Gaming channel sounds cool, right? But you know in YouTube there are millions of gaming channels but very few channels are successful in this niche because they follow the real strategies which are different from a normal YouTube channel.

And I will tell you the real strategies behind a successful YouTube gaming channel. And also tell you how to start a gaming channel from scratch?

How to start a gaming channel?

First of all, you have to decide your niche or you can call it a micro-niche, but gaming is also a niche then why we also need a micro-niche? Because mainly there are 2 types of gaming channels firsts are who play games and record it and after recording gameplay add commentary or add some funny memes clips they upload it and personally I will recommend you this for a great result.

Seconds are those who play games on live streaming (which is very difficult for a beginner due to lack of gadgets and audience)

Gadgets and tools required for gaming YouTube channel

Without good gadgets, I don’t think you can play and record games well. So below tools is necessary –

For the first type of gamers (Who play and record games with commentary)

1. A gaming PC(not too expensive) or an android phone (who wants to play and record mobile games)

2. Mike for better commentary ( commentary makes Gameplay interesting)

   

3. A video game recorder or you can go with OBS software

For the second type of gamers (who wants a live streaming gaming channel)

1. A gaming PC ( with high specs)

2. Mike for commentary

3. Webcam ( Webcam live streaming interacts more)

4. Expensive games ( for better viewership)

5. OBS software for good quality of the live stream

6. High-speed internet

How to play games?

Well, I will not teach you how to play games but I will teach you the style of uploading gameplays here are some tips-

1. Be unique

2. Try to be funny

3. Best commentary

4. Upload smooth gameplays

5. Try to interact with the audience

6. Eye-catchy thumbnail

What kind of games you should play for the better growth of your channel?

Well, it’s your choice but if you want to grow faster, then you need to more focus on trending games even you can play the latest android games or you can review new games believe me this will help you and I know If you are a real gamer then you will like old games like Total overdose, Freedom fighters, IGI 1&2, etc but sadly only a few people want their gameplays.

In simple words, the YouTube audience wants to see new games and their walkthrough but once you will be successful to build your fan base and audience then, believe me, you can play any game without losing your viewership.

Even I saw many Indian gamers I think this is disrespectful of gamers to calling them gamers because they only play PUBG in their live streams I mean playing PUBG is not bad but always showing the repetitive game to your viewers can make your viewers frustrated.

How to increase subscribers on the gaming channel?

Without subscribers, you can’t be a successful YouTuber so the point is how to gain your subscribers? I mean some tips & tricks? So firstly you should not force your viewers to subscribe because this is so frustrating okay. I mean directly jump into gameplay then slowly interact with them and in the middle of the video or at last, simply say to subscribe.

And you will see growth on channel subscriptions and a good impact on your viewers and try to give your viewers exclusiveness and valuable content.
