Getting videos out there?

I agree with every thing you said, except Reddit. Reddit hasn't done anything for me personally but waste my time, others might have better luck so I can't speak on that. AJBBB knows his stuff so you're right on point. BTW I haven't see you around much, nice to see you. :)

Agreed. If you want thumbs down and empty views that merit no channel growth it's awesome.
 
Hey everyone. I have a question. How does one go about actually getting their videos viewed?

Yes, I know good quality content, consistency, branding, etc, are important for expanding a fanbase and keeping the viewers you already have entertained. However, that will matter only after you actually get some people to see some of your videos in the first place. How do you get those initial views?

I usually post my new videos in forums that are about similar interests to what my videos are (dog forums, time lapse forums). My most popular videos are just randomly stumbled upon though, lol
 
I have some tips for you regarding with what i done. 1. and i think that this one has helped me out the most and has taken me very far.... NEVER make enimies on youtube give your self a good face on youtube such asbeing friendly and taking the time to acknowoege other peoples work with this people actually check out nice faces :-). Another is that try to have something for your viewers external from youtube such as a twitter i know that people always say use twitter in order to post your videos out their to gain more viewers but if you ever look compare a twitter account to someone who interacts with his followers to another person who has youtube just automatically update for them. exactly the one who interacts has followers who only not breathe for his content but also for his tweets. Another thing is you can always collab with others and get out there. But i can serious thank my senior chief for passing the basic tip onto me but i had to find the different ways in order to make sure it was beneficial. OVERALL: Try to have a friendly face in everything you do bro. Hope this helps you bro.
 
me being a rapper i get my views with similar videos searches

i do remixes and stuff and they see my video on the similar videos section thats how they view my videos, it has to do a lot with tagging and keywords especially the title you used
 
hey man does the video response method actually work?
as long as your video is similar to the video you post it on it does sometimes, I'm guessing one of the reasons one of my videos views wen't really high is because I video responded it on 3 pages worth of DLC information videos by big youtubers (did a youtube search for Revolution DLC) and just video responsed it on all the videos with over 1k views :)

Have you tried video responsing to smaller videos? if so can you let me know how it went :-)

so far no.. mainly because people normally turn if off because they're trying to keep people on their videos and don't want to lose a potential viewer to another channel :)

Hey man thanks a ton for responding lol i will try to do a video response but peole now a days lock it so others wont steal there subs and all lol but i will try:-)
