I might post the link after the Journey's done. For now I don't feel like sharing
I mean, it's not like it's a closely held secret, with a bit of research you can find it but yeah I just prefer sharing when I'm crushing it! (Not to say that I'm not right now, but <3K is still a bit too small for me to be super happy about)

Report #47 2,846 subscribers. 471,176 views. 8,200 realtime. And my most viewed video is at nearly 152K. There is one or two more big places I could promote it at, maybe I could promote again in certain places.. but I'll leave that for the future. I'm REALLY excited to hopefully post the next big video this Tuesday. So far it seems like it's looking good, just waiting on my editor to finish
I'm going to go extremely hard on promoting that. Just the whole day will go into trying to make that go even more viral than this one. Because I need to get to more subs. I need more money, but I don't want to sellout.. so the only way I can do it is having loyal subs. I think 2-3 huge promotions and I could easily be at 100K subs. Even just hitting 10K subs would allow me to collab with bigger channels, so growth will skyrocket soon. Good things are coming.
Also I enabled fan funding just a few minutes ago, I think I'll promote that at 5K (for now I'll see if anything happens without any promotion). But err.. it's glitched and not even showing up on my channel so I emailed YT support. Lol hopefully they fix it

No offense, but I think I did mention Reddit in various places during many of posts
As for specifics, well I I think I did get a little specific too. Frontpage of r/videos twice and many other larger subreddits

Report #48 2,914 subscribers, 475,026 total views, 8,500 realtime. Total unsubs this month so far is better than last month, which is surprising. Which means my quality must've improved AND also people like the one post every 2 days thing going on.
Unfortunately my editor is... missing? Uh, he went MIA a few days ago lol. So.. I have no idea video for tomorrow, so I'm editing one myself currently. Definitely don't like this position that I'm in, considering the holidays are approaching and I just.. really don't want to risk promoting then. So I think what I'll do is promote a video slightly tomorrow that'll do better than most but won't bring me any great results (probably). I contacted this youtuber with a similar IDGAF attitude as me, he's got 5,100 subs and he's letting me use some of his footage to make a compilation. I think maybe I could get some of his viewers if they'd type in the name and see that, or maybe he might even give a little shoutout himself if he likes what I create. But most importantly, it's not about me. I really wanted to give the guy a shoutout because he deserves WAY more than 5,100 subs and he BARELY promotes. If he did the promoting I did so far, he'd be already at 100K subs or more. He's got a bunchhhhh of videos that are just hilarious and he's been doing it for a long time.
Anyways, I've got that going. Progress has been slowing down a little bit. I DID finally get my gaming channel back. It was dead for 2 weeks (more news on that later) but.. it's still sorta locked. YouTube support turns out isn't as great as I thought. They're crap lol. Woops.
But anyways, still gotta keep a positive attitude. I think all can go well still Just gotta get the editor awake.. or something.

Hey Avilux, this is a great journey. Keep up the good work.
I am working exactly on the same since the past 3 years, on a not-so-common niche on Youtube. Given that I have a full-time job I can only invest a small amount of time daily to this, but I keep my energies up and running knowing that in time this is going to grow quite well.
I am just about to hit 1000 subs and really feel identified by your journey about how hard it can be. But it is priceless when you get your effort payed off, with subs and people reacting positively on your videos, I love it.
I have a Facebook page (with nearly 3k likes) where I link the videos I upload to Youtube, and I promote those through FB. So far this approach worked pretty well for me, and you have another social media site to interact with the audience. I used Reddit many times to share my videos on related subreddits but I never promoted content. Any advise about how to make a good promotion???
Thanks and let those subs grow!

