So now you can see how you can create a whole bunch of promos from your book, but you can also create a book trailer. Let's say you were Neil Gordon and you wanted to create a cool clip from your book to promote on social media. For this I'm going to use more than just 11 labs and I'm going to go to my buddy Chatty. Chatgpt. I ask, do you know what makes a great book trailer? I then let it know that I'm going to provide a description and an excerpt from the book. And now I want a voiceover text and some suggestions for B roll. Chatty went a little insane with my first prompt and gave me a book tr that would need a 10,000, maybe even a $50,000 filming budget. So I sent Chatty back to the drawing board with specific instructions to make this impactful. So with that, I click generate video. I downloaded it and I gave it to my editors. For you doing this on your own, you may want to consider adding background music. Great. Narration is half the magic. The other half, it's background music. When it comes to trailers, you can grab royalty free music from YouTube's audio library or a site like Epidemic Sound to set the tone. Ultimately, let's see what my editors did.
One sentence can change everything. A struggling CEO, a secret persuasion technique. A single sentence that turns a no into a yes. From persuasion expert Neil Gordon comes the fable that's being called the most engaging, illuminating fable I've read in a long, long time. John David Mann New York Times best selling author, Best.
