What community posts are for
Community posts let you talk to subscribers between uploads: announce the next video, run a poll on what to make next, share a behind-the-scenes photo, or post a quiz. They appear in subscribers' home feeds and on your channel's Posts tab. A post with a healthy like count looks like an active community; one with 2 likes looks like nobody's listening.
Why likes matter here
YouTube shows community posts in subscribers' feeds partly based on engagement. Posts that get early likes and poll votes tend to be shown to more of your subscribers. Likes also tell new visitors to your Posts tab that your audience is engaged between videos.
Prices
On the default option, 50 community post likes cost the live price, 100 cost the live price and 500 cost the live price. See the table for details, updated 25 Oct 2026.
Getting the post link
Open your channel's Posts tab, click the three dots or the time label on a post, and copy its link. It looks like youtube.com/post/… . Paste that link, not your channel link.
How many likes look right
Community posts usually get likes from a small share of subscribers, often 1–5%. A channel with 10,000 subscribers looks natural at 100–500 likes on a post. Polls usually get more votes than likes; if you order likes on a poll, keep them below the vote count.
Posts that get real engagement
Polls with two or three clear options (“Next video: Goa on ₹10k or Manali on ₹10k?”). Images from upcoming videos. Short questions viewers can answer in a word. Thank-you posts at milestones with a real photo. Post community updates two or three times a week, especially between uploads.
Placing the order
The post must be public on a channel that has community posts enabled. Paste the post link, choose a quantity between a small and a large, and pay. The order page shows progress.
Paying and tracking
Top up by UPI from ₹100. If a post is deleted during delivery or an order ends short, the undelivered likes are refunded to your wallet automatically.
Example: a fitness channel's poll
A Gurugram fitness creator with 22,000 subscribers posts a poll: “Next video: 20-minute home workout or full gym beginner plan?” She orders 300 likes on the post in the first hour. The post looks active in subscribers' feeds, real votes pour in, and the winning option becomes her best-performing video that month.
Community posts between uploads
Many Indian creators upload once a week but forget the channel in between. Community posts keep subscribers' attention: a Tuesday poll, a Thursday thumbnail preview, a Saturday reminder of the upload time. Each post that gets likes and votes helps YouTube keep your channel in subscribers' feeds, which makes your next upload more likely to be seen. Paid likes on the first few posts help the habit look established while real engagement builds.
Image posts and quizzes
Image posts with a strong photo, such as a dish, a destination or a new product, get more likes than plain text. Quizzes work well for education channels: a single question with four options, then the answer in your next video. Keep text short; community posts are skimmed on phones.
