Hey guys,
I'm a 3 year Exec at Maker Studios and I see a lot of threads on here about services to help you get subs/views. I wanted to take a moment and tell you from an absolute expert in this field why you should NOT EVER use them if you want to build an actual YT career.
First and foremost I want to let you in on a secret about YT fraud detection. They are a little behind. The "YT Police" as I once heard them referred to are actually really good at their job and very efficient. The main problem is that they are a small team so they are months behind. If you activate a bot or hire someone to bot for you, you may get some extra views and you may see a bump for a little while but eventually they will catch up to you. There isn't a network in the world who can help you if you have cheated and most networks will terminate your contract if they suspect you of cheating. DON'T DO IT.
Second, buying or paying for subs is super silly. Think about this, I could create 100 gmail accounts in about 2 hours and adding a YT account to that wouldn't take much extra time. I could then go find someone who was desperate for subs and sell him subs from all my accounts I just created. The person gets 100 extra subs and I just made some good money for a little bit of work. Sounds great, huh? Well guess what... YouTube deletes inactive accounts. So in a few months, those subs are going to disappear. In addition, those subs did NOTHING for your channel. The reason why subs are important is it means people are getting notified that your content is being released. More subs means more eyeballs on your videos when you release them. In this case, those 100 extra subs meant 0 eyeballs! Don't pay for anything that won't give you actual long term value.
Third, there isn't anyone on the planet who can actually sell you what you need. Most services I've ever talked to who offer subs or views have relatively small offerings. A few hundred subs here, a few thousand views there. The problem is that a few thousands views is only a couple of (fraudulent) dollars. To get a meaningful amount of subs or views you will have to do so much that the fraud will get elevated to a higher team (AdSense instead of YT). When AdSense fraud happens you're banned from monetizing for LIFE. You won't be allowed to join a network or partner the channel ever again.
Fourth... Now that I've told you what not to do here is what TO do. Make a facebook fan page and twitter account. Start building those up in addition to your YT channel. You are much more likely to be discovered on Facebook if you do a good job of posting cool and engaging content that people share. Don't just post your videos but also post other cool/funny/interesting/relevant stuff there too. A strong, engaged audience is what networks are looking for both when partnering with you and as you work your way up through what the networks have to offer.
Hope this helps!
I don't currently have enough posts on BHW to answer PMs yet but I have the exact same username on Reddit and am happy to answer there. I'll obviously check in on the thread and answer any additional questions you may have.
