Ideas for videos and getting views on YouTune?

I've wanted to make YouTube videos for years, but my my fiancé destroyed or MacBook Pro when he spilled melted ice cream on it, but yesterday I found some cool apps to edit videos made on my iPhone. I made one video just as a test. I'm limited to only make videos where I talk to the camera, so I want to make some funny videos with me just talking about funny things. I want to make rant videos (fall kinda into funny) where I just rant about silly stuuf, and I also want to make videos about serious things.

So I'm looking for ideas on what topics to talk about and also how to get viewers I don't want to make video NO ONE watches. I'm not looking for a ton of subscribers, just some.

So please help me out guys please

Spread it on facebook or blogs

Maybe share videos on Facebook and tell them to share to their friends and countiniu

Well I guess you are looking for some popularity on YouTube.
I have a couple of tips if you want to read and benefit so you can get more YouTube Views.

1- Make a good quality video, and if possible set it to high definition. Also make it widescreen. People prefer to watch videos in HD and fully wide including me.
2- Choose popular topics and review your videos before releasing them to the public.
3- Try to use content targeted keywords and create eye-catching thumbnails. I don't know why people look at thumbnails before watching the video but I guess the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover" goes wrong here.
4- Share it with your friends and family, spread it on social networking websites like facebook, twitter etc.
5- Post it on your blog, or forums like digitalpoint etc. And you can even post it on digg, stumbleupon etc.
6- Make the videos short and to the point so you get good rating.
7- Interact with the commenters and subscribers.
8- Add in RELATED video responses to videos which are already popular. 9- Ask people to subscribe saying you'll upload new content regularly, use the call to action strategy and you could ask for it at the end of the video.
10- Add in a link at the end which would take your user to your other videos.
11- Be patient, it takes time to get noticed. However if you are not really patient, there are some paid methods out there aswell.

Check out http://www.YouTubeViews.Info and http://www.YouTube-Views.Net
Those are two sites I would recommend since I used their services and I trust them. I don't know how they do it but whatever method they use seems to have worked for me.
I have gotten about 50K+ Views on almost all of my videos and average views is 220K+, plus my subscribers list is about 11000+ so yeah you could say I'm a big youtuber who's giving you these tips. So yeah trust me.

If your video is stuck on 301+ views, don't worry it's just a new video and YouTube wants to verify the views count to see if it's real views or not.It'll go away as soon as you get more views.
Ask yourself this question, why do you want so many views? To get more popular, to earn money, to rank higher in search engines, do get more subscribers and the list goes on. So work hard for it or trust an expert with the job.
You can even earn money from YouTube once you get popular. Like Google Adsense or YouTube partnership. So do try that you are able to benefit from that extra revenue

I also know of a software you might want to use. It's automated YouTube Marketing, so yeah it's pretty cool!

Hope I helped!
If so share this info around with your friends.

I don't know if this helps but if you are looking to be more popular on social networks and gain more followers/views/likes etc.etc. You can try to order some from social promotions websites. Then the real ones will start to rise!
What i choose is socialvolcano.net
Because they are safe and their support is top notch.
I tried some more but this is just my opinion.
Give it a shot

You can do like Ray William Johnson and talk about funny and viral videos, that does always attract views! There's a ton of websites with funny videos, here's one that I visit every day that collects funny videos from different websites:
