Create content for your ideal audience is how you get subs fast. Who is your ideal audience? Who are you making content for? If all you care about is the fast subs, they might not stay around for a while. What is your passion on your channel, and how are YOU helping people be able to find you easily? :D

Personally just ignore all that type of thing, if you are happy with what you are doing then the subs will eventually come, you have more subs than me, just donΓÇÖt stress about it

Watch what other people are doing, who do the same gaming as you and think about how you can be different, also look at other gaming channels who donΓÇÖt do the same as you, but you may take some inspiration from them.
I used to be a manager and tell people what to do all and run the supermarket from time to time, but this has been the hardest thing IΓÇÖve done, itΓÇÖs putting yourself out there for the world to judge you o_O

I say just create and try to build a solid channel with a good amount of videos. I think I read somewhere that the average channel with 1k subs has about 100 videos (give or take).

I'm just at 150 subscribers now and only about 20 videos so my focus is to get to the 100 videos mark.

I'd be happy with the rate you're getting, I'm coming up on 5 years of YouTube and still sitting on only 166 subs. I have gained 17 subs since I started to use TB and this forum though with advice from people so it seems to be working.

I would say that is the best thing to do right now , only time will tell :D

I have an answer for you. There have 3 types of social media marketing.
1> Application Programming Interface social media marketing
2> Application programming interface social media exchange
3> Hashtag based social media marketing.

number 3 is very much easy for every one.
You can search keyword from any keyword suggestion tool and you can add those high level keywords with your channel.
Additionally if you need more quicker speed than you can search on google about API SME.
Its true, i have been using social media each time i post a new video, so i guess it takes time to reach more people :D

I'm just at 150 subscribers now and only about 20 videos so my focus is to get to the 100 videos mark.
I actually read a lot about that and watched videos saying that a new channel should focus on reaching 150 videos then subscribers will start to find you more

I am not unhappy i am just curious because i have seen a lot of youtube videos like how did i get 1000 subscribers in a month or even more like getting 300k subs in 3 months :D that is why i am asking it, like if there is any tips beside using TB for tags and the right title

This doesn't tell me WHAT Games your playing, what your audience came for, etc. What do your analytics show? :)

I donΓÇÖt think you read my other reply saying about watching what other people do and how he can be different, I understand people get sub focused, hell I am at times but it shouldnΓÇÖt stress you out :)

I'd say focus on WHO you want to reach that's what I'm saying. Subs don't watch all content youtube says average 10 - 15% of subs watch content from the people they subscribed to! When you know WHO your target audience is, example in gaming. People who want Half-life lore, then you know what type of content to make!

Totally agree, but youΓÇÖve also got to enjoy what you are playing, I mean loads of people play fortnite and make content for it, but i wouldnΓÇÖt go anywhere near it, canΓÇÖt just make vids of vids sake o_O :)

This is what my channel had been but most people tell you to focus down on a genre, I would rather do a variety but since narrowing down to sports video games I have seen subs and views come in. Not a great deal but still good for me.

There is nothing wrong with this, but understand you asked the best way to get subs. This kind of counters that. If I sub for one game, I won't necessarily care about the others. It's not EVERYONE, but again think of it like this, if subscribers watch battle field V Content, Rocket game isn't even close, so if subs don't care, they won't watch.

When asking about getting subs, keeping content consistent is key.

This is not to say you CAN'T Do this, but when you want to focus on sub growth, this is a bit counter-intuitive...
