New, inactive or small channel

[TheMobiusMan]

After my first submission for verification, I got this message. At the time I had over 6 hours of recorded content on my channel. I was trying to upload a new offline loop when I ran into some trouble with compatibility and loading, so I cleared out all of my old recordings (after I downloaded them, of course) and now have no recorded videos on my channel. I've filled out all of the other necessary requirements and uploaded banners and logos (both of them, ironically, were painted while running livestream for several hour sessions) and I've used procaster for about 3 hours in the past few weeks so my channel hasn't been inactive, and yet I still get this message each time I apply. I've had a channel for a few months now so it's not new, I've used it so it's not inactive, I can only assume that small means not many viewers?

Please help, I've tried to verify about 5 times now, and even though I'm leaving notes to the people supposedly checking my channel I'm still not getting anywhere. What can I do to get my channel verified at this point?

Thanks in advance.


Edit: Scratch all that, I'll try re-uploading a video and adding it to the autopilot.

Try going live and marketing your channel virally using social media sites like Twitter, facebook, YouTube, etc. Build up an audience in your niche while you build content. Content alone might not get you verified. Having a concept might.

So basically what you're saying is that to get viewers, I have to already have viewers. The whole purpose of getting verified is so that I can get into the guide to find more artists on the site. Not to mention, it doesn't say ANYWHERE in the verification application that I need to have X amount of viewers or Y amount of content or any relation between.

No, this is just my advice on how you might do it. Your 50 viewer limit should be enough to build up your channel's viewership. Being listed in the guide has nothing to do with the popularity of your channel anyway, except getting it listed higher up, and wont get you many more viewers. You need to work on that.
