About the webinar

About the webinar

Within a few years of TikTok's meteoric rise in popularity and adoption, vertical video became core content across every social media platform, with algorithms reworking to prioritize creators and personalities who make video part of their mix.

Video-forward platforms including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube shorts—but also Facebook, X, Threads and even LinkedIn—reward users for bravely showing up on camera to share their thoughts and passions, and they all host rich, engaged and voracious communities of readers ready to discover you and your writing. In this session, discover what it takes to get started with (or improve!) your social video game, including what to post and where to reach new fans, build your platform and become an influential author.

This workshop will be interactive, with time questions and answers.
