Although I originally said that getting subscribers was not one of my goals. Well, it wasn't. However, upon reconsideration and with the passing of time, I realized that what is the point of taking the trouble to maintain a YouTube channel, blog, Twitter, and Facebook page for fans if there aren't any fans? Accordingly, I figured that I should do something about this.
Additionally, I found a quote yesterday. (I don't know who said it.)
Winners are patient; they know that a goal is only as worthy as the EFFORT required to achieve it.
I found this and shared it with a couple of friends. I was trying to apply to what I thought was a very appropriate situation. Now, I want to apply to my personal situation in making videos. My goal? I want to have 100,000 subscribers by the end of 2013. And, I believe that the world WILL NOT literally end in 2012 so I am setting my deadline at the end of 2013. haha
This does not mean that I am going to spam people everywhere I can. I hate the "sub 4 sub" deal that so many YouTubers claim that they offer. I don't believe in this idiotic deal because I think that my subscribers should actually like my videos. You don't like my videos - fine - don't subscribe. If someone likes my video, he/she should subscribe. I want to reach 100,000 the right way, not through sub for sub or whatever other crap there is out there.
Wish me luck and I hope you all make worthy goals. I know my goal will take a tremendous amount of effort to achieve. Will yours? Respond in a comment if you want to!
