So i dont know if this is really the board to ask but to someone

>>17485626
know the right people. pay for views. good luck on jewtube.

>>17485631
i have heard networking is good but do people actually pay for views?

You're too late in the day to make money off YouTube. Everyone and their dog is trying to make it on YouTube now

>>17485641
i'm not really in it for money just wanted to know if you can really grow a channel and mainly how.

>>17485634
i think that most of that stuff is controlled, but I'm pretty pessimistic about media. Go on youtube, and search for how to get subs on youtube and i'm sure there are a thousand videos by successful youtubers that can give you better advice than I can.

>>17485645
If you're not in it for the money, why does it matter how popular you are?

>>17485650
more or less reassurance that my content is good

>>17485657
validation of your content should not be why you are making the content. Do it for the love of it or don't do it at all. If you love it and are putting your all into the content then the followers will come.

>>17485669
you have a point but its just i dont want to end up as one of those guys that never grows at all you know.

>>17485657
Why do you need reassurance? If you're doing it for yourself or for fun, what other people think isn't important. If you need people to pat you on the back and tell you what a good job you're doing, you're in the wrong hobby.

>>17485674
be prepared for nothing to happen, that's all i'm saying. Youtube, like SoundCloud is saturated with content, it's hit or miss from a grass roots perspective. You need money behind you, something bigger than yourself. Networking is big, but you are going to have to sell your soul to get net worth.

>>17485675
its more i dont want to be putting all my time into shit content that i'm the only one that likes it

>>17485684
sell my soul how?

>>17485691
pray to the devil. if you say it, it will happen. I'm not lying. speak it into existence, just be careful what you wish for. things aren't always what they seem...

alright pal you seem not insane at all

>>17485703
lol good luck bro

Are you the guy who posted last week or so who made a let's play channel with his mom?

>>17485753
no but that sounds like a nice cringy time

Make content often.
Communicate with your audience. Those who communicate with their audience gets shared more often.
Do collaborations with others who do similar things as you.


What kind of videos do you do? I might be able to give more specific advice. If it's Let's Plays, give up.

>>17485764
i thought this was all implied.

>>17485769
It's the common sense things a lot of people forget. I make videos, and have a decent sub count. While my channel grows I know people who don't understand why they haven't grown as well. It's because they forget the basic shit or far too lazy to do it.

I ask what type of videos OP makes because I might be able to point them in the right direction. For example I do art videos. A lot of speed painting, how-to's, and whatnot. I didn't see a decent rise in my numbers until I started posting to tumblr and Instagram.

>>17485773
I like art.

>>17485764
i make commentary/story videos where i just tell story's about my life

>>17485780
