Just wanted to share my personal milestone of 350 subs and 66K views! I owe much of the latter to a Lindsey Stirling choreography video I put up for kicks years before I started taking YouTube seriously - just goes to show that sometimes your biggest hits are the ones you least expect. So while...

Well said. I just need to figure out how to find local YouTubers who are dedicated and share interests. Hmm..

I appreciate it; thank you! Actually makes me feel good not having an obvious weak spot. I'll toy with some new designs for sure (was already looking into it anyway). Exposure has always been my biggest challenge. I mean, Facebook is anti-YouTube, so that's always rough, but I'll keep searching...

Hey everyone! First let me say thank you for checking this out; while I tend to get pretty positive feedback, I rarely seem to get constructive ideas on what I can do to make my content better. I started my channel properly in March of 2014 (just a few months before joining Freedom!). And...

Good advice also! And with your success, it's proven haha. Quality content may be one of the biggest ones, technical details aside. You could have the best filming setup and fantastic editing, the works - but if people don't feel engaged or entertained enough to stick around, it won't do much...

Good points! I made a similar post with specifics on how to post successfully on Facebook. Social Media is your best friend. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc are all good outlets. And as I pointed out in my post (https://freedom.community.tm/threads/how-to-get-more-views-money.174781/#post-798613)...

Good advice! I befriended a fantastic YouTuber who has found lots of success with her methods and viewpoints. She inspired me to try new ways to film my videos and I've learned a lot. Hopefully we can even do some collaborations in the future too. Even if it doesn't lead to more than...

PROTIP: I bought a Razr Kraken headset to use in recording audio for my gaming videos (since relatively abandoned) - but I wanted to share this HUGE important tip: I had so many issues with corrupt files recording (via Fraps, for instance) - IF YOU HAVE ISSUES RECORDING WITH THE KRAKEN...

You're very welcome! I'd love to hear how it goes - you and anyone else. These are just some tips that I've learned from experience. Would be great to hear if it works for others too, as well as any other tips you've learned from trying to gain exposure. It's a warzone out there.

Thank you! I know a lot of people struggle on exposure. It's not an easy thing or "one trick fixes all" situation, but I've learned a LOT about social media and algorithms, especially with Facebook. Dirty bastards. If you even mention YouTube in a comment or link, they find ways to limit it's...

CONGRATULATIONS! 1000 is a huge milestone! I can't wait to hit that mark, or even 500. It's been a slow but steady climb for me. Here's to another thousand, and more! :)

I can't see why a screenshot would be grounds for flagging - YouTube (more or less) states that if your content serves to enhance the original material or add to it in a quantifiable manner, you should be in the clear. I agree, try to appeal it and give reasons why. After all, anyone can grab a...

That depends largely on your content. In my experience, I've seen a ton of gaming channels go under simply because it's such a flooded market. So if that's your niche', you've got to bring something very special to the table. It's part of the reason I don't often do gaming videos. Otherwise, my...

Always a good start; I like to stay up-to-date with my clients, showing in-progress and concept changes as we go. But it's imperative you see examples of their work for other clients too - maybe even contact them and ask about their experience with said artist if you're still iffy. Either way, I...

Thanks everyone! That means a lot to me :). Here's hoping it only gets better!

So I started YouTube almost 2 years ago; not a clue what I was doing or even how to film/light properly. But here I am, with muuuuch better production value and a proper camera, and over 300 subscribers! I think I've found my niche, which definitely took some time and experimenting. I've made...

Among my videos, I've started a new series called "Synopsis", where I discuss issues in social media, in 30 seconds or less :) Today's video, for example: Are the Oscars Racist?

There might be a way to refute the claim of needing an age restriction. Depends on the content though - YouTube's terms may specifically list something that was labelled as age-sensitive. Got an example by chance?

What's the problem?

Long story short: You can usually get away with an intro's worth of copyright song; the unofficial rumor is that you can use up to 15-20 seconds of a song before YouTube recognizes it as copyright. HOWEVER - if YouTube detects it, or the artist files a claim, you could easily lose monetization...
