Hey Alexander, thanks for your comment! I agree with you, engaging with your viewers can help a lot. Why should they care about you if you don’t care about them?

Hey Cheska, thank you so much for dropping by. 🙂 I think the best way in such a case is to branch out slowly and combine topics with each other. For example you could add content about LGBTQ people of color, immigrants, etc. and then go into the topics of race, immigration, diversity by themselves. The idea is to not be too abrupt because otherwise your viewers might think, your channel topic has changed completely. Also make sure to keep your original audience engaged. So if your original topic is mostly LGBT, then make sure you’ll have topics that are clearly LGBT-related in the future.

You know that I’m working on an lgbt series, it’s complicated. One thing that I’m thinking of… is my channel is really about diversity and diverse stories. But not all of them are going to be about lgbt. They’ll be about immigrants… race… all that stuff. Diverse identities. But I know my subscribers are following me for the lgbt series.

Any tips on how you would expand and introduce new stories and formats without alienating your old audience?
