How to get popular on YouTube

It's hard to do, becoming popular on YT. Facebook/Twitter help out, but I think networking with other YouTubers (that have a similar type of channel) will pay off in the long run. And a bit of luck!
 
I have always believed that if you can get ONE video that speaks for the greater good, that people will share and share and go wow, that guy is SOOOO right, that you will not only grab views from tons of people on that video, but people will also explore to see who YOU are. From there, you have a great shot of getting more subscribers and views. Of course I have never attempted this, just an observation. Hard work can only get you so far unless people are willingingly sharing ur video.
 
That's very true, having 1 very successful video or videoseries will make people stick around. First they just subscribe for that specific series, but the more they see of you, the more they like other stuff you do as well. That's pretty much how my youtube experience has grown. (as a subscriber, not a video creator) I used to watch gaming channels just for the gameplay, but after a while I just watch because I really like the person who made the video.

For example, since I'm mostly subscribed to gaming channels, I started watching xJawz for his gameplay. After a while I found other gamers like Ons1augh7, WoodysGamertag, etc. Now I hardly ever watch any xJawz videos, because I was only interested in him for the gameplay. But I watch 100% of Ons1augh7's or Woody's videos, just beacuse I like watching and listening to them for who they are. I even watch videos about games I 'm not interested in whatsoever, but if they're the people talking over it, I'll watch it for them, not the games. And I think that's how a lot of channels can grow.

I also hope that my How To Win FFA series is going to be the step in the right direction for me. When I look at my RTC Live commentary games, I get about 30-40 views. But my least popular FFA video has 62 views right now, and the most popular one has 143. So that's a much more popular series, and I hope that can make people subscribe for the FFA videos, and stick around for me. :)
 
I'm hoping I get better at making videos, and that if the quality of my videos improve, that with time I will get more attention/views/subs.

Plus being an active member sounds like a solid theory.
 
To get subs and ultimately viewer's you have to be improving your videos all the time. Viewers will see you making these improvements and with it will see that your passionate about what you create. If you show pasion someone somewhere will show the same passion in coming back and viewing your videos. With time this audience will grow and will share your videos with others.

Thats exactly how I see it.
 
I'd tell them to make Original Content and make video's that they enjoy watching!, I'd also tell them to interact with people on YouTube!, as in, talk to a load of people and make friends!
