VIDEO #1 - Your Book
Your video is an opportunity to captivate your potential readers. Here’s a guide to help you structure your video effectively:
- Identify Your Audience: start by identifying who your book is for. Is it people who love fantasy worlds and powerful magic? science fiction fans? maybe self-improvement enthusiasts? Or perhaps those seeking a heart-melting romance?By understanding your target audience, you can begin the video in a way that speaks directly to them.
- Capture Attention Immediately: The first 5 seconds of the video are the most important.
Make your message clear and enthusiastic right from the start.
For example:
- “So you think you know everything there is to know about dragons and magic?… Well, let me tell you about a book I wrote….”
- “In this short video, I will tell you about a love story that will make you feel the most passionate emotions known to humans… In the book I wrote, you will get to know…”
- “Let me ask you – do you want to break a glass ceiling and move to the next level in your career and business? In my book….”
- Do not copy those sentences word to word, as long as you understand the concept
- Continue on to what problem this book resolves
This can be: I haven’t read a fantasy book with dragons for a long
time, or I miss the feeling of reading old-school science fiction, or
didn’t feel an intense passion and love in my life for a long time, or
I need to know how to be happy with my life. - Why is this book personal for you? Share a few sentences about
why you decided to write this book and what you learned during
the process. - Always finish with a call to action. “Check my book on Amazon”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Spines
Not at all! While we appreciate high-quality videos, what’s most important is the content and your genuine message. Most modern smartphones have a camera quality suitable for our needs. Just ensure you record in a horizontal (landscape) format in a well-lit and quiet environment to enhance the video and sound quality.
If your video doesn’t meet the provided guidelines, our team will review it and reach out to you with specific feedback. We might suggest minor edits or provide guidance on how to re-record your video to align with our standards. Our main goal is to ensure your video effectively reaches and resonates with the audience, so we’re here to help you achieve that.
We recommend sticking to the 60-second limit to ensure better viewer engagement on social media platforms. However, if your video slightly exceeds this duration, please submit it, and our team will review. If essential details are conveyed beyond the 60-second mark, we may consider making an exception or providing feedback on potential edits to fit the timeframe.
Once you submit your video and it meets our guidelines, it typically takes 5-10 business days for it to be processed and scheduled for posting. However, the exact timing might vary depending on the current volume of submissions and any campaign-specific schedules.
We understand that not everyone is comfortable appearing on video, whether it’s a preference or due to personal reasons. If you’d prefer, you can send us a voice recording of your testimonial instead. To ensure the video remains engaging, we’ll pair your voice with an image of your book cover. While videos with faces tend to create a more personal connection and may perform better in terms of exposure, we believe that the passion and authenticity in your voice can also resonate powerfully with the audience.
