Un youtuber is a person who makes videos on the YouTube social network. However, for some time now, more than being youtubers, many also throw themselves into the literary subject and take out their own youtubers books.
Self-published or editorial, today there are many YouTubers who have taken that step and who have been encouraged to release the odd book. Many of them, almost the vast majority, are self-published, but others, those that have a great impact, have been signed by major publishers to get their stories. You want to know what youtubers books are there?
Why buy books from youtubers?
Reading is an activity that, more and more, finds obstacles to reach children. The fact that in schools the titles of the books are not modernized, or that they do not make this activity attractive to children, makes them flee from it.
If we also add that reading is not something that is encouraged at home (Because in very few households they spend time reading, fewer and fewer spend a part of their salary to buy a book. Or to read at least one book a month.
In the case of children and adolescents, they spend more time watching content on the Internet than reading. And they follow many "icons" that for them become people to follow and examples of how they could be when they grow up. That is, they follow personalities that catch their attention. Therefore, when they publish a book, even when they are not readers, they want it, because it's something about their favorite character, and they get to read it.
So is it worth it? Yes, it is a way of encouraging children to read, especially if they are the ones who ask for it and have the necessary interest to read it because their favorite person has written it (and they want to know everything that person has put in the book).
Why are these books more successful than others?
Basically, because they are followed by thousands of people and are influential enough to generate sales for their products. In fact, it is not only that they sell books, but they even sell many other products.
The influencers in social networks have a high capacity to influence people, Hence, in addition to earning money on YouTube and with other collaborations, books also become a way to continue with their success.
But does everyone get it? No, the truth is that only a few are known enough to have caught the attention of publishers or fans to buy your book. And below we give you examples.

Dallas Review

Most of the books written and self-published by youtubers are normally less deep in their history and / or plot, however, it gives us a closer opportunity to know in depth the opinions, experiences and way of thinking that the majority have regarding a theme. For example, the book "Chupa el perro", by the famous youtuber German Garmendia, offers us a vision about his life and experiences as in his videos, but at the cost of making it a bit more boring for those who are used to deep reading and elaborated.
