Hello everyone my name is MagicalBrownies, now i'm not entirely sure this is the correct place to post, however it felt the most appropriate. Anyway to the post, I am a beginning youtuber who has 47 subscribers with a total of 1,057 views. My question for you guys is how does one become known without spamming? It is easy to spam my content everywhere, but it does more harm than good. So how else does one become known, and what would you guys consider spamming? I try to create content that is entertaining and engaging, however it feels no matter how hard I try I slip under the radar and go unnoticed. So if you guys could give me back my feed back i'd be truly grateful!

I have a question for you. What makes a game good? For me, a game is good when time passes by so fast while you play it. There are some games I played where I experience that. I like Conquer Age so much. But when I want a break from too much MMO game, I play my past time game which is the Honeyday Blitz 2. I didn’t think anything of it cus it’s the same gameplay with Candy Crush. The hexagonal layout may be a small thing, but adds a lot more fun. Really gotta look closely for the next move.

Good tagging, being active on youtube by commenting (Not really spam since you won't say "visit my channel!") and advertise yourself in the proper places.
By proper I mean in a gaming forum you can post your gameplays, on Indiedb you could post a video of news (of your own game) or a tutorial video, and so on.

There's so many Youtuber's out there today I think it's getting harder to get traffic to your videos. But I don't mean this in a pessimistic way either. If you make quality content and "market" yourself a bit without spamming you should be able to grow your channel. It might not be fast but eventually the best rise to the top.

Well, for one, having a huge selection of videos usually will attract people. I will watch my favorite youtuber's videos for hours. I will watch other videos, a video after a video, for atleast an hour, come to find they're all by the same YouTuber.

Also, sometimes popular YouTubbers will sponsor you if you can capture their attention, so aim your audience towards the more popular ones?

Tip: I don't care about what's going on about other people's lives (unless it's something cool like you're an assassin who managed to break the US government lol). If your YouTube is about yourself, I won't watch your videos, and I'm sure many others would feel that way. Gaming is acceptable, but it's going to have to be a popular game, and you flavoring that game (to make the video different from others') by using some tactics and work-arounds to beat it that aren't common on YouTube.

I'll be nice if you could get help from other youtubers especially famous ones or someone who has a lot of subcribers and views already so they can share others your videos and tell them to subscribe to you.

Hmm... creating a fan page on Facebook, linking to your YouTube channel and then having some sort of a central portal where you can put all your updates, comments and invite more friends and followers.

You may also benefit from learning the technical side of Youtube marketing - go through some Youtube SEO guides, learn how to write good titles and descriptions and so on. This should bring you more traffic from organic search.
