how to get noticed on youtube?

[Shannon]

I know theres no specific way that is sure to make you get noticed but i just want some help.

I have a channel on YouTube where I cover songs, i use all the professional equipment and software to edit, but i get hardly any views or subscribers.

No i don't just use my webcam and laptop microphone, so its not bad quality or anything, but i don't know what I'm doing wrong, is it really worth trying to get to a studio?

Someone i know also sings on youtube and has a manager and everything, they get to go to photo shoots and music videos, and i just want to get noticed too.

I spread my videos all over Facebook and Twitter, get people to share them, but nothing is working, i just don't want to resort to having to pay to get them advertised by someone.

Has anyone got any useful tips to help me?
Anything will be much appreciated

Advertise, tell your friends, your family, meet people online and tell them.

We're in an age now were people hardly ever just sit and listen to music. So, your best bet would be to combine the animation with some significant visual element. Which visual element is right for you is something you must decide.

Hey

Well I guess you are looking for some popularity on YouTube.
I have a couple of tips if you want to read and benefit so you can get more YouTube Views.

1- Make a good quality video, and if possible set it to high definition. Also make it widescreen. People prefer to watch videos in HD and fully wide including me.
2- Choose popular topics and review your videos before releasing them to the public.
3- Try to use content targeted keywords and create eye-catching thumbnails. I don't know why people look at thumbnails before watching the video but I guess the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover" goes wrong here.
4- Share it with your friends and family, spread it on social networking websites like facebook, twitter etc.
5- Post it on your blog, or forums like digitalpoint etc. And you can even post it on digg, stumbleupon etc.
6- Make the videos short and to the point so you get good rating.
7- Interact with the commenters and subscribers.
8- Add in RELATED video responses to videos which are already popular. 9- Ask people to subscribe saying you'll upload new content regularly, use the call to action strategy and you could ask for it at the end of the video.
10- Add in a link at the end which would take your user to your other videos.
11- Be patient, it takes time to get noticed. However if you are not really patient, there are some paid methods out there aswell.

Check out http://www.YouTube-Views.Net
Those are two sites I would recommend since I used their services and I trust them.. I don't know how they do it but whatever method they use seems to have worked for me.
I have gotten about 50K Views on almost all of my videos and average views is 220K , plus my subscribers list is about 11000 so yeah you could say I'm a big youtuber who's giving you these tips. So yeah trust me

If your video is stuck on 301 views, don't worry it's just a new video and YouTube wants to verify the views count to see if it's real views or not. It'll go away as soon as you get more views.
Ask yourself this question, why do you want so many views? To get more popular, to earn money, to rank higher in search engines, do get more subscribers and the list goes on. So work hard for it or trust an expert with the job.
You can even earn money from YouTube once you get popular. Like Google Adsense or YouTube partnership. So do try that you are able to benefit from that extra revenue

I also know of a software you might want to use. It's automated YouTube Marketing, so yeah it's pretty cool!
