What is the best way to achieve YouTube fame?

You cant buy fame like that. People need to like your channel. I see channels with 1000 subs, 10,000 views, and then ... 3 likes. You know they bought subs and views and its just wasted money.

If you have a good channel, something people will see as useful to them, then all you need to do is ask for subs at end of your videos. I subscribe to things I might want to see again, or where person keeps uploading similar videos i find of use, like cooking of things I'd eat that requires minimal waste of time for when I have to cook, secrets in new games I play, and channels that upload foreign films that I wouldn't hear about otherwise,

Then you have guys like PewDiePie who i neither subscribe to nor can stand watching, who squeal fakely while playing games, and thats who's #1. Or attention whoring YT cam girls. And channels like Young Turks which have some 20 people working on each video they upload.

so it all depends what your channel is about. If its something i'd like and you drop a link I'd sub. But i do not sub to marketing oriented channels as I simply have no use for them. Things I need to know do not get distributed as public knowledge until way after most better marketers know about them, so I have other sources for that.

What kind of content are you posting? Who is your target audience?

You don't need fake views to make a video go viral.. thats the whole definition of viral.. viral means that if you show the video to 1 person that the referral traffic from that single view will be 1.001.. aka growing in measure. So to get a viral video.. man.. just produce some AMAZING content.

I would say Hurting yourself doing stupid things repeatedly.

That seems popular.

Recently I saw a Guy somersault into a giant cactus bush ON PURPOSE.
I just couldn't take my eye's off it. He Got so many barbs in him you just had to laugh!
It also Had over a Million views.

Never buy views and subscribers as this will not get you anywhere. Make a quality video people will enjoy watching and sharing. You can also post your video on different blogs and forums (do not post as spam) to get you channel higher popularity.

Just promote your video with YOUTUBE itself. Nothing can't compare with it. Cheers.

Video a car hitting an old lady carrying 30 cartons of eggs, have her legs up go in the air and do about 10 back flips before landing in a huge pile of horse crap.. then send someone by to pick pocket her and steal her Nike shoes. Maybe even have a dog pee on her on the way by. There is your first viral video.

Stay in the know on your favorite subjects, and be willing to make and upload videos within a day or two of breaking news. You never know when your video will be the one to spiral toward success.

Here are some possible ways to achieve YouTube fame:
1.) Create quality and Informative video along with the quality content.
2.) Share the video in different social networking sites.

1. The best way is to upload a controversial video, get several already famous YouTubers to link to you from within their video and give you shout outs. [But note: this takes a lot of time and effort and they can all choose to ignore you]

2. The best, efficient way is to upload a controversial video (so that it will get talked about), rank it for relatively high searches terms (type the phrase into YouTube and see if it appears automatically as suggested phrase, if so, it has relatively high searches) with relatively low competition (few videos showing up on the first page of YouTube search results with exact match video titles).
