How to Get a Lot of Friends on YouTube
If you have a YouTube account that you post videos to on a regular basis, the next step is to make friends and start networking. People who "subscribe" to your YouTube channel are different from people who add you as a "Friend." Subscribers will only watch your videos if they appeal to them, but "friends" will often respond to your videos, comment on your channel and link to your videos themselves.

Click on the comment text box under the video and type a comment. Make sure your comment is relevant and adds to the existing conversation so that the maker of the video won't mark it as spam.

Hit the "Attach a video" link next to the comment box to post a "video response" if you'd rather make a comment with a video instead of a text comment. Click on one of the three options "Record a video," "Choose a video" or "Upload a video" when the next page loads. Your video response will appear under the video you are responding to. This is a good way to get noticed on popular YouTube channels.

Click on the username of a YouTube user that you would like to be friends with. When their channel page load, scroll down and click on the "Add friend" link located next to their user picture. This sends a message to the user, which they can "confirm" if they want to be your friend. Once they confirm, they will show up in your "Friends" section on your channel page.
