To be honest, it sounds like you're just expecting everyone to out of nowhere watch your videos, without doing anything at all. That's not the way the world - or YouTube, for that matter - works. You'll have to both make good videos and make yourself known - I'm not sure if you've done either (if you have, then I'm sorry for judging you - I haven't seen your videos myself).
This is basically how all of the major YouTubers today got known - they made good videos that people found interesting, funny etc., and made themselves known through other well known YouTubers, contests (I'm refering to Dan Brown's entry in the YouTube awards of 2007) and just making people tell their friends about them.

I've been posting videos on YouTube for about a year now. And I've been telling people around the world about my videos since then. I went to a local mall and posted flyers about my videos. I left comments on hundreds of YouTube channels. I've visited my local homeless shelter. I've even posted links to my videos on my Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace pages. Regretably I'm often ignored.
I've covered a lot of topics in my 650 + videos. I admit I don't have a lot of exploding things in my videos or trashy commentary, but the content of most of my videos is very informative. And for the audience I'm trying to reach, that should be more than enough.
I hear the story over and over again. People are starving and facing eviction. I'm doing my best to help them. But if they don't know I exist, they won't receive the help I can provide them. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. I'm trying to teach people how to fish for jobs. The more job skills they have, the better chance they will find gainful employment. And if they find gainful employment, they will be more likely to participate in organizations like this one. And that benefits you and the pogo tribe. So I encourage everyone to inform their local homeless shelters about what I'm doing. And do the same for the libraries and the schools. This is not about me, this is about our economy and what I can do for it. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. I asked and responded.

Here are my two cents. Whilst remaining impartial in a way I feel like this is partially a cry for attention and partially frustration. I mean yes this has been said over a hundred times but even though he tries his damnest to reply to his fans (One of the best on youtube to listen to what his viewers say) The sheer influx of video responses he gets is pretty much higher than many other youtubers I know of. But allow me to ask you a question, how is this helping the economy??

There is a humungus void between people who right now are facing starvation and eviction and educators who are charging $20,000 a year to provide job skills. I'm trying to fill that void with my videos. No one should have to go into massive debt to acquire job skills. So I'm doing my part to put an end to that kind of debt. But if people don't know about my efforts, they won't receive the help I'm trying to provide. So that's why I'm urging everyone to go to their local homeless shelters and libraries and tell them about my videos. That way the people who need my help the most will receive it. By the way, if more people through my videos find gainful employment, then this economy will turn around. Count on it.

Awesome voice. He should try out for voice acting, seriously.

Thank you for the compliment. I've notified several homeless shelters about my videos. Some people are starting to learn what I've been trying to teach them. And that's a good thing. I made playlists on my channel to help them find my learning materials. And I've added more videos as well. This economy needs an educational boost and I'm trying to provide it. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm still working on it. With this kind of education boost, anything in the pogo tribe is possible.

When I went to the Decatur Illinois Celebration last year, I was told that many schools block Youtube. Then they told me about a website called TeacherTube. I posted some of my videos there. The response was overwhelming. I was so pleased. I'm still copying videos from my YouTube channel to my TeacherTube channel. I will continue to do so for some time to come. So if anyone in school can't watch me on YouTube, they can watch me on TeacherTube.

70 subs and 700 videos? That's a fail.

For someone who has been posting videos for just one year, I think my progress is a mighty success. I can't imagine what my success will be in the years to come. The only way I would fail is if I gave up. It's people like you that give me the motivation to keep on going. So feel free to be as negative as you wish.

I've got the materials ready for my next set of videos. Wait until you see them. I will record my videos sometime this week. It gets fun from here. I've got a Health Care Bill topic started on my channel. Everyone is welcome to come and participate.

Wow lots of videos, but they are kind of focused on a different audience.

Most of my videos are created for people who need instant job training and instant homework help. But I plan to expand my video coverage to include less academic topics in the near future. So by all means keep watching and feel free to participate in my Health Care Bill video series. I think everyone needs to know what they got from Congress.

Did anyone watch Dan Brown's latest video? I've enjoyed many of his videos, but this one took the cake. I have no intentions of telling anyone about this video. It looks like he needs a vacation. A very long vacation. What does everyone else think?
