Content marketing is where you provide value to an audience (in this case, through video), and you don’t directly promote a product or service. I like to think of it as “soft marketing” since you are providing value first, as compared to hard marketing, which is where you directly promote a product or service. To “provide value,” you could educate ...
Personally, I’m a big believer in hype. With cover reveals, that means a big splashy cover reveal video where you give your YouTube audience hints and teasers for weeks or months in videos. You could also repurpose these hints and teasers in your newsletter and on other social media platforms leading up to the big reveal on YouTube. Before I had th...
In the name of transparency, book trailers are not my favorite form of marketing on YouTube. I think book trailers can be epic. (Again,Jenna Moreci’s videois a fantastic example of how you can make an amazing book trailer.) However, I feel that it’s very easy to make a book trailer that looks… cheesy. Therefore, I recommend considering what your vi...
To do this kind of video, authors must first either hire an artist to create character art for their novel or they must draw it themselves (if they have the artistic capabilities). Like book trailers, many authors debate as to whether or not the financial investment for character art is worth it. Again, consider whether this is an investment you ca...
If you create an audiobook on your own or if you hire an audiobook narrator to produce the audiobook for you, then why not promote the heck out of it? I recommend recording an intro and outro to introduce the video before jumping into the audiobook clip. In addition, the video doesn’t have to be anything fancy. You could have a single image in the ...
YouTube giveaways can serve several purposes for an author. They can generate buzz, collect pre-order sales, capture leads, and increase audience engagement. The biggest downside to giveaways is that there are legal restrictions. We won’t get into those today, but feel free to do some digging on your own. Here is one article I liked, titled Ensure ...
Writing update videos allow an author to share: 1. Their writing process 2. Their current progress on a novel 3. An insider look into certain parts of the publishing process (particularly if you are self-publishing) 4. And much more! The purpose of these types of videos is to share a look into your process and have viewers get excited with you. If ...
Once you start creating an audience around your books or building your author platform, viewers will (hopefully) be asking questions about you, your writing process, and your books. In this case, one great video idea would be a Q&A, which is often in the form of a live stream on YouTube. This way, you get to answer viewers’ questions live and inter...
Sometimes, getting outside exposure is really helpful to build your author platform. When you do a collaboration on YouTube (and there are many different kinds), you are essentially borrowing another creator’s audience. Therefore, it would benefit you to find other creators who share a similar audience. If you write adult romance, for example, you ...

Once you're familiar with all the common writing advice I don't find her channel that useful anymore. There isn't a lot of unique advice or in depth analysis. I've not read her book, but it seems to be a common opinion that her writing advice is better than her writing.
