I wish more larger KZbinrs knew this!! I have KZbinrs I used to adore and have followed for years, but when they reply on KZbin (if they do) it’s so lame and generic….even when you’re the first comment. I get not being able to reply to all comments, but try not to be lame & unappreciative‼️ we are literally why you are HERE!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

They forget the community that got them to where they are. Agree. A little effort goes a long way. 🙏🏻💛

[@Carnivorenursekim]

@@ThinkMediaTV yes it does!!

[@RadaxianaOracleTarot]

I noticed in my niche the creators never reply, most of them even have the comments turned off. It’s sad. I love so much reading the comments that people leave on my channel, I’m a small one but get hundreds of them and I make time to reply and will always do it. I want to share why. If someone took 10-20 min from their busy life to watch my video and write a comment I want that person to know I “see him/her” I even reply to negative ones with kindness because maybe my kind text back will brighten their day.

[@shalethao]

@@Carnivorenursekimi totally agree with you. You couldn’t have said it better.

[@Carnivorenursekim]

@@RadaxianaOracleTarot that’s so awesome 🤩 I love it! I always reply to all of my comments too and I try to actually get to know my followers and usually know their real first names and call them that in my live chats. It’s like building relationships, I have true friendships now because of it!

[@derryXDINES]

Pat is a class act. I'm a fan of his from his personal channel but also have been following the growth of his pokemon channel through my son's interest in that niche, and it's such an amazing community. I thought I might bump into Pat at VidSummit, so when I told my son, he sent me with a couple of pokemon cards for Pat to sign. Pat not only signed them and let me record a video to send to my son, he also gave us a signed DPM sleeve. He didn't have to do any of it, but he took those 5 minutes and it won us over even more.

[@whatsupboomer]

Long time reader, listener, and follower of Pat Flynn. Met him in an elevator one time :) Not surprising when he speaks, I and others pay attention. In my future community, I will focus on story that changes their day first 🔥

[@IanwithIan]

Hey! I’m the guy in the video at the end! Still to this day, I’m very happy to be in that community! ❤

[@TanyaAlizaTV]

Great video! 'Embrace your weird' is such a great message for building a community!

[@IMFitShameka]

If there is a go to about community building it’s always Pat Flynn!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

100%

[@BrianReplies]

This video here is why I don't think that we have as much to worry about from "AI Faceless Channels" as many people think. They can pump out 20 spam videos per day. But nobody is going to be following the path laid out in this video. So over time...the Algo will bury those channels and their videos and life up those made by people who can build community. The cream will rise to the top.

[@Procrastin_Sensei]

Well said brother

[@ChristianGardner]

👍🏻 agreed

[@krisproaffiliate]

Yes, I really don't get all the hype about AI faceless KZbin channels because sooner or later they all will be gone anyway.

[@StringBanger]

I agree but we also can't argue that there are alot of faceless AI generated channels that are realizing passive income. There are alot of people that want and will subscribe to mindless content.

[@leadgenjay]

Pat's insights on building a connected community are very important.

[@irunoffroad]

Pat Flynn, that is by far the most though provoking video I have watched since I started my channel a year ago . Thank you

[@RedHeadCrypto]

I love this type of content! I've red Pat Flynn's Superfans book and in combination with videos like this, everyone can get the courage they need to start their own content creator journey. Good luck everyone! ✨

[@SatishTorani]

So refreshing to hear some new perspective

[@BaintonTV]

Simply superlative advice and insight, Pat and Sean! Thank you! The personal touch is so important (and so imperative), especially in this distant, impersonal age of tech where marketers are 'solely' focused on scaling without this critical human interaction. Look forward to purchasing the book--and Sean, btw, with this channel, you are REALLY crushing it with the free value you are providing to us, the viewers...and I truly appreciate your immense generosity in this regard!

[@HYBERIUS]

Ramit! Literally change my budgeting skills, right now I'm watching your videos pat cause I know your teaching will give me a lot of benefits as well.

[@learnENGLISHwithdebi]

THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING PRESENTATION! The incorporating of the verbal illustrations all throughout really helped to solidify the points he was making. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend!

[@learnENGLISHwithdebi]

@@ThinkMediaTV You too! Enjoy your weekend with your family! No work! 😁

[@KristenMcNamara]

Once again free information that is priceless and super valuable - thank you!

[@Madoxbeatbox]

I felt like watching a comedy special, but went out smarter out of this video. AMAZING TALK!

[@Thejourneybegins-ad27am]

It was very interesting! And funny! And educational! Will def use some of Pat's advices. Thank you! ❤

[@madebykap]

Thank you for sharing this you guys this message from the event was very well received.

[@Howtomom]

Thank you so much Think media team. This was so helpful and inspiring. Iam about to start my KZbin channel and I was freaking out but this gave me so much courage to kick fear in the face. Thank you

[@RetiredMilitaryTravelers]

Such a great video! We have learned so much and are excited to try these strategies.

