I’ve never used Fiverr, but my best friend did for a logo with much success. My husband is a videographer and musician/songwriter, and in the future he wants to use a talented artist for some animation and AI conceptual work.
I prefer #3 because at the beginning focus is on the book and I can see your name! It's simple and easy to follow and invites me to read your book.
#2 I also like, but not as well as #3. #2 I kept waiting for the video to play! 😂
You are on the cutting edge Charlotte, yours is the first book trailer we have ever seen! Fun fact, FVRR was a YOLO FOMO stock (affectionately called a stonk way back then) during the Pandemic years.
I like book trailers. But it’s so easy to send the wrong message with audio/visual material that I sometimes get confused about why a trailer was made the way it was.
I can tell you that young people like them a lot! My students really enjoy seeing quick trailers before going to the library. A good trailer moves books. Bad trailers don’t.
I like the first video you showed because it gave me a sense of the story as you describe it. I’ve never used Fiverr, but I’d like to in the future. Have a good one!
I actually liked the one from the Indian girl the best. It needed 5 to 10 seconds more but what was there looked and sounded like a film trailer. With a couple more lines from your pitch and some background images it would’ve been great. Did you think about making a script for the video frame by frame? Maybe this would’ve cut the back and forth.
I thought #1 was great and nailed it except, the font was a bit too Halloweeny. Otherwise, gave me chills and definitely made me interested enough to look further into what this book might be about.
I make my own trailers for the exact reasons you say towards the end.
Of the three from Fiver I think the first was the most punchy and got my interest but the font just didn't work and was somewhat unreadable on some of the backgrounds.
Your book sounds great and only you know it best at this stage. I'd love to see a version you made yourself if you have time.
Great post! So informative and useful plus a good read! I know this poll is closed, but the fourth one is my favorite. 🤩

The literal pros and cons 😄 That's kina genius. Yes, I use Fiverr a lot. My experience has been entirely positive so far.
