Where do you advertise YOUR content?

[maxuranium]

My latest video didn't get much love and it was probably due to me leaving one of my groups that I used to advertise in, so, where do you advertise your content? I would never stoop so low as to advertise in peoples comment sections so I need places to get the word out!

I don't advertise anywhere outside of YouTube.
I find that if one advertises in a place made for YouTubers, it generates an audience that you don't want. You'll get swarmed with spammy comments and have a general bad audience.

the best way for a gaming channel to get noticed is have the most powerful search engine optimization (SEO) possible. The closer to the first page of search results you can get, the closer to your intended audience you can get.

I have to stress INTENDED AUDIENCE. Posting in a place made for other YouTubers isn't going to get your content seen my people who wanted to watch your content.

Here's a powerful point - Your audience, the ones that you intend to see your videos. They don't even know that the subreddit or forum you posted on even exists. All they know is the YouTube search bar, so it's in your best interest to figure out how to get them to find you that way.

A huge automated solar powered blimp that circumnavigates the globe while spreading the word of my greatness...

Lol... kidding...

Forums, my website, twitter, facebook, a sign on my car, I stash giveaways in public places, etc...

Otherwise i rely on seo as Nolan said.

But i try to advertise outside of youtube to try to bring new viewers to the platform... I figure thats better than trying to get viewers that already have channels they like.

I'd consider sharing my content only when I feel that my videos are up to par. People tend to share videos too early, when they're just starting out. It's like playing a beta game before release, sometimes people remember the beta, instead of the current product.

Regardless, sharing on freedom, reddit, or relative locations could work, quality is always needed!

I only share my videos in places people would want to find it or go looking for it.

How do you get the most powerful SEO? Or what do you use? Just learning about this. Thanks!

Usually Twitter,Reddit,Facebook(mostly rely on these the most), and then the Freedom! Forums. Prolly will expand to other sources as my channel grows .

The most powerful SEO is specifically the terms and phrases that someone looking for your specific video would look for.
To figure this out, sit back in your viewerd shoes and think "what would i use to find my specific video.".
Not a video like yours, no, your specific video. Using generic keywords wont work because those go to vidoes LIKE yours, but not your specific video. So know that "gaming" is not going to help because it will link to videos LIKE yours, but not your specific video .

TubeBuddy can be a useful tool for this

Thank you! Been reading stuff about it and at least now I have a solid view. Really appreciate it.

I found a BuddyTube, but not TubeBuddy. Maybe that's what you mean? I just downloaded it when I read your first comment above.

reddit is also good but ppl tend to dislike alot there.

I have found that the best way to promote your videos is when someone else is promoting them for you if you get what I mean. Collab's, shout outs, spotlights, and things like that. People essentially need to vouch for you or else they just don't give a damn. I mean, I get it. This world is super fast paced and YouTube channels are a dime a dozen. We have to prove that we are worth somebodys time and what better way to do that than to convince someone established or "something" established that we are worth the attention.
