A book video is an engaging way to pique the interest of booklovers on the web. They are an excellent addition to
your marketing campaign and can help your book stand out in the online marketplace.
By posting your video on social media sites and your personal websites, you can reach a wide audience of online
video viewers and attract potential readers. Video marketing helps you engage your audience on a level they
can’t ignore.
Our Standard Book Video service includes the following features:
- Creation of a custom-made video book video, approximately 45 to 60 seconds in length
- Storytelling through text and 2-D graphics and image
- Distribution of your video to YouTube to enhance exposure and help generate interest in your book
- Web streaming capability
- Review of your video for TV and film consideration first by 5 More Minutes.
You will own all the rights to your book video and will be provided with the final video file to share with
readers, friends, and family and include in your marketing materials.
Revisions: You will be able to make one round of revisions to your video at no additional cost. Any
additional rounds of revisions will cost $500 for the Standard Book Video. Acceptable changes include:
- Simple text changes
- Changes in font size
- Corrections or additions to book and author information
- Changes to audio levels
- Image changes (if you provided your own or you feel an image is offensive)
Once your video is completed, it will be considered for TV or movie adaption first by 5 More Minutes.
If 5 More Minutes is interested in working with you, they will directly contact you to explain their plan of action
to gauge your interest.
If, after reviewing your video, 5 More Minutes decides not to engage with your concept, it will then be entered into
our Hollywood Database, where registered entertainment professionals can browse and search for new material to adapt
into feature films and television series.
