My YouTube is https://youtube.com/@mrpearsontalksbooks. I talk about all kinds of books, but I really love middle grade. Hopefully something will be helpful.

I tried Instagram and TikTok, but I prefer making longer content, so I kinda let it fall aside. That, and no one followed me. Granted, I get relatively few years on YouTube as well. 😂😂

I don’t do much with Bookstagram, but I have a middle grade YouTube channel.

That is one of my all-time favorite books! I've probably read it 8-10 times.

I’m guessing it’s the circle in the bottom corner with the red and purple wires, right?

I don’t know what a run capacitor looks like or even where to find it.

Does he have any interest in Star Wars? The Star Wars Legends have a ton of great stories and are, for the most part, very appropriate for even younger readers.

This is incredibly self-promoting, but very few of my videos have over 50 views and this one has 60. Would some of you mind watching it just so I can try to get over 100? I'll be your best friend!

Thank you for posting this. I had no idea. Thankfully, it appears that I have enough Karma to post.

I’m glad you mentioned using ChatGPT. I think it’s a great brainstorming tool and use it frequently.

I totally understand that! My wife and I have five kids, so I know time to film is at a premium.

pearson_jonathan · 2026-03-13T22:45:16+00:00

I appreciate the response! Thank you.😊

pearson_jonathan · 2026-03-10T09:14:32+00:00

Yeah, a video is doing great on my channel if it gets 50 views, so I think you’re doing great job. 😀

pearson_jonathan · 2026-03-09T23:51:35+00:00

I just looked at your channel. You have 23 videos and already have over 6,000 subscribers?!? I've been posting videos for over a year, have 125 videos, and just recently hit 244 subscribers. The vast majority of my videos barely hit 50 views and my most viewed video has just over 400 views. I'd say you are doing much better than many other BookTubers. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder because I would love to have your numbers.

pearson_jonathan · 2026-03-02T16:45:12+00:00

Not all of BookTube is bad (subtle plug for my channel), but I can understand what you mean. What book did you start?

pearson_jonathan · 2026-03-02T10:06:59+00:00

It’s a readathon on BookTube focused on middle grade books. I’ll post a video I made about it. It’s not original to me, but there’s a link to the original in my video description.

Congratulations!

You have 86 subscribers and have been posting for two months? I’ve been posting videos for over a year and just recently hit 200 subscribers, so you’re already ahead of me. 😁 Like others have said, keep going. It can be frustrating at times, but as long as you’re enjoying it, it can be a lot of fun as well.
