Helluuuu! so, as any person on youtube at the beginning, i'm desperately wanting my channel to grow. The problem is, this isn't the beginning for me. I created my youtube channel in 2007 and have very rarely uploaded videos due to the fear of people not liking my humor/content, which i've finally managaed to get myself over that giant hurdle. I do know for a fact that it could grow alot faster if i posted more often. I'm not a very driven person at all, and i give up extremely quickly, and i end up uploading a new video either many times a day or once per 2 weeks or more... I would love to have it be a source of income, as i love doing it and extra money is always nice! but as i said, i have literally no drive in my life, whatsoever, which is quite pathetic; I know.

I know the secrets to alot of views (sex sells, baby!), I know about thumbnails (again, sexual!), tags (you guessed it... sexual!), twitter and other things, but why does it feel like it's taking so long? also my channel is a gaming channel that's currently only focused on one game (Warframe) and i will sometimes upload videos of other games, but this is rare. My questions are:

How can i expand my audience legitimately? I've found that doing Giveaways gets me a fast little burst of Subscribers, went from 249 to my current 265 subscribers which i currently have. (after a giveaway, people will normally unsub, but this didn't seem to happen this time!!! :D)

Would you maybe like to collab with me? My small audience could look at your channel! I can't promise any miracles, but it's a tiny opportunity to be seen by other hoomans!

Would you, if you were me, just stop trying? I'd love to say no, but sometimes, i question it myself... Normally i would've given up by now, but i've been doing it quite well in terms of actually sticking to it, so i don't actually think this is an option... i'm sitting here typing this and actually quite happy, i've just admitted to myself that i CAN stick to something. yay me! :D

Sorry for the Looooooong read, hopefully someone can relate and/or help meh!!!

Sending many lovingtons to whoever takes the time to read this! <3
