I started here, now I've got 37,000 subscribers, ask me anything.

I have a niche channel that focuses on emergency preparedness and survival information and gear reviews. When I started out, I signed up for EVERY forum I could find on the subject and even ones that remotely had a relationship to the subject. I would then post each video in these forums. It was a LOT of work, but I quickly gained subscribers and views. Persistence pays off.

When I tried something like that I would probably end up getting banned.

Whether I am right or wrong, my SEO is simple. I start typing the main topics of the video into the YouTube search bar and add into the tags what YouTube suggests. For example, I recently did a video on "How to pick a lock". I typed in "How to pick a lock" and added in everything YouTube suggested.

Thanks, i think i might try this out and hopefully it will get me to grow even more more faster on Youtube!! :)

Do you mean the titles of the videos that Youtube suggested and you added it in to the tags??? And how many titles do you add before moving on to another main topic of the video? And does the videos usually ends up on the 1st page of the search results near to the top when people are searching for that video????

Remember Youtube only allows a certain number of tags that you can add on each video...

Not the titles of the videos that youtube suggests, but the searches. As far as where my videos appear, it depends. I have some that are right at the top and some that are not. I think that when a video is launched initially, youtube looks at the stats, watch time, retention percentage, etc., if the algorithms feel the video will do better than the one that is currently ranked number one, you'll get your shot...but that is just me guessing.
 
Congrats on the success of your channel. Did you get many death threats? If so how did you handle them?

Hi folks, been at the YouTube thing for almost three years, haven't been here in a while. Lots of folks here helped me when I started out, so I figured I would start a thread to help others who are just starting or struggling. Maybe something shared here will get you over the hump. Ask me anything.

Do you have any tips for gaining and keeping subscribers?
