Outlining Tips And Video Marketing On YouTube With Jenna Moreci

How can you outline a story based on a ‘thought dump' and interweave genre tropes you love to create a successful book? How can you use video marketing to reach more readers, even if you are an introvert? Jenna Moreci gives her tips.

Informative chat, from two well established authors, about the process of writing, publishing, marketing, and social media. Worth your time to watch. I saved this to Pinterest to revisit. Thanks!

Joanna good for you with the improvements in your powerlifting! Can't wait to hear about your experience after doing your first competition.

[@thecreativepenn]

Thanks! That's in the calendar for 2025!

[@tammytravis1771]

I like both longer and shorter content. With the longer content, I do appreciate that you both add video notes at critical points, so a person can skip to what they are most interested in revisiting.

Thanks, UA-cam does automatic chapters on the longer form now, which is useful

Joanna I don’t want to be a wet blanket but wait till you try to take one of your audiobook titles OFF Findaway. They simply won’t do it. They say they will , but they absolutely don’t. BEWARE! They’ll keep your book forever!

I recommend working with their helpdesk team. It can take a while, especially with wide books, but they will manage it eventually.
