How to get your MCSG youtube, more popular.

[fatmannumbah8]

I disagree, I find some youtubers very desperate.

Isn't that what I said? You're confusing me, sorry to say.

Guys someone needs to teach Morgan Freeman how to play MCSG, people will watch just for his commentary on every video.

Coming from a guy with 400 subscribers...

Guys, unless you have a great computer, great PvP skills, great commentary, good game-plays, and decent voice -- You're not going to make it. Unless you have all those, just recording MCSG doesn't cut it.

Also, the reason Blamph and ThatOneTomahawk succeeded is that they were already big names prior to their YouTubing. People looked up to them and wanted to watch them because they wanted to see what they did to make them so good. Sorry, if you're not a big name on MCSG, it's going to be that much harder to get started.

Honestly, out of all the "HAO TO B BEEG ON UTUBE" that one was probably the most true and blunt advice I've seen so far. Your computer doesn't have to be great -- I have a pretty low end iMac that's a couple years old (Yes I will replace it with Windows, at the time of purchase I wasn't planning on gaming) that with Windows installed can record with Fraps at 60FPS pretty decently. The voice is definitely a BIG factor, people aren't going to like to listen to someone who sounds 8, unfortunately many people under the age of 14 do sound like that (@FinsGraphics being the exception here...). Also having a decent mic is pretty important, that cuts out background noise (Especially useful for those of us who live with parents that tend to interrupt recordings) and makes your voice sound good.

Thank you, for the nice feedback.

Time for some of Tomahawk's wise words of wisdom.

There are two main issues that YouTuber's tend to have that causes them to have both a large number of inactive subscribers as well as not getting high amounts of views on their videos. Let's get into the big one first.

Lack of a schedule: Time and time again I see small YouTubers post videos very sporadically and don't stick to any particular schedule. The reason most people do this is because they don't want to put in the effort into making a video and therefore only post whenever they feel like making a video. If you really want to make it big on YouTuber, you need to actually try! Create a posting schedule, whether it is posting once a week, once every other day, or if you have tons of time, posting every day! The point is make content on a regular basis so your subscribers have something to look forward too! You may have noticed that I post every day at 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, and I accomplish this by recording a day in advance, scheduling the video to upload over night, and doing description/annotations in the morning. Obviously I post way too much because I have too much time on my hands, but I haven't broken my schedule in quite a long time. (Excluding my two weeks I couldn't post a video, I've posted every single day since March) Anyways, I think I've stressed enough how important a schedule is, now to get to the second topic...

Creating quality content: This goes off of what OP said, just a little bit of my spin on it. Most people who create Minecraft content, or video game content in general, is sub-par and of terrible quality. What you need to do is seperate yourselves from these people by recording Minecraft not at 20 FPS, but a constant 30 FPS at least! Be sure to edit your videos properly and keep the game audio and your voice's audio in a range in which the game doesn't make it so people can't hear you! This part should be easy as there are plenty of tutorials on how to maximize quality when recording a game. The other thing you must do is make content people want to watch! Be entertaining! Be weird! Be someone you would want to watch when wasting time on the Internet! If you take a look at your video, and you wouldn't watch it, you know it's not the best you can do. Keep working at it until you are satisfied with what you have created and hit that upload button! Be proud of what you do and keep it up! Somebody out there would love to hear your voice! Good luck on this part, I find it to be just as hard, if not more difficult than keeping a schedule. Half the time when I am about to record a video, I have no idea what I'm going to talk about. Half the time I have a great topic. Those times I have no idea what I'm going to say I think of stuff on the fly, and I know this is harder for some people than others. So if you aren't good at improvising, think long and hard about what you are going to talk about, because nobody wants to see you play the game and say two words every minute! You don't have to never stop talking either, that's just something that I do for some reason.

Sure, YouTube is not for everyone, but with hard work, dedication, and a proper schedule, maybe you could be the next YouTube star! That's what I keep in the back of my head when I make videos. Anyways, wall of text over!

Keep on keeping on!

you lost your uploading streak you were sick ):

 

[RuexMedia3]

Thanks for the help! I'll keep all of this in mind when I'm recording my next video. I still have a long way before I get big... I only have 250 subs right now but someday my dream is to be big!

 

[Burtry]

honestly the best thing you could do is advertise on others channels *sarcasm*

 

[¡Sam!]

I honestly only watch @ThatOneTomahawk and sometimes @Lovelights because they're so different from the others. TomaHawk has facecam and amazing block-hitting skills, and Lovelights is just plainly skilled.

Le Blamph? Lol this is so late. =D
