"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt. If you let the fear of others mocking you prevent you from speaking, you've already let them win because they've convinced you to silence yourself without them needing to say a word. I've got two channels--one for anime that I started in April and one for books I just started a few days ago. What I've found is that if I'm talking about shows, I watch them more consistently and if I'm talking about books I read more consistently.
You were one of the reasons why I finally decided to start a booktube channel. Seeing another Asian girlie around my age in the community made me feel safe. So, for that, I just wanna say thank you for paving the way 💖
I DO SPEAK TO MYSELF, like literally out loud and i always get asked by family who I’m talking to😂 I speak as if I’m already talking to an audience like I’m already in front of a camera sooo maybe I should just bite the bullet n start speaking in front of an actual camera….
I created my booktube sometime ago and even though I ain’t consistent yet, I love every time I get to post a new video… It’s incredible to be able to keep these memories in video and to see it materialised ❤ I wanted to create an RUclips channel since forever and it took me so long to do it, that’s the only thing I regret! I totally agree with you, thank you for this!
thank you for posting this!! 🥺 i literally just started mine like a month ago and im still struggling with the confidence and anxiety haha a lot of this was so helpful and encouraging!! 🥰😭❤
i can confirm that starting a booktube has been so life changing for me! although i didn't start my channel for book content, joining the booktube community has been so fun and rewarding and i hope this gives everyone the push to start too ✨
I have been struggling for a while with the thinking "can I make this or that?" and your video just reminded me that I started youtube because I wanted to document moments to look back on. And because I thought it was fun. Thank you
Hey, this video is exactly what i needed. Ive had a channel for almost a year and i always feel so self conscious of it and feel uncomfortable filming or talking about it because if anybody i know personally looks at my videos i just feel so weirded out by it. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VID!!!
This was so helpful, thank you so much for being your authentic self and trying to get us to be as well! I’m 6-months strong into my BookTube channel and it’s been scary but so fun!
The externalization is soo true, i just started mine and it’s been so freeing! also want to add you’ll be surprised to see how supportive people can be considering everyone watches RUclips lately.
I’ve just started my Booktube channel and I’m having so much fun! Everything you say is so true - I love talking about the books I love, and I’ve definitely gained confidence. Everyone should do it!
istg timing truly works in mysterious ways, I literally posted my first ever video yesterday! thank you so much for the advice! I've wanted to start a channel for YEARS and my anxiety wouldn't let me 😭 I wish I had had this video earlier 💖💖
I just started my booktube this year and it has been so fun!! I agree, everyone should do it! 😂💕 I actually stopped reading in 2019 - the longest I’ve gone without reading :( but I have enjoyed getting back into reading in 2024 ☺️
Thank you for the encouragement! I self published a book this year, and I was debating starting a booktube to help find people who might be interested and talk about other indie books I like, so now I think I will 🥰
Just started my channel yesterday because of Sunny!! I’ve been wanting to do it since I found her channel during quarantine, but never got the courage to until now 😭 Tysm for this video 🫶
i remember your other video about making a youtube channel and you just kept saying just do it like just make the channel even if you don't post yet and i did that and now i have over 20 videos 😭 you really did inspire me 💗💗💗💗💗
AHH i started mine a few days ago and posted my first video bc of your other “why u should make a booktube” vid from 2 years ago!!! i had so much fun making it, and got a couple comments and 6 subscribers, which honestly i was not expecting and makes me so happy!! i’m so excited to keep going and it wouldn’t have happened without you so THANK YOU!!!😭💗💗
can’t wait for the *getting over the sound of my own voice* stage bc right now when i edit i’m still in the *cut my ears off, i should never speak again* stage
so not exactly a booktube, but your advice in one of your older videos to just get started with uploading videos really inspired me to start uploading some of my singing covers to youtube, so thanks heaps for that! also, I've just started studying speech path at uni and your slp student vlog is helping me ✨ romanticise studying ✨ haha. Loved this video!
Hey! I started a booktube channel a few weeks ago as well as a bookish etsy shop, so I'm kind of doing videos connected to both of those. Thanks for this video! I really love the optimism and positivity!
started watching your videos very recently while trying to gather some motivation to read and now youre making me want to create a channel so i can talk about whatever i want :) thank you so so much !!
I haven't uploaded to my booktube channel (this one) for 3 YEARS :'( but I've really started to miss it lately, like I was watching my old videos and remembering how much fun I had. I feel like seeing this video at this time was a genuine wakeup call and a ~sign~. I think I will definitely give it another try. Thank you for your encouragement :)
I started my booktube channel a I think a year ago (I think I'm going on 2 years) and it's so fun even though I don't get many views the process is so fun plus I get to yap about books like crazy which is fun!
