Hey Gang - over the last 6 years our forum has become cluttered with outdated information and spammy posts.
We want to make it easier for you to find the information you are looking for.
As a result, we are migrating to new Forum software soon with one big clean out of posts that are no longer useful.
The new forum will look completely different so don't be shocked when it's launched :)
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Tube Toolbox
YouTube is currently undergoing site maintenance and should be complete by 1pm PST.
This is causing many Tube Toolbox features to fail at the moment.

So I've gotten a lot of requests to tell you guys how it was possible for me to get so many subs on my channel in such little time(http://www.youtube.com/chillclipz) (take into consideration that for the last 2 ish days I haven't been using TT)

It all depends on your niche.

I'll divide it up as best as I can.

**It's important to use more than one feature**(Yes it's safe :P)



VLOGGERS:

**You most likely will not notice hundreds of subs a day**


Use the share video feature with this list:
-Go to the "Browse" page and go for a featured vlogging video(Ex. Sxephil, kevjumba, charlieissocoollike etc.).
-Click "see all" comments on the video you choose.
-Gather from all pages - here's where you have a choice. If you want fast views/fast subs - Set no filter options. If you want quality subscribers/slower views - Set less than 100 subs(You won't have to set a last log-in time since the video they commented on was only a few days old.)
-I'd suggest using 4 "dummy" accounts that look real. Ex. favorited videos/changed profile picture/changed color background.
-You have a choice here: 3rd person or 1st person marketing. 3rd Person: "This is an awesome vlogger i found, you should check him/her out!" 1st Person: "Hey saw you like vlogs, if you have time, check mine out? :) Thanks, have an awesome day!"


Use bulk comments on user profiles with this list:
**Not sure how well this works after new layout update, blehh**
-Go to a popular channel that allows channel comments such as epicmealtime
-Gather..about 500-1000 users
-Run bulk comment on these channels - there are 2 good ways of doing this. An easy way would be having 4 or 5 different versions of saying hey(Ex. What's up) with #UN#. You could also do something creative such as "#UN# *insert trivial or random question here*" :P.

**Entering captchas will boost views/subs a LOT but even without entering captchas, this helps you gain traffic.**


Use friend requests on this list:
-Search "vlog" on YouTube while in the TT browser of course
-Click on filter, and instead of relevance, select "Upload date"
-This will organize them by most recent vlog video posted(most likely about 10 minutes ago is the most recent)
-Gather all users from all pages
-Gather as many as you want(Keep in mind TT can send about 1,000+ friend requests a day)
-Run the bulk friend requests.

Other ways that might help would be messages but it seems like YouTube screwed them over ever since about a year ago, so I'd say just go with shared videos instead.



GAMERS - Cinema Channels

COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!!
-Gather from FaZeClan's channel and all you need is 3 messages "#UN# <3" "<3 #UN#" "Hey #UN#:
-Captchas for sure!!
*If you put a lot of time into this part, you will get tons of subs!!*

SHARE SHARE SHARE
-When you get an awesome clip on your channel, get that thing out there!!
-Gather users from FaZeClan's most recent video
-Share from "dummy" accounts saying "MUST SEE SHOT!"

**Warning: you will be surprised how great this works**



GAMERS - Commentary Channels

**Videos of popular games(Ex. CoD) will of course have much more of a niche than videos of smaller games(Ex. Transformers lol)

Comments:
-Gather users from a Machinima video that relates to your videos. For example, if you make Call of Duty commentaries, then go to MachinimaRespawn's vids.
-You may have to gather from a few videos since MachinimaRespawn posts a crap-ton of videos.
-Be a little more formal in the comments instead of the hearts lol. "What's up #UN#? "How are ya #UN#"? etc.
-Captchas or not, your choice, but captchas will of course help a lot more.

Friend requests:
-Search the game that you make videos about on the YouTube search tool.(Ex. "MW3")
-Filter - upload date instead of relevance.
-Gather a ton of people
-Start sending the requests

Share videos:
-I'd suggest going to a popular commentator such as seananners/hutch/whiteboy7thst's videos
-Gather a bunch of users from there
-When sharing the videos say a message like "Hey saw you liked gaming videos. If you have the time, feel free to check out my unique commentaries. Hope you will enjoy them!" Use dummy accounts to get more shared vids out there.



MUSICIANS/BEATMAKERS:
**I don't have as much experience with this, I just know that you probably won't grow nearly as fast as the gamers/vloggers(their viewers are just more active on YouTube), although if you're really good, a lot of people may end up sharing with friends, so good luck! XD**

Comments:
-I don't recommend comments in case you would make it big some day people will say "Oh that person just commented on people's channels to get famous!" Blah blah blah lol

Friend requests:
-It all depends on the style of music you play/make: Basically figure out what bands you/your band somewhat sound like and go to their videos. Gather users and send friend requests to those people. If you're one of those people who makes "sick beats", then go to some dubstep stuff like Skrillex and gather from there.

Share videos: Same as friend requests



Hope this helps you guys out! Feel free to ask questions and point out any grammar or spelling errors that stick out XD

@fpsrsghms: Thanks for posting this. I'm doing pretty well with TTB, but I'm going to try to implement some of the things that you mention that I haven't yet added to my activities.

Question does the #UN# act as a code of sorts that automates adding the username of the channel on which you comment?

Just wanted to make sure...one thing that I haven't figured out (and this may not be possible) is how to personalize comments. Obviously you can do that with messages, but...you know

I suggest anyone reading this now, ignores it - his account is suspended.

If anyone else is wandering aimlessly looking for hope as their account has been suspended, here's some links from Toolman that will help while away the time and possibly help shift the blame from TT:
