YouTube Struggles...
The reason I am making a post is to share my struggles with YouTube. For the past 3 months, I have been making many types of montage videos on games like Fallout 4 and Battlefield 4, plus some talk episodes. I also do some random stuff just for fun. However, it seems like I am getting to no end as I get barely any views unless I self advertise(and people hate self advertising). This puts me down a lot as I feel like the amount of time and effort I put into some of my videos(videos that I spend about 4-6 hours of editing don't even reach 10 views while people like Jacob Satorius get hundreds of thousands just for a 7 second clip).
If anyone has any tips to help me, that would be appreciated as I want to have a group of people that enjoy my content. To avoid me self advertising, I won't share my YouTube channel unless you want it PM'ed in case you're interested. Some of you may be saying for me to check comments but I never get comments due to lack of views.

Be original. Make something new no one else has done before.

Simply because Youtube is full of gaming clips. You are trying to squeeze into a market that has been open for years and people already have their favourites. It doesn't matter what you do, someone has probably already done it. Montages have been done to death. There are so many montage videos that people have started to get bored of them. There are thousands of people making Youtube content for games like Battlefield, CoD, Overwatch well, pretty much any and all multiplayer game. It takes a long time, sometimes years, to build up a channel. Some of those that have millions of subs have been going a damn long time, it doesn't happen over a few months. If you get into a new game and are one of the first then you may get lucky. Apart from that it just takes time. Take those that got big from Destiny. They got a brief bump to their channels but sooner or later those numbers will drop. The big Youtube channels have been around for a long time and took that time to build up. A lot of them have communities outside of Youtube. They do Twitch and have websites for their members to hang out and various other ways to get publicity. Most people already have their favourites. You're waiting for them to get bored and start looking around. Montages are not the way to go though. Far too many people are making them and we've seen it all before.

1 RespuestaDude I know that feeling I too am trying to do the same but the struggle bus is just too real I tried Livestreaming but it's just not for me given how much time I have on my hands. I'm more than happy to check out and subscribe to your channel if you want to check out mines as well (:

1 RespuestaEditado por Ace: 6/4/2016 9:45:54 AMIf you play on xbox or pc I can collab with you I do similar stuff on what you describe I dont have much but I'm sure at least some of my subscribers would check your channel if you collab with me You know if you want
-
Do a niche game like blacklight or planetside you gotta do a game that no one else is doing
-
Pm me your channel so I can check it out.
-
Live stream instead.
-
Collab. Talk to people who do similar things (don't give them too many ideas). Just keep going with what you do and treat it as nothing but a hobby. Don't go in thinking you'll be the next big thing as that's just setting yourself up for failure. Hell collab with Raw Wilson if you can. He post here a lot and he seems to enjoy making videos. He can probably help you the most out of people here.

Unless you are personal friends with a popular YouTuber and do a vid together, you arent getting anywhere.

2 RespuestasFirstly know your audience in which mostly young ones I assure you. Be loud, obnoxious, and have a over the top personality. The lil shitheads will gravitate right towards you in no time. Be a sell out and checked out what game is "in" then play that game. You'll be rolling in YouTube money in no time.
-
1 RespuestaThe problem with trying to get into making gaming YouTube videos is there are way to many channels doing that already. Supply and demand, if you will.
-
1 RespuestaKeep trying. Had you made the channel back in 2010-2011 it'd likely be extremely easy, but the unfortunate reality is that YouTube is just too saturated with gaming channels at this point.
-
3 RespuestasYoutube's gaming videos has grown into a HUGE industry for them. It is one of the reasons that the Youtube Red thing got made. I have never tried but I would imagine that it is really hard at this point to get views. However, a Friend and I made some dumbass video (not related to games or anything) and tagged EVERYTHING. Shirts, concrete, cars, video games, literally ANYTHING you can think of. It now has 20k views. Most of them are "wtf is this?" but we ask ourselves that too. That is my advice.
-
4 RespuestasProbably the only thing that'd help is to get some popular YouTuber to promote your channel during their videos, or self advertising. But I also don't know anything about that, nor really care for specific video channels, for gaming anyways.
-
8 RespuestasFind other youtubers of your size and collaborate. Pretty sure on Gmail somewhere you can find people who want to.

11 RespuestasMy best advice is to just comment little things on any youtube videos you watch(but dont self advertise). Could be a joke or something but if people like the comment they may check your channel out. You can also peruse gaming forums and ask people if you should do anything differently in videos or change (like speaking too fast or editing errors)
-
1 RespuestaI don't have any advice, but I commend you for not spamming your channel or videos in your post.
-
If you have any advice, please tell me. I'd appreciate it
