Creating Your Own Promo Videos for Your Channel

Finding tools that will help you with your marketing as a writer can sometimes be quite daunting. But there are some tools out there that can help you create fun and informative videos to share on your website and social media platforms. Videos more than just plain photos seem to attract more people. However, a mixture of videos and graphics with you, your books, showcasing your hobbies and your pets can really grab peoples attention. Ultimately, we hope that this will also attract readers who are willing to purchase our books and perhaps write a review, share the book with friends, and ask for it at their local libraries and bookstores. 

Besides the social media apps themselves some other tools have been created to help you have a little bit of fun while you are creating these create pieces of content to share with your readers and future readers too. I like Canva.com and Capcut app Both can be used on your smartphone or even downloaded to your laptop or desktop to use as well. Of course, the really cool tools within each of these are within the PRO versions but they both have some nice beginners FREE stuff to get you started.

There is a newer tool by Adobe called Adobe Express you can also use for FREE. This one is a new tool that I haven't used but for a few things. It is a little bit harder to move around and they will keep popping up with the paid version but if you like Adobe products it might be worth your while to give it go.
