How do you get your first 100 subscribers on YouTube?
Well I wrote an answer here on http://Quora.comMy answer went viral and in the span of 3 weeks got me 1.7 million views. You can see the answer below:Chris Sean's answer to How much do web developers earn? What is their salary, based upon location and years of experience?After realizing how many people were attracted to my story I decided to make a YouTube video here to share my story with more people in the world.My video got about 100 views its first week. 1500 views the 2nd week. 4 weeks later my video now has almost 9k views and counting. As of now, this video alone has been receiving approximately 600–800 views a day and at this rate eventually a 1,000 a day within the next 2 weeks.I started off with 7 subscribers my first week. Now Im gaining about 17–20+ subs a day. For my own records I’m posting my subs on my about page on YouTube here:As of now I’m gaining about 100+ subs every 5 days. This is insane. My newer videos are now getting more views then your average new YouTuber. It may help that I have some experience in videographer with my church but that honestly does not mean anything.But what mainly helps is that IM NOT doing this to make money. I already get paid well as a developer. I created this channel only because I want to help others in a way I wish someone could have helped me. I remember when I wish there was a developer out there who frequently shared his life as a developer to help me know what i’ll be committing my life in studying code to.. There was none. So, I decided to do it.I’m now sharing weekly Vlogs of my life as a developer & tips on how to become and improve yourself as a coder as well. This is probably the best decision I ever made. The response has been very encouraging but definitely humbling. I am very thankful for the fact that my story has helped hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. Not many people can say that. So I will definitely make the most of this opportunity.Hope this helps!
