Your favourite ASMRtist has been comforting you to sleep every single night, giving you the rest and relaxation you so desperately need and deserve, but how do you repay this tingle angel for their hard work and dedication to ASMR?
Here's 7 ways you can support ASMRtists...
1. Watch Their Video from Start to Finish: Audience Retention is Important
YouTube states:
“Your goal is to keep audience retention as close to 100% as you can (because this means viewers are watching all the way through your videos).
And videos with consistently high audience retention and watch time have the potential to show up more frequently in Search and Suggested locations on YouTube.”
Let’s be honest, it isn’t hard to keep an ASMR video playing from start to finish – you’ll probably fall asleep and let it play anyway. Do not underestimate how important this is to the content creator. They will be eternally grateful.
2. Subscribe and Like
Building an audience is important for a content creator and seeing the subscriber count go up indicates their content is engaging.
Seeing lots of likes on their video motivates the creator to keep making content and also increases their chance of a higher search ranking on YouTube.
The more ‘likes’ they have on their video indicates their audience wants more of this tingly content and the likelihood is, the creator will make more videos similar to this, which benefits you as you get more of your favourite triggers!
3. Disable your Ad Blocker and Watch the Adverts
But remember, YouTube’s algorithm will get suspicious if you keep clicking on the ads, so only click on the advert if you’re interested and don’t repeatedly click on the advert over and over again.
All you need to do is let the advert play, from start to finish. This counts.
4. Share Their Video
You’ve finally found the perfect whisperer and you're totally obsessed with falling asleep to them every single night and you find yourself saying 'whoa, this channel is totally underrated'...
Share the tingle love on your social media! The ASMRtist will appreciate the extra exposure.
5. Leave a Comment
Help the ASMRtist build a community around their channel by leaving a comment – they will be happy to read it!
Engagement matters.
The more comments on the video indicates to YouTube that this is engaging content, increasing the chances of this video being recommended.
You can also help the ASMRtist to grow by leaving CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.
6. Subscribe to YouTube Premium
How YouTube Premium supports creators:
‘Creators are the heart and soul of YouTube. To ensure that they're compensated for their work, we share ad revenue with them when you watch ads on YouTube.
If you're a YouTube Premium member, you won't see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators.
Best of all, the more videos you watch from your favourite creators, the more money they make’.
7. Follow Their Social Media Accounts
Give your fave ASMRtist exposure from all angles.
Follow their Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook etc.
This is great for you too because you will receive exclusive updates that you may miss if you’re just following their YouTube channel.
So, what are you waiting for? Go and support your favourite tingle giver, go, go, go!
