I see that you put a lot of effort into editing the videos. That's good. But you've just taken the work of other people (such as Disney). You really need to try to be original. Make your own videos.



You first need to find a theme. Random video uploads aren't gonna work unless you are already famous. Read below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you a musician? If so, play a popular song on YouTube. This usually gets more views than creating your own songs (if you aren't famous). Parodies of popular songs with popular current events score big.



Are you interested in politics/ethics? Find a controversial subject that's CURRENT (Stem Cell Research, Abortion, or even some current issues) and rant on about that.



Are you a dancer? Choreograph to POPULAR music.

Do you think you're a funny person? Write a skit with a friend and perform it (like smosh).

You can also just rant about news events or life like many famous YouTubers.



Think you have an amazing shocking talent? Possibly, juggling bowling pins while playing DDR blindfolded? Post that up!

Like to teach stuff? Make how to videos about things people would like to learn (tricks, music, dancing, makeup, etc...)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On YouTube, each of these categories (drums, makeup, skateboarding, dancing, juggling, magic tricks,etc..) has their own community. Most people that will watch and subscribe to your videos will be from that same community. For example, the juggling community would attract jugglers. If you want the most views and subscribers you would need to choose a broad audience, like music or comedy. Have you looked at the top subscribed people on YouTube? They are pretty much all musicians or comedians (or even both). There are simply more people who appreciate music and comedy than people who appreciate skateboarding, juggling, etc... Keep that in mind while you decide what you want to do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you have a good camera and GOOD AUDIO (if needed). People like HIGH QUALITY videos.



Other ways to get more views is to make yourself look really nice (physical appeal), have an attention grabbing title, have a lot of "tags", and have an interesting picture as the video still. I really don't like when people do this, BUT it WILL get views.



Do something that will make the audience beg for more! Be creative and dedicated. :)



Good luck!

Usually the people with the most views/subscribers are in the category of "Comedians" such as RayWilliamJohnson, Meekakitty, etc. Although, a lot of the "Guru" who might help you make a website, or help you make a banner, or help you with basically anything, also have lots of Subscribers/viewers/

Hi. I have answered this type question quite a few times. First you have to upload videos that are very popular like Gangnam Style or something like that so that when people search for that vid they watch yours. Then on that vid put a comment saying look at my channel to drag people in. When your channel gets well known start uploading the vids that you want (try to put videos that are new and unusual). To make your channel even more known, post the link to your channel on websites like Facebook and Twitter. Hope this helps!

If you keep blogging or keep doing something entertaining that people would enjoy and spread the word about your videos and tell your friends probably you would get more viewers and subscribers like Fred,Shane, and Buck did.

everyone click "Report Abuse."

this question is veeerrry common.. there's no need to post it again.

this question belongs on YouTube forums and stuff, not yahoo answers.

USE LOGIC. people watch what is interesting... if you want people to watch your stuff, make it interesting. see what else has lots of views to get an idea what you're NOT doing.
