I need advice on some things..

[CraftersMagicYT]

Well, first off, not in this for the money, I am in it to make people happy (Inspired by markimoo and jackiboy!) But, these things do help if I get advice on them!
1. How to promote your YouTube channel/videos WITHOUT looking like a spammer?
2. How to make money, the right way. (Branding, Sponsorships? Heh?)
and any advice on well, how to not let yourself get down because of your low sub count.. But I am happy for all of them who support me!
Have a Craftin' Good Day!

1. Promoting is pretty hard at first. Nobody wants to see you on their youtubers video saying "LOL HEY GUYS COME CHECK ME OUT GREAT VID MAN" or anything like that.

Also don't just post that anywhere. I hate that when people do that on my videos.

You can start off on here and dedicated subreddits. That's a start.

If you are 100% confident your videos are original and not annoying you can try and promote them via youtube itself by giving them money.

2. From the looks of your channel you already have a patreon and stuff. Thought this was not about the money?

Having that up like that with how little of subs you have makes you look bad. Don't do that and just monetize your videos for now.

3. To not get burnt out or discouraged
just make videos
Youtube is something for fun not for profit and if you don't want to make a video DON'T

well unless you have a schedule but if you already missed your days to upload then it's not really that important to you in the first place I guess idk.

I have videos scheduled AT LEAST two weeks in advanced if I feel a rut coming on.

Hope that helps

I know, I do have one, but it's already set up and I did it to just have it there for when I do, if I do, get over 10k or something, Should I take it down? And no, not about the money, just for special events and stuff.. Thanks for the advice!!!

Hey, dude! Here's what I can offer.

1. Stating the obvious first, but whenever you've uploaded something new, share it on every network you can. But don't just link-drop - add a tailored description, so people know you're dedicated to what you've just shared online. If it's been a few days, you can always bump your posts or share again. Posting in here is good, too, as your channel link will be at the bottom of your signature - every time you reply to someone or post a new thread, you're subtly advertising your wares. It takes some time and patience, but believe me, it works.
There are also Tumblr blogs and Facebook groups dedicated to helping out smaller YouTubers - obviously, there are the ones filled with spammers but I know a handful of good ones. Drop me a message if you're game and I'll more than happily share 'em with you, as links aren't allowed on most of these threads.

2. I joined a network a few months in, simply because I'd done my research ages beforehand and wanted to get a foot in the door as early as I could. Obviously, being only a few hundred subscribers strong, it'll be a while before I've earned enough to actually withdraw. I think the thresholds depend on where you are and who you're with, so you'll have to look into that one. The majority of sponsorship deals will come as you're growing, so don't pin all your hopes on those just yet.
As far as I'm aware, most networks won't judge you based on your subscriber count, so don't stress yourself out too much regarding that. Just remember that there are contracts and what have you, so read everything and research as much as you possibly can before making a decision.

3. As for being down on your subscriber count - it's not as important as everyone wants you to think it is. Sure, it might make you seem a little more credible in places, but it's the views and minutes watched that matter. People are more likely to find your video via the browse feature rather than via your channel, so it's highly likely they'll be judging your content based on what it is rather than the person behind it. Those subs will come in time, I promise!

Hopefully this is of some use to you! I'm by no means an expert, but I've learned a few things since being on YouTube. Wishing you all the best with your adventures!

Thank you SO Much for this advice, really helps! I am doing research soon to join a network, they messaged me but you never know what lock in they may have. I currently only share my videos here, I will drop a message and would love the names of the VERY few groups on fb that still have great people! [DOUBLEPOST=1453562575,1453562298][/DOUBLEPOST]
