so i was thinking of doing a giveaway at 1k subs since im only 300 away but i was wondering is that a good a time as any to do a giveaway since its a pretty big milestone to hit i would like to know your guys thoughts on this
oh no im not promoting as i not hit the milestone im just asking for opinions on when is best time for channels to do giveaways i.e on milestones like as subscriber milestone or total view milestones stuff like thatWell if you were looking to do the giveaway on the forums, or indeed promote this through our "giveaway" section then you must of already hit the milestone in order to do it - If you were meaning the timing of the giveaway (i.e the time of the year) I find that giveaways around Christmas, Easter, New Year / public holidays always receive a nice bit of attention.
I know your not promoting, sorry if my post came across like that Oh I see I would say if you a person who likes doing giveaway that these should be done for important / meaningful milestones, such as your 1,000 subscribers or others such as say 100,000 total views, 1 million watch time minutes - things like that reallyoh no im not promoting as i not hit the milestone im just asking for opinions on when is best time for channels to do giveaways i.e on milestones like as subscriber milestone or total view milestones stuff like that
ok thats sounds good i kinda missed that chance on doing it with 100k views, but yeah i really want to do it at important times i just wasn't sure which was the best ones to do it withI know your not promoting, sorry if my post came across like that Oh I see I would say if you a person who likes doing giveaway that these should be done for important / meaningful milestones, such as your 1,000 subscribers or others such as say 100,000 total views, 1 million watch time minutes - things like that really
yeah i guess thats what im worried about you no people not caring due to it being smallI'd say 1k subs is a great one to do it at! I'm sure even a small giveaway people would be appreciative of
you have a good point there thanksYour viewers will love it! Every one loves the chance to get free stuff. I did a small Instagram give away at 100 followers and it actually helped me get more recognition.
thanks for your input bro and i was thinking of doing 2 steam game giveaways at like £5 each or something like that and yeah it took a lot to get here at 700subs im gonna be mind blown if i hit 1k lol but your at pretty much 500 subs so congrats there broYeah I agree with everyone else. Just like the first 100 the first 1000 is a huge milestone on Youtube and is definitely a great time to do a giveaway. While I haven't done one yet since I've only given gifts to my Youtube friends, gift cards tend to be the best option based off the giveaway videos I've seen in the past. They're pretty universal and the easiest to hand out to winners. Anyways best of luck on your road to 1K man and btw congrats on hit 700! - Brandon

Yeah Steam cards are always a great choice for gamer giveaways! I remember seeing a Youtuber do his giveaway live during a stream many months ago so that's always a fun option.

Oh yeah. Gamers love free games. I have done quite a few steam bundle giveaways and have even bumped it up a bit a few times with bigger items such as tshirts and physical items. Heads up on physical items -- if you do worldwide, be prepared for a backup prize such as a digital game of equal value. I had a winner that was afraid customs in their country would charge an arm and a leg for the item, and with shipping costs (which was almost double the value of the prize to start with), we both decided to do a digital game instead so it worked out.congrats man you hit 500 and yeah i just thought for a gaming channel it would be best for doing game giveaway with game son steam and wow man thanks very much
