The YouTube Community Tab is a powerful tool that most creators are underusing.
If you want to get more 1 of 10s on your videos, you must start leveraging it.
Right now, creators just upload their videos and hope their subscribers see them.
That’s not enough.
The creators I work with have seen significant increases in views by priming their audience ahead of time.
For example, if we're releasing a video titled "Productivity Masterclass: My System For Beating Procrastination", we start a week early.
We post a question in the community tab: "What's your biggest productivity hack?"
This gets the conversation going.
Next, we follow up with a poll to tease the topic even more.
Then, we announce the video release date and share a behind-the-scenes photo. (btw, photos seem to do waaay better on the community tab than videos/links)
Finally, we pose a debate-worthy question like, "Which is better for productivity: Notion or Evernote?"
This keeps the topic top of mind.
When the video drops, they’re already engaged and eager to watch.
This strategy works.
Use it.
Watch you get more 1 of 10s.
If you are, how are you using it to get more views?
