Lets Talk YouTube
Hey Y'all, I'm new to the forum so most of you wont recognize be but i look forward to getting to know you all!
I wanted to open a discussion on how us YouTuber's can better network with one another and help our channels grow. I'm Hoping Mark will be able to hop in here and give us loads of advice from all the success he has had on YouTube. If you read this Mark, I have a few questions for you if you don't mind answering. Do you know if most of you subscribers on Youtube are fellow magi, or laymen? Were there any special techniques you used to gather such a large subscriber base? Do you have any advice on how some of us smaller channels can grow? Thanks! |

Another thing is that we do not send out mass messages. People reconize it as spam and impersonal whenever they see more names in the "Sent to". If you want to send the exact same message to more people, be sure to sent it one by one. Something else to gain subscribers would be a good, solid contruction. Be sure that you know what you want, and make sure people see that. Put video titles in the same way, have a design that's good on the eyes, etc. Ourselves, we lack a bit of structure as people never know when to expect a new video, but this also makes things more mysteriously which is actually part of our image anyways so people don't really care about that. As long as it suits you and your videos.. you can do a whole lot. And be sure to not rip off any other channel (unless you are making parodies). Also, you may want to look up confrontations and allow them to take place, may this be about yourself, anything on the news, or anywhere really. If you are good at discussing and are able to either prove others wrong, to make up with them in the end, or both, do it! This could get you a lot of attention. I have luckily been accused of video editing which resulted in every magician on the internet checking me out, many hating on me. I easily proved those haters wrong, and thus left them no choice for them but to support me. If I actually would've had edited my videos, I could've said sorry and then they would still support me so it works either way. Keep it mature though. Quote:
Keep in mind not to send out mass messages, and try to put their name in top of the message, if not their username. An explanation on how you found them would work great too. As example: "I noticed that you like the art of card magic a lot. Now, I was wondering, could you please tell me what you think of mine? I would like to get feedback to see if I'm any good or not, and I would really appreciate this." Quote:
