Getting noticed

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to get noticed on Youtube for quite a while now to no avail. I only have about 55 subscribers. I mostly make halo related content. I have been on Youtube since 2011 but have only started making videos on some consistent basis for about six months. I just have a few questions to ask: Is posting your own videos on the forum (even if it is for the sake of discussion) considered ‘against etiquette’? Secondly, are there any communities or websites where I could advertise my channel or get noticed without losing my integrity? I don’t want to spam or anything. Thirdly, if there happens to be anybody reading this with a fair amount of subscribers (A few hundred plus), what was the major thing that got you to that point?
Here is my channel in case anybody is interested or has any criticism: https://www.youtube.com/user/darcyharkin/featured
Thank you for reading.

  1. Posting videos is not against etiquette, there are montages and Machinimas and other posted all the time here.
  2. Ready Up Live, SingleHaloClips and others are good to submit clips to as they have large amounts of subscribers that will watch the clips and will look in the description for the channel and might even drop you a sub if they want to see more from you.
  3. Can’t answer that, I’m not even to 100 yet…
