How can I promote my youtube channel?

[TheBohoPrincess]

So ever since youtube got rid of video responses I have had problems advertising my youtube channel. I don't like sharing my videos on my Facebook page yet, because I don't want to rely on my school to be the only ones who watch.
I have a beauty channel, and have been making videos for a little over a year. I have only managed to get 160 odd subscribers and I can't tell if it is my video quality or my lack of advertisement that if killing me.
I have a giveaway going that is about to close, but it hasn't helped too much.
My channel is http://www.youtube.com/thebohoprincess

Please check it out and let me know what is the best way for me to promote my channel/make it more popular to viewers.

Thank You.

Hi there,

I used to do YT myself and found it very hard to gain any viewership. When your channel is young, it is knocked down the line in the SEO list with other, bigger Youtubers in the same category as you. Which as you may have guessed isn't good for the smaller channels.. like yours for example.

However, there are many online communities which will let you share and promote your YouTube channel and videos for free. You will have to run a quick Google search to find these forums as I don't want to be seen as an advertiser. Also, remember don't expect instant overnight success. The main idea of YouTube is to be patient and make good content so over time you get a good following.

One thing to take into consideration is to not advertise on other peoples channels no matter how big or small the channel is, do not do it. This will attract trolls and whatever else and it is also classed as spam which will bring haters.

Take your time, upload original content, post to a few forums and most of all enjoy making videos.

Hope it helped.
