Hi, there! Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaptaaaaaaaaaaaain Ros here!
Today I decided to help some of you with few advises. I have a little experience with how the things are actually working in gaming and the funny thing is that I'm not doing that in my english channel! But I'm gonna try it, ofc! So... let's begin! A little pre-story.
I have a bulgarian channel in which I'm talking on my native language. I started all back in March-April 2011with videos and now I have 28k+ subscribers and over 8mln views. So... in the beginning I used to make only playthroughs, when my channel grown up and had something like 10k subs I started to make montages of games, fewer playthroughs, more funny montages (shorter videos) and q&a, and the people were crazy about it! I achieved a rate of over 1500 subs a month and it's still going on but now I'm giving up that channel because of the reason I mentioned in "Introduce Yourself" thread. So... I tried the tactic with uploading 2 videos a day, but it seems that this didn't worked quite well!
My advise to you, from my own experience is(but from a country where there's not that much a big competition), that if you're gonna make a gaming channel, create shorter videos with more funny stuff. That's what people love! Thus, hopefully when you reach high amount of subs, you can calmly make a playthrough of your favourite game for example. Recently I started again to make playthroughs and get something around 2-3 k views per a new video, and opposed to the shorter videos and montages... they're having something in the range of 6-20k views average, per month, and you can see the difference. But take a note, that now.. we have Pewds, Marki and hundreds like them, but don't give up. You don't know what's gonna be your luck tomorrow!
Conclusion:
1. Make shorter videos (because when people see you for the first time, they're totally not gonna stay 30 minutes to watch you unless you're super charming lady with big eyes)
2. More funny stuff = bigger chance to get a sub (of course not everyone are into the fun stuff, so they're not on youtube)
3. One video a day is enough
4. When grow up - Q&A is a great idea, I mean... funny Q&A is a wonderful idea ^_^. Video Q&A? Oh, I'm wet (that what she saaa... okey, Im stopping)
5. Different thumbnails (don't leave the video with youtube custom thumbnail or just using only one over and over again)
6. Catchy title (but not "WHAT A BIG BOOBS" and in the video the only thing the people are gonna see is a graffiti "WHAT A BIG BOOBS")
7. Description (please, read another thread)
8. Play different games (search, ask people, bribe the companies... no, without the last one)
9. Don't play minecraft! (ofc if u don't want to have 1 mln subs in a week!
)

So we really can't go put something others love. Someday someone will really love the different games she's playing and how funny she commentates and how she really is happy and inspired on what she's doing that is the most priority for us. Although she really wants to have a million subs. Actually not everyone will love what you offer so you just have to wait for the right people to come. In my experience you should make your contents better first. Play different games that children loves then that's the only time you should advertise it to kids..