So excited to watch this. I've had a YT channel since 2021 but it was in a different genre (handbags) and a year ago, right after getting monetized (!!), I just stopped making videos. I wasn't as into bags anymore. But I've always been into books! I want to pivot my channel. I took the first step this week and filmed something. I have no idea how I'm going to do this! 😬 Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks for your video..I just started my booktube channel in mid september..I've only been up a month... it's been a slow start.. 30+ subscribers thus far...but I have had fun talking about books...I have plans to get more creative, thanks to your video..Your energy is infectious...love your videos...thanks, again
I've been talking about doing a booktube channel for over a year now and your video was the push that made me actually make the channel and customize it a bit. Next step is actually making a video! ^.^;
I didn’t realize how much effort it actually took to film, edit and upload a video until I started a Booktube channel lol best decision I ever made tho ❤
everything you said is soo true. i wanted to make a youtube channel for yearss and i didn’t know what i wanted it to be a about. but then i started reading books and i knew that this is what i want to yaaappp about lol. last December i was thinking that i ll start it and then another part of my brain was like noo start it in the new year. but ykw i said no. like you said i just started. i didn’t wait for a new year or a new month. i just started. even though my videos are kinda imperfect, i get a little awkward around camera i am not very good at editing i just started.
'I know that when you feel ashamed about something you have this urge to tell people cuz you think that people should know and make you feel bad about it' oh my you just put words to something I do but didn't even realise, thank you! This was a very helpful video :) (and maybe this summer I'll consider trying it!)
I started my booktube channel 5 months ago and I mainly just did it because at the moment I am a stay at home mom. I wanted to talk to someone about the books that I am reading. I started reading middle grade books for my daughter that is seven years old so I could talk to her about books that she might be read to at school. I include both my 7 year old and almost 2 year old with doing my tbr. I use candyland with my daughter and at the moment for choosing my tbr I am introducing colors to my son to help choose when he gets an opportunity. So far it has been fun experience. I think the challenging part is learning how to make thumbnails and being entertaining to watch. Thanks for doing this video.
I been talking to myself like I’m on camera for as long as I remember. I originally made this booktube channel back in 2012 but stopped because I wanted to focus on school and back then was harder to make videos.
I made a booktube channel in the summer of 2023 and i really loved making videos but some incidents happened with a disgusting m*n and i deleted it. but now im BORED and this video genuinely couldnt have come at a better time since ive already filmed and im halfway through editing a video :)) LOVE YOU GAL
I promised I would let you know when I started my channel so...here it is! "Gatos e Livros" menas "Cats and books" in Portuguese. Thank you for inspiring me to get started! ❤
Hi!! I am Mariana and I am a young teacher who loves Taylor Swift and boooks! I have been doing booktube for years!! But I just started booktube in english this month and I am afraid of failinggggg! Thank you for this video, it was so cute!
Girl you convince me I will start my channel this month.❤ Tank you for giving me the courage.Also I’m of the person who always talks in the empty room imaging I gave people listening to me😂
u are one of the bookish content creators that inspired me to make my own booktube and it’s ALSO one of the best things I’ve ever done!!! 😭😭😭💗💗 sunny the GOAT
I would LOVE to, but I suck with editing and I am super impatient with editing. I have made a fullblown video on issue's with YA, but didn't include my face- something like that... I know I can make something like that again. It was fun! I think me alone is boring ! I am not great at being fun with things I love.
i started my booktube channel last month and its already the best creative project ive ever started!!! (p.s.: i have talked to myself as if im being watched since i was a kid i didnt know other people didnt 😭)
I have been wanting to start booktube a few years ago and in the midst of contemplation I got pregnant and gave birth and my baby is turning one year old soon and I still lack the courage LOL. I take this as a sign from the universe then?
so it’s my sign huh okay interesting thing about me english isn’t my first language so idk what audience i should work towards 😭 i mostly read books in english, and from time to time they’re not translated to my native language for different reasons. but i also read books from authors who write in my language. i feel disconnected from both communities 😭 yeah.. idk what to do about that. i wanna be more present on the english speaking side of the internet but i don’t really belong there and bc i still live in my country i don’t have opportunities that english speaking creators have. it’s a whole mess 😭😭
HAVENT EVEN WATCHED A MINUTE YET BUT THE INTRO IS SO TRUE. I saw a quote a few months back that said "to be seen as lame in the eyes of someone i would never want to be like is nothing but an absolute success" PERIOODDD
PERIOD
The way you made me feel even more empowered and confident to keep going and continue to create content😭❤️❤️❤️
2024 is really the year to start new things especially RUclips!

Yes! I am always narrating my day. It is almost like I am living in a youtube video literally playing it out. I thought I was the only one.

I have a Booktube channel, but I can't think of anything to make a video about. But, this is true, 2024 is the year of new beginnings.
The externalization is soo true, i just started mine and it’s been so freeing! also want to add you’ll be surprised to see how supportive people can be considering everyone watches RUclips lately.
I’ve just started my Booktube channel and I’m having so much fun! Everything you say is so true - I love talking about the books I love, and I’ve definitely gained confidence. Everyone should do it!
