I finally hit 500 subscribers! :D
I am going at a crazy rate right now!
I hit 300 on the 1st of Feb, 400 on the 15th and today 500! :)
I went from 100 a month to 100 a fortnight to 100 a week!
Very happy :)

Keep working at it guys - it pays off!
Plus I just made a channel trailer which I think helped a ton :)

Nice Job! It's exciting to see your channel grow so quickly. You have to tell me what your doing to get your channel growing like that but congratulations I'm happy for you and your channel.

I worked so hard on that trailer - I think it really helped my channel :)

Mostly it's HARD work!
I treat YouTube as a full time job now. But here are some big things I do:

1. Spend 1-2 hours every night commenting on other peoples videos offering them advice, feedback or simply encouragement. When conversation sparks I often lead them to my channel in a hopefully no-spammy way.
It sounds annoying but when I do this I gain 10-30 subs a night!

2. Upload regularly: I upload 2-3 times a week and try to be consistent. I also try to make every video count and be high quality. I started using end screens and annotations - as well as interacting with viewers and asking them to like, sub and comment etc.

3. Get to know other youTubers in your Niche on a personal scale.
I am doing collabs with others travel vloggers and even meeting them when I visit their countries.

4. Keep solid check of Social Blade:
I check mine multiple times a day. My goal is to keep going UP.
2 months ago my future projection for 5 years time was 3000 subs.
Today it hit 15,000 subs in 5 years.
I keep working harder until it will say 150,000 subs and so on.

5. Set bigger and better goals:
In january I wanted to reach 100 subs in 1 month... I did it.
Then in February I wanted to hit 200 subs in 1 month... I did it 1 week early.
In march I want to hit 400 subs in 1 month... Here's to the new challenge.

Having a specific goals makes you more determined.
Saying 10,000 in 1 year is vague.
So I say 100 in 1 week! It's more accurate and makes you work harder as you only have 1 week to achieve it rather than an entire year!
Pressure is your best friend!

6. Watch how other YouTubers do it - see how they grow and try to repeat their marketing techniques.
