The noise tip - I’m just laughing thinking about the pure chaos of my dog in my videos 😂 But in all seriousness, your advice is so good and I’m going to implement some of these tips!
Thank you so much for this! ❤ I just started, and feel like I’m really struggling. I want to reach people, but it’s been difficult. Thanks for these tips! 🥰
You are so welcome! It is really difficult to grow on this platform, especially if you aren't maintaining multiple other platforms, like TikTok and IG as well or if you don't have a certain aesthetic or do certain things. Just be true to yourself and what you want to film and it will start happening, slowly but surely.
All great tips!! I love Canva, but you totally taught me something new! I was using a much harder way to get myself to pop out from the screen. Lol 😅 I’m so glad I know where that background remove feature is now!! Thank you, Brittany.
You are so welcome! I hoped they helped and I am willing to answer any questions. There are still things I struggle with but I am so glad I decided to start one. It's a challenge but the community is worth it.
This is a great video with great suggestions! I finally pulled the trigger the beginning of this year and started my channel with the encouragement of some great booktube friends. I love that the book community is so supportive and not competitive at all. There is always room for more booktube creators. Everyone brings something different and fun. I love Canva and have taught myself so much. My very first thumbnail was soooo bad 😂😂I've come along way, but still learning. 🎥
Oh gosh I’ve always wanted to start a booktube channel but don’t know that it was an actual thing like 3 years ago I set up my channel buuuut never posted a single video because I have a little fear that I sound wired. I really want too for fun I may just grab my phone and do it 😂😊😅😮 also I’m into some odd books lol
You certainly can, but that could potentially get time consuming. I typically only do that if I didn't like the way it came out the first time and I feel I could significantly improve upon it.
I am a pro at Canva at this point. It's the lighting for me when it comes to filming. I am still working on getting it to be consistent and high quality. That's a goal for this year
@@RescuesandReads oh lighting took me a while too. For me, it's finding the right balance of everything. Brightness of the sun at the time, brightness of the location. Then in final cut pro I created a color balance pre set that I can drag and drop on my video clip and tweak any of the preset numbers I've already assigned. Mind you this took me a bit to get right 😆
What i realized after starting my very own booktube channel is that if I’m having fun - it’s worth it.
Yes! Absolutely
Me too! This is a life long passion of mine, so I'm having so much fun! ☺
You’re right on with the jump cuts. It makes a huge difference.
It does!
I feel called out lol. I’ve been saying I’m going to start a booktube channel for like 5 years now 🙃
Consider yourself called out! I am more than willing to help with any questions! I can even create a channel for this in the Discord. 😉

Lol! I do know that it is not always possible to have a quiet space. I just think it's impressive you can actually film with all that going on
@@RescuesandReads she is why I started filming in my room. I can at least put up a barrier with that closed door. I love her, but she’s chaos.

Thank you so much!! I am glad that I was able to help in some way!
Love this!! Just posted my first booktube video this week! So excited!
Congratulations!!
Thank you for this helpful video! Didn’t know you could create a default description box - that will save me a lot of time!
It truly has been a lifesaver!
I have published a few videos on my channel already but I still learned a lot from this video! Awesome video!
Thank you very much!
I started a channel at the end of 2023. My channel name is Angie . Romance books.
Thank you! This is so helpful! ☺
You are welcome!!
I’ve been thinking of starting a channel for a long time. I know I need to just do it! 😬 Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And con gradulations on starting your channel!
@@RescuesandReads Thanks! It's been fun getting it up and going.
I’m a newer authortuber and found these really helpful! I agree with everything and really appreciate the pep talk.
Thank you so much!
I’m definitely an offender of the yellowy lighting! I’m learning as I go. 😀
Lighting is still the hardest thing for me
🎥 This video is amazing! I would have loved to have all this in one place when I started out!
Thank you so much! That is so kind!

There is room for every type of reader on here!
8:04 do you think it would be good to repeat yourself often in the raw footage so you have several takes of the points you want to drive home?
You certainly can, but that could potentially get time consuming. I typically only do that if I didn't like the way it came out the first time and I feel I could significantly improve upon it.
@ gotcha! Thanks for the tips 🫶🏻🥰 appreciate you!

Thank you for watching!
Although I'm decently skilled with video and audio editing; leatning canva is still a challenge for me.
