Raising 100K YouTube Subs?

[Propfam 2,295]

Hello,

Personally, I have a challenge: hit the 100K subscriber milestone. I want to achieve that goal. Similarly, SC4 community is quite underrated and we want to change the community for the better, I mean consensually better. The problem is if I reach the goal using SimCity 4 (alone), it won't get me that far. So, I'll raise 100K subs thru Simtropolis and in exchange, Simtropolis will be thanked by me in a video. What will I do when I reached that goal? Well, I'll support SC4 YouTubers like Rob, doormysh, and Misk by commenting on their contents and possibly, a collaboration. Also, I'll make a community alongside with Simtropolis. Simtropolis will still be the go to place for serious conversation in long format. But for fun? That's in my community. Don't forget, I'll promote SimCity 4 in other places on YouTube whenever I can as long as my promotion is relevant and beneficial both for the video poster, the OP, the participant, myself, and SC4 community in general.

Option two would be raising 100K subs to the official Simtropolis channel. After the goal is reached, the channel will be managed by a team which consists of me and other members who are willing to join. The income of the channel if any is funneled 100% to Simtropolis. So, the only benefit of the members of the team would be the recognition as alumni of the channel if they wish to start their own channel.

Option three would be to just accept the reality and doing everything on my own. It doesn't mean I don't need support. I do, but not as dramatic as the first and second option. I would be making videos myself and stuck with slow growth, at least in couple of years. But at least, I'm done the channel completely on my own and doesn't make the community loaded. And the fact of slow growth will change in the future as more and more people immersed themselves into SimCity 4. So in the end, I would be benefitted from my channel.

What do you think about this idea? To be honest, I think these are crazy ideas and you might think the same. Opinions are always welcome. Please don't hate me on these ideas. Note that these ideas aren't official yet and not endorsed by Simtropolis (except maybe the 2nd option). If my ideas do become official (which a bit unlikely), I'll make separate topic. As usual, thanks.

Edit: I personally support the option three because it doesn't require the community to be loaded. But, opinions are still welcome.

If @Dirktator, @Cyclone Boom, and I decide this channel should be expanded, we would likely reach out to the community for help. However, until such time that a new decision is made, the channel will remain inactive.

This sounds like a good way to go.

Then if it happens to have a monetary income with a surplus to send to Simtropolis, that would be wonderful. If not, that's fine too. There's no need to feel pressured on this.

Some extra $ for the Board wasn´t that bad ;-)
