First of all I would never say you should spam bigger channels like that - as most often or not that would just land up in someone's spam filter on YouTube and the comment would automatically be deleted / removed. I know it can seem very difficult getting your content viewed when your first starting out but you improve your chances by : -
- Taking time to fill out your meta data - this means writing good descriptions, that mention the game / thing your doing in the video
- Utilising the tag feature and note down things that might lead people to the video, again this will improve your SEO (or Search Engine Optimisation) but will also potentially lead to you showing up on recommended feeds
- Make sure you have taken some time to ensure your videos are of a good quality before releasing them, at the early stage and indeed during your YouTube career I would always stress the need for quality videos instead of quantity. If people see you take time to produce, and edit your videos they are more likely to return
- Give them a reason to come back - No that doesn't mean bribe them or offer giveaways based on your performance, but entertain them with your videos, don't make them bland and boring but sell yourself to the audience.

I know how you feel. I'm having that issue myself, and I've tried a few different ways. Starting off, the best and safest way to advertise is "word of mouth"
Tell people you know to check out your channel, and ask them if they would tell people they know. 3 friends tell 3 friends, so on and so on. I would definitely stay away from spamming big channels because it comes off as desperate and also rude to the channel you're advertising on because that's their content. It'd be like going to Subway and eating Mcdonald's in front of the owner.

@zeke morgan said it best in his post. When it comes to utilizing tags, there are many Chrome extensions you could get to help you; one specifically is vidIQ that assist you in tagging, statistics, etc. I also recommend using Rapidtags.io to find specific tags for your video.

Other big things are covered in above posts:

• Use social media. Use #FreedomFamily on Twitter and Freedom! will retweet you!
• Use as many relevant tags as possible. As I said earlier, Rapidtags.io is great.
• Create quality content. Don't just sit there and play the game without speaking to your audience, or act dull. Be interactive.
• Tell your friends and family.
  • True story: I told a lot of my coworkers that I create YouTube content, and two of them are actively watching my content and giving my constructive feedback when we're working.
• Be original in what you do. It's one thing to be inspired by other creators, but blatantly copying them isn't going to get you anyway.
• Be yourself. It may be something you've been told many times, but I promise it is absolutely necessary. If you don't enjoy something, don't do it for a video. Your viewers can tell if you aren't into the game, project, or whatever your video is on.

I wish you the best of luck with your channel @MrJ!

I would use a decent amount of tags, shoutouts and you could design clothes and buy them thats a good way of promoting I would go to redbubble. And tell your friends and they might laugh but they will sub and watch especially if you get big. Good luck!

The most common source is social media but I would say networking. Get to know people who share the same interests on Twitter for example. Communicate on the forums and get known
