The books I read in July!


Hi everyone! I make book videos and vlogs on YouTube and I thought I'd share some of my videos on my blog. If you'd like to find out what I read in July, check out my July wrap up here.

The best way to increase blog traffic

This post contains affiliate links

So I have been blogging for a while and I have tried different sources of traffic but the best one that I have found so far is Pinterest! Now I know you've probably heard about Pinterest or even tried it. It is a notoriously difficult platform to crack but with the right tools, time and energy, it is possible to explode your blog traffic through Pinterest. 

The tool I'm talking about is a Pinterest guide that I started using last year. I am still getting traffic from pins I made over a year ago using this guide! And I know that if I had kept making pins and had the time and energy to keep making them regularly, I would probably have a lot more traffic now. I know bloggers who have been able to join Mediavine advertising due to getting massive traffic through Pinterest. 

I highly highly recommend this guide as it goes through everything you need to know to get way more clicks on your pins and to be picked up by the Pinterest algorithm.

Let's make a bookish community!

Hi everyone! I'd love for you to check out my YouTube channel where I post videos every Monday including book videos and vlogs. My dream is to grow my channel into a lovely community and I'd love for you to join!

We can talk about books we've read, books we want to read, recommend books to each other and just talk about life and things! You can join my channel here, feel free to subscribe if you'd like to and come chat with me in the comments!

If there are any videos you'd like me to create please let me know, including any tags or challenges you'd like me to try. I have some exciting ideas for upcoming videos :) 

Mental health art roundup 3

Hi everyone! I started an art page on my blog called the Corner of Positivity, this is a page where I am regularly uploading art and illustrated quotes that for me represent mental health and chronic illness. You can view the page here. I thought I'd start doing roundups where I display sections of the art to keep people updated in case you don't regularly check the page. Please feel free to bookmark the page if you'd like to. See roundup 2 here.

Booktube Roundup 1

Hello! So I started making book videos on YouTube towards the end of last year and I wanted to start sharing them over here on my blog. Most of my bookish content is now on YouTube and I'm really enjoying making videos about books. I have some exciting new content coming soon. Some of the videos I will be sharing in these posts are old videos and the quality has since massively improved so please bear that in mind if you watch the older videos! 

The first video I shared was my booktube newbie tag video, a staple video on YouTube where people that are new to making book videos say hello and talk about what kind of videos they would like to make. This video is probably the worst in terms of picture quality but possibly the best in terms of views which I find quite funny!

I then made a video talking about the best books that I read in 2020. I love this video because I talk about some great new reads that I discovered and I love talking about books I love! I then posted an opposite kind of video where I spoke about books that disappointed me in 2020. So far in 2021 I have had a lot of these unfortunately!

My next video was a reading vlog where I started The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson, the first book in the Mistborn series which I ended up really enjoying and I would highly recommend if you want to read some adult fantasy. 

Next up I made a video about 21 books I wanted to read in 2021! I'm really interested in going back to this video to see how many of the books I've read so far this year! Then we have the traditional bookshelf scavenger hunt video where I looked for books on my bookshelves that suited prompts given to me by people online! I like these types of videos because you get to talk about books you might not necessarily talk about in other videos.

I also created an original tag during this month which was where I matched books to some popular Christmas songs. If you're looking for content to create around Christmas (or you just like Christmas content) please feel free to check it out.

That's all for my first booktube roundup! If you'd like to watch all of my videos, here is my video page. Do you make book videos or watch them? I'd love to know.
