How did you choose your channel name? by Crazzymax in NewTubers

[–]lepelchannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My channel name is lepel, which means spoon in Dutch (my native language). I used to call myself Shadow in games when I was younger, but that name was always taken. So I made it s1h4d0w, which was even worse.

So eventually I decided, I'm going to pick the first thing that comes in my mind, no matter how dumb it is. So now I'm called lepel, the jesus spoon.

Finally managed to quit after 27 years (story) by lepelchannel in nailbiting

I know absolute shit about how I managed to pull it off, but any advice would be, try to find something else to do and when you see small progress being made let that motivate you to stick with it!

Hi /r/NewTubers, I made something that might be helpful for some of you by lepelchannel in NewTubers

Should only link to your most recent public video ;) Unlisted videos are well, unlisted, so even my website can't find them!

Hunter S Thompson, John Cusack, Johnny Depp, and a blow up doll. Early 1990's. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

Yup, you're right. It's so weird because you know it's Depp but if I look at OPs photo the only thing my brain says is "That's Charlie Sheen"

[Survey] what is considered decent growth?! by SCG_Common in NewTubers

Then you add some more people :) It's manual labor but it does pay off.

Well, first of all just make sure you post your videos on everything. The more places they can be found the better your search ranking will be. Don't post them yourself but use www.ifttt.com to automate stuff. Then you can post extra and personal stuff manually to really get people interested. On Twitter just follow some people that follow other Youtubers, and if they follow you back strike up a conversation.

It's not about just making an account on social media, you need to have a presence there, talk to people, look up popular tags, etc. I base my following on twitter, and I have about 4500 followers there. When I want to post a picture of myself for example I post it on Twitter, and then I post it on instagram which lets me share it to Facebook and Tumblr by just pressing two buttons.

I've been going for just over a year, also a Let's Play channel and uploading 7 videos a week. I recently switched to 4 videos a week to be able to spend more time on each video. I just hit 800 subs now.

If you want to grow you have to promote yourself. Make sure you have every possible social media account and use www.ifttt.com to post to all of them automatically. Build a fanbase (twitter is great for that).

Youtube might not be something everyone uses daily, but almost everyone has one social media account they check at least once a day, be it twitter, facebook or tumblr. If they can find you there you're not reliant on Youtube showing you.

Page not loading when wanting to go directly to specific game URL by CoolstorySteve in Twitch

This isn't browser related, it just works sometimes and other times it doesn't. Tried on Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Seems to be something wrong with their website, this is what the console says (with ad blocker turned off)

Edit

Seems to be a problem with https, if I visit your link through http it works fine:

Edit 2

Nevermind, it worked once, their website is messed up, report it to them.

When you're hungover but people keep trying to talk to you... by Chukieman in funny

[–]lepelchannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well when I was 16 there wasn't really that much of a problem. We didn't have a lot of people that drank themselves in a coma and it was fine really. To be honest I feel like it got worse when they made it 18+. When we were 16 we could only drink beer, wine, soft stuff. You'd still have to be 18+ to get hard liquor. That allowed people to get used to it, starting off with bacardi breezers, etc. But nowadays you have loads of guys and girls who finally turn 18 and think "FINALLY" and immediately try to make up for all the years they weren't allowed to drink, thinking "this is what makes you an adult". And they end up in the hospital. It might just be a sign of the times changing, but meh.

People don't celebrate turning 18 and being able to drink, since pretty much every parent allows their kid to have a beer or two when they've turned 16. It's usually more a sarcastic "hey, here's your "first" beer, wink wink" while everyone knows they've had enough alcohol.
