How to Booktube!

[@thetrashybookworm4050]

Your bookshelf is my aesthetic holy moly.

[@Katrein]

I just found booktube and OMG my mind is blown. How is it possible I've been on KZbin since ages and never watched videos on books??! Reading is the biggest part of my life! maaaan. this is crazy! Any suggestions on who to subscribe to? (I love fantasy and dislike horror and crime)

[@racheldemain1940]

Me neither, just discovered this half an hour ago!! Bookworm's Paradise!!

[@beautybybelicia]

Kat Jessethereader is one of the best. He’s my go to along with Hailey

[@carsoncrouch7895]

If you love fantasy try Reagan from Peruse Project!! That’s her channel name: Peruse Project

[@myrrhder8964]

I personally love Insane Reader and Paperback Dreams

[@elli4455]

Silke VI I agree

[@Selina919]

I just saw the length of this video and I was just like YAAAASSSSS!!! 😂❤️

[@Selina919]

And it's also really helpful, thank you hails ☺️

[@Selina919]

I also have a question 😁 I want to start a book tube channel but I'm German. I want to keep it 'international' so more people can watch my videos but I think my English isn't good enough that I can sit in front of a camera and say everything I want in English. Do you think it'd be okay if I put English subtitles under my video even if it isn't 100% correct but at least people understand it?

[@HaileyinBookland]

I think as long as you're trying people will appreciate it!

[@Selina919]

+Hails Hearts Nyc thank you so much for replying ☺️ it really helps me

[@jamiejaylene1652]

Do you like harry potter

[@learnliteraturewithl7275]

"choose your name wisely because there's no going back. Like I could change it now but too many people know me by hailshearsnyc so I can't really change it." * 2 years later* ;) ;)

[@angela-intothebookshelf4243]

This video is totally going to be helpful. Improbably going to be rewatching it a few times since i am still fairly new to booktube. It's so nice to see another Canadian!

[@layma5113]

It's so great to see your channel grow and yourself getting more confident with every video. You are always very creative and never disappoint. Thank you for your videos!

[@HaileyinBookland]

you are so sweet thank you!!

[@Elayna876]

I've watched several other videos about how to booktube, but I never fail to learn something when I watch another from another frequent booktuber, and you did give a lot of good advice. Thank you for this. :)

[@LienesLibrary]

omg no joke - I have bought so many books in the last two months, I can't stop! ahhhhhhh!

[@noraguirre7142]

I could not stop looking at your amazing bookshelf !!!

[@ambmae8]

Been thinking about joining the community... I'm amazed at how few booktubers talk about the mechanics. This is so helpful! Thank you.

[@oopsimahumblebookworm2365]

Hey! You! Yes, you. I have swam the sea of comments to reach you. please listen, Reading changed me as a person. It'll change you too. My sister hates reading. And I hate to admitt it, but I hated reading too, Once. People pick up books and expect it to form some sort of 'black hole' and suck you into a magic world. They expect to be welcomed right into the world of books without trying. Those people get disappointed. You have to actually try to read. Put in some effort. Goodbye. thankyou .

[@KrisHackAuthor]

I've been thinking about starting a booktube for months and this video is really helpful, it's given me the boost I need to really get serious!

[@sumsetgirl363]

The booktube community is so huge, you can find people from all over the world that share your same passion, books. Thank you so much for this helpful tips :)

[@dbells224]

I have always been so nervous to join the KZbin community, but your video was so reassuring! I am so excited to finally jump into the Booktube community soon :)

[@GirlAboutLibrary]

Caity D'Bella subscribed and waiting for your first video! :)

[@tomtalksbooks]

I was nervous too and did so many practice videos! Then I thought why am I hiding from doing this? So I just went for it and uploaded my first video! Excited to watch your videos when you upload :D

[@moonchild4241]

Same! I'm really new on here, so I don't know a lot of BookTubers, but the ones I've found I'm really excited to have found them!

[@moonchild4241]

That's so cool! Glad you took that leap of faith, congrats to you!

