How replying to comments = SUCCESS

Great article. It would be also interesting to read an article about how you can comment on other videos in order to benefit from it. I created a thread in strategy part called 'How to network on YouTube/How to use YouTube strategically?'
 
I really didn't think that replying to comments I received was a big deal, but now I've set it as one of my aims to reply to most comments I get on any of my videos. Can't believe how important it actually it!
 
I try to reply to most comments, but sometimes I feel as though my replying looks spammy. Especially if there's 20 comments and 20 replies... I like replying to people, but yeah... sometimes I'm unsure whether I should or not...

You might think that it is all about making super amazing videos, which does get you views but not loyal fans. Basically it is like making friends. The more you talk to your viewers, the more likely they will stay and watch all your videos! Here is how!

1. Caring

If you reply to their comments it shows that you care! This is so important because when you reply to comments they will know that you are listening to them and that they will want to stay with your channel. This also helps them learn about who you are as a person NOT as a youtuber! So if you care about your viewers then reply to their comments!

2. Suggestions

Most of the time people will ask you to do certain things. So if you do them they will like you more! This is one of the secrets of how to grow your channel! If you take sugestions, more and more people will join in and sooner or later you could have thousands of people asking you for videos! It is always great to make videos that the viewers ask for!

3. Sharing

When you reply to a viewers comment, there is a very high chance that they will tell other people about it! A lot of youtubers who have low subscribers have none since they do not bother to reply! This makes the viewer think that you do not care and will simply leave. So remember when you reply to comments they WILL share the news with everyone, equaling new viewers!

4. Knowledge

You should know what YOUR viewers are like! For me my viewers are very engaging, they love enthusiasm and are very fond of my giveaways! So the more you know your viewers, the more likely you will make better videos for them. If you know what your viewers like the most, then do it! Increases views and your bonds with the fans!

5. Improvements

It may seem boring to reply to comments but in reality you are training yourself! The more you talk to fans, the better youtuber you become! There are many youtube channels with great reputations since they have very good bonds with the fans! As a person, you are improving your social skills and as a youtuber you are improving both view rates and subscribers! You are improving yourself and your channel every time you reply to comments!

So replying to comments has POWER! Try replying to as many comments as you possibly can and you will get results in the long run! Do it while you still can! Hope this helps you! Peace!

I looked at your channel and saw that you have over 22k subscribers. I am just wondering, does having such a large fan base make it more difficult to reply to everyone? I is easy for me being so small, but it just seems like the bigger you are the less time you would have to communicate with all tour fans.
 
How come big channels don't reply? It bothers me b/c I really like some and would love for them to reach out. Do you think they replied at some point? Is that what happens when you become big? You ignore people?

Well the thing is that people become mad when the big channels do reply on some comments, but not on most of them. In that case it's better to choose not to answer at all instead of answer to some comments I think.

Yeah I think it has something to do with expectation. If you see a YouTuber answer to comments, then you expect them to answer on your comment as well. But when that doesn't happen, you feel ignored. I think tho?:D And it's nearly impossible for a huge YouTuber to answer to all comments:D
