so how do you get people to comment on your video we are going to share with you five tips coming up
what's up influencers Benji here Sean here this is video influencers helping build your influence income and impact with online video and
today we're talking about comments and why are they important and there's a few
reasons why you actually want to get comments one they help your videos
rank higher when your videos get engagement that is a trigger to Google
to say something's happening here we're gonna put it higher in searched number two they
help build community like when you have an engaged community your audience goes from
just kind of being passive viewers to being a part of a family and a dynamic
of community and then number three they also help you get feedback from your
audience like you want this to be a two-way conversation not just a passive
viewing experience so comments are critical but how do you get them so our first tip is
ask your audience is such a simple thing but so many people not only forget but
feel like you can't do it I'll tell you some of the best youtubers always ask their
viewers to comment yes so important that you just give that call to action
like hey guys leave a comment on this video and so include that in every video
no matter what and then secondly give a specific question or reason that's not
too complicated and so you probably notice we include a segment on our videos called
question of the day and that's something specific that you can engage with in the
comments but we also don't want to make it to complex it's not a question of the day
tell us the 15 things that you like the most I mean that's gonna shut people down and so if you can get
something that is a quick answer than that helps people be able to comment
quick and easy engage tip number three highlight the comment
one of the reasons your viewers actually comment on your videos and because they
want to know that you're reading the comments you are aware that they're there
is in our daily vlogs we actually highlight comments like maybe three to
five every single day we'll actually put a screenshot of their comments we used to
actually just read the comments like those two little strategies you can do
to really get people not only to remember to comment but to want to comment
yeah that's huge like if you can include comments in your video verbally
or visually then people know that it matters and know that something's
happening so include comments in your videos so tip number four is to make sure
that you comment back and engage it doesnt matter of getting one comment on your
video reply to everybody that you can and try to specially when you're starting out
reply to everybody like take the time because what that will create is a
culture of common team and people will know that yeah there's engagement here
and they won't feel like I've commented on the last 10 videos I've never heard
anything
forget it tip number five now this is kind of a tactic that I've seen being used and I
use as well use another social media platform to deliver those comments so you
can use Instagram Twitter ask your views hey I just put up a video tell me what
you think about it in the comments area specifically a tactic that
I'm seeing work really well as snapchat comments so snapchat if you guys don't
already know it's a very like low engagement platform there's nowhere to comment
there's no one to like so they want to respond to your snapchat I find that
when you do a call to action in your snapchat to go comment your videos you can get tons
of comments and you wouldn't want to do this all the time but one of the
influencers we interviewed did this one time because she wanted to gets
engagement on specific videos she said hey guys would mean alot to me if you go
comment on this video right now snapchat it's a great way to get that instant call to
action and bring up that engagement question of the day what are your tips
