    Today, I'm going to teach you guys how to get active subscribers on youtube. I know there's a few people that are trying to 'do' youtube. Now those people might be finding it hard to get past 50 subscribers. I remember when i was sitting on 9-15 subs and they were irl friends. These are my tips for getting your starting fanbase.

    Firstly, don't rush things. Many people think they will get 100 subs and 50000 views overnight from their first video. You have to take your time, go at a steady pace. Upload frequently but not 3 times a day. Space out your videos otherwise you'll run out of things to upload.

    Secondly, your first approximately 3 months will SUCK! This is around the timeframe it takes for your videos to get seen by others. By this I mean posting in Facebook gaming groups, reddit, forums site, in games and on youtube it self. Don't upload the same content in the first 3 months, get some variety going, see what sort of videos get the most subscriber/viewers. The first video that goes 'viral' is pretty much your set fanbase so don't upload crap that you don't enjoy.

    Thirdly, don't be a sheep do what YOU want, if you see bajancanadian or Xisuma, don't start your intro's like them, don't copy their description, don't act like them, do YOUR thing. Personality is key in youtubing. Uploading different content to everyone will increase your chances of becoming noticed.

    Fourthly, you need enthusiasm into your videos. without enthusiasm people will get bored. Add funny bloopers if you have any?

    Lastly, you need quality. Quality videos attract audience. Editing and rendering with sony vegas pro helps alot. Taking time out to properly edit your video, add a few greenscreens here and there if the opportunity arises.

    To conclude, Youtuber take months and even years of consistent and quality uploads to get where they are now, they bust their guts to make videos. So take your time, don't rush.

    Thanks for reading, goodluck youtubers.
