- NO SELF-PROMOTION
It’s hard to get noticed without
a little help. Post your videos to
popular gaming fansites such as
Reddit and NeoGAF. When getting
your name out there, don’t spam
— a sure way to turn off potential
viewers and subscribers is to visit
other channels to leave comments
linking back to your own content.
Instead, take a more holistic ap-
proach and network with other
creators through conventions and
meet-ups for collaborative live
streams and guest appearances.
And always remind viewers to “like
and subscribe” in every video.
