With regards to it you actually need 10K views to join any network, under new guidelines set forth by YouTube, Freedom doesn't actually have a minimum subscriber limit in order to join, we only ask that you have public content posted regularly, have no copyright or community strikes and have an active monetisation policy (10K views).
As for your query, views and subscribers come naturally over time, I understand it can be a bit disheartening if your not seeing the influx that you want but you have to keep at it and working hard. Typically you can't go wrong if you :
- Create great content - always think would you watch your content
- Always reply to comments / messages as this shows you appreciation for support
- Provide great titles and eye catching thumbnails
- Utilise meta data such as tags to try and boost your SEO
- Try and upload on a schedule, if your viewers know when your going to upload then they might be more likely to stop by
