Now by far, one of the most repeated tips I hear people give to new content creators is this:
'Be sure to collaborate with other people so you can expand your audience!'
Now while I'd totally agree, I can't considering I can never find anyone who is actually serious about collaborating. All I ever get is spam comments and messages about sub4sub or the 'Subscriber Shoutout' pyramid scheme we all know of. Even if I do take a more casual approach, like just messaging the creator about their content, it always seems to turn into a sub4sub conversation.
As a gamer, I feel that these issues are worse (at least from my own experience) since our market is fairly saturated. Now, I'm not really trying to say that I'm looking for collaboration partners on this post, I'm just wondering how everyone else is fairing when it comes to this.
I personally just want Loyal Subscribers who are actually happy to see my content, so the Sub4sub style of gaining traction doesn't appeal to me, and it doesn't work.
Let me know how you guys are networking (if you are) and if you'd want to collaborate with me, be sure to check out the content that I make and the like.
Thanks!
