Partnered Youtube account + Facebook

[Alacrity Digital]

This thread will essentially be my 'journal', as I'm doing everything from trial and error and have no previous experience. I figured if I write my progress down, I might be able to see where I go wrong, if I do. If what I write helps anyone, then that's fantastic. I don't have any specific short-term goals, as my end goal is to make an 'authority' channel and page which will bring in money in the long run.

What I've done so far

- I started exactly 7 days ago with a brand new channel (note that it's a new channel, not a new 'account' as you can have multiple channels) and a brand new Facebook page. The Youtube channel is partnered.
- I uploaded several niche related pictures, which were viral quality, to my page. After a day or two I boosted some of the better pictures for $10 each. This brought far more Page likes than specifically boosting the page by itself. This was and only will be the only money I spend.
- The videos are all ripped from other sites/people and are 'amateur' user made videos.
- I've uploaded 9 videos (although I'm now uploading only once every 2 days) which are all monetized.
- I've put the Youtube channel link in the info box on my Facebook fan page and put the fan page link on the first line of all the video info boxes.
- Every video I post to Reddit, in 2 different sub-reddits. I stagger the posting by a few hours and I also post on a 2 year old account.

Wait... you got that many views just by posting to Reddit? Or are most of those from Facebook? Bravo either way...

Thanks bud. Just Reddit - I don't feel my Facebook page is big enough to start spamming videos on it yet.

Thanks for the support guys.

Nah, I found 2 reasonably popular sub-reddits relating to my niche which have a constant 100-150 people online.

It's really simple - all you do is post your link, and if people like it they 'upvote' it. If you get enough upvotes you get put on the top of the sub-reddit which equals more traffic.

Hey, i have fanpages and want to promoted my videos on them. The only problem is that i don't know if it will count views which were achieved through youtube. Does anybody know if there is a good way to convert facebook audience into youtube views or does the embed views on facebook count ?
