Post content you enjoy. For example, post gameplay of you playing a game you're good at. Speaking about said game etc. Even other things like cooking? Fitness?

It should be something you have a passion for and enjoy otherwise it's going to come across as shitty forced content.

You do YOU.

Don't ask what type of content you should post, it's not about them, it's you.

What do you like to do on a daily basis? Do you game hardcore? Do you like to hack? Are you just a causual gamer? Think about the games you play.

If you play call of duty, just posts videos of you playing call of duty. Make a collage of the best clips and post it to YouTube, even do a voice over and talk about topics related to the game, also share opinions. Create a conversation that your viewers can engage in. Don't expect to get a solid answer that'll open doors to becoming successful, it's about what you love to do, and doing it on a daily basis.

If you start a channel, don't give up. Yes, your content will be crap for the first few months if not year. You'll only gain a few subscribers and views, but don't get discouraged. Keep uploading, eventually your editing skills will get better, and your content will too, then you'll start seeing improvements to the channel and it will grow.

I currently have over 150k video views on my channel with only 200 subscribers (which is not a lot), and that took me a really long time to achieve.

I'll say it again, because it's the biggest thing, don't give up!!

What do you enjoy doing ? For me i started my Youtube channel 9 years ago and uploaded mostly modding videos and PC tutorials. But my videos where more about trollin and im not a very serious guy. I you take a look at some of my old videos you can see how shot i was at putting together a video, most the time i wouldnt even edit them, as i had no clue what i was doing. So now ive started uploading videos on my 1 year bodybuilding progression. This is something i already enjoy so its great and i now take my time in making my videos a little bit professional. I bought my self a decent camera, a good Mic, and i now have some what ok in editing my videos. So my advice before you start have a topic on what your videos are gonna be about and stick with it, if you get subscribers and lots of views then that means the audience likes tour content, at this point just keep on what you are doing. If not many hits on your videos maybe change up the content you are uploading. Like anything its a grind, so don't expect to upload a few videos and get a ton of views and subscribers straight away, it takes time. Example i have had my Youtube account for 9 years and i have 1081 subscribers. That being said i have not always uploaded videos. Like I remember one year i uploaded 2 videos lol. But i went back at it again and staryed doing streams and gameplay, and started uploading more and now ive become a Youtube partner. This is the goal you should be wanting as if your partnered with Youtube you have extra features like monatize your videos and you can get paid when put ads in your videos. You also will qualify to have a custom Youtube channel url, but i think this can be done without being partner im not to sure. But yeah like i said its one hell of a grind, just keep at it post weekly if not daily, the more the better, but remember quality over quantity. Thats very important to remember.

Take a look at this thread that was made by KyloCrux where he tells you how to grow your YouTube channel. Forums/t=7631965/how-to-grow-your...annel.html

Also feel free to check out my Youtube channel [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I wish you luck man, if you have any more questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

Something you like.

Don't base the content you make off of something someone else wants because if you don't like doing it, chances are you won't do it well.
