Video ideas for authors and teachers
"I wrote this book for moms who feel alone raising their kids. Here's an idea from chapter 3." "In 30 seconds: the proportion rule that shows up on every exam." "Enrollment for the March cohort opens Monday. Here's what you'll learn." One video per idea, no reshoots.
An avatar with your face or one from the catalog
If your name is the brand, use your face: readers and students buy from people they know. If you'd rather not appear, the catalog avatars work for course and ebook ads. See also the page for course creators.

A 30-second video costs 19 credits on Premium (1080p) or 11 on Economy (720p), both rendered by AvataReel Motion. Videos come without a watermark and can be used in ads.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make an AI video with my own face to promote my book?
Yes. On AvataReel you upload a photo of your face and record 10 to 90 seconds of your voice. The AI creates your avatar, and from then on you only type the script: the video comes out with your face and your voice, in 9:16. The first avatar is free.
How much does it cost?
The first avatar is free. Videos use credits: credit packs start at $9 and monthly plans at $12, paid by card in USD. A 30-second video costs 19 credits on Premium or 11 on Economy.
Do I need to be on camera?
No. You need a photo of your face and a short voice recording, made only once. After that, each new video is just text: you type the script and the avatar speaks for you.
Can I show the book cover in the video?
Yes. Upload the cover photo as the product. You talk about the book and the video shows AI-generated scenes of it. With a product photo, the video gets AI-generated scenes of the product in use and costs 34 credits more, on both qualities.
Does it work for long lessons?
AvataReel is built for short videos, up to 5 minutes. For long lessons, split the content into shorter videos, which also work better on social media.
