[9]

[11]

[13]
what the community tab and how it can
[15]
help you here we go hello and welcome
[21]
back to another video I'm Alan Spicer
[23]
your YouTube's certified expert and if
[25]
you're looking to start a YouTube
[27]
channel grow your YouTube channel or
[29]
push your brand out there onto the
[30]
second largest search engine on the
[31]
Internet
[32]
you should click Subscribe start
[34]
creating the YouTube community tab
[36]
effectively YouTube's Way of continually
[39]
allowing creators do boost their content
[42]
getting in front of their subscribers
[44]
flood the subscriber feed kind of a an
[47]
apology for breaking the feed five six
[50]
years ago it's a step towards a social
[53]
media element on YouTube because YouTube
[55]
is a social media platform so it's time
[59]
for them to build engagement and hook
[61]
you in for longer and now if you have
[63]
over a thousand subscribers and are
[65]
deemed worthy YouTube will give you the
[68]
community tab and it has some very
[70]
powerful engaging tools that can help
[73]
you hook people in build a community
[75]
start a conversation and over time build
[77]
watch time and grow your channel let's
[79]
go to the computer ok so this is the
[82]
community tab now some of you might not
[84]
have this yet it's released to most
[86]
channels over 1,000 subscribers it used
[89]
to be ten thousand subscribers but they
[90]
rolled it back of it the community tab
[92]
is kind of their facebook status pages
[95]
but for YouTube it's a way to engage
[98]
your subscribers it gets sent out to the
[100]
subscriber feed just like videos and
[103]
they can interact with them with polls
[105]
and videos and you can leave blog posts
[108]
there effectively now to use the
[111]
community tab you click on community and
[114]
you scan down and you'll see this box
[116]
now you can type whatever you want in
[118]
here so today we're going to do a quick
[122]
poll let's say we're asking people for
[124]
how they feel on this wonderful Friday
[126]
so you type in your question you'll
[128]
notice the top line is the biggest the
[130]
second line happens to be a little bit
[132]
smaller they do
[133]
to stagger you you main headline and
[135]
then explaining it down below could be
[137]
good for blog posts but if you're using
[139]
a poll and then click on this little
[142]
icon here which has add poll and he add
[144]
your answers now in this case I've given
[146]
them four options great bird in the
[149]
middle just don't ask
[150]
I also the last one don't ask is
[153]
normally something that I throw in
[154]
random whether I'm asking you know I'm a
[157]
dolphin or I like cake or anything like
[159]
that the reason for that is that if
[161]
you're giving them an answer good bad in
[164]
the middle and they don't want to answer
[165]
any of them they can answer the fourth
[167]
one and then still leave a comment
[168]
underneath because unfortunately for
[171]
some reason you have to vote to them be
[173]
able to comments and explain your vote
[175]
so when you're done you click post and
[177]
you'll see there it is it shows up and
[180]
you can give it a thumbs up and it says
[182]
how long it was posted for it will now
[184]
show up in the feed why is that
[185]
important because it shows a kind of
[188]
engagement it shows to YouTube that you
[190]
are still communicating now if I scroll
[193]
down you'll see I've continued to post
[195]
up people continue to comment here's a
[197]
poll that I did like one day ago once
[200]
again I've got 50 odd votes people
[203]
saying they're good the bad in the
[204]
middle where I'm a dolphin and then
[206]
people are commenting underneath these
[208]
once again you have to vote to be able
[211]
to have a comment and then you can
[213]
scroll down through all of the comments
[215]
just like you had a comment section now
[217]
you can also promote a video so what you
[220]
do is once again you're back at this
[221]
page you click on the video that you
[223]
want to promote so say you posted your
[224]
video at 7 o'clock in the morning you
[226]
want to promote it in the evening to
[227]
your American viewers or someone on the
[229]
opposite side of the world you'll be
[230]
able to pick any of your videos so in
[232]
this case I mean Christmas means to me
[234]
you put your title in here and you click
[237]
post now what this does is post
[240]
something like this here you go
[242]
once again it was the title the card the
[245]
description the views and they click
[247]
just like any other video it's a nice
[250]
way once again to engage you could do
[252]
the same with pictures so in this case
[254]
this would be hitting three thousand
[256]
subscribers and one about a day ago and
[258]
you just engage you can tell any story
[262]
you want very quickly to add a picture
[264]
like that you'd simply go to add image
[267]
you'd pick any picture that happens to
[269]
me on your hard drive so let's do this
[271]
one which is one of my colleagues there
[273]
you go and then you upload accordingly
[275]
it sits there a post no remember
[278]
that you can share your videos but you
[281]
can't share anybody else's videos as
[283]
well should you want to promote other
[284]
people across the platform and if you
[286]
want to tag anyone you simply type at at
[290]
the start and type the rest of their
[293]
name and you click on it and then when
[295]
you post it it pings them to say hey
[297]
Alan mentioned during your post Nick I
[300]
hope you like it nice boy wants to get
[303]
to cross-promote so that's how you can
[305]
use the YouTube community tab and hook
[307]
people in for longer push them towards
[309]
your videos maybe even get additional
[311]
watch time on recently published content
[313]
or collaborations with other people if
[316]
you need help to get more views or more
[318]
subscribers on YouTube I've done a
[320]
playlist up here and remember to hit
[322]

[323]
