Do I need social media?

20+ means 20000? Or 2000? I doubt I reach any so comment section it is haha

My bad, I mean 20 lol that's a nice number to start with bc those people will share your stuff then it will easily double.

I think social media is another way to reach out to your subscribers. It is also easy to mention if something came up without having to create a video on-line. Not everyone uses Twitter or Facebook, but I bet if you are suddenly afk they might come looking. If there is a question about why you are suddenly AFK another subscriber that does follow your Facebook or Twitter will answer the question for you.

I don't think you NEED any Social Media accounts but I think it can help in terms of growth, viewer interaction may be a little easier, and promotion of the channel.

Thanks for your feedbacks. I do think it could help but I am scared it is too much time consuming I will see how this all youtube thing goes

Of course you need social media! What do you think YouTube is? YouTube is a form of social media.

I think social media is very important to use for your channel but it shouldn't be the only way to market your channel. I plan on getting out when the weather gets warm getting out of the studio and interacting with people as much as I can. Im not going to force the channel down their throats but I have some plans on ways to interact and to make it fun.

As a older YouTuber myself, I am way behind on social media. That being said, it is VERY important. Social media is the new billboard.

I agree with Franklin youtube is a social media and as such is already consuming a lot of my time.

I know there is a j-vlogger community but I just follow a few people as they always seem to get into trouble with each other ​

Moved this to Strategies & Technique Advice. I personally don't use much of other social media....but I do believe it can be effective. Many of the larger Youtubers use it. It's a way to reach more people. It's a way to allow people to follow you in more ways than one. It can allow your videos to reach a larger amount of people. Say if someone misses your video in the Youtube feed, they might catch it on Twitter for example. I am not telling you to use social media.....as I am a busy mom of 3, I find it hard to keep up with everything anyway. But I do believe it can help

A fellow mommy I have only one child and I do not want the youtube thing to take time away from her that is why I am scared to start social media, I usually film edit , surf, subtitle when she is asleep