[@keeganlifecoach]

Love all of this, Keep up the great work ⚔

[@blair8619]

Definitely a video to come back to for reference. Amazing

Pat knows how to make our business fly with best passive methods for more than a decade. Great share

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ProjectGentlemenPH]

Wow, this was really timely for me and the current condition of my channel on how to level up. Thanks a lot Think Media and Patt!

[@franchise.licensing.institute]

This was absolutely amazing. Somebody please let Pat know I derived value from this presentation!

[@TheWarriorKingsPodcast]

Thank you for this video! :)

[@BizBob2]

Community building is a huge deal! It's over looked and often outsourced. I get that it can be time consuming but the payout is almost always worth the efforts.

[@EmmanuelUdoiwod]

I love how you engage us regularly. How do you have the strength to do YT almost daily

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thank you for sharing

[@TheFunAccountant]

Given Pat's success since 2021 in starting a new channel in a new niche, when he gives advice, you have to take it seriously. There's no question about that. Thanks, his points gave me a new sense of direction.

[@amonifinau4048]

Thank you!

[@TravelinSmitty]

Awesome stuff here! Thanks for sharing!

[@ByteSizedJourneys]

Sean, how do you leverage the analytics tools in studio to LEARN who your audience is in the FIRST place? Or is it a bit of “you CREATING your own audience” by doing what you think is best to attract the people you think who should watch you? Is this an exercise that follows the “only time will tell” statement?

[@serenitygardenaviary]

Studio can show you how your video is being received. Looking at real time views 60 min, shows you whether your thumbnail is effective

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

Always sooo good value :) have been following Pat for soo long, he is soo good :)

[@StraitJacketRC]

Killer stuff, thank you!

[@LadySurvivalWoW]

OMG so I'm watching this.. listening to all your tips.. how you were giving specific examples of how if someone connects to something, like "oh wow I like Back to the Future too!" then they become closer to you, they become a fan. Well that moment just happened to me with you!!! I'm here just watching this, I'm 12 minutes in, and boom there it is. You mention how you played WORLD OF WARCRAFT and I was immediately like OMG HE PLAYS WOW??!! I LOVE WoW!!! I'm legit here watching this to get tips because I'm trying to grow a WORLD OF WARCRAFT youtube channel My mind is kind of blown how quickly and out of the blue it happened just from the mention of my favorite game. And now I'll always associate Pat Flynn as someone whos played WoW and now I think you're dope as hell hahaha I just think its crazy because I've never seen you before, you were explaining how fans are made.. and the exact thing you were describing happens, happened.

[@PICK3R]

Pat crushing this talk! Wow.

Brilliant, thank you

[@Hieutrantheinsuranceman]

I’ve been on KZbin for more than 10 years and just recently started uploading and to be honest, I have haters, laughing at me for replying to all the comments. Truthfully, without my villagers commenting, I wouldn’t feel right, making videos. I love having conversations and one day my channel will grow to 1,000,000 and I have every villager to thank, so if you are a free thinker, please consider visiting.

i give my honesty and i do the same on my channel i just got to improve ill get there ive beaten so my odds i just got to get over this hump huuuh lol @@ThinkMediaTV

[@SOSEntrepreneursHub-EfieneFie]

hello by a new subscriber❤

[@TheRealEstateMedellin]

I have stupid question. 🙋 my channel is about real estate - my first videos were horrible. (Nothing new there) is it valid to re edit those videos ?I am not going to take down the old videos. But I want to do re edits of them and posts them for 2 reasons. First I want to make them better and measure and the second reason is that I want to have them as back up for when I don’t have new properties to post. I only at 285 subscribers but I am 110% committed to my channel. Does what I said makes sense?

[@drolugbengaadetitunTV]

What about if i do not have a clear cut niche?

[@ChattieCathie]

Who wants to have Super Fans? Even the "connected community" as Pat explained it is something I don't want. But I get what he means just wouldn't want it to the extreme. Its kinda scary actually. I think an active audience is a happy medium.

[@EntrePinoySaTimog]

“Superfans aren’t created the moment people see you for the first time, they’re created by the moment you create for them overtime” superb

[@eddy_creative]

Wait, when did Pat do this talk? I checked deep pocket monsters and it has almost 1 million subs..... thats crazy

[@630DownTime]

I will remember this comment for sure this time of night 1am I’m trying to learn how to make good content for my channel I just started learning about how to make videos by watching myself and trying to work on the mistakes that I notice myself making. However I’m working on my 10th video and I’m beginning to feel more connected with the process and I am here because I am looking for inspiration and information but that’s not it I’m also beginning to realize how much I really want to become a professional KZbinr. I want to share this with you because I am learning how to make videos by making videos I say that to say this get started learn from the best to learn what to correct I used to want subs and views but now I want to become a better KZbinr i definitely 👍 this video and watched from start to end

[@Remember-Death]

[@frostylonewolf1700]
