Author Topic: can you guys give me tips on how to make a good youtube channel?  (Read 1274 times)

i've kinda tried this before, and i only have 39 subscribers. i mainly uploaded gameplays of toontown and music i transcribed. these were all voiceless btw.

if people want to see someone suck ass at gaming then they can watch darksydephil

i kind of have anger issues as well, people seem to eat that stuff up.

i'm very horrible at video games, so i was thinking of trying instead of "let's play", i can put "let's fail" or something

Too many people are doing loving lets plays, I mean seriously.

Have a short intro. Nobody wants to sit through a solid minute of self indulgence.

If you have a tough time being interesting and playing a game for long periods of time, probably don't go for a "let's play" style.

Plan out what you want to talk about before doing anything. Having a video go nowhere is a bad idea unless done for comedic effect.

Show dont tell. Talking about another game or something funny that can be done in game? Show us, your making a video.


Do something interesting. If you're doing something that has already been done, put a spin on it. Make it yours.

1-2 seconds tops
mainly 1

i have no idea where to start with an intro or a channel banner and such. i have this picture i wanted to use for my avatar, but it's too small apparently.


is your channel gonna be for little kids or something

also p sure nobody here is a successful youtuber so take what they say with a grain of salt

holy hell that's really impressive

so what can i use for an avatar and a banner? i can't think of anything.

what do you guys think about monetization? i'm partner verified, so. i won't get much, but it's there i guess.

he has almost 4 million views on one of his videos wtf lol

uhh be original and don't just stream games that everyone's already streaming.

like don't start with something that everyone's already heard of. i don't think anyone's gonna watch a LP of amnesia in 2015.

but don't do a totally obscure game either. manage to find an in-between and use them to bring out your funny talents.
