3 Immediate Actions To Help You Build Momentum In Engaging Visual Learners with Video Books
Create a 60-Second Canva Video Prototype
From Holly’s toolkit: Open Canva → Select “Video” template → Upload 1 paragraph of your book’s audio (use phone recording) → Pair it with 3 stock videos/images that match the mood.
Record a Raw Audiobook Chapter
Michele’s hack: Use Voice Memos (iPhone) or Audacity → Read one chapter aloud WITHOUT editing. Save as “Draft 1.”
Pro tip: “Your authentic voice connects deeper than any narrator” (Michele). Listen back to identify 2-3 sections where visuals would boost engagement.
Storyboard One Book Section
Pick a high-impact chapter (e.g., personal story/data chapter).
Divide it into 3 “scenes” (intro, key concept, call-to-action).
For each scene, jot down:
Visual metaphor (e.g., “rising graph” for growth)
Music vibe (e.g., upbeat vs. contemplative)
Example: Michele’s “Magnet to Money” chapter used dog-in-sunglasses clips to symbolize “fun prosperity.”
