I might write up a guide for another thread, but in short:
- Make content that I'd want to subscribe to if I found it, and I'll be honest, I don't subscribe to a lot.
- Post regularly. Shows not just returning subscribers but new visitors that you're the real deal and worth subscribing to.
- Reply to comments, make people feel welcome! You want people to like you and your videos so much that they'll wanna share your videos with others!
- Post anywhere you can that's appropriate! Reddit, Google+, Twitter are my main ones. Reddit is a ballache but you can get lucky if your videos are up to scruff.
- Look professional. Clean looking channel art, production, everything you can clean up, do it. I've had a lot of comments tell me how surprised they were that I didn't have 100k+! Not saying that to sound douchey, but you want to look the best you can!
- Be topical. For example, I do reviews, and while reviewing old shows is alright, my most successful videos are the ones that are timely. I posted my Mr Robot review the day after the season finished and it's not only my best video, but at the top of the Youtube search, so still rakes me in views and subscribers.
- Reasonable SEO. Strong keywords in the title, repeat them in the description, the first tags you use are the strongest so make sure if your video is titled 'Doctor Who Review' or whatever, you'll want 'doctor who' 'review', or even 'doctor who review' as your FIRST tag. Beyond that I don't research best keywords, just put in a few that I think I'd personally would search for if I was cruising around on Youtube, that's relevant to the video.
- Have a strong focus for your channel. The channels I see that do the worst are the ones that aren't quite sure of what they want to do. You want to be able to easily explain your channel to someone in one sentence. I.E. I make TV reviews on a season by season basis, accompanied by cute animations! DONE. A strong focus also means that subscribers know EXACTLY what they're getting when they sign up to following your channel.
- Thumbnails! Custom ones that are pretty and not too busy!

Probably loads of other points I could make, but that's what's worked for me so far. Really need to start doing more collaborations but I'm doing alright so far :)
