Actionable Strategies for Making Your First Q&A Video for YouTube

Q&A videos involve more than simply answering questions from the viewers. You need to plan it tactically. Having discussed with a couple of YouTubers around us, we’ve rounded up some actionable strategies for your first Q&A video on YouTube.

Plan your first Q&A video strategically.

1. Create a buzz for your first Q&A video

You can create a 1-2 min video on YouTube, telling your followers and viewers that “ Hi, guys. To mark the 10k subscription on my YouTube channel, I will make a Q&A video for you. So, please leave comments on what you want to know most about me, thanks.”.

In this way, you can source valuable Q&A questions for your first Q&A video and make a list of questions accordingly or make screenshots of questions to be displayed later.

2. Select Q&A questions strategically

Apart from frequently asked questions, select interesting questions that are in line with the content and brand image of your channel, such as “what makes you do makeup video tutorials on YouTube?”, “Do you run a business offline?”. Avoid questions that are potentially controversial or too personal.

3. Be sincere, humorous, and punchy

Dress properly and speak in a casual and friendly tone, preferably with an infectious smile and a sense of humor. Be sincere and straightforward when answering a question.

4. Add a personal flair to your Q&A video

Apart from directly addressing the viewer’s questions, you may offer two answers and play a true or false game for better interaction, or later add animated texts, elements, or funny GIFs and sound effects to spice up your Q&A video. Just think creatively about your styles.

5. Camera angle, lighting, and audio when recording a Q&A video

If you use an external webcam to record the Q&A video, do place the camera slightly above your forehead to get the best position for recording.

Use consistent ring light for lighting and preferably use an external mic like the built-in mic on your iPhone’s headphones to record quality audio. Avoid overhead and split lighting or light from below if you don’t want to look like a Frankenstein. LOL.

6. Add chapters to your Q&A video on YouTube

As you add descriptions to your Q&A video, you can divide each question into a clickable chapter or timestamp, so viewers can easily navigate to the question that interests them.

Just copy and customize the following YouTube video chapter format in your video description. YouTube will automatically generate a question and answer timestamp for you.

0:00 Intro

0:23 Where are you from?

0:44 Who are your favorite chefs?

0:51 What are your bucket lists?
