WHERE BOOK VIDEOS SELL BOOKS

WHERE BOOK VIDEOS SELL BOOKS

Q: What is a book video?

A: A commercial for a book.

Q: What is the purpose of a book video?

A: To sell the book

Q: How long should a book video be?

A: Ideally one minute or less. Two minutes at the absolute longest.

Q: Where can readers most easily find my book video?

A: YourBookTube.com 

Q: Why not just post my book video on YouTube?

A: You can, but there isn’t even a category for books. Book Videos just get lost on YouTube, and there is no catalogued way to find them.

Q: Why can’t I just put my book video on my own website?

A: You can, but then your book video’s audience is limited only to those who come there.

Q: Why is YourBookTube.com the BEST place for book videos.

A: Book videos get higher visibility with a targeted market of readers looking for books.

Q: Who can post on YourBookTube.com?

A: YourBookTube.com is designed for all kinds of books from all kinds of authors: self-published authors, publishers and their authors, book publicity agents and their clients, reviewers and editors and their clients, and book video developers and their clients.

Q: What inspired the creation of YourBookTube.com?

A: We saw the need for a one-stop-shop place for book videos and the books they represent to make them a truly effective way to publicize a book. YourBookTube.com is that place.

Q: What qualities make a good book video?

A: Good content revealed through pictures, music, text, and voiceover.

  • Content reveals the focus of the book
  • Pictures illustrate the main point of the commercial
  • Music sets the mood
  • Voiceover talks directly to the viewer.
  • Text reinforces content suggested by the pictures and music.

Q: How long should a book video be?

A: Book videos are commercials for books. Effective commercials tease you into buying the product, and they do so in 30 to 60 seconds. Take longer than that, and the viewer mentally tunes out. On the internet, spending longer than a minute is rare. If the book video doesn’t capture the viewer’s interest in the first five to ten seconds, the viewer clicks it off. Five to ten SECONDS! That’s all the time you get to keep the viewer watching.

Q: Can I get a book video if I don’t have one?

A: Of course! There are many ways to get a book video made for your book. We make them at WEB4W.com.
