STOP asking for "Likes" and "Subscribes"

Love this video. I love to have another relatable video for them to watch. And a CTA to build my email.😊

[@youtubewatchings]

Your advices are truly valueable😊 The problem I have on my channel is that I ask the audience (over 300 followers) sweet spot questions but many are lazy & just write "thanks" or "cute", it feels so pointless to make videos if they only respond in this way. It might be a language barrier with none eng countries but i do have translations for them but they are too lazy to hit CC

[@SalmaJafri]

Just because people aren't engaging doesn't mean they aren't getting value. Try doing some livestreams if your goal is engagement. Otherwise remember that most people buy without ever engaging with content.

​@@SalmaJafrithank you Salma😊 Thats true, I think I just need some reasurance from my audience and when it feels a bit off i assume they dont like it. Live streams are good for those who show their face but im not😊

[@duncanalderdice]

This was actually useful information. I feared to begin with it was going to be the same useless garbage most "KZbin advice" videos have, but these tips were insightful. Thank you!

[@SalmaJafri]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Rebekah-BodyIllumination]

Thanks Salma!

[@DearWokeChristian]

Outstanding ideas. Thank you, SJ!

[@SalmaJafri]

Glad you like them!

Your right you never beg for likes it actually runs subscribers away.

[@MariasGlamour]

What to do at the start, how can we educate them at the start not having audience??

[@artscarcity1563]

You probably already know this but the "next video to watch" doesn't show up on the youtube video (at the end) when folks are using the 'News Feed Eradicator'

[@SalmaJafri]

Good point. That's a great reason to also make it available as a link in your description. I typically have a list of recommended videos to watch next in most descriptions. And I sometimes include a playlist in the Pinned Comment, which is easier to click for most folks.

Which video editing tool you had used for this video, Salma..👈

[@SalmaJafri]

We've switched to Davinci Resolve for editing (previously used Premiere Pro)

[@AJsGreenTopics]

I nominte you for the coach of the year. 🙂

[@SalmaJafri]

Aww thanks AJ, I love being a coach!

[@CinderAliLovesDisney]

Hi Salma. As always, you shared some great information. I think all the examples you gave were helpful and made sense. I like what you said about using visuals and gestures. There are many times I want to support others, but I have to keep the volume turned off on a video I have playing. Just due to a situation or location I may be in at the time. So that is very useful. ~Ali 🎀🏰💖

[@SalmaJafri]

Thank you for sharing that!

[@Dark_Angel_Knight]

What annoys me more is that as a Christian, I’m so tired of seeing shorts and videos of people using Jesus to manipulate people into liking the video and subscribing “If you love Jesus, then subscribe and like this video!” This just infuriates me so much, thanks for this video! ^^

[@skinsobeautiful]

You should upload a class on share ur videos are much more educational than everything I watched on skill share. Been a fan since 2020 .

[@SalmaJafri]

Thank you babe 💜

[@skinsobeautiful]

Ur always welcome 🙏

[@MariasGlamour]

But at the start there is not enough audience or they don't respond, especially if you are small KZbinr.

[@SalmaJafri]

Well, you keep asking, even if it sounds like you're just talking to yourself at first. Eventually people will start to join. Definitely takes work, but you have to clap for yourself before anyone else will!

[@MariasGlamour]

@@SalmaJafri ok I will do this now, thank you ❤️ I always think it's so odd without audience I do that. But now I am going to do this.

[@CheckFred]

I can't remember the last I put a youtube video up ... but I do enjoy keeping up with these video's as it keeps the old noggin active 🤠

[@SalmaJafri]

Thanks for watching Peter

[@erinhyer2030]

Excellent video, thanks! Download a Lead Magnet ... and perhaps leave comment: ask an easy "open-ended" question

[@SalmaJafri]

Thanks Erin. Those are 2 of my favorites as well! Engagement + Leads = winning combo!

[@greywithglasses]

Of course all five tips are valuable, but I think I will start with "click in the description below to download." Now I only need to figure out what to give them...

[@SalmaJafri]

Ooh that's a good one. I have a video in the works on how to create your first lead magnet...

[@greywithglasses]

@@SalmaJafri I'm looking forward to it.
