YouTube is introducing new ways to connect creators with their audiences, and the latest feature is community space. A space beyond the regular posting of videos, where you meet and connect with your people more efficiently. 

What are community spaces? 

Think of it as a room full of fans. These rooms allow creators to upload posts, ask questions, or simply update about daily life with their audiences. One thing that makes it completely different is that it does not restrict communication to comments only, and it strengthens the relation between fans and creators. 

How do they work? 

Community spaces are fun yet easy to flow. Creators can post much like they do on different social media apps such as Instagram, and fans get to reply or ask anything. This helps in two ways; it connects fans to the creator, and fans to fans as well. When people with similar interests gather in a community together, they get to share and experience the work. 

Benefits for creators 

A community space binds a creator to its fans, here’s how; 

1. The creator gets to know its audience better. He can ask for ideas from the audience for the type of videos they would like to watch more. 
2. Whether they upload videos regularly or not, they can keep their viewers hooked so that engagement does not break.  
3. Fans feel important, get updates, and stay in the loop. This way they never stop engaging with the creator. 

Tips to build an active community 

Here are three tips that can keep your community alive;

1. Post Regularly, even if it is just a simple text or image. This gives your audience a reason to interact with you.
2. Engage in the comments section of your posts, it helps with more viewership and keeps the community active. 
3. Upload bloopers or uncut versions of the videos, fans love to see more. 

Final thoughts 

Using YouTube has never been this easy and fun up until now. The community space is more than just a feature; it’s a means of relationship building that keeps fans connected and helps creators gain loyal fans rather than just regular viewers.
