whats the best way to drive traffic to my Youtube channel

Use websites that are FREE I know of a few I send them to u

Well it will take time but as you continue to get views you will gain a rep with some of those people and in the Youtube community your name is everything so you got to keep it up and well remember people are going to hate but that is just how it is. I would say is make your videos interesting and well make sure you make them easy to find. Also promote your channel outside of Youtube so like the social networks you are apart of and also any other internet website you are on where they allow you to do that sort of promoting.

have baby,sexy women or cute cats, on the videos and thumbnails, they always gets views. videos with babies and cats always gets viral. the most successful youtube partners are beatiful sexy women who takes advantage of their assets to gets views.

You should try to inform others about the name of your channel. You can put up a blog and inform in that about this. Also u can use facebook, twitter.
