From Audience to Community

Lightsen

Animation Yey!
I've heard it mentioned again and again from youtube experts to "make your audience a community" but i never really thought it applied to my channel.
I always thought it was something for those people that show their faces, post regularly, and have a funny name for their subs as a group.

well Firstly let me recommend twitter for slow uploaders, because it has allowed me to really build an audience off youtube, and is a place where I can share polls, WIP bits and screens from the next video, and ive seen great results with it! people actually care enough to tweet at me, retweet my stuff, and even make fanart!

So this week I have made a Discord server by request, and I've been blown away that over 50 people have joined from me posting one tweet about it. and they aren't just liking or retweeting messages anymore, they are sharing their art, animations, they are talking with each other, and watching each others live streams. It's really feeling like a lovely small community, and I wish I had made one earlier!

TLDR; You can make a community from almost any type of content, getting involved with your viewers is great!
 
Thats awesome bro. I would like to do the same but I honestly dont think it would be possible.
I don't know your content, but its basically a case of finding people with similar interests and getting them together, who knows, maybe you can do it through livestreaming?

I think anything is possible here on YouTube, it just takes time and effort. And people.
yep all up to the people!
 
If you have a personal twitter account, would you recommend starting a new twitter account focussing just on your channel, or just bundle in your channel news in with your personal account?

I personally use my twitter as both. That way, people who are watching me could see what type of person I am off the screen.

I dont have a personal account, so im not sure, but i would imagine seperating the two would be best, because you never know when a troll will scour through your tweets to find something they can use against you, or some personal info.

The key here is to have no self-esteem to begin with. xD
