Upload frequent videos, Share on social media outlets such as facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. , Rank your videos higher by putting relevant keywords in the tags, title, and description, interact with the community by commenting on videos and posting in forums such as this. Never do sub 4 sub, buy views/ subscribers. And most importantly, just create entertaining videos that you enjoy making! There are probably more tips and tricks that you could do, but these are the most important ones from what I can gather

Be original , collaborate with others and be active on forums.

Low amount of traffic for a new channel is usual but you can make a massive difference if you do some or all of the following:

• Make great quality content
• Make videos that your viewers actually want
• Don't rush your videos
• Upload regularly
• Have a set upload schedule (you can make videos in advance and use youtubers schedule tool)
• Interact with your viewers by replying to comments
• Make your channel design stand out
• Learn how to do SEO properly, trust me it helps.
• Write a thorough description
• Have fun and make videos about what you like so it's less boring
• Collaborate with others
• Write a good about page
• Use cards to your advantage
• Use call to actions
• Have end cards in your videos
• Have a good intro
• Have a good channel trailer
• 5 second rule, in each video put a snippet of your most exciting moment first then your intro, if you can't find and exciting moment then rethink the video.
• Watch your video before you upload
• Share your videos across social networks.
• Watch channels like video creators, Darrel eaves, nick nimmin and more.
• Don't make your videos too long.
• Follow your passion. Mine is filmmaking so I have a filmmaking channel but I also have a gaming channel just for fun.

I personally am struggling to grow my channel but I have worked with fairly large creators to help grow their channels and I have previously had big channels myself. The only reason you won't see end screens at the end of most my videos is because it doesn't suit them. But you will find end screens on my gaming videos.
I hope I have helped.

Creating tutorials are a good way for people to search for content. The main reason I have seen gaming channels grow is they have had a tutorial on a specific thing and that gained a high amount of search traffic. Can also try reddit, but you have to be very careful where to post and can get a lot of hate from there.

Tutorials are a great idea @Koala_Steamed tend to stay away from reddit, don't like it at all.

It can be very useful to get discovered, I have most of my views thanks to reddit. You probably need to spend a few weeks using it before you attempt to post your own links though.

Yea I will give it a try. Could you link me to any reddits.
Also, how's the group coming along. Got any word on it? (The one from the conversation)

 

[Koala_Steamed]

Mainly just avoid the generic subreddits or anything that is there for just promoting. Find one that is specific to your channel. Best way is to google "reddit and name topic"

This, but I will add a few 'don'ts' to this mix.

DO NOT

• Self-Advertise, it attracts people that do the thing below, which hurts your channel.
• Use any metric sharing 'techniques' (Sub4Sub, view4view, etc.)
• Make a video that makes you think "that'll do...", only make great.

Be originial and tell others about your work like on here on the forums, that helps me

 

[SilencedShadow 1HK]

not much to say, but if anyone has any tips to help my channel get noticed more it'd be really appreciated. I'd like it if someone could possibly review my channel and see what I could change or improve on. Work I make is slightly similar to Tyrannicon (My favorite utuber and inspiration). Note: I'm trying to go for an All Dark Souls 3 Channel at the moment. Thanks if anyone could help out Freedom Family. I'd appreciate getting noticed just as much as anyone else, we are Freedom Family, let us help eachother grow.

I'm in the same position i recently started creating content and was looking for ways to get noticed, i think social media and forums are a big part but just trying to constantly improve the quality of your videos is bound to get you somewhere at least that's what i'm trying to do.

For a gaming channel is may be a tough job to grow as many people have one, besides that new games are mostly taken by the bigger channels.

But! If the passion is burning then everything is possible, most important in my opinion is that you need to know what way you want to walk. Wich direction do you want to take with your channel? Once you have a plan start out with 1 or 2 games you like to play and complete it into a series. Along the road maybe make a montage of the some of your best moments to add some spice.

Besides that alot of tips already have been said above but stay dedicated and motivated while making your content.

What you could also try to do is livestream from time to time to attract some additional audience
