one click, and there at your page), and have a link to you. Be careful of spamming. Some people get very upset.
Hope this helps

Definitely network, you're right about that
And thank goodness you're not advertising on other people's channels; that's the most annoying thing in the world. Comment on lots of videos that are similar to yours so people will check out your channel, and send friend requests out. You won't get many subscribers without a decent quality camera (sucks, but it's true) 'cause no one wants to watch fuzz. Get a nice camera, make sure you're titles catch people's attention, and network! Networking seems like the best way to go about it really. Help me with mine? Please please
