I was wondering if anyone has used this method.
You go to all the relevant videos (popular/trending ones) and in the comment
section try to funnel or refer people to come to your own channel.

The way you'd do this is 1) have a youtube channel name that is very catchy or interesting
so when ppl read your name in the comment, they'll want to check it out.
2) post something very controversial or eye catching that will make them want to check it out.
3) not sure if you can post links or if it can deleted or removed, but if you can then paste a link. Most
likely you can't so I'd just stick with 1 and 2. Having a really good catchy username and then commenting
something so spicy that ppl will want to check out your channel and videos.

Advertising in comment isn't effective way generally.If you want to promote your youtube channel focus on posting high quality content and use social media platforms to promote your content.

promote in social media like facebook and Instagram doesn't work anymore.
It delivers only residual traffic. It means you in each 50 posts in groups/pages facebook you will get maximum of 10 views per video... Don’t know why you guys keep insisting in a strategy that barely works..

explain me.

Yes it is right to advertise with the comment box of all video and it generate good traffics, some people do offer this services on micro niche sites with loads of orders which guarantee the conversion.

There is any bot to make YouTube comments automatically?
 
It is hard to get comments live on YouTube. You need an experienced seller for this.
 
it does, you have to look for youtubers with
1. Lots of subscribers
2. If you are going to use multiple accounts, you can't just go around making new accounts using same IP. You will need seperate REAL accounts. Similar to how google likes its reviewers real. How do i know? Because i have tried spamming youtube comments before.

In my case I have alread 30 youtube account but I use only 2 accounts. 1 for fun videos and other for upload business videos
 
I tried it. After 200 comments I stopped because it gave almost no results. I also tried this on instagram, comments that can get 10k likes hardly lead to any new followers. This probably happens because nowadays almost everyone is a "content creator" and it's getting harder to impress them.

yes it looks hard on youtube.
Even with typical strategy which lot of people recommend like comment in facebook groups, pages, use pinterest posting, twitter posting, tiktok posting with consistent posts schedule everyday it doesn't work very well nowdays as they said.
I test that strategy during 4 months, in every social network posting everyday and always consistent in all social networks, and it gaves me just 150 subscribers on Youtube, only 400 followers on Tiktok,and only 3000 website clicks after posting content everyday with posts related to my niche, on Facebook Groups, Pages, Pinterest, Twitter, Tiktok, and Linkedin.
Sales so far zero! I didn't sell even 1 product in 4 months! Not even one low ticket.

So I don't know what else can I do to get visitors. Paid traffic looks risky and I don't have tons of money to invest.
If you guys know some good strategy using free traffic to get lots of REAL visitors please share with me.

Thanks in advance.

the best way to get traffic is make viral shorts. How to make viral shorts? One way is just take the most popular videos out there and make a shorts reaction just showing your face reacting to that viral video. Best example is a guy name "superherointraining" ...africa's #1 reaction content creator i suppose...all he does is make faces at viral videos and he gets himself millions of views and subs....seems so silly but this crazy world of social media works this way.....one day we're gonna look back at the wild days of social media (now) because eventually all this crazy stuff is going to get controlled. I mean it might be stupid, but it works and it makes ppl lots of money and they are not producing or creating anything good in this world. Same with onlyfans....has liberated more women in 5 years than the entire feminism movement has in 100 and all they do is show off their youth/beauty but don't contribute anything to this world. It's dumb but they make 500k a month or a year even is good. How long can ppl live like this?

It all depends I guess...if the future of this world goes in the path of "pleasure planet" where everything is just about capitalism then yes, this stuff will last forever and it's all ppl will be made for since AI will take over 98% of jobs. Humans will be left to just be playthings and it sells. Or if the world goes in the direction of ending capitalism because it's actually bad ....(except for 1% who are living it up), then one day all this stuff will be controlled, banned, censored, regulated etc. Think North Korea and some strict Muslim nations....they have a point. They hold to some set of rules and beliefs that keep everything in check even if it's preventing capitalism from it's full benefits. You either become a society that follows capitalism and no morals or a society that has morals and rules but stunts capitalism. The secret to happiness in life is truly not how much you have but how little you need. The less you need in life, the happier we are. So I am seeing this rift.

On YouTube, the comment strategy is good but do it properly and have professional manners. Comment on the right and appropriate lines and the viewers of this video can check comments and visit the channels if there is some good interesting.

It sound that only silly things work.
Lot of people make videos teaching how to make money online and new strategies but actually 99% doesn't work.
Only few work after struggling working on them step-by-step and repeat the process over and over again. not easy nowdays

It absolutely works, infact this is one of the methods to attract traffic to your channel. Make sure the comment has the clickbait factor, like some words or texts that influence people. It works more when you have a attractive channel image, a clickbait channel name, like you just mentioned.

Good day to you!
 
It's a great method especially if you could find a way to automate the process. It will work well.
