Stuck, any thoughts.

I know this is an old thread, but I just saw it and figured I'd lend my own thoughts.

It is often a good idea to focus your channel on one game- that'll get you somewhere fast- but there are a few things you NEED to be aware of.

1. It has to be the right game.

A game like Hearthstone, or Call of Duty, or Overwatch, or Minecraft. I wouldn't pick Minecraft, but you get my point- something that's HUGELY popular and has insane replayability. Rocket League, FIFA- those types of games can be played endlessly on repeat. Multiplayer games seem to be the huge hit- anything where you're playing against real people real time is something you can focus on.

1. You will get stuck playing that game forever if you want to remain popular.

Whatever game you choose, once you start focusing solely on that game, that's it. There's no going back. If you ever try to upload anything else, your views will tank, your subs will fall, and your analytics will explode, if it's nothing even remotely similar to your one game. This is the draw to focusing on one game, and why I continue to upload variety despite my slowly growing channel. There's a pro and a con to every decision- variety makes you grow slowly and your view counts stay low. Focusing gets you high view counts- often higher than your sub count- and keeps you popular.

1. High Editing

With games like those, no one wants to watch fullplays. That's ridiculous, who watches a 432 episode series on 10 minute, unedited playthroughs of FIFA? You'll be doing montage-style videos, which means recording and playing for 3 hours and uploading a 5 minute video. Just how it goes.

None of these things are bad in any way- just people aren't usually prepared for this. In order to get up there with other channels of similar content, you'll need to go all out with your content.
