Did you know that YouTubers who are also members of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) have the ability to post polls to the Community tab on their channel?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the Community tab and the poll post are exclusive to monetized creators. So, if you\u2019re a part of that select group, you definitely want to make the most of it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Polls may not seem like much to get excited about. But in reality, they are a useful tool in your YouTube creator toolkit. When deployed correctly, they can help you <\/span>increase views<\/span> for your content, which will help you grow your channel.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll explain how a simple poll can help you get more views on YouTube<\/a>. Plus, we\u2019ll teach you how to make a poll for your YouTube channel, as well as for your live streams.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do Polls Help You Get More Views on YouTube?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A poll is quite simple and straightforward. You ask your audience a question and give them a select number of options to choose from. Whichever option gets the most selections is the most popular answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite or perhaps because of its simplicity, polls are popular, no matter what online platform they appear on. People love any chance to express their opinion, and a poll allows them to do that without any negative consequences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way that polls can increase views is they can get users to click on your channel. After they answer the poll, they may decide to take a look around at your content, an action which could lead them to watch a video or start one of your playlists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polls can also generate excitement and anticipation for your upcoming content, thus putting more eyeballs on it when it finally drops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you can use a poll to ask your viewers what they want to see in future videos. By answering, your viewers will feel that they participated in your creative process, and they will be excited thinking about how their selection will manifest on their computer or phone screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, you can never go wrong with a poll \u2013 providing you ask the right question.<\/span><\/p>\n

What To Ask in a YouTube Poll<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At this point, you may be wondering: What kind of questions should you ask in a YouTube poll to bring in more views?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, when a YouTube creator posts a poll, the question they ask is related to their channel, their videos, or their content niche. It should never be meaningless and should always have a purpose (although you can also add a touch of humor or wit in it to fit the tone of your channel).<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some poll questions that a creator might ask their audience and get a lot of feedback on.
