Previous thread got closed, and it may be best to to start this new so people can understand it better.
Per YouTube rules, you cannot force someone to subscribe for an entry. This is something I can agree with. What's the use of having a subscriber that doesn't want to be there?
But you can incentivize people to subscribe, and this is perfectly legal. This is what makes Gleam successful. People can enter contests without having to do anything, but they can get bonus entries for different actions. This is what I used, but it is still just part of the equation .
I engrained in a community and contributed. I would be considered an expert, and would give people advice and actively help then out in game. I also do giveaways for in game items or currency. I later bumped that up to an item that everyone could want.
All in the meantime I was still creating content for the game, and getting positive feedback. All of this matters not if you have nothing to stand on.
There is more to it, but I wanted to show that done right, giveaways can be a huge boost to your channel. In fact, I'm going to do another one starting today. I hope this helps.
