I doubt I will get many new subs, but I'll get a lot of views. I'm more of an individual video type of person, I don't expect all of my videos to be hits. But the ones that I do think are awesome, I push to the masses. I have a feel for what "viral" sites and other big pages will share, so I don't waste my time on pushing mediocre videos, this can make them ignore me.
All I said was "adorable 7 week old puppy falling in slow motion" and posted the link which is what I sent out to multiple people from different sites. She must have watched that video and then saw my other video either as a suggestion or she went to my channel, not sure exactly but she posted a different video than what I sent her. Now here's what the stats look like about 48 hours later on a video that only had 4,000 views over 5 months previous! I'm assuming each new spike was another site that saw their shared post and then re-shared it, this happened to one of my other videos that I shared with a different site a while back. I'm anxious to see my analytics when they update to see what other sites shared. I know the American Kennel Club Facebook page shares videos from this site all the time, they shared a video about 10 ahead of mine yesterday and it received over 6,000 Facebook likes within an hour, so hopefully they share mine next! The other one was also a Dalmatian video, so here's hoping!
How would a gaming channel find things like this? A gaming website probably? 
Most people who watch certain content have a go to site for finding the best content to watch. I'm assuming you watch some other gaming videos? If so, I'm sure you have that one or two places either on Facebook or somewhere else that posts their favorite stuff where you find content. This is a good place to start. I always notice when bigger sites like the AKC and some of the really popular dog sites or other pages post certain stuff with tons of views and likes. If it's something similar to my content, I just do detective work to find the source that they found it from and see if I can find a way to submit. I found the site that posted my video because one, I saw they posted one of my videos from my analytics, and two, I see a couple of the sites I frequent post their articles all the time. I just got the idea to try to find an actual author instead of going to their "submit" section a while back with little success, but just recently I started testing the waters with multiple authors on a few big sites again. So far this is the best results I've got from this method. Hopefully she will post some stuff I send her in the future, I don't want to spam her or else she may start to ignore my posts.Thank you for being awesome!
