I'm working on growing my channel more/faster than in the past. It seems to be the best marketing money can buy for my retail business. Just looking to connect with others and talk over thoughts and strategies etc. I'm not a large channel by any means. Only 7.5k subscribers(which I know subscribers isnt important). I have almost a million views and what I feel are decent watch time ratios etc.
However I am thinking about making a budget to get this moving in the direction I want faster. I'm wondering how I could spend lets say 1k a month to further this project. Youtube advertising from a couple years ago proved to be a waste of time/money for channel growth/actual viewers. I figure I could buy collaborations? Time with analysits? More Equipment? Give Aways(which I don't think work) etc. Open to ideas and hearing from people on what has worked.
In my niche the largest channel has almost 200k subscribers. THen there are lets say another 20-30 channels with 10-70k subscribers. To get a view of the competition so to speak.
