- Go into debt to purchase expensive gear.
- Quit your day job before being monetized for a few months.
- Commenting wildly on videos asking people to check out your channel.
- Linking your videos in the comment section of other YouTube creators.
- Trying to comment first on a larger channel, again, hoping that other new YouTubers will check out your content.
