But by using it, you can easily post updates to your subscribers and notify them about new videos. Remember that your subscribers are your captive audience, and by staying in touch with them, you will quickly build a loyal following. This article will teach you how to make community posts on YouTube. It will also give you a few useful tips for writing a compelling description.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_community_post_on_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>Creating a community post on your YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to promote your YouTube channel is by creating a community post. These are posts you can make for your subscribers that may include pictures, videos, polls, and more. These posts appear under the &#8220;Community&#8221; tab on the channel&#8217;s page. To create your own community post, visit YouTube&#8217;s Community tab and choose from the list of options. You can also post links to other channels and other content.<\/p>\n<p>A community post is similar to a video, but is not visible to viewers in their news feeds. This type of post is primarily aimed at subscribers, although the algorithm and SEO factors are the same as those of a video. However, sometimes it can be pushed out to viewers based on their interests or your content. If your post contains pictures, create a photo gallery and upload a link to the images.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a community post is a great way to connect with your fans and grow your subscriber list. It allows you to share your latest videos and announcements with your audience. For more tips on attracting fans, you can create a community tab. You can enable it in your channel by visiting Settings &gt; Community. After you have enabled the Community tab, you can start posting and engaging with your subscribers. You&#8217;ll build a loyal audience fast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Writing_an_effective_description\"><\/span>Writing an effective description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having a great video on YouTube is not enough, you must also write an effective description. Not only must your description include important keywords, but it should also capture the attention of your viewers. While YouTube allows up to 5000 characters, only the first 200 are visible in search results and are called &#8220;above the fold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When writing a description for your video on YouTube, try to avoid making the text seem too corporate or formal. Try to create a conversational tone to encourage engagement. This way, you make your viewers feel like they&#8217;re talking to someone, and they&#8217;re more likely to want to learn more. The level of formality depends on your brand, but keep the tone casual. For example, a YouTube influencer&#8217;s description displays her personality, while still keeping it light and fun.<\/p>\n<p>When writing for SEO purposes, try to avoid sounding like a robot. This can make your copy sound overly technical and unfriendly. It&#8217;s better to sound friendly and relatable. This way, your viewers will be more likely to read your description because it&#8217;s written by a real person. It&#8217;s also helpful to include links to your website and other content that can help them find your video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reaching_1k_subscribers\"><\/span>Reaching 1k subscribers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Community tab on YouTube is one of the best ways to engage with your subscribers. Once you reach one thousand subscribers, this tab will automatically activate. You can, however, enable it manually if you are at a lower level of subscriber count. Once enabled, you can post videos and engage with your community, and promote other channels. Here&#8217;s how to enable it. Just follow the steps below. If you don&#8217;t have a Community tab yet, you can enable it by following these steps:<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you should understand the difference between a video and a community post. A community post is a non-video update that is displayed on a separate tab when someone visits your channel. These posts are primarily shown to subscribers, but they can also be shared with other viewers based on the content. You can also include behind-the-scenes photos in your community posts to further engage your audience.<\/p>\n<p>The community tab on YouTube is a great tool for attracting new subscribers. It&#8217;s also a great place for creators to share updates and notify subscribers of new videos and other content. This gives them a captive audience. Make sure to regularly update your fans and stay engaged with them &#8211; and you&#8217;ll soon have a loyal following. So what&#8217;s the catch? All it takes is a little bit of effort and time.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"299\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mDFwuHE1wc8\" width=\"534\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make Community Posts on YouTube Many YouTube creators don&#8217;t use the Community tab to its full potential.
