9:00 Strategies for responding to comments

You're going to get a lot of comments on your channel. If you aren't, something's wrong with your engagement.

Strategies for each type of comment - Unless you're handling bulk comments, look at them on the front-end video player.

Types of comments

Support: Appreciate them. You could use a tool like VidIQ for canned responses. (I write organic replies to every comment)

Humor: These can take the form of a joke from the video. Acknowledge them because you're showing you have a sense of humor.

Question: Don't get overwhelmed, and don't enable behavior you don't want on an ongoing basis. These can be great ideas for videos.

Criticism/Advice (rude clues): Take notes.

Trolling (troll trophies): You can choose to respond to ignore these. Most of the time, I just downvote them.

Spam: Report, hide user, add blocked words to your channel list.

R Action Step - Respond to Comments

?  Quick Tip: When you're smaller, it's valuable to interact with every comment, of every type.

?  Quick Tip: When your channel is larger, pick a timeframe early in the time your video is published, respond to several comments. Come back to the video 24-48 hours later to check for top-voted comments, respond to those.
