Talking to viewers and responding to their feedback is key to growing your channel.
The more you engage with your audience, the more they'll engage with you. This is best done by responding to and hearting as many comments as possible on your videos.
We plan for the comments even when we're writing our scripts and coming up with the ideas for our videos.
- Answer the comment.
- Heart it.
- Pin a thoughtful comment so later viewers see what kind of comment belongs there.
What you can try now: Write the reply you will pin under the video.
When we upload a video, we see it as opening the doors to a convention hall.
YouTube is a conversation between the people watching, and a question in the video gives them a place to start.
Comments sections get easier to read when a useful comment is pinned at the top.
- A question the video does not answer for them.
- A shout-out to one recent viewer.
- A pinned comment that shows the tone you want next.
What you can try now: Draft that question while you are still writing the video.
