Stories aren’t meant for only book pages.
They are meant to be read, seen and experienced (and video can be an effective tool to make that happen).
In fact, video storytelling can…
Lights, camera, author!
It’s time to step into the spotlight, shift the storytelling lens, and showcase your story visually.
Video is valuable. In fact, it captivates, engages and connects with readers and clients in ways that your book just can’t. A necessary complement to your written story, videos enhance communication, boost engagement, deepen loyalty and increase brand visibility. By incorporating video into your marketing efforts, you’ll build stronger connections with your readers and clients and reach new ones along the way.
Why should I invest in videography?
Video consumption is on the rise; it’s how people get their news, learn about resources, increase their skillset and connect with their favorite brands. Don’t miss out on the power of leveraging professional videos as an author. In fact, videography can support:
Introduce your readers and clients to the author behind it all.
While the types of videos authors and authorpreneurs can create are endless, we believe that there are three nonnegotiables: video business cards, book trailers and speaker reels. Check out some examples of the videos we’ve supported authors in creating.
Video Business Card
A digital world calls for a digital business card (VBC), which authors and authorpreneurs alike can benefit from having. VBCs serve as great door-openers that seal deals, authentically introduce you to a new reader or client, and extend your brand in a meaningful and emPactful way.
Speaker Reel
Many nonfiction authors find that their readers want more from them after reading their books. For some, that becomes the foundation of a business, and a speaking business is one of those business solutions. A speaker reel offers meeting planners, organizations and companies an insight into the professionalism you bring to any stage.
Book Trailer
Introduce readers to your book in a way that is a captivating visual journey. Stimulate a multitude of senses by incorporating visuals, interviews, music and more to create an immersive experience that sparks curiosity and captivates potential readers. Just like a movie trailer, a book trailer aims to ignite interest, provide a glimpse into the book and leave the reader craving more.
