How to get more comments on YouTube | Adrian’s Journal #191205

Something’s wrong! I’ve been documenting and posting videos, BUT there’s little engagement. What can I do better?

How to get more comments on YouTube?

This is the subset to a bigger question about how to make a more engaging video.

1. Make an intentional error on unimportant data.
2. Shoot your video in a different environment from the usual.
3. Shout out your viewers in the video.
4. Pronounce words wrong intentionally.
5. Instead of just telling the viewer to leave a comment, make it easy for the viewer by asking a question and telling the viewer to leave the answer in the comments.
6. Highlight and include comments in your video. Show viewers that they matter.
7. Use another social platform to tell people to leave a comment on your YouTube video.

Number five is the biggest actionable takeaway.

From now on I am going to change the way I end my videos…

Why? When there is engagement, YouTube will show your video to more people. It works on LinkedIn and Facebook too.

Do you have your own way to get more comments and engagement?

Leave your answer in the comments below.

See you tomorrow!
