1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:04,830
All right, so now I want to talk about the commenting method to grow, it's a growth strategy that

2
00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:09,120
a lot of people across the board use, both small and big channels, especially the big channels when

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:09,880
they were starting out.

4
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:12,950
A lot of them talk about using this commenting method to grow.

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,060
It's something that I used initially to gaining a lot of, you know, a lot of free traffic and a lot

6
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,790
of, you know, potential early on subs and views.

7
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:22,920
Someone explain what it is and how you can implement it.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,130
Right.

9
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:24,570
So what is it?

10
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:30,120
First and foremost, basically, the commenting method means that you're just commenting on other related

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,270
channels to get more visibility and free traffic.

12
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:35,970
That's going to bring you potential views and potential subs.

13
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:39,990
And you might be asking yourself, how is that going to bring you the potential of using potential subs

14
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:44,350
by commenting on other channels while you're commenting on other related channels?

15
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:44,610
Right.

16
00:00:44,730 --> 00:00:47,940
And the whole idea is you want to rank your comments on those related channels.

17
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:50,310
And I'm going to show you how to do that here in a second and talk about it.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,650
But you have to understand that if you can get more visibility and you can get more eyes on your comment

19
00:00:56,130 --> 00:01:00,360
and you're constantly showing up under a channel where you're constantly showing up in a certain community

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,950
that's related to the videos that you're creating and the niche and the topics that, you know, you've

21
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:08,490
built your channel around more than people that are always on those videos.

22
00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:10,680
People are always on those other related channels.

23
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:11,610
Guess what?

24
00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:16,760
They're more inclined to be interested in also your channel, because it's related to your channel.

25
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:17,040
Right.

26
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:21,870
So if you're commenting and you're constantly being seen by the audience that frequents a channel that's

27
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:26,880
related to your content, well, then you have the opportunity for them to potentially see you in those

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,390
comments.

29
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:32,220
Eventually click your profile and click your little comment and say, oh, wow, this person has, you

30
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:34,260
know, X amount of subscribers, who is this?

31
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,630
And then they click your channel or they click on you.

32
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:40,440
They come over to your channel and they see that, hey, this person makes related content.

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,330
This person makes a lot of similar content.

34
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:44,160
Let me check a video out now.

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,550
It's basically it's going to get you an audition.

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,390
It's not that's that's the way I like to put it.

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,070
It's going to get you an audition.

38
00:01:50,190 --> 00:01:53,220
It's not going to get you it's not going to you know, it's going to get you into the dance.

39
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:53,390
Right.

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,530
It's not going to make sure that the girl is going to dance with you.

41
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:56,420
And that makes sense.

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,830
So what it's going to do is it might bring traffic to your channel, might bring traffic to your videos,

43
00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:06,090
but then you have to do with your videos and do with the main channel homepage.

44
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:09,020
You have to capture them right away so that they're willing to suck.

45
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:09,280
Right.

46
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:12,660
So it's like I like to say it just it's just an audition.

47
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:17,790
It's not an actual foregone conclusion that it's going to bring you new subs, but it will bring potential

48
00:02:17,790 --> 00:02:21,820
traffic that's targeted and related to your nation, content to your channel.

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,080
Right.

50
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,730
So how do you actually implement it then?

51
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:30,060
Well, what do you do essentially is you're going to get the sub and the bell notification for literally

52
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:35,100
I would say I would recommend do don't get overwhelmed with it and don't get crazy with it when you're

53
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:39,900
starting out, but maybe like 50 to 100 channels, maybe if you really have time and you're really serious

54
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,460
about growing them like 200 channels.

55
00:02:41,460 --> 00:02:41,730
Right.

56
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:45,090
And the key here is you're not trying to do it on just any channel.

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,890
You want to find related channels to your niche and your topic.

58
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:53,190
So for me specifically, I have a lot of I pull some of these up for you specifically.

59
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:55,530
Let's go to my channel right here.

60
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:01,900
And we'll go to I want to go to YouTube dotcom.

61
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:08,850
And we'll go to the subscriptions that I have, right, so you'll see all the subscriptions that I have,

62
00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:11,940
a vast majority of them are related to my niche, right.

63
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:16,980
Alex Bekker, bigger channel makes marketing and, you know, like entrepreneurship content rake in

64
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:19,170
profit does a lot of the same with Jonathan Jones.

