fans, or address the audience directly.
Dedicate time to interact with your audience and develop relationships with top

Identify channels with similar content and/or similar audiences, and work with them
to cross-promote or collaborate.
Set up a Google+ profile page to engage with fans and other YouTube creators.
Engage your fans directly in Google Hangouts and broadcast live via Hangouts
on Air.
Create and maintain a blog roll for your channel. Include niche sites or targeted sites
for tent-pole related content.
Track engagement on social media sites, and measure the incoming traffic from
those communities to your YouTube content.
