Tips

 * -If you are doing repetitive/boring tasks, you better either not record you doing, or record the first and last part of your boring task then piece them together or you could always just cut them out. You do not want your viewers to be bored, especially if they are new.
 * -Background and a channel image for YouTube will help you enhance your page.
 * -Interact with your viewers, ask them for suggestions, what you could improve and what they want to see!
 * -Don't use subscriber exchange, there is a very low chance that those subscribers will actually view the videos, and really just count for a hollow number. Instead, embed your video on a forum, or the Wiki (but be sure to comply with the video policy - people are banned for violating it). Note that replacing someone else's video with yours won't get you anywhere, come up with your ideas, or at least try to come up with a better design. If the wiki is giving you a viewing benefit from embedding your videos, then return the favour to the wiki and clean up every article you put a video in, not only will this help the wiki, it makes your video seem better as it is seen in a better context.
 * -Inbox or contact other minecraft video creators e.g. DJ and Riggaz Game Guiders or machinima and discuss partnerships, cross promotional videos and deals with minecraft content creators. This benefits both parties involved, so many channels would happily accept your offer.
 * - Don't force yourself to do something. If you don't like something, don't do it. Tell your viewers you don't like it and ask them to suggest something else.
 * -If you are making tutorial videos, make sure that they are tutorials for things that people will want to know about, and you present it in a user-friendly way.
 * -Don't spam useless videos, if something can be put in 1 video, then there's no reason to split it into parts.
 * -Don't be greedy, if you want to do this JUST for money then you should quit it. Doing it just for money will show how careless you are, remember, it's not about the money.
 * -Don't go to the popular channels and spam their videos with comments about visiting your channel. People will most likely not visit your channel, and they will get quite annoyed!
 * -Don't expect thousands of views when you just start. If you upload high quality content (video and audio) frequently and are friendly, you will start gaining views. Even if it seems like nothing is happening, just keep uploading!
