Did you provide a link to your channel? I couldn't see one :/ 1000 subs is a pretty good goal, but how many have you got atm? Great and regular content that is either funny or interesting is a must, but tight editing, a good camera and a bubbly personality are needed if you want to be a YouTube personality. I wouldn't discount YouTube SEO either, as simple stuff like the title, description, tags, and the file name all contribute to finding new viewers and hopefully subs. I'd read a bit more on the SEO side of things if I were you https://www.1and1.com/digitalguide/onli ... r-ranking/

People, thank you all suggesting things but I do not plan to make minecraft content at all, I REPEAT NO MINECRAFT CONTENT, thanks.

I know what you should do not many people on Youtube have made modded creative series

In all the years I've been watching, I wouldn't say there's any that hasn't been done, but there's some that have been done yet very few have followed through with them. One such series was Eepblah's "Vegetarian" Minecraft where they weren't allowed to eat meat. Channel's been gone for a while and you can probably find relics of it from her friends.

You could do that or stick to one particular type of challenge that is not Let's Plays. PopularMMOs does a lot of Lucky Block stuff which is what still keeps me entertained. Vanilla and Modded Let's Plays are so overdone now since it's the easiest thing to do. Stay away from those and give maps or challenges like Logdotzip with his TTB one command world, you might be surprised at the results.

EDIT: Blah, thought you wanted to stick to Minecraft, but let me add on to that

YouTube goes through cycles, Cats, then gaming, Fred, gaming, Ice bucket, and then gaming with OverWatch and League taking up the spotlight. Right now, it's on the downturn for Vlogs so what you should do is try to stay ahead of the trend. While you might not be the first, it's great to have something that makes you stand apart from the others like a catch phrase or a certain way of presentation.

Let's take Jacksepticeye for example. He's loud, obnoxious and full of energy. He stands out against Pewdiepie and Markiplier with his zaniness and up front attitude. Move on to DanTDM who greets everyone by saying "Hey" and proceeds to be a carnival ringleader of sorts with his opening, presenting you with what the video is going to be about.

TL;DR attitude and quality makes a better channel than the content. Look at Trinnimortal who does one video every few weeks yet he has a great following himself.

You been doing too much thinking and not enough doing!

Youtube is hard job, it's one of the easiest to start and understand (Compare with a freelance coder) without any time wasted.

Just making videos! That's literally the only one to be popular. And the only way to make something "original" is too practice. You won't know what's good unless you get down and dirty! Fail, Repeat, Improve. Stop being so afraid!

If you want to know how to get more subs, check out these sites:
- http://www.planetminecraft.com/ - Make Tutorials videos, turn them into blogs and paste it on this site. When I did that the first time, I got 65+ views on the video and 1+ sub.

- http://sharree.com/Feed-Shares This is a great site with many other Youtubers ready to help you and promote your video. If you need any help then please do feel free to Message me in PlanetMinecraft, invite me to your discord, Skype etc...

Tumblr and Twitter is also a good idea! Amino etc...

Unpseakable FTW c;

Yeah you should really do what you want to, and look at what famous youtubers like TBNRfrags, UnspeakableGaming, and stuff are doing, for example, trolling and challenges on bed wars and skywars, just go nuts

All you need is just individuality ! Show what makes who you are do you like gaming then do it, do you like making animations then do it, do you like sports then do it !
Just add some originality and you'll be noticed out of the crowd

my opinion is just do what you like to do

Yeah, like Lleyeta said, you should probably do something that's already been done and whenever somebody searches that thing there's a chance that they may click on your video. But when your channel is brand new your video and channel will not be immediately appear as I have experienced before. I also have a YouTube channel but just because something has already been done doesn't mean I don't do it. I will say this though: what type of videos do you plan on doing if so? Minecraft and Hello Neighbor videos do really well if you plan on doing a gaming channel. I've been doing YouTube since Oct, 27th last year.

The problem is, everything has been done. Your best bet is doing something that's been done... better. As previously said, do something you like. If you want to upload (and therefore do often), and you have a passion for what you're doing (and therefore seem interested and probably be more interactive/social), you'll probably get views aplenty.

Bump

back when i had a bigger channel, i just did what i liked to do, something i knew i was good at. commentary, maybe gameplay. do stuff that you'd watch and have fun while doing so.

thats what gets more videos out, and more chances that you'll get noticed.
