Asking your audience a question can elicit a lot of good feedback and interaction in the comments, but you can also poll your viewers and have them interact with your actual video. Here’s how to use annotations to boost engagement and interaction on your video, as well as get more views and subscribers on your YouTube videos.
As a side note, never make viewers feel like you’re tricking them into subscribing. Tell them they can vote and subscribe if they want to see the answer in the upcoming video. That way they know what to expect when they click.
