Simple, you need to use SEO to your advantage and here is where you find out how to emulsify the importance of the search engine with the results you will need to expand your youtube empire.
------------------------------------
Instructions & Explanation:
Firstly you need to be aware that these will only help you if you have patience, this is not something you will notice straight away or overnight. Sometimes to notice any improvement in your statistics you will need to give your channel some time, this is something you will have to give some time to notice major improvements.
1. The Title. eg.
Your video is about Minecraft, it's the start of a brand new series and you want people to tune in everytime you post a new episode in the series. Your account doesn't have a distinctive amount of subscribers and you need more exposure to gain the audience you need and deserve for your hard work.
The Title is the most important in the SEO advancement and is to be carefully constructed to help gain your top spot in the search bar.
-------------------------------
Minecraft Series - (Name of content included)/ Minecraft Series - (Your channel name)
-------------------------------
The two examples above are something you need to look at carefully, as you can see there is one with a dash then your channel name or your internet name. A top tip when choosing your name is to avoid placing your channel name in the title, when someone searches for content they want to view they don't care who's posting it unless it's automatically placed within the search results, the Search Engine will also automatically remove channel names from the search results if the channel is of a small size, the search results will show them but only if the channel is of major significance.
The Title Highlighted "Minecraft Series - (Name Of Content Included)" is a great choice for new content creators as this allows consumers to have a vague insight into the video without having to click on the video giving them some chance to think about what the video might contain.
To open up the Title and draw the audience closer you might want to play around with the Title to best match what is contained within your video, for example, you may have a funny moment or an interesting piece of footage which is of interest or could draw your audience closer. The Title is the place for that content to be placed, the following title best explains a situation in your video, Eg. (A block in the house you've built in minecraft vanishes and you fall through it burning alive in the endless pit of lava below, losing all of the hard work you have strained to achieve for the past for hours.) The Title below would be perfect for this and would entice viewers to click on the video and start watching your series.

Minecraft - Missing chunks burn me alive
-------------------------------
So, we have touched a little bit on the Title but what else could you possibly use to gain a larger audience without advertising? Well, there are a few more tools at your disposal which will help you gain that all important viewer base.
The Description:
So, your description is important to you for one reason. It's your's to do with what you please, you can post links, content and anything you fell the viewers may want to see.
This is not part of the SEO and is only for you and your channel subscribers to see. It is important though for you to post as much relative content in there as possible as the users may want to know about any music you use in the video as well as where they can view the first episode of the series or where they can keep up to date on your life or the channels name on the connected social networks. Use this tool to your advantage.
Next we move onto tagging, now... tagging is important in two ways, it helps youtube categorize your videos better and helps move your video in to the appropriate place when indexing the content you've posted. It's important you tag at least 10 relatively simple, relevant to your content.
Tagging is only really used for that reason, the next few things are minor but simple and easy to understand.
Your privacy settings want to be 'public'. Of course this is vital or your video is not listed in the search engine and therefore not viewable by anyone without a link.
The category selection is also quite minor in most cases but it helps categorize your video a whole lot better if it's placed correctly in the right department. (Minecraft videos are placed in gaming)
