Sub special ideas?

I’m still learning, and probably doing a lot of things wrong. Using the right tags, reading and interpreting analytics, and making the right kind of descriptions and video icon is an on going process. Sometimes it just feels like luck, like posting something in the right vein (flow of interest) at the right time, and sometimes it’s just me not making a video that the average YT viewer likes to watch - long content, lack of street cred banter and slang. I try to make my vids as if they were short films with end credits and cinematic bells and whistles. In hindsight that probably pleases me more than the viewer, but that’s because of my background.

I’m trying to change.

I guess the only way sub4subs might work is if it's in the same interest field. Like Motovloggers sub4sub as it's same interest and they are more likely to watch your videos. Sub4sub with random people, well it's even more unlikely they'll watch your videos.

Generally, someone will only do the sub4sub thing to get themselves to 1k subs as they think they will become rich as soon as that happens. I sub to a lot of channels, lots of those are either current members on here or older ones that don't post here anymore, and I sub to a lot of other channels that I enjoy from outside of this forum, 95% are all motovloggers. I think I sub to around 200 channels currently.... and I very much try to watch all of their vlogs, and other vids. It is incredibly time consuming, and sometimes, I just have enough of it and take a few days off watching, which I then get a backlog that I struggle to catch back up on. Now someone doing sub4sub to get 1k subs... they are not going to have any interest in your content, they only care about the metric... and it is the wrong metric. View-time is king of the hill, that is why so many have been doing these live hangouts to boost the view-time, they also seem a great way to network within the community too.... soz deviated. hahaha :D

I've been thinking about these live hangouts as the new Hero7 has the capability, it opens it up to new possibilities! So how does it work? Only your subscribes know you are live? Is there a way non-subscribers can come across your channel? How does going live influence view time?
 
I think most will use a webcam, I think it all works a bit like a Zoom meeting, where you have a few folk invited into it each on their own PC/laptop and webcam. Then that gets streamed live on YouTube so those watching can chat in the sidebar. If you have 5 guests, and each of those guests shares a link to the YouTube stream so their subs can watch, you can potentially pick up subs from all those watching. I'm not very good as a guest as I like a beer and talk crap when I'm drunk, so I don't really do them very often, but a lot of the #supportmvc channels get involved in them to network and help each other out. Scouse Adventures does a mega stream on Friday nights iirc, he invites new channels to introduce themselves, and has some great guys and gals on them.
They are very time consuming even as a guest, but the host will get a good bit of watchtime from it, even if it doesn't get mega views.

I too enjoy a frosty beverage and the indulgence in diarrhea of the mouth :D
 
Back in the day i did a give away with 100 subs.
But i had an active 20 to 30 people who would comment almost weekly etc.
So it felt different compared to nowadays ;)

Ended up sending local food items, candy etc, to the us. Great fun xD
