Why it is hard to make minecraft videos noticed.

[Lilikoi Juice]

Everyone does Minecraft but what sets it apart is the quality and content. Another thing is that it is harder to get noticed for your videos because there are so many people doing the same type of thing.

Let's be honest, tutorials are really not a good way to get subscribers (or atleast active ones) tutorials are a one-time thing unless you come up with very unique redstone complex hypersutemonesncetromentice designs FTW

It's just an easy way to get views and i dont enjoy them really. However you're completely right on the let's play part... Nobody is scrolling down 100,000 pages to view your video! - My channel is getting a decent 40-50 views a video and i love it!

Hey guys I just wanted to talk about my opinion on minecraft videos. Minecraft videos are just getting more and more popular and most of the big youtubers already made videos about it. That makes it really hard to have lets plays and stuff popular. That does not mean that no one should make minecraft videos, I think that if you add originality to your videos (Cinematics, Advanced Tutorials, ETC) and you promote it right it will add attention to it. Like I said doing a basic lets play or mod spotlight wont work because it has been done so many times. Well that is my opinion, let me know what you guys think!

When i type in 'Minecraft' i get 84.500.000 results!!! Your video will be lost in the sea of all the other millions minecraft video's and besides most people already have there favorite youtubers and have no reason to check someone else video's, unless you do something completely original!

True, but it might be a great first step in getting a few views and rising up the search rankings even if it isn't what you plan on doing in the long run.

Edit: Don't forget about SEO either I bet 2/3 of Minecraft videos are uploaded with the hope they will be found instead of actually working to get them found.

Too many people do JUST Mnecraft now. Then they just post the videos and walk away without trying to spread the word, just expecting to get noticed.

lets take a drink for example.
You are a new brand of cola, nobody knows who you are..but you are put beside the big brands like pepsi and coke. so when people come looking for cola they will grab a bottle of the brand they know and like. Sometimes a person will take the risk and take yours if they see it, and if they like it they make continue to buy it, soon word may spread and you will have some people buying it

Apply that to minecraft videos, lol and you got it!

I think the best thing to use in YouTube/Google's keyword tool. When I looked on there recently, the most searched Minecraft related videos in the past month are hunger games. If you use to help direct what content you create, it will probably help you on your way.

And to be honest, the whole of the gaming scene is hard to get into because it has a much lower buy-in rate to get started with decent equipment. By by-in rate, I mean the amount of money you have to spend to really get started with a decent audio and visual quality.

I agree completely with this statement! However I think that has become somewhat of a lost art (if that even works), people seem to have forgotten how to spread the word. They seem to think, posting on a popular YouTubers video, gets them subscribers.
