Answering Rudi Regarding Comments

You posted these questions today to a message that I posted back in November 2024 when I was posting a win that I had 500 comments.

>>What do you think makes people feel so moved to comment on your videos?<<

Of the nearly 6000 comments on my videos two words appear over and over again. They are inspiration and encouraged. I believe that a lot of people are inspired by the fact that an 81 year-old can start a YouTube channel. If I can do it, they can do it.

>>Have you noticed certain topics or ways of speaking that trigger more engagement?<<

I have videos that talk about aging and also videos on starting a YouTube channel. The two keys on successful videos are either solving a problem or touching an emotion. I have a video where I share about being adopted and another video about how does your dog feel when you die? The comments in those two videos are heart whelming. My viral video on how to start a YouTube channel at 80 touched people that didn’t think they could do their own channel.

>>Do you ask for comments on purpose – or does it just happen naturally?<<

I did in the beginning, but over the last couple of months I do not ask for comments as often as I used to.

>>How much do you think your replies influence people to join in?<<

I do reply to every single comment that I get. If a person takes the time to make a comment then I can sure take the time to add a reply. Also about half of the comments I get I actually go and look at the YouTube channel of the one who posted the comment. And I will often comment on their channel.

>>And… what would you tell someone like me who’s starting out and barely gets any comments?<<

Solve a problem, touch an emotion. Ask people what they think about what you’re saying and leave a comment below.
