How to get more popularity?

[Multiply]

I'm the leader of an xbox clan at the moment [TGN]. And we have a YouTube channel, and I was just wondering, how can we make it more popular?
Should we upload a wider variety of videos, should we advertise more etc.
Any suggestions are widely appreciated.
Thanks!

Just upload decent videos / clips with good editing but not too over edited.

Well, there's different kinds of editing. If it looks shitty, and everyone can tell that the people only did it because they wanted to use a billion effects and see how it looks, no one will like it. If you're experienced, though, and know how to create a masterpiece, "over-editing" can be AMAZING.

OP, I just watched a couple of your videos, and I have this advice:

-Do more recent games.
While Mw2 can be good, it seemed that the montage that was featured on your channel had mediocre gameplay. I don't dislike it, but after seeing millions of Mw2 montages, that particular one didn't leave an impact on me. You should also sync stuff more, use a better song, and overall make it more interesting.

-Use good music/make an amazing intro.
Good music can really make a person want to watch your videos.
When they click "Play", the first thing they hear/see has to be good, or else they'll instantly stop it and go to a new one. and if you have a good intro, and good music (also different music that people haven't heard in a montage before, but goes well), people will want to subscribe/watch more.

-Play around with effects and sync your gameplay with songs to make it look nicer.
Pretty self-explanatory. If it looks like it took a lot of work, you'll get a ton of views.

-Use good tags.
Good tags really help. Make them specific, and try to gear them to people who'd be searching exactly for YOUR video.

-Find things that people are interested in, and make videos.
For example, I made a few shitty videos about retarded things, but I knew they were popular, and now, they have over 80k views each, and I didn't do ANY work at all. I just looked at the the views and smiled. =)



I watched your "Top 3 plays | Week 2", though, and that was a lot more interesting. Make more videos like that. =)
Try to sync the next musical track with the gameplay, though, and move the screen around every so often(vibrate and change colours when you get a sick no-scope, for example).
Change the colours a bit, too. It makes it more interesting.

I think that's enough advice, lol. =)

Record in HD, make a competitive sniping team. Climb the ranks.

Thank you so much man, that's really good advice. Rep'd.

We do record in HD, we're not like the best at sniping, so we play GB normal modes.

Useful, HQ videos with some advertising on xbox and xbox related forums. Also, get known by "XBL Bosses" idk many still, but back when I was in this scene, they were predator, ak47, energy, kramer, etc.

Promote your channel around youtube and other various sites, try posting your videos as video responses to machinima videos and things like that.

That won't be very effective. Usually there are hundreds of responses to a big channel. I myself, don't even look at responses.

More like XBL Fags, Pred is like 11. Ak47 hits you offline if you beat him in anything, which is always because he blows.

Step 1 - Get a PS3 (95% less 12-13 year olds.)
Step 2 - Record SNIPING gameplay. Not HxCQu1k$cop3xxx666 gameplay, Sniping. you know, where you actually look down the scope?
Step 3 - Send in your videos to Machinima Respawn. They have a dropbox and if you follow their instructions and they like it, they might upload to machinimarespawn's channel.
Step 4 - Please your subscribers.

there, done.
