Hey guys, I have a YouTube channel as some of you guys have probably known and I decided to create a new YouTube channel. But I'm wondering this, is there a way to increase views without actually the need of buying youtube views?

My channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/michkat0

Simple post interesting videos and sit back and wait, I think that trying to push up the view number by "buying views" in one way or another is a bad idea.

yeah i think telling everybody to share your videos is the only natural way.

Creating another channel will split your views so probably will not help. Use Twitter and Facebook to create connections so that you can post comments or (when definitely relevant) the link to your channel. Local newspapers and interest groups are good places to join a discussion about the same topic as your own videos, and allow their Twitter or Facebook readers to find your profile. People will be more likely to follow the links the older your profile is and the more hits, friends and comments it already has.

Make videos that people will want to watch, and advertise your channel/videos when you can (for example, on forums that allow that sort of thing)

In order to get people interested in your videos, your videos must first be interesting to people.

Determine where your interests intersect with the interests of your target audience, and produce a video that expresses that intersection in a unique way - in a style that is all your own - and you'll likely attract your target audience.

Post something that everyone else has already done, and people will stay away in droves.

Simple: Advertise, advertise, advertise. The easiest and cheapest way to do that is to simply tell as many people about it as you can. Go to forums, Steam group chats, etc. Tell people what your channels and videos are about and people are bound to be interested in them. Try to find forums and threads which are about the same thing that your videos are, such as the same game or movie or hobby or whatever.

Get subscribers. Subscribers get notified when you upload new videos.

This is like saying "become popular" and makes no sense to most aspies. However, it's "easy": You get (read: earn) subscribers by uploading interesting/inspiring/fun videos. (Or by uploading something so aweful that everybody want to show their friends how aweful it is.)

Find a topic to create videos about that is popular. You could, for example, make a few "let's play"-videos/series.
Popular "let's play"-commentators are often funny/enthusiastic.
I personally hate commercialized commentators who fake enthusiasm.
