Been making videos for a Month! How am I doing?

Yeah, I gotta agree with everyone: you're videos are great. The charisma is there, your comedic timing is on-pace along with the cuts, everything looks good! Lighting is on the dark side but not a huge deal.

Really, just promote a good bit at this point I think. You should be able to get at least 100 subs by just promoting a decent amount in the neat future. Post your junk food video in some junk food or food subreddit (don't know what exists exactly, but I'm sure there's something like that).

Tips/Advice:

- You should change your channel layout, the whole featured videos/playlists front-page that you see bigger YouTubers using is really a must these days and channels look very unprofessional/new when they don't use it. So I'd recommend setting that up.
- Start using some long tail tags (i.e. for your how to wrap a christmas gift video, "How to wrap a christmas gift" and "How to wrap a christmas present" would work great as tags)
- Do more videos! Even if you aren't able to make such high quality videos consistently with high frequency in future, when your channel is new it helps to have a larger number of videos for people to watch so that they have more of a chance to decide they like you and it's worth subscribing. So if you can grab some free time to rush out a few extra videos over the next week or two than you initially had planned it'll really help.
- Fill in your channel's about page since this affects what people see when they hover over your name in comments on other videos or over your channel name in search etc. Just a basic description of who you are, what the channel's about, and how often you upload is good.

Literally the only problem I can find with your channel is that you haven't optimised it for SEO/search engine optimisation that much yet, i.e. the advice I suggested above - the videos are great and funny, your camera and audio quality are great, and you present them really well. If you get your SEO in order and keep uploading this kind of quality over a regular basis then your channel will absolutely be sure to succeed!

Hope this helps and best of luck! Keep up the great work!

Also almost forgot, yes do make a channel trailer, it looks like you have the editing skills to make something good. Check out Fan Finder and how you can use it to get YouTube to advertise your channel ad (usually the same as your channel trailer) for free: https://www.youtube.com/yt/fanfinder/

Seriously man, I am a pretty critical person, and I just have nothing. I really shouldn't be giving you tips. You are funny, you're creative, and you keep the video entertaining through the entirety of it all. I really don't know what took you so long to start making videos, but I think there's a nice spot waiting for you in the uppers.

Wow! Thank you very much! Yeah I have actually been making different types of videos on like 6 different channels for the past 5 years but none of it was consistent or comedy. This is the first time I am committing to making more personal comedy content and doing it consistently, so I am very appreciative of your comment. Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it.[DOUBLEPOST=1451760030,1451759970][/DOUBLEPOST]
