One of the best things I did for MoeGamer was take some time to hang out with other WordPress bloggers, read their stuff and leave some comments. I've made some good friends in this way and had a lot of fun… and I'm sure it's helped MoeGamer, too.
I'm pretty sure I need to start doing the same on YouTube if I want to grow by more than a trickle. Trouble is, making some time to engage with the YouTube community is even more time-consuming than making sure to read people's blogs — I read pretty quick, whereas a video's a video — so I often find myself struggling to get started, or, more commonly, going back to old favourites who are, at this point, much too big to pay any attention to any comments I might leave.
There are exceptions of course; I know one such example is reading this right now, and I'm grateful for your support! I think probably the best approach is to set aside a specific bit of time each day, watch maybe one or two videos and make a point of leaving a comment on them. If I can get into the habit of doing that — as I have done with the WordPress Reader — then that will probably be a good thing!
Well, maybe. Worth a try, anyway, and it'd be nice to "meet" some new people in the midst of all the worldly chaos right now, too!
If you have any fun, decent, small-scale YouTube channels you think I should make an effort to reach out to — people who enjoy conversations in their comments — then do please feel free to let me know. They can be retro or modern; the majority of my channel is retro right now, but I have some plans in motion for a little more modern stuff that I'm going to start experimenting with this very weekend!
