As a YouTube creator, you can learn a lot about your audience by regularly checking the comment section. You’ll discover a few things below each video, such as the number of total comments and how many likes/replies they’ve received. If you go beyond the numbers and read each comment, you’ll learn even more.
Die-hard viewers often share video ideas and valuable feedback you need to see. The more you reply to them and encourage their ideas, the tighter your community will become.
