Thats how it is done. It is very rare that a channel grows without first really putting in the work. Here are a few ways to get you started:
Learn the algorithm and best practices. Learn how to use seo. This is all a given and can be found on YouTube. If you aren't doing this then I wouldn't worry about the rest.
Make content that is very niche specific and share it to Facebook and Reddit groups. Find blogs that cover the subject and ask if they will review it - or offer to write a piece on it for their blog. This tactic of finding groups and influencers in your niche can stretch from contacting other youtubers to contacting magazines. The more you do this the more you'll know where to send your content and get good results.
Learn to network. Learn to network. Learn to network. This will lead to everything from shout outs to collaborations. These will give you huge boosts throughout your YouTube career.
Titles and thumbnails. Make them better. Then make them better.
