I am starting a booktube channel in January, I have a twitter already that's called Raven Rayne books and I do plan to change my youtube name a little in January to Raven Rayne Books as well. Thanks for the video it's confirmed what I needed to do and gave Me some good apps to look up because editing videos is what I have been nervous about....

It can definitely be nerve-wracking, but I think the best I can say is to just do it. The first video will always be awkward, but everyone has one, and the booktube community is probably one of, if not the most, welcoming communities on KZfaq. If you're unsure about your first video, the popular thing to do is to do the BookTube Newbie Tag, but there's also BookTube Newbie Tag 2.0 that's just as good.

Great tips! Half the time I forget to pose for a thumbnail and I have to search for a frame I can screen shot 😂😂 I used to use picmonkey but a few months ago they got rid of their free options from what I could tell. Now I exclusively use Canva, which I used a mix between the two before. Definitely recommend Canva for any sort of image creating, its great!

That's so strange, other people have been saying that PicMonkey isn't free anymore but I still have the free version :/ I might have to switch to Canva though, cuz you and a few other people have mentioned it!!! :D

It IS scary :O I didn't feel that nervous when I made my first video until I pressed upload, and then all of a sudden I got really freaked out and could hardly sleep. Now I don't worry about it at all. The booktube community is so incredibly nice. Really, if you do make a channel (and it's book related) you'll meet almost nothing but kind, goofy book nerds :D

These are really great tips. I can't remember if you touched on it or not, but another thing I'd add is to be somewhat consistent with your uploading. Out of everything, the upload schedule is still the one thing about Booktube that trips me up frequently, and it's something that I'm hoping to improve in 2018. Like, it doesn't have to be every day, obviously, but at the very least once a week and then work your way up from there, if you want to.

I forgot to mention: I do the same thing when I make my thumbnails, but I usually wait until the end, lol. Pic Monkey is great, and for those who don't want to sign up for a free trial (Pic Monkey makes you sign up for one if you want to save your thumbnail designs now), FotoJet is just as good.

Great video! Actually a goal of mine in 2018 is to finally take the plunge and start a channel. So much going on with building our new house, family, and traveling that it will be a few months still. I know if I start now with everything I'm juggling I'll get burnt out. Your video quality is pretty good for using your phone, do you edit with iMovie on your phone or do you use it on your computer?
@ebnovels

I edit iMovie on my phone :) I think it only comes out decent, though, because of the lighting. I open the blinds right by where I film and film when it's light outside. If I filmed in the evening, it would look terrible :D Also, I can't wait for you to start your channel!!!
