What's up guys,
I just recently have started a gaming channel and want to know, how would I be able to gain a lot more views and/or subscribers? I feel like the quality of my videos are good, but It's like I barely exist. I hate the feeling and the worry of if I'll ever get above the infamous "100 Subscriber Mark," but I can't help but feel like it is a great possibility that I won't. So with all that said, is there anyone out there on TTG who could give me advice and share some of your past success on Youtube? It would help me a ton if you could. Thanks guys!
Also, here is my channel. It's not much, but feel free to take a look if you want.

you will definitely need the following
1. a good capture. the top 3 capture cards in my opinion are as follows. The best - Elgato Game capture HD which retails for around $200 if you shop around. Then second best would be the HDPVR 2 Gaming edition which also retails for $200 if you shop around. Then the third best would be the Avermedia Live Gamer HD which yet again retails for $200 providing you shop around. All these capture cards are 1080p recording
2. A good Mic for recording/gaming. There are plenty of great mics to but but the best two in my opinion are the Blue Snowball and Blue Yeti. The Blue Yeti is more of an upper class/ professional mic retailing around $200 where as the Blue Snowball is more of a casual mic for beginners which retails for around $100. There are plenty of mics that are just as good but a bit cheaper if you are tight on money. I also suggest getting a pop filter for you mic to get a higher quality recording.
3. Good pc/editing program. you are going to need a strong pc to be able to edit and render your videos at a good standard (720p - 1080p). you will need a good program to edit with. I suggest any of the Sony Vegas version. there are plenty of places to crack it on the internet but there are also many free editing software's to use such as VideoPad. Most of the capture cards will come with a basic editing program
4. Good videos. You will need to come up with new, entertaining and funny videos to post to gain an audience. It is not going to happen over night so you will need to stick with it in order to become successful. other youtubers are your friends so use them wisely. get in contact with other youtubers in you category of youtube (What videos are you making) and try and make duel videos to reach out to their subscriber base aswell.
5. you will also need to be in a partner ship with a company. the sooner the better. but make sure it is a well paying company that has a flexible contract. ALWAYS READ THE CONTRACT!!!. when you have a partnership you will be aloud to expand your youtube channel further and make money in the future if your videos are successful and if you want to head into a possible career in youtube. You will also need a lot of time/hard work and effort if you want to become successful. Good Luck!
