How Nonfiction Authors Can Use YouTube to Sell More Books and Build Authority - BM478

You’ve been told YouTube is for influencers, but what if it’s actually the smartest way you can grow your book brand?

This week's guest expert is Louise Brogan. She’s a LinkedIn expert, YouTube creator, and author of Raise Your Visibility on LinkedIn. She also hosts the Raise Your Visibility Podcast. 

Louise Brogan has over 100,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 3 million video views. In this episode, she shares how she became a thought leader, starting as an accidental YouTuber. 

You’ll learn how to use video to grow your audience, build authority, and sell more books.

Key Takeaways:

• Become the go-to expert. Answer specific, high-value questions instead of pushing your book.
• Turn questions into content. Use reader feedback and Google suggestions to create videos people actually search for.
• Beat the algorithm. Short, focused videos that solve one problem keep viewers watching and coming back for more.
• Get more clicks. Strong thumbnails and titles spark curiosity and drive discovery.
• Build loyal followers. The more useful your channel, the more people subscribe without being asked.

Tune in to transform the way you use video to market your book and connect with your ideal readers!
