I wish that was the case or atleast people would like my content, but it's not something a lot of people would like.

Getting to a 1000 subscribers is not just about having 1000 people who are genuinely interested in your content but it helps your page to rank higher in YT searches.

Well if everybody had 1k subscribers from the start you still wouldn't stand out and YouTube's algorithms still wouldn't care about you. Subscribers come from views not the other way round. The algorithm mainly rewards you for watch time and not for dead subscribers.
 
I personally don't like the idea of that. I want to feel the sense of accomplishment when 1000 people subscribe to me from genuinely liking my content. If your content is good enough, you will get that 1000+ no matter what.

Subscribers are important, but you are killing your channel if all your getting are subscribers that don't watch your videos. I think having more subscribers does help with SEO, but if your someone that has 50,000 subscribers and only 50-180 views (I've seen this) Youtube will not care about that person having 50,000 subscribers. Youtube is in it for the views because that is what brings in the money.


However, if the channel has 1,000 subscribers and gets 5,000 views per video Youtube will promote that channel so it can get more views. With those new viewers that channel will gain new subscribers. Which is what I think happened with PewDiePie. He had a couple thousand subscribers and Millions of views. Youtube saw that PewDiePie had potential to get more views so they promoted his channel. Now look were he is. The poster boy of Youtube.

Thank you for your post. That makes a lot of sense. A youtuber just have to find that sweet spot[DOUBLEPOST=1456839292,1456839242][/DOUBLEPOST]

I support the idea of helping my community grow, but not supporting my communities rise. What I mean by this is I and other's should help each other learn to grow as individuals and as a business, So i'll gladly help you get better as I would hope you would help me improve my work. But unless I like your work or it pertains to me as a audience member I won't help you rise to fame. Even If I don't think your content is for me, that doesn't mean I won't give you any advice I can to help you improve your channel.

I hope that wasn't too confusing ^.^

My point though, I'd rather you not be watching my stuff if you aren't into it and vice versa. but I will help you ever you ask and I know the information you need!

Yea. This post solidifies that there is no easy road to success. Just make quality content continuously and the hard work will be rewarded.
 
As on every social media or streaming site it is very hard at the beginning to get ur stuff out to some people. But the more u create and be a part of it, the more u will evolve urself and ur channel, because over time some people may stumble on it and can find it actually great :)
 
As someone who occasionally obsesses over Subscribers, or my lack thereof, this is a very difficult situation.
I've helped others get over the 1,000 subscriber mark, and I'm glad to do so. I only subscribe to those channels which add value to my life, and I try to show appreciation by commenting and sharing when appropriate. When I come from a place of service and giving, instead of subscriber counts and monetization, I feel better.

Think about this - would you rather have 1,000 silent subscribers or 100 engaged, passionate subscribers?
I will always choose the latter.

Good luck on your journey!

I think I will never reach 100 subs, It has been so difficult to get people to subscribe and 90% of my subs are dead subscribers.

Do you think that community members do enough to help each other grow? I don't think so. Should community members sub to fellow smaller YT channels to help each pass the 1000 mark goal?

I agree to an extent, like I believe you need to build a support system of people around you to help you grow. BUT I also think just having people subscribe to your channel for no reason is quite silly. Reason being if i go to someones channel, and they have 1k subs but -100 views then in my opinion they look like a complete clown.
 
Do I feel like its a necessary thing? Yes. Is it being done? I feel like 70% of the time it's not.

I personally enjoy checking out other YouTubers who post on here because I'm interested to see how THEY run thier channel and how THEY produce content and if I enjoy it/like it I'll sub

Not only does it support them but it also gives me motivation to record aswell. If he can do it so can I.
