From Page to Camera: How Authors Can Build Visibility

Marketing your book doesn't have to feel overwhelming or inauthentic.

One of the most powerful tools available today—especially for authors—is video.

But what if you’re more comfortable behind a keyboard than in front of a camera?

Good news: You don’t have to become a performer. You just need a few simple strategies.

Here’s a glimpse at how you can start using video to connect with more readers and grow your book’s reach.

1. You Don’t Need to Be Perfect to Be Powerful

Readers want to connect with you—not a polished persona.

A simple, heartfelt video introducing yourself, sharing your book’s story, or offering a quick tip is enough to build trust.

Pro Tip: Start with 30 seconds. One idea, one message. Done.

2. Video Creates Faster, Stronger Relationships

When readers can hear your voice, see your expressions, and feel your enthusiasm, they’re far more likely to remember you—and your book.

Whether it’s on social media, your website, or a launch announcement, short videos help break through the noise.

3. Practice Builds Confidence (Not Perfection)

Confidence comes through doing, not waiting.

You don’t have to post your first video to the world. Practice in a supportive space first—like The Writer Experience group!

Small steps lead to natural growth.
