I know, AUDIO SOUND SUCKS! Well I'll improve that later since I have lots of videos that will be uploaded soon with better Audio Quality. But what I'm asking for here is how to promote my channel better.
So far my Social Media ( and other websites) are:
1. Twitter
2. Twitch
3. Yttalk
4. Damnlag
5. Skype
6. ( I never use this) Discord

I got into Social Media thinking I will get more Subs by doing these but I don't really think they are helping at all! Do you guys know ways on promoting these channels? Please reply to this thread if you know.
 
Nice channel you have there mate keep up the good work, maybe do some lets plays of new games in the future but thumbnails look good.
 
My thoughts are that you should be doing your title, tags, description, closed captions, etc., to generate as much traffic from Youtube Search as you can. Because that's basically free traffic that you'll keep getting as long as people are searching for your subject matter.

Everything else requires work on your end (e.g., posting on various social media).

But if you do post on social media, then I think you need to do so purposively. For example, I would say you should advertise and promote your videos to targeted communities. I don't get why people try to promote their videos on sites like these (or various Youtube Google+ pages or whatever) because it seems that sites like these are general purpose forums...so you're not too likely to find people who are specifically interested in your content.

However, as was mentioned before, if you get a subreddit that is specific to your content, and then you make sure to become a regular contributor (a lot of subreddits are not fans of people who just self-promote, so you'll want to have 90% content that's not self-promotion vs 10% your own stuff), then that can be effective. Same thing with Google+ or Facebook groups...find communities and groups that are specific to your niche.

I think social media and social networks have to be seen as social -- I mean, that's in the name. So, instead of just blasting out your content, you have to do real work to become a regular member of communities. I tweet out my videos from Twitter, but far more of my Twitter is me replying to other creators about their stuff, their comments, their random life events. Yeah, I'd eventually like it if they checked out my Twitter and subscribed to my channel, but if they don't, that's OK, because I'm still having those conversations.
