Well, if you're asking how to get popularity, I don't think frequent uploads are the only important thing, but then again I couldn't care less for being well known, as to me, singing is a passion and I'm just happy sharing my work with public. :< I'd say quality is always more important than quantity, you can upload few covers a year and still get popular if your uploads are really high quality both singing and mixing wise. It's also important to get to know people in the community (for example by spending lots of time on twitter and talking to people there so that they know who you are), keep improving your singing and mixing skills (or if you find people who will agree to mix for you, then you can focus on the singing alone, but I like being independent and not having to wait for people to mix or animate for me, that's why I learned how to do both of those :D) and what else, hmmm... I would say that anime covers are more popular than Vocaloid ones, but then again, with anime songs you need to know which songs are highly copyrighted and can get taken down. I usually cover anime songs using fanmade instrumentals or piano/acoustic instrumental covers to make sure my work won't get me in trouble. For Vocaloid songs, if you cover super old songs like Magnet or Kokoro, there's a little chance people will find it as there's way too many of those. I'd definitely go for the newer popular ones if you really care about people noticing you. Singing in English also draws more fans to you as the youtaite community is an English-speaking one, but the most important thing is to actually have an interesting voice and be good at singing. :D If I was a newbie in this community I would definitely spend lots of time working on the quality of my covers, I would probably join like every possible chorus battle (check those out, they can help you with people noticing you too!) because they teach you SO much about both the community and skills that are useful in it and idk... I would definitely make friends and have fun with them, I guess that's what this community should be about - having fun and making friends with similar interests to ours :) Anyway, good luck making covers and I hope you'll have lots of fun with them ♥