Report #49 2,983 subscribers, 484,033 total views, and 11,000 realtime views. Instead of posting the compilation video (which I'm still working on), I immediately posted a Kanye video after news broke out about that. I found it hilarious, and easily relatable as I had a fun trip to the Psych Ward as well 2 years ago
It got a couple thousand views so it wasn't so bad, definitely helped with the subs. Tomorrow I'm going light as probably everyone will be enjoying Turkey Day, and I just don't want to risk promoting heavily only for it to fail. My editor responded.. but still waiting on the video. No worries, hey, can't rush talent!
November seems to be slowing down big time, but I think the very last days will bring a big boost and also December we're gonna need to make some very serious pushes!!

Use upvote.club or join upvote groups to help you out with boosting posts to the top, alongside asking friends and family to do the same. Focus on targetted subreddits and promote multiple times, however do not spam. Use the 90/10 rule (post once for every 9 responses) and you'll do well. Also make sure to observe which posts are going to the top of each subreddit. Some like clickbait, others hate it, so you'll have to modify. Also engage with any and all comments

Report #50 Hopefully everybody had a nice Thanksgiving! I have the editor's video, so we should be good for either Monday or Wednesday now. Just gotta figure out which day is better, or maybe even if I should wait for Friday. I promoted a little bit on Reddit recently, and I'm backlogged on comments. Always when I'm backlogged and I go through and engage a bit, my subs rise a tiny bit.
I got my first donation due to fan funding, $1.69 lol. Kind of interesting. I didn't promote it all (and won't until 5K subs).
I'm at 3,067 subscribers, 507,201 total views, and 17,000 realtime views. Also I recently gave a shoutout video to a Youtuber I liked (No Joke Howard, very interesting man) and personally I really like his content. He had around 5.1K subs when I posted and now he's gained like an extra 200, so that's kind of really cool. He was super impressed and is all up for a collaboration if I'm ever down in the area (which I will be eventually, probably next year). I'm most likely going to surpass his subs, but even so, by the time we're collabing, he's gonna have at least 15-20K subs so that'll be a nice boost to my channel.
Also might contact a few other channels I've been ignoring (they're much smaller, but I guess everything counts now as we're approaching the end here). Quite a fair bit aways, but I'm excited to promote at least hopefully 3 more MAIN videos. One definitely coming within the next few days.

Report #51 I missed yesterday's unfortunately due to being out of the house, but we've got good progress. I'm going to be promoting pretty heavily in just a little bit here, so this week's exciting, but here are the stats:
3,158 subscribers, 517,513 total views, and 8,900+ realtime views. I really hope my editor can fix the video (visuals are done and audio's NEARLY done but I had to send it back to him so he can fix it, it needs to be perfect this time!) so I can promote on Wednesday. Hopefully!

Thanks mate, yeah the content still is nowhere where I'd like it to be, but 2017 will be exciting. Part of it depends upon me, but the other part is on the editor's shoulders (for the newer videos, of which only 1 is up so far but the second one should be good this week
) The recent one got a bunch of dislikes only because I wanted it to haha. If you promote on r/videos sometimes they hate it, but it's worth it for the views if you get on the frontpage for just a couple of hours and then fall to controversial anyways. Because after that one day now it'll keep getting probably a couple hundred views each day and it's good for gaining loyal subs that'll stay and like my future videos.Plus whenever someone likes or DISLIKES as well, it gets engagement. Which counts in the youtube system. So it optimizes the video, and if a video's gaining traction it'll boost it up even more, hence more views. It's an upwards spiral. And the video got me EXACTLY what I wanted. I built a relationship with a YouTuber I liked, who now is happy to collaborate with me. I can't meet him just now, but next year even though my channel will be much larger than his (even though he's currently beating me), he'll still have xx,xxx amount of subs. His channel's sorta similar to mine, so a collab video will help boost my channel big time. Next year I'll probably go ham on collab videos just so I can get as many subs as possible.

Thanks mate, I don't show my link due to privacy reasons. I mean it's not like I've got anything to hide, that's why multiple members from here have found my channel.. but at the moment, I just don't want any trolls. (Not that you can stop that, but there's definitely better places to promote a YT channel than BHW haha)
It's vlogging currently but hopefully in the future it'll be a half vlog/half extremely exclusive mix
