After you post, write a comment on your own video that adds extra value or a strong call to action, and then "pin" it so it remains at the top of the comments section. This is a great place to ask a question to spark conversation (e.g., "What was your favorite part of the video? Let me know!"), provide a link that you couldn't put in the description, or add a piece of context that you forgot to include in the video itself. This is free, valuable real estate for driving engagement.