[@tomtalksbooks]

DeadWelshKingsandOtherthings it's amazing how much I actually enjoy doing it and I'm annoyed at myself for not going for it sooner! Ah well I'm here now and I'm here to stay! :D

[@NINASIMONALISA]

your book shelf is to die for ! very inspiring. im new to researching booktube and this was very very useful. thank you :)

[@suzannecattanes5052]

I am new to watching booktube, I love that there is a community that talks about the love we all get from books...also love the suggestions for new books/dualogy/trilogy I stopped reading solid books for soooo long, I am 42 and always had a deep love of reading, i got caught up in ebooks and stopped buying books, but thanks to you and other book tubers I have renewed my love for the smell and feel of an actual book, so thank you xx

[@cheyennereads2545]

You are absolutely my inspiration for starting my booktube channel. I love you videos and binge watch them all the time.

[@amedicosworld5358]

I can certainly say you've given me confidence me to begin my own booktube channel added to the fact I have already begun my my own channel. Thank you for reminding again that, you are supposed to grow connections with people. Such a positive message. Thank you so so so much maam

[@SA-oq4vw]

I have wanted to start a booktube for so long but I didn't know how. Now that I have seen this video I am so motivated.

[@MmeDogan]

You are right about the importance of a background Your is one on my favorite to be honest, your shelves are so pretty and well organized its so nice to have it as a background 😍📚

[@hannahevans7956]

I've been going back and forth on the idea of making a channel for about 6 months and this video was so helpful! Hearing from someone who has been actively doing this gave me a good push to start working on my own content :)

[@SamanthaSteMarie]

This was so unbelievably helpful! I've been wanting to start a booktube channel and decided to just do it a week or so ago. Thank you for all the tips and really showing that it's such an awesome community that supports one another!!

[@SamanthaSteMarie]

P.S. Girl after my own heart with the whole smart phone on a pile of books propped up on a candle... literally my life right now!!

[@zbanng]

I watched the Little Book Owl 's video about creating a channel, right before I watched this video, and I agree she also made a great video. I love your channel. Thanks so much for all the tips.

[@LilyCReads10]

I have the same camera as you!! it's literally bae. 10/10 would reccomend

[@kookykasiareads2587]

fetus lily comment

[@meghna9479]

This video literally got me thinking about making a booktube channel. I've never felt confident enough. This video helped me a lot! I think I'm definitely gonna give it a try this time. There are so less participation to the booktube community from India, so looking forward to this. Thank You Hailey.

[@pagestoturn8999]

I love your videos! Plus your rainbow bookshelf is seriously like my future life goal. Thanks for this video! Being a booktube newbie is so much better when you can find great advice!

[@MidnightLibraryx]

After watching KZbin videos of books and makeup, recently I got inspired to finally start doing my own. I've always loved books and didn't know there was this huge community built upon it. These types of videos are very helpful to get a channel started. However, I like how you say be yourself and do it because you enjoy it not for subscribers, etc. Since i've started getting back into reading, I feel like it's becoming a passion and something I love. It does make me sad sometimes when I don't see many people taking an interest in the videos I post, but every time I make a video and share it, I'm so happy. It just makes me smile when I open up another book and get to share it with the world even if it is an old book people have already read a bunch of times. Thank you for putting out this video as a booktuber who is a huge inspiration for myself and just in general to get more booktubers to begin a new journey in their life. :) p.s. sorry for the long comment XD

[@thebookishnerd24]

You should not apologize for a long comment, comments are for your thoughts and many things! So, post as long as you want!! 😃❤️

[@MidnightLibraryx]

+Maggie O'Donnell okay thank you

[@moonchild4241]

@BC Books That's really awesome and inspiring! Keep up the good work girl!

[@PageScreenTaylor]

Ohmygosh, this was sooooo helpful! I'm just starting out on Booktube, and the community is so wonderful and I'm looking forward to fully immersing myself in my channel! :D

[@kyrianatravelsreads2313]

I honestly love hearing this behind the scenes stuff. As a viewer, it's something I know next to nothing about, and it feels like a magic curtain being pulled back!

