A little about me first otherwise this makes no sense. I used to run three channels which I recently reduced to one. I want to know how I can be more engaging to my audience on my new channel.
How can I get my audience to be more engaging?
- Thread starter That Awkward Giraffe
- Start date
You can always try asking questions in your videos, I think a lot of the time you just have to keep growing your channel and hopefully more people will turn up.
And being relevant is key, talk or ask about something that is relevant and relatable so people will react with their own stories get close and personal 
Asking questions that relevant to the topic, and make them good questions (Example: You do a dog video, don't ask "What do you think should wear?" Ask "What is your favorite dog?" And always further encourage them to leave their thoughts in the comments below. Hope it works out for you!
Definitely ask questions that people can answer in the comments (like the previous replies have said) , and you always wanna tell a story. That always gets people more engaged. When your channel ends up being less a video and more the story of your life, that's when you get popular and have interaction
Yeah talk to your fans, if you had 3 channels then you must have some regular fan base, talk to them about improving your channel.
It takes a while man. I remember when I first made my channel and it took until 300 subs before I actually got an interactive audience and even then it was only a few regulars from the freedom! forums. Like everyone says asking at the end of the videos questions and stuff helps. People love to talk about controversial topics. Just be careful to not ask something that will cause a ruckus. Last thing you want is a Nixon race war on your hands.
Thought if I'm doing youtube again I might as well come back and see if anyone even remembers me. Good to know I'm not entirely forgotten about
Of course not... we're freedom family!Thought if I'm doing youtube again I might as well come back and see if anyone even remembers me. Good to know I'm not entirely forgotten about

1- Upload on a schedule - meaning upload on certain days so your viewers would know when you upload ,but when starting DON'T upload daily because remember ,no one has seen you before. Upload your best content, not content that you need to upload .People want to see the best content.
2- You need great software. By this I mean Photoshop , Sony Vegas, even MovieMaker /any other software out there that does a good job. Thumbnails need to be beautiful to catch the viewer's attention so I REALLY recommend Photoshop.
3- Your microphone will need to be a decent one to be able to be heard because the main thing about a video is the audio, no one would watch a YouTuber with bad audio. It's a proven fact. This comes into vlogs, commentaries, all types of videos.
Hope I've been helpful.

I haven't decided on a upload schedule, but it's starting to look like everyday as well as a lot of my videos are going to be vlogs with just thoughts I want to talk about (gaming videos are coming up next week). As of great software I'm on a low budget so I using software such a cyberlink and bandicam as well as some software what was on my computer to begin with, the vlogs are made with just my phone. For gaming I use a headset. I want to be good but I also want to connect to my audience on a human level. Thanks for the tips I will apply where I see necessary.
Try just asking. Honestly asking some questions or saying comment bellow on what you think can really help. I love comments on my videos, and I was not getting any! So I just started asking people what they thought to my face camera while I was doing let's plays, and I started getting comments. Now when I record, I treat it like all my viewers are in the room with me,
