The third option for adding content to your YouTube channel if you are a published author falls under my definition of a “book teaser.” This option is similar to a book video trailer, although not as long and not as customized. At Outskirts Press we produce book teasers for our authors for just $99 and provide them with the high-quality MP4 file to help them get their video channel underway. We also offer the same service for authors who published elsewhere for $109.
Book teasers are short, only 30 seconds or less in length, and in that manner they share some similarities with the first option I discussed, television commercials. But that is where their similarities end. Commercials typically feature full-motion video and professional voice overs, and as a result, a much higher budget. Book teasers typically have none of the above. They serve more as a standardized video announcement that a book is now available.
Nevertheless, for an author seeking content for their YouTube channel and their other online marketing efforts, a $99 book teaser sets them on the right path. Here’s an example of one.
Outskirts Press published authors can order book teasers within their Publishing Center by clicking here.
