We all know video is super popular but is there a way you use video to engage your readers? You bet. Besides having one professionally created you could host a contest that encourages readers to create a short video about your book. You’ll need to award some great prizes for this, that goes without saying but think of the fun you could have with a video contest like this? Especially if your book slants to a younger crowd, a video contest could be a great way to promote your book and get your readers engaged in your message.
