    Hello. So basically I’m traveling the country, using my home time to see places. I’ve been making videos for everywhere I go, even making reviews to discuss the positives and negatives.
    My goal is to write a book when I’m done. Only one issue so far, my YouTube view counts suck. Like if they were to reach 1000+ I’d be happy.
    Search “A trucker’s diary” by krazy Dom. Lmk what I can do differently. Keep in mind it’s rare to get internet on my computer so everything is done by iPhone.
    Now if you do look at my videos, I know what you’re probably going to think: the videos with the most views have the thumbnails with girls on them. That wasn’t intentional. So an easy answer will be to put: best sex of your life with a hot chick as the picture lol. I’m not going to do that so don’t mention it. Any reasonable advice would help. Thanks

    Tbh, I dont watch much YT truckers. Nothing personal, but since I drive I dont need to be reminded of what I have to do on a daily basis.

    That being said, one idea I have is go to Vista Print and have cards made promoting you channel and then just start handing them out to people or leaving them in places like truckstops. Dont leave them on individual trucks though, you dont want to touch someone elses stuff.

    Also, another idea that I have seen YTers do is find more popular YTers and see if they will give you a shoutout and maybe even try and film with them, kind of like cross promoting.

    You maybe interested in that no many people care to see those things.
    What does everyone want to see?
    Drama
    Crashes
    Karma videos
    Best fails. Stuff like that.
    I have some videos doing well over 300-500k views since posted all because of the titles.

    Example
    if you want someone to watch your mcdonalds revieve in Chicago Illinois.
    You have to title your video.
    Found bullet in my double cheese burger at McDonald’s!!!!!!
