Default Kindle book trailers?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for interesting examples of book trailer videos for Kindle ebooks - particularly those done in a style other than a talking head.

I came across a few of these a couple of weeks ago in the course of ordinary Google searches but didn't save the links.

Thank you for any leads!

Hi Marcia,

Below is the link to my book trailer. Not a talking head.
I had it done for me on Fiverr. The lady who does them is named Goodgift. I recommend her. I was very, very happy with the trailer she did for me.

@Dailybread

Did you supply the images and audio or did she supply them.

Hi Joseph,

I supplied the images and words and Goodgift put it all together with the audio.
She is good. Really good.

This is a fantastic trailer! Putting a Call to Action - is *very smart*

One thing I would consider going forward is maybe having it around minute 1:00?
Why because as it's so good when I'm ready to "click through" to go and purchase it I don't wanna have to wait...

Just a thought. Good going with your Kindle Publishing!!

If I were you, I would ask her for proof that the music is licensed for you to use. If she is only making $4 it's hard to believe she is buying royalty free music for each client.

Woah! I honestly have never heard of this kind of idea before. Very unique for sure.

I would say the more professional looking the better, but again, that could be an ignorant statement as I never imagined that anyone would ever create a "trailer" for a book--much less an ebook!

Like I said, a very cool concept. Off to Google some stuff now and see what kind of "book trailer" world exists out there.
