    We make animated videos to increase your traffic and conversion rates. Animated videos are usually so expensive, for example check out lilipip.com/pricing/ , the price goes up to $10,000/minute.

    Currently, we offer 3 styles of animated videos at the moment. We make Hands-on, Cartoon Style and Talking Character style videos for your business or regular website. You can check out the details on my signature.

    It's very easy to check yourself how much the price can go? All you have to do is to find fiverr only for checking what's going on there.

    Apart from fiverr, what you should do is go to odesk.com and put your post as a job post. Just don't mention that you don't need it now. Mention in the job - "Quote with at least 1 previous similar job example". To make sure desperate contractors are not quoting just like that and wasting your time mention tell them to mention "The job is clear to me" in the application. This is just to make sure that they've read your job post clearly and they know where you asked for what.

    I hope that helps.

    P.S. Price range really varies to an extended limit. Some will quote for $50 and some $500 it's absolutely your job to decide whom you'll consider. So, proper interview is important.

      Video marketing is one of the best way to marketing your product and business. You can also pay some more money for your video and develop your business. It is also making some good and related information about marketing to pay so much time and money.

    webpeon, if you are looking to get animated videos made, you can get them for free. Recently there was a tool launched called powtoon which helps you create your own high quality videos.

    Check them out and let us know what your experience has been like.

    Price of the video depend on the type and quality of videos. Sometimes voice over only can cost you around $20-$30. So it all depends on your preference.

    I say that the animation and voice overs will be quite expensive because the video rendering/editing itself will be quite easy. To save money, don't go for companies who make video professionally but go for those individual professionals who can get all the requirements done virtually by himself. You can find professionals like those in freelancer websites like oDesk and eLance. For the video(s) you would like done, I think you'll be set back by roughly about $100 - $200. For lower quality work or for amateur contractors (not necessarily meaning they have low-quality work, some amateur contractors charge lower because they still need to have a portfolio or prove something to others, etc.), you can probably get a $80 to $150 charge.

    Subjective question...

    Competitively priced, proven results, quality producer with professional voice-overs... around $3000-$5000 for what you listed.

    Average quality, low experience producer, generic animations, amateur voice artist, $1000-$2000.

    Low quality, just starting out producer, stock animations, beginner voice artist... under $1000.

    DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT commit to any provider until you take a look at; Video Creation | Online Video Creation Service - Moviixx

    These guys did a number of videos for my clients and they not only get you noticed; they convert better. And conversions are what it's all about.

    Hope that helps.

    You can pay anthing from $5 a minute into the $xx,xxx price ranges.

    Obviously some people offer better value for money than others so look around and use due diligence when selecting a partner.

    Personally I do all of my own animation but I'm certainly not at a professional standard, just what I learnt as a kid messing around.
