    Promoting your indie game with 0 budget or a low budget is very much possible. In this video I discuss few of the strategies I followed when I was starting out as a solo indie game developer and what platforms and tools I used to promote my games. Many of the promoting tools mentioned in this video are also tools I use today.

    That's a quite fast pace for videos. I would assume if people have subscribed they will slowly begin to unsubscribe if their feed is filled with videos every few hours. YouTube algorithms will also begin to drop your channel out of suggestions and other views if you pump out videos constantly without having noticeable user engagement at the same time from the viewers.

    There is quite a good bit of advice in this vid.
    Some, that I didn't know about.

    Idea: Another good way, to promote, or demonstrate your game, is to
    find nice YouTubers, who play a variety of games, including indie games
    on their channels. Yeah I know, that might not be easy to do.:p

    Note: Avoid the annoying, show off youtubers, or weird, questionable
    controversial ones. Those type of YouTubers are usually not a good idea.:p
