I has now been 4 months since I started.. almost 2 months since I started streaming.. I am at my wits end and I am giving up... My subs have stayed at the same.. My follows have stayed at the same.. I think I have reach my limit of people who actually wanna support me. Thank you freedom for helping me try to live out my dream but without the support from the people who said theyd support me I cannot even begin to try and make a career out of streaming and youtube videos.. So u may see me around on the threads to talk to people.. Maybe even post a video every once in awhile.. But I am giving up on this dream. It's a dead end dream. Thanks freedom and freedom family!

sorry to hear that voltage. don't give up though, just make youtubing and streaming as a hobby for now. there are tons of people doing the same thing. so chances getting known are very slim.

It's just because there are already so many really popular people doing so many different games it's hard to find that game that someone big hasn't already done and has a million views... or even a thousand... Makes it hard for smaller channels to do anything.

As long as you keep working at it you'll never be at a dead end. Keep improving, try different things, asses where you might be going wrong. Quality content always has a way of surfacing, just keep working at it.

Nothing worth having comes easy. These are difficult times, but it's not impossible. If anything, succeeding during such times will make you stronger than those who got the fame in a short time very easy, cause people always appreciate the hard work that a person has gone through than the success that they got. That is what makes a person so special, and that is trying.
Not everyone is gonna succeed, but at least think about what you have done thus far. Did you make someone happy with your videos? Did you enjoy the experience of making videos and enjoying the games that you did on your channel? If you did, than there is no reason to just give up on making videos for your pleasure, as a hobby, as something that you truly like and which made you start doing youtube in the first place.

If you want to make something happen then quitting is the last thing you want to do. The only thing that that you guarantee by quitting is that you'll never be able to make something out of this.

Nothing ever comes easy but you should never admit defeat either.

Youtube is a marathon. Not a sprint. Don't jump into youtube to make it your job, Jump into it to make it your passion and what makes you smile at night when you go to bed.[DOUBLEPOST=1448160638][/DOUBLEPOST]To further add, I'm almost at a thousand subscribers and i've been doing youtube for less than like 3 months, You very well can do youtube as a gamer hell i'm a example of that.

Grats but that just verifies that the reason I'm not getting the subs and viewers is cuz of one of two reason.. 1. because my family and friends didn't support me at all they just looked the other way.. or 2. I'm really boring and no one wants to watch my videos. :p

Congrats of ur success.

I know how you feel. Ive been in ur situation before. But with that kind mind stuck in your head, itll never improve. Look there are BILLIONS of ideas but u just gotta think outside the box. Just sit down get a piece of paper and brainstorm all kinds of ideas. that will help alot. when i did that my channel exploded with 200k views in 1 month!! ^^ but now i quit my channel due to some stuff. But i know you can be that person that special person that can bring lots of audience to your channel. I advise you not to give up. That why most youtubers fail. Dont be that person ^^ #NEVERGIVEUP EY? XD

This is the point where you need to make something different.
Most YouTubers are gamers. But they all make just the same contents as the Famous ones like Pewd,Cry or Marki.
Remember that YouTube is a the hardest job and has a great risk. But as the creators, we need to dig deep to the Creativity Well to create something different.

Sure people wont notice YET! But 60000000 people watch youtube, atleast 1 view is something.
All I can say is don't give up. Give atleast a year or 2 doing youtube. If you don't get 10% increase then its time to move on or do something else.

i agree with her. i didnt get more view not trying. i got more view trying. more video i put out. more people find me. anyone who have 100 video or less is unlikely to be seen by anyone. but if your like me with 700 video. someone always find you. my point is. more video you have on youtube. more likely people going find you with or without ads support!

As long as you can create, there is always room for something special.
Our Minds, creativity and talent are endless and those things keeps on improving and improving.
Tell you what, just take a break then list the things you should WANT do to make a great content :)

Watch stuff, watch shows or watch things. The possibilities are endless.
