I *love* talking about behind the scenes stuff, so I hope you'll enjoy hearing about starting an AuthorTube channel! I was very nervous to start my channel over a year and a half ago in May 2020. But I am so glad I did. This has been a different sort of creative outlet for me and I've loved being more involved with the writing community here on YouTube.
But creating videos for AuthorTube (or YouTube in general) is not for everyone. And I think there can also be misconceptions about how things work. I'm covering a ton of information in this video that I hope will be helpful if you are on the fence about whether or not to create a channel in the new year.
Have you considered starting an AuthorTube channel? What's your main reason why? Are you already on AuthorTube and have some helpful hints or suggestions for everyone? Leave a comment and let us know!
!! SEND ME YOUR WRITING SPACE PHOTOS !!
Any photos submitted here may appear in an upcoming YouTube video. I'll share as many as I can, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to use all of them! You may remain anonymous, but if you want to be named in the video, please fill in the second box with your information.
Deadline is December 30th.