65
00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:24,000
He's a little bit he's a little bit newer, but reconned profit basically makes, you know, online

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,590
arbitrage and reselling videos.

67
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:26,640
Same with these guys.

68
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,690
Drop shipping videos.

69
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:32,640
Alabama pictures is like online arbitrage and retail arbitrage.

70
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:36,420
Willcock makes like a bunch of marketing videos as well.

71
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:41,220
Let's see Andy Suleyman's private label, also Amazon.

72
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:42,780
And obviously I do online recycling.

73
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:47,370
So I go down this list and show you a number of other people in another number of other channels that

74
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:48,810
are all related to my content.

75
00:03:48,810 --> 00:03:51,300
And if I'm subscribed, then I have the bell clicked on all those.

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,420
I'm going to constantly get notifications as soon as they upload.

77
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:54,700
Right.

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,180
So then as soon as they upload, what I want to do is I want to go there, comment immediately on their

79
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:00,660
video.

80
00:04:00,870 --> 00:04:04,230
But it has to be something thoughtful and it has to be related to their video.

81
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:07,910
So I would recommend going there immediately because you had the bell turned on, right.

82
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:11,940
Watching about, you know, maybe maybe skipping ahead to like three or four minutes into the video.

83
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:16,350
So you're not just commenting on something that's like right in the beginning and then, you know,

84
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:20,040
commenting something thoughtful, watching it for like a minute or two and coming up with something

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,690
relevant, something thoughtful, something related to the video that's going to draw people's attention

86
00:04:24,690 --> 00:04:29,220
and potentially get you upvoted in the comments section, hence giving you more potential eyes, but

87
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:32,510
also so it doesn't look like you're just spamming, you know, a certain comment.

88
00:04:33,150 --> 00:04:38,520
I literally hate when people come to my video and it's so obvious that they're just trying to comment

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,210
on my stuff.

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,770
And they didn't watch the video.

91
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:44,190
It's like it's it's the comments that are like great stuff, dude.

92
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,490
And like, wow, valuable insight like stuff like that.

93
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:49,590
Or, you know, another another home run.

94
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:54,360
Bryan, like did did you actually watch the video at all or just commenting, trying to get seen.

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,600
Right.

96
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:56,310
So you don't want to abuse it.

97
00:04:56,310 --> 00:05:01,140
Because what you can do is if you keep commenting and going in those, what could happen potentially

98
00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:04,740
is they might just drop you in the spam folder and then you're wasting your time because you're not

99
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:06,180
even aware that you're in the spam folder.

100
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:08,160
So go there immediately.

101
00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:13,710
Skip ahead a little bit, watch a little bit of the video and then comment something thoughtful and

102
00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:14,250
related.

103
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:18,900
So the content creator is appreciative of your comment and they know that you're not just not spamming

104
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:19,440
in their right.

105
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,130
You don't want to bring it to their attention and comment, something that's completely irrelevant.

106
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:25,440
It's going to it's going to completely turn them off.

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:25,710
Right.

108
00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:27,450
And plus, the audience isn't going to notice you.

109
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:29,370
So that's what I recommend that you do.

110
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:33,150
Now, you can also use these little stars to stand in the out in the comments.

111
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,500
And what that's going to do is it's basically going to boil in your text, which ninety nine point nine

112
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,730
percent of comments are not bold, but you can vote in your text by using a star in the beginning and

113
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:43,110
a star at the end of your text.

114
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:43,440
Right.

115
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,530
I'm gonna show you how to do that in a second, but don't abuse it.

116
00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:48,480
You don't always want to do that.

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,730
You only want to do that in certain situations.

118
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:54,870
You don't want to be always the guy trying to build your stuff out, because then it's just it's not

119
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:55,440
going to be the same.

120
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:55,710
Right.

121
00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:57,930
So let's try this, for example.

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,970
So we're on I don't know why this is just Jessamy, but if I wanted to ball to my like this is a normal

123
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:03,360
comment.

124
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:06,810
This is this is my comment.

125
00:06:07,650 --> 00:06:08,520
Boom, right.

126
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:09,330
This is my comment.

127
00:06:09,330 --> 00:06:10,380
Just normal comment.

128
00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:11,820
Everybody else is in normal comments.

129
00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:12,090
Right.

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,460
This now, if we do this star, this is a bold comment.

131
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:18,120
Right.

