How do you Promote your Youtube Channel?

[J.rizzo091]

Here is a super interesting topic! i have been on youtube for 5 years. 2 years for my most recent channel. i have 238 subscribers, and then there are others who have been on as long as me with 100,000 subs. i put many hard hours into the channel trying to make it the best channel that i can. and lately i feel i have been putting up amazing content! the only sad thing is i put in so much effort only to have my videos never seen for example i made a video call don't touch that a few weeks ago. it is a video based of the v/h/s movies but with a twist. and i love it so much but it only has like 114 views. i just find that heart breaking. i guess the point im trying to make is what does someone have to do to start getting some exposure? also how do you promote your channel? I really want to make youtube a career.

I'm promoting my channel right now, by posting on these forums with my trailer in the signature :O I also post it on social media sites like Twitter, Google+ Tumblr, and I tell my friends that are subbed to me about any new videos I upload.

And that's pretty much it.

I too want to make YouTube a career. Rather than just starting my channel, I'm waiting to launch it until September. That way, I can build the hype a little before hand. Works like a charm

I find the most important thing for me is to upload every single day This forum has also done wonders for me.

Making friends who do similar videos to you, and doing collabs and whatnot can help, as well as give you a friend on the same journey as you so you don't feel like alone on the ride

I can't wait! I'm somehow excited for it.

Also, try sites social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon or Digg?

I just advertise on every social networking site that I can. Though I feel your pain. I put many hours of hard work into my videos every week, but yet I don't seem to be getting too far with it. You'll find something that will help you gain more exposure though, I'm sure of it!