[@stuckonstories]

This video was super helpful Hailey! I really agree on the fact that being part of the community is such an important and fun part! I feel like the booktube community is one of the most friendly communities on the internet and it's just great to be able to connect with so many people over books!

[@abigailhodge6588]

Thank you for the nitty-gritty details and tips! I've been wanting to start a channel for a while but even though I watched "how to" videos like this I never felt confident enough. For some reason though, your video has given the push to start booktube!

[@truluvw8ts73]

Great video! You are definitely doing something right. After finding your channel, I watched all of your videos! Definitely the booktuber I enjoy watching the most.

[@SamanthaLizzio]

So exciting to learn about this community! I work in publishing and have been watching KZbinrs for years. But I didn't realize this was so popular; it's nice to find these videos! Great intro!

[@briannak26]

I've been watching Booktube for a couple years now and am just now working now up the nerve to start filming my own videos!! It's always looked so fun!! Thanks for the tips!

[@regisg9953]

This video was super helpful. I'm new to your channel and you're already becoming one of my favorite youtubers. I love your recommendations and it's really helped me rediscover my love of reading.

[@saki_lao]

Thank you Hailey for this informative video. I watched the one from Little Book Owl too. Both videos have great tips!

[@jetlingreads7290]

Your promotion piece of this video was so helpful! It's the part that I've been struggling with the most!

[@stefert786]

Your bookshelf gave me an eyegasm. ❤

[@bythebook6968]

I ALMOST filmed by first booktube video today. Glad I watched this first! Lots of great tips.

[@sjblack9135]

This was so helpful, thank you! I think it’s part of the booktube charm that we have so many awesome people and booktubers whoa re actively giving out their expertise and knowledge to see the community grow :)

[@hopelessbookaddict9118]

So thank you so much for posting this! I watched the whole thing and I decided to take the leap and try it! I will start my channel at the beginning of the year thanks to you! Love your channel!

[@leonoraseitz4096]

This was super helpful, I have been working to start a booktuber channel so thank you for all these good points!

[@underthebookcover]

These are some super helpful tips! I've been really nervous about finally taking the leap from just a blogger to BookTuber and this was actually very reassuring and handy. I'll definitely be referencing this for when I film and start up my channel!

[@ajwinterbooks]

I totally understand not liking the username thing. I'm a Wattpad writer and I joined their partner program. So I'm forever branded with a username I chose almost five years ago (and has to do with One Direction). So I totally understand. Almost all of my usernames are ajwinterbooks apart from two. So I'm almost consistent!

[@ajwinterbooks]

***** Yay! I love seeing other Wattpaders :D

[@thereasontoremember]

As someone who has been contemplating joining booktube more and more, I cannot express how helpful this video is! Thank you for the great tips, and not just a lot of the generic advice some videos give in regards to starting your own channel.

[@EmelieAsmr]

thank you so much for this video,this was super helpful! I love booktube and I think it's important that you're passionate about what you're talking about in your videos and not un it for the subscribers like you said!

[@fallenAngel5708]

I’m on the research step of starting a book tube, and this has been the most helpful so far! Love all your stuff too, btw. Thank you for being you! And also thank you for this video!

[@JourneyDrops]

I liked how honest you were here. I'm working on mine, and I feel like you can constantly improve or get better.

[@WildCarrie]

Thank you for making this video! I started my channel awhile ago and this video makes me want to be a frequent uploader! Love your videos!

[@tjb6744]

I just saw this and it is SO helpful! I'm about to start my own booktube channel and I have no idea what I'm doing :'D Thank you so much for posting this!

[@ravenclawreader74]

I've recently just started my channel, but this video is so helpful for improving my channel in the future! And I honestly love the background of this video - I wish my bookcase was this organised!

[@jennarandall8650]

It was a great video! Thanks for the advice. And yes, your videos are very informative and fun to watch. You are definitely one of my favorite book tubers. And another bonus is you are a fellow Canadian! There are not many Canadian book tubers out there! So it is nice to listen/watch someone from your own country :)

[@mckaylacherubini4250]

I was in the midst of wondering whether I should start a booktube and I saw this video, so thank you! this was really helpful!

[@autisticenbynerd]

I've just started out in the booktube community after lurking for awhile and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. Thank you so so much. It's super helpful!

[@amberpineau1616]

You totally just hit me on the head with #5 LOL. I have ordered 7 subscription boxes and a 25-book order from Bookoutlet this month LOL

[@aeonie4841]

Hailey 2016: I always film during the day Hailey 2020: So it's 1am...

[@genevieveburk5985]

Hahahaha

[@lilyeverstorms9057]

this was great advice! I've wanted to start a booktube channel but I don't have the guts for it :/ but books are my passion and I love talking about them, and after watching this video I was inspired to at least start somewhere. thank you :)

[@NovelInk]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm still brand new at BookTube, so I appreciate how thorough this video was! I'll definitely be using some of these tips.

[@hanmansalman9754]

Omg! I am so surprised you don't have more subscribers (even though you already have a lot). I have watched a ton of your videos lately and you have definitely become my fav book tuber! Thanks Haley and keep up the good work☺️☺️

[@lukyanoppedisano1130]

This video was so helpful. I was having a lot of trouble with my Booktube channel (Lukyan's Library) lately. So thank you so much Hailey for posting this. I love your videos you are such an inspiration.

[@brirossow9256]

I just discovered booktube and I am in LOVE! I’m thinking about starting my own channel and this helped me so much!

[@Tybabess]

I just started my booktube channel and this video really helped give me the final push I needed to just dive in.. so thank you!!! :)

[@prisonerofbooks7416]

thank you so much!!!! this will help my booktube channel so much! I will be following each and every step!

[@lastnightreadings6081]

Thank you so much for your tips. It really inspired me to start my own booktube/vlogging channel.

[@TheGrimReaderPH]

Thank you for sharing these great tips! I just discovered booktube and I am super excited to get started with my own booktube. The community sounds like a lot of fun people.

[@booksandbowes3110]

SUPER helpful video! Thanks so much! I've been having a lot of lighting/background problems, since my beautiful bookshelves are in the absolute worst part of my apartment for lighting purposes. But I really appreciated all of your tips and will be keeping a lot of them in mind while getting started!

[@katebeyondthelimits4340]

Thank you for the piece of advice! I'm new to booktube and I am so thankful for this video!

[@shilahlacoe8574]

Ever since I started following Christine I wanted to start a BookTube, but never knew how to get started. Well, this really helped. Thanks for putting this out here! Super helpful.

[@kaya5377]

Thank you so much, Hailey!! this was very helpful and gave me the courage to start booktube

[@veronicajourn]

This video was so helpful! I’m thinking of starting a book tube segment on my channel, right now I’m just talking about university and scholarships and stuff. I’m totally subscribing!

[@cynthiar2387]

Love this video! So comprehensive and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and thanks for being so genuinely dedicated to the Booktube community!

[@paradiselostinbooks5076]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I finally took the plunge and made my first video and this video really helped give me the confidence to do it!

[@laurencoles8719]

Such a massive bookworm and I loved this video so much. Talking about books all the time seems so appealing to me but I have tried KZbin in the past and I have commitment issues due to school and the world of GCSEs. Thank you! :)

[@emmakate6905]

Your Alice in Wonderland obsession is adorable! I personally love your channel and personality and found these videos and links super helpful! I've totally been inspired by booktubers and the book tube community as a whole! Also the links to other videos were super helpful, thanks for taking the time to do that!

[@crystalwitchshop]

this is like the best video about how to start booktube ever and i watched many

[@HeatherHS07]

Thank you for this video! I'm new to Booktube, and this video has a ton of great tips!!

[@vidhimohan8998]

Watching this video right before jumping in the Booktube world. So excited!

[@kfranklin926]

Your bookshelf immediately caught my eye. I did a rainbow bookshelf many moons ago and it was my pride and joy at the time. Thank you for posting this video as well. It was beyond informative. I never knew about booktube or this huge online community of people until several weeks ago. I find myself constantly watching book review videos and my amazon wishlist is a mile long now.