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,040
And then a star at the end, boom.

133
00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:22,830
Now it's going to be a bold comment, right?

134
00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:23,910
Boom.

135
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,840
Very, very easy.

136
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,750
It's a lot easier to see on mobile, but it's just helps you to stand out.

137
00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:30,860
Now, there are other comment tricks that you can look up that will help you out.

138
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:35,190
I only personally use the bold one, but that's something you can play around with and get you some

139
00:06:35,190 --> 00:06:37,020
more attention on some videos.

140
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:38,640
Like I said, don't always use it.

141
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:40,140
You don't always want to be that person.

142
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,990
Now, you do want to do this on a balance.

143
00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:45,030
So you want to do it on bigger channels for sure.

144
00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:48,990
And you also want to do it on smaller channels that are a little bit more niche and a little bit, you

145
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:50,790
know, they have less views and less traffic.

146
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,260
So by doing it on the smaller channels, those smaller channels are going to appreciate your commenting

147
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:55,680
as well.

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,490
And they potentially might come back and start commenting on your videos as well, thus increasing your

149
00:06:59,490 --> 00:07:06,330
engagement to also smaller channels have targeted audiences so you can basically leapfrog and capture

150
00:07:06,330 --> 00:07:10,920
their audiences, because anybody that's going to come down and comment and their videos are also,

151
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,190
I would say, 90 percent of people that watch YouTube videos don't comment.

152
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,710
So you're getting very highly engaged people in that niche to see you in the comments constantly as

153
00:07:19,710 --> 00:07:20,010
well.

154
00:07:20,130 --> 00:07:24,900
And you're basically piggybacking off their traffic and the people that watch their video and bringing

155
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:30,180
that that traffic and potential getting you an audition, like I like to say, that doesn't necessarily

156
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:33,120
mean they're going to subscribe to you because they might not like your content or they might not like

157
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,020
who you are as a creator.

158
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:35,010
That's all right.

159
00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:37,050
You can't please everybody be yourself.

160
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:38,220
Some people will like you.

161
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,570
Some people won't write.

162
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,890
But it's basically going to get you an audition with a lot of targeted people that that content creator

163
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:46,830
has worked to build up the audience with, even if it's not very big.

164
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:51,000
Now, you want to do it like midsize channels as well, and then big size channels as well.

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,200
So the bigger the channel, the faster you do have to be because a lot of people will be competing with

166
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,670
you in the comments sections.

167
00:07:56,670 --> 00:08:01,980
Ideally, if you could rank on a bigger channel and get your comment seen, that would be a great example

168
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:02,880
of bringing.

169
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:08,750
Targeted traffic and very, very and a lot of traffic actually to your channel, right, but you have

170
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:14,060
a lot better chance of coming in and something with a bell on a channel that's a lot like more mid tier

171
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:16,640
and smaller and seeing and getting consistent eyes.

172
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,190
Same overall message as like the YouTube search.

173
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:19,490
Right.

174
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,810
And using like Neach Down and very, very targeted keyword phrases.

175
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:25,480
Same thing with the smaller channels.

176
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,910
It's going to bring you consistent growth and consistent size.

177
00:08:29,030 --> 00:08:32,600
Whereas if you want to try it every once in a while with the bigger channels, by all means, go ahead

178
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,120
and do that.

179
00:08:33,230 --> 00:08:36,710
You just got to be really fast because other people are doing it too.

180
00:08:36,830 --> 00:08:38,450
So I challenge you to try this.

181
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:42,200
This can help you grow when you're when you're just kind of starting out and gaining some traction.

182
00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:45,680
It's going to bring you other engagement from other channel creators that you're basically doing it

183
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:45,940
with.

184
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,410
It's going to bring you other potential eyes from their videos.

185
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,730
And it's also going to help you rank higher in search results because you're increasing your engagement,

186
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:58,250
thus bringing other organic traffic, you know, to your videos, also giving you social proof because

187
00:08:58,250 --> 00:09:03,260
nobody wants to be just like the one lone comment on like a fifty viewed video most of the time.

188
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:06,830
So if they see a couple of other people commented, then they're going to be more inclined to comment

189
00:09:06,830 --> 00:09:07,750
on your video as well.

190
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,810
So use this.

191
00:09:08,810 --> 00:09:10,760
It works and it works for a reason.

192
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:12,130
Use it to your advantage.
