Lean Publishing Tip of the Day: Make a Book Promo Video or Apply for a Leanpub Launch Video
Don’t worry about high production value or animation or anything like that - just sit where you normally work and do video calls and record a short video, just three to five minutes, introducing yourself and your book, talking about what it’s about and who it’s for.
One great way to get people to buy your book is to record a short video about it.
You can record the video using Zoom or pretty much any video calling app you prefer.
Create call or meeting with just yourself, and hit the record button!

It make take a few tries, but eventually you’ll get it right - no one can “do it live” without practice first!
Check out Thad McIlroy’s book The AI Revolution in Book Publishing for a great example of what these videos look like.
When you’re done, just publish the video on your YouTube channel (it’s free and pretty easy to do), and then you can embed the video on your book’s landing page on Leanpub.
…Or You Can Apply to Have Us Do the Recording for You!
If doing a Zoom call to talk about yourself sounds exciting, but recording, editing, producing, and publishing a short video sounds boring, then you can apply for us to do it for you in a free Launch video.
