Need help with YouTube! Giveaway inside!

minecraft

League of Legends actually rend a lot of viewers on twitch tv,probally you should try on youtube :).

So you're copying literally every other youtuber?

How about "Mimic"?

To be honest, I see very little point in doing that, as it's quite literally been done to death. There's nothing new to see, so unless you're commentary is absolutely amazing, you'll just be lost in the sea other youtubers trying to leech off of the popular ones.

I'm not really deeply into those gaming channels at all, so you probably want to take this with a grain of salt, but I'd definitely be interested in more gameplay videos for games like Don't Starve, Rust, and DayZ, since I tend to watch gameplay videos to decide if I am interested in a game or not (or just to see how something is done), and those are on my list as being of potential interest but I'm not sure about them yet. Minecraft could be good as well, though it not being on Steam dampens my personal interest a little. I do wonder, how do you plan to make your channel unique, so to speak? There are a lot of gameplay videos on YouTube, though I haven't personally found a channel I prefer yet.

I can't help with a username, sorry, but I do wish you luck and hope it turns out well. If so, I'll definitely be checking out your videos.

If you ever plan on using youtube as revenue - This, this and this. MikeB is very informative when it comes to pretty much anything business and internet related.

More on topic; Try to pick a user name that's simple, easy to remember and fits you well. Start off simplified and let your community help build your identity. When starting on a gaming youtube channel I would definitely suggest being different than your average LP youtuber. Don't just play a game with some added commentary and expect subs to pile in. If you choose to start with a game that supports multiplayer, play it with friends for the added entertainment. If you choose DayZ to start, play on full servers to run into the 'crazies'(seriously some people are just nuts on there). Oh, and be ready for a lot of video editing, lots and lots and lots of it, depending on what you play. Minecraft might be a good start depending on the current youtube following of it. I don't keep track of anything Minecraft so I really don't know how many people still actively watch/look for Minecraft videos. If you do start with it definitely play it with multiple people and, of course, have a lot of creativity.* Having read some of your replies; Having you community involved is definitely a plus. Everyone who likes their entertainment wants to be involved in it at some point. Playing smaller games to start out with will probably give you a good start, be sure to advertise you videos on twitter or Reddit or some sort of social media site with heavy gamer traffic. After you get a decent viewership built you could maybe ease into other, bigger, games or you could have your viewers decide what they want to see you play from a list of games. Also, like a youtuber said(I can't think of his name off the bat, but I think Totalbiscuit); Try to collaborate with other youtubers with around the same subscriber base as yourself. Though I would suggest you do so with one who isn't, at the time, playing the same games as you.

Well, that's my 2 cent, if I think of anything I'll add it later. I don't want to discourage you, but it wont be easy to start out and build a viewership. Only the very lucky get a massive following overnight. ahem Pewdiepie.. Though, if it's something you really want to do, don't give up on it.

*Italicized after reading your previous replies.

Maybe play FTL and as a username try the nickname your friends give you.

AdamSmasher

So you wanna be a let's Player like me hm?! But only speak another language?! =.o .. so you're lucky I don't care about other Let's Players, otherwise I would cry and throw darts at a picture of you! YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!!!

I think nobody, or some small amount of peoples, will watch the show which is already exists - like Minecraft of smth too mainstream. You can start something new, something that nobody was doing before. For example, I never saw someone, who was doing Gothic II letsplay show or PlayStation 1-2/Nintendo 64 game reviews. Try something new, thats the thing that peoples want.

Combine your real name with Steam nickname - SeductiveAdam!

If you're prone to raging in an entertaining way, then play FTL on normal, or even better, hard.
Castle Crashers would be nice too, since it's not mainstream enough to already have thousends of LPs.

use the same username you uses here. it's funny !

Sedand Bear?

Nathadam.

"SameVidsGuy"

but if you want some unique, take two ordinary words, one short one longer ( or two other ) that don´t belong each oteher at all and combine then. Work for one nick of me very good. So if you want to set Games or Video in front. something like GameBueroControl, VideoGameprinter

Play less-known games, we already have enough, if not too much, Minecraft/Garry's mod youtubers. Pick a catchy name that is easy to remind, an username generator can come in handy. And if you want to be funny, for Gods sake please don't make a sex joke every 5 minutes.