[@BooksAndJams]

Great advice. I'm inspired to come up with a tag video as a way to get into the community more. Still a bit of a newbie and having a hard time consistently uploading because of my schedule but hoping to get better! My biggest problem is not enough storage on my phone to record, edit and upload. Haven't learned how to schedule videos yet either. Still lots to learn. Thanks!!

[@famouscloudflower9595]

Thank you for this video, it was really useful and non-blabbery. It was defintely better than most people who are like "Just keep making videos" and that's it. You actually had some really great tips and I'm going to try and start booktube. Yay.

[@bookingit183]

I'm just starting my BookTube! This was so helpful, thank you!

[@nikabelova7480]

This was such a helpful video, I just recently got back into reading books and this video got me really excited about starting a book tube!

[@spacehowler6615]

Thanks for this video! I'm sure this will help me. I have to take a different approach where I don't show my face but I can do it. Can't wait for another video!

[@ohsoabby4689]

Ahh this was so helpful!!!! I've been on booktube for just over half a year and it's been so fun but I've definitely had to learn a lot and I honestly just wish I could've watched this video six months ago because it was really helpful and interesting!!!

[@readingtheart3097]

This video really helps! I have wanted to start filming videos so badly, talking about books, but I have been very nervous about the thought. This video completely convinced me and after I have rearranged my room this summer, I am filming my first video. You are an inspiration and I love your videos so much :)

[@chelsealovingbooks5961]

I know you posted this almost 2 years ago, but I just came across it and wanted to thank you. I have been considering starting a channel, and this video helped me gain a little more confidence that it is something that I could do.

[@unfamous5256]

I love this girl

[@ritabook]

Thank you so much for making this video! It is such a great help to us newbies! I started my channel not knowing anything (especially editing) and decided I really wanted to make my channel into something I am proud of. I'm definitely still learning but advice from big booktubers like yourself is much appreciated!!!

[@StephanieMarieLife]

I have literally been wanting to make a channel for a year now, but I always told myself I couldn't do it because I don't have the right camera. I watched this video and it just really inspired me to just go for it. I posted my first video and I am just hooked now. Thanks Hailey for always being so positive!! I have been watching your videos for a very long time now and they have just gotten better and better.

[@moonchild4241]

That is so cool! Best of luck in your Book Tube endeavours!

[@reclaimartistcollective6771]

I love your color coded bookshelf. I find that I always check out the bookshelves of newscasters that are broadcasting from home. And kitchens. I love rich people's kitchens. LOL.

[@CurlsCreativityChaos]

Hi Hailey! Thank you for your tips on getting started. The social media aspect really helped me promote my new channel. Thanks again! :)

[@charcarable]

I am so excited i found this video, I have wanted to start a booktube channel for so long and I think I am finally going to take the plunge!

[@jamimarj5253]

idk how but i just found you and can i just say, amazing video and personality aside, i love the arrangement of your books damn

[@legendarybooks1948]

Thank you so so much for this video, Hailey! I’ve been wanting to start a channel for a while but my biggest issue is talking in front of a camera. Hopefully, I will get over this soon because BookTube looks like a lot of fun!

[@nanipocket5965]

Very helpful tips! Sooooo just letting you know that your epic bookshelf of awesome just became my bookshelf goal inspiration! So well organized and presented, I had no idea that a bookshelf could be this pretty!

[@sarrahkaliski]

Thank you for making this video. So great and helpful. I actually found you from The Little Book Owl's video down in the recommended videos.

[@emilyalexandrarusso]

This is such a wonderful and helpful video, thank you so much for this! I've been thinking about starting my own booktube channel for such a long time now, and I think this came at a really great time for me :)

[@BooksAreMyHart]

Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I am *so* excited to be a (new) member of BookTube. I plan on using your tips to make the best videos I can. As always, great post!:)

[@sarinaherron386]

I love how you put this video up!! It really helps a lot. And I am glad you are mentioning this topic bc I’ve been wondering about it for a while. But could you soon do a video like this on how to get your name out in the bookstagram world on Instagram?

[@authorconfession4181]

Thanks for this! I'm looking to set up my own Booktube and your information was great! I also LOVE your style! Thank you so much for sharing!
