I used to be really into blogging and ran a couple different blogs. These days I'm more involved in video and Youtube but have been meaning to get back into blogging.

I think this is a great tip, one of the biggest things I credit my early Youtube success to was communicating with my audience, being very receptive to any and all comments. I used to make a point to clear my comments everyday and respond to every single one. Over the years as the channel has grown, its not really possible to do with 80k subs like it is with 5k subs, but it's still something I try to put a focus on.

People aren't just supporting your content and your channel, iin a way they are supporting you as well so developing a relationship with them and showing them you value their time which is everyone's most important resource goes a long way
