Gateway videos.

I did in my guide, basically they're semi-viral videos with a wide audience.

Cool! Now I just gotta get to that self-sustaining stage... I'm still in the ******* out stage. LOL

I disagree, you have 300+ subscribers, you're in the very slow growth stage.
I would aim for getting gateway videos at this point if I were you.

Thanks for the input, but my subscriber stats are messed... I was using a sub-4-sub service when I first launched my channel, until I realized it was a violation of TOS. I probably actually have 100-150 legit subscribers. Not sure if that changes anything.

I used a sub4sub before I got into Youtube, I wanted to see how many subs I could get. Then I ended up with 2000 inactive subscribers.
So out of my ~15000 subscribers, only 13000 of them are active.

Well, what's worse is that my sub-4-sub's are fakes, I'm pretty sure. Like I keep losing them at a steady rate of 2-3 a day, mostly due to closed accounts (according to Analytics).
So for example, even though I had 50+ new subs in April, it only shows that I had a net gain of 6, because almost the same number of phoney bot subscribers dropped off. (My sub count has been hovering right around the 350-360 mark since mid-March)
I've heard as a rule of thumb that your views on a new uploaded video in its first few days will be equal to 25-50% of your total subscriber base, and a typical video I upload will get 50-75 views in its first 72-96 hours... so I'm guessing I have about 100-150 real subscribers.
