As another user mentions you could look out for gaming forums and take part in active discussion / reviews on the forum and hope this drives traffic to your youtube channel.
I just had a quick peek at your youtube channel and have to say great sounds effect "BUZZZZ" haha....it looks and sounds like you enjoy what you are doing which is the most important part!!!! Don't get to bogged down with trying to drive traffic to the channel, more often than not if it is a genuine channel and users enjoy the content it will be shared and will happen naturally!
Good luck with it all!
I'm going to give my input despite this now being 5 months old and your activity seems to have diminished since, but scheduling I think is key, don't hold me on that I only have 3 subs and trying to grow my channel atm but I've only started a week or so ago and I've uploaded every single day other than Sunday (which is the only day I don't upload on purpose) I haven't tried networking yet but it seems that's the way I'm going to go in the future.
I also post positive comments on other channels in the hope someone clicks on me through there but you need a schedule so people know what your channel is producing and when to expect it. As well as this I would say you need variety too, so far I have only played modded minecraft and have 2 series on it, one is a tutorial and the other is a Let's Play.
People seem to strive for knowledge and if you can find a game that's sort of well known but not a lot of knowledge is known about it, be the person who spends countless hours gathering information on it and compiling it into a video for other people to learn quick and easily should they so desire to seek out the information, knowledge is what people search for most, that's how I've come about subscribing to half the people I subscribe to, looking for tutorials, finding a good one from someone and subscribing for more information.
Most importantly is you shouldn't give up! Even if you only upload twice a week for example, have set days you upload. Mumbo Jumbo only uploads twice a week, sunday for a hermitcraft video and in the middle of the week (wednesday I believe) with a quick tutorial video, and he's got thousands of subscribers!
In the beginning it's a grind and it won't seem like it's gonna pay off but just keep doing it and something will come about eventually!
I will subscribe to you if you promise to upload again and set yourself a schedule!
If you want any tips or anything you can always check out my channel or we will sort out some way to message one another and we can help each other grow! :)
Hope this helps and I hope I have inspired you to start being consistent on your channel again! :)
Just remember I'm not a professional but I do my best to act like it because if not then I'll never get anywhere will I? :D

So I started up my youtube cannel a little less than 2 months ago so I'll start by saying that this question isn't born out of impatience. I know I need to give it time. But I really want to grow my channel and want to make sure I'm doing everything possible. Here's what I've done so far:
- created Facebook fan page
- created twitter account
- have been searching other gaming channels, and giving good comments (sometimes I ask them to check out my channel other times I don't. I think people that do that are a bit annoying)
- I post on pinterest
- Joined a network (Machinima)
- Joined the Yeoche community (but so far the people there are DICKS)
-made sure to play games not TOO well known (other than mine craft and Amnesia)
I've also been sure to add annotations that aren't bothersome, tagged my video properly, and given links to all my social networks.
Is there anything else that I can do? Any feedback would be great and I'd appreciate any opinions on my channel as well. Thanks so much guys!
