Explode Your YouTube Channel with Shorts: Our Top Tips

Interacting with Viewers

YouTube Shorts allows creators to interact with their audience in real time through comments. Responding to comments shows viewers that you care about them and makes them more likely to engage further.

  • Make an effort to respond to comments, especially in the first few hours after posting a Short. This boosts engagement.
  • Ask viewers questions to spur discussion. Simple questions like “What did you think of this Short?” or polls work well.
  • Heart comments you like to show appreciation. Viewers will be notified and feel encouraged to comment again.
  • If you get negative comments, respond professionally and avoid arguments. Kill them with kindness.
  • Consider going live after posting a popular Short to engage viewers in real time. The live chat lets you have conversations.
  • Feature your most active commenters in Shorts or give them shoutouts to build community. Loyal viewers will become advocates.

Interacting authentically and consistently with your audience helps build rapport. The more you engage, the more viewers will look forward to hearing from you.
