When I do my video game plan, I always review it again and ask myself, where I can put some piece of engagement that makes sense. For example, if I’m talking about a content plan I will say, “hit that like button if you’ve ever stressed out on what to post and you’ve posted the same day it needs to go live.” That makes your audience say,” Oh yes, that’s totally me,” and hit that like button instead of just saying hit the like button if you like this video. You need to give them an enticing reason to do it. The same goes for your video comments too. You can get you more engagement when it’s more specific and gives them a reason to want to engage with you.
