your advice is good and all,but don t you think that is the same ol stuff said and said and already said several time,change thumb,keep on tags,show it on fb , use other social network and the list goes on and on and on.. sometimes i believe should useful talking about the money involved in publicity on youtube and why some channels become big after night.. maybe they do tens thousand contract with other big you tubers to have shoutout or something like that.. i mean the little "dark side" of you tubers who become big without having something really unique.. just sayin...
