What is your favorite moment or video on the channel?

You can usually determine the answer to this question, with the number of views per video. While the majority of people will have the same answer, others will give you better insights on what you can create more of, and what they found entertaining. 

Getting answers for what works best will help you create a strategy you can leverage to boost the number of interactions per video supporting other content you create and driving more traffic to your channel.

Some of the favorite moments people had from your content may even be things you never thought of, or have tried a couple of times and gave up on, while some other moments might be you in your purest form.

Who’s your favorite niche-specific creator? 

Finding out who your audience admires and looks up to is another way to improve in what you provide. While as creators, we all want to be unique do not reinvent the wheel. 

If another person’s work is set to be the highest industry standard, perhaps there is a thing or two you can learn from them and add to your own videos and content. 

Whether it be the deliverance of the content or the way it is filmed, there is always something you can learn from someone doing better than you.

Since this is a Q and A list of some of the best questions, it is only right for it to be a two-sided interaction. Ask viewers what questions and concerns any viewer may have to help them get to know you better, and even generate more content ideas to base your answers around. 

Although all of these previous questions are based around getting to know your audience more, to better targeting and content-creating strategies. This question is more about you and what viewers and fans would like to know about your show, life, or personal detail.

Expect questions like What got you into Youtube? How did you build your channel? Are You playing a character or is that the real you?
