Today, we're gonna talk about engaging with an audience. Engaging with an audience, that's talking to your commenters, that's responding on your different social media accounts. Maybe you posted it on Twitter, shared it in a Facebook group, Reddit wherever you're sticking your content you should be engaging with the people that take the time to leave a comment.

In the very beginning, it's important to respond to all of them and all of them quickly. Don't wait three weeks a month to tell somebody, hey thanks for watching. Those are the simple ones, right? The people that are saying nice things, hey you're doing great, keep it up. Wow that's amazing thanks. It's real easy way. Thanks so much. Thanks for watching. And that's the minimum you should be doing, telling anybody that takes the time to comment on your video, no matter where it's at. If you took the time to post it somewhere and someone watched it and they took any time out of their day to watch and comment you should be responding.

So when do you start looking for an intro? Does it make you more professional? When does it hurt your videos? First off, there's nothing wrong with having one, right? It's a little extra branding. It's a little extra recognition for people. Maybe you just wanna show your logo. Maybe it's got a little tagline, but it should always, always, always be short.

We're not half-hour shows most of the time. Some of you might be, but most of us aren't producing network television or movies with long lists of credits and different legal obligations that we have to fulfill. It's literally a spot just to go, "Hey, look, it's my video." "Isn't my logo cool?" "You know it's coming from me now. "Let's get into the content."

Breaks up the little generic intro where I tease you what I'm gonna talk about, and the actual meat of the content, and a rule that I like to abide by is never, ever, ever let that intro be longer than 10 seconds.

You ever go to watch a video? It's a five-minute video, and the intro is two minutes, and it's the freaking Marvel Cinematic Universe movie opening. It's flipping, and all the different colors and things, and it's really cool the first time you see that. Well, if I'm watching video after video of yours, and every video's got a two-minute-long intro that I guess I could sit there, and scroll over, and try to skip it, and hurry through, but now you're annoying me. I don't need that long of an intro. I already know what your video is because I went from your channel to your channel to your channel. Make sure that you're keeping that in mind for the viewers. Keep it short, keep it simple, get it on, get it off the screen so the viewers can get to the content.
