Our original mobile book trailers ranged anywhere from 40 seconds to just over a minute, allowing our authors to tell a deeper story than the conventional shorter videos now ubiquitous across the mobile web. Though our primary focus is on the :08, :15 and :30 lengths, there are still plenty of use cases that call for a longer video, especially for books, and that is why we still offer a 45 second package. Check out some of our :40+ book trailer examples below and read the stories behind them, showcased in multiple formats. For some :08, :15, :30 packaged examples, click here.

"Walking in Mud" (Nonfiction) :46 2:3 Pinterest Version Author Steve Giblin has written a fascinating book on how to cope with the new normal we all find ourselves living due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve draws on his more than 20 years' experience as a Navy Seal to offer wisdom to his readers on how to survive this new journey that the world has embarked upon. Based on a 106 word narrative that Steve submitted, we quickly created a book trailer that captures the essence of what "Walking in Mud" is about. Steve's kind words exemplify what it is we are trying to accomplish with our book trailers - "This is awesome! You guys have done something very cool. In just 45 seconds you gave my book a solid shot in the arm. I think anyone who has a business or something to sell could benefit greatly from your product." We also produced two shorter packages for "Walking in Mud." Check out our two :08, :15, and :30 versions here. Read more about "Walking in Mud" at Amazon. |

"The High Priestess" (Fiction - Audiobook Trailer) :44 This is our latest product offering, mobile book trailers for audiobooks. After creating a book trailer for indie author Katie Cross (see "Miss Mabel's School for Girl's" below), she asked us to create a trailer for her upcoming audiobook "The High Priestess," where she is doing the book narration herself. In today's current book industry an author’s personality is becoming a more significant part of their work and overall brand, and the author doing their own narration means that the readers are more invested in the author’s story. Listening to the voice of the author instead of just reading their words adds to the intimacy of this experience. The challenge then becomes getting a sample voice read out to the public. Enter mobile book trailers. With the advent of video everywhere now on social media platforms, the mobile book trailer offers a perfect opportunity to showcase the author's voice as they narrate the trailer itself, all set to engaging visuals that leave the viewer wanting for more. We are excited about releasing our first mobile audiobook trailer with Katie leading the way! - "I am so pleased with my audiobook book trailer for The High Priestess and cannot wait to show it to my current (and future) readers and fans. The process was smooth and my ability to breathe my brand into the video was very strong. I had a blast doing this!" - Katie Cross. Visit Katie's site to learn more about "The High Priestess", the first book in The Historical Collection (note she has yet to release the audiobook version, but it is coming soon!). |

It seems Nathan digs it as well - "Having my book trailer made into an engaging video by the Moblio Team was a breath of fresh air...After going on their journey from start to finish, I can say it was one of the best experiences ever...Thank you Moblio and team.

"Miss Mabel's School for Girls" (Fiction) :57 This was the first fiction trailer we produced for a published author back in late 2021. Looking to create samples, we discovered this popular title at Goodreads and got to work. Once done we reached out to the book's author Katie Cross who readily engaged with us. After some fantastic feedback from Katie, we revised the trailer per her recommendations and a new book trailer was born! Katie has continued to journey with us as we have built our business and her input along the way has been invaluable! She was really pleased with the results of this first trailer and we look forward to creating more for Katie. In her own words - "Loved the experience of working with your team and has already proven to be a great asset in my advertising strategy. You captured a compelling story with the photos and made it so easy to work together. Super cool!" Check out "Miss Mabel's School for Girls" on Katie's website. With more than 470 ratings and an average score of 4.5/5 stars, we are sure you are going to enjoy the read! |

"The Body Keeps The Score" (Nonfiction) 1:19 This book trailer was the first one we created for a published non-fiction title, though we have updated it since we produced the original version. In mid-2021 we were simply converting article text to captioned video when we had the epiphany that we could do the very same thing for books. So we decided to go to Amazon and create a captioned short for the first book that appeared on our search. The New York Times Bestseller "The Body Keeps the Score" was that book, and we immediately got to work. It didn't take us long to recognize that we could do this, and do it well, and a business was born! We have yet to connect with the author on this particular trailer but we still want to put it on display for the world to see. It is another good example of what we can do with a nonfiction book. Though it is over one minute long, we do plan on cutting a 30 second version at some point. As well, if we can help get the word out about this fantastic book on dealing with trauma, even better. So sit back and enjoy the experience. And if you or someone you know is dealing with trauma, don't hesitate to pick up the book and give it a read, or recommend it to others. It would be an honor for us to be the catalyst that might lead to some needed healing in someone's life. See the book at Amazon. |

"Bundle of Trouble" (Fiction) :56 When we took on the task of creating a book trailer for USA Today Bestselling author Diana Orgain, we did our best to not be intimidated. Diana's book "Bundle of Trouble" posed some interesting challenges for us. Loaded with lots of humor, we decided to go the fun route and create a custom "comic-strip meets video" experience. A unique approach that we had not yet seen in the marketplace, we are happy with the results, and so is Diana! - “The mobile book trailer team knew what I needed in my video better than I did. I’m totally delighted with the final product and working with them was not only seamless and easy but super enjoyable! Don’t hesitate to get your book trailer now!” - Diana Orgain, USA Today Bestselling Author. Catch "Bundle of Trouble" and the entire Maternal Instincts Mystery collection at Diana's website. |

"The Gospel According to Jack" (Nonfiction) :58 This trailer is near and dear to our hearts. moblio.io founder Doug Broomfield's father passed away recently at the age of 92 and left behind a vast amount of writings on his philosophy of life. These writings were beautifully written and his family is currently going through all his transcripts and editing the wisdom he shares into a cohesive document. Now we have not yet decided if and what we will share, but if we do, the title "The Gospel of Jack" seems to be appropriate, though that is just a working title at this point. This is one of the very first book trailers we created. The response convinced us that we were on to something with this whole mobile book trailer idea, and a business was born! When we launched our :08, :15, :30 package we quickly jumped and created three new versions for the book. You can see them on this page. |

"Gathering of the Tribe" (Fiction) :46 We created this for a new author who has yet to publish her book. She had not yet finished up her book description so we asked her to simply send us whatever synopsis she had at the time. She was interested in incorporating some quotes into the trailer, so we did just that, cutting together this short but powerful quote-driven video. When the work was done she was pleased, saying "You have a great idea, here. It's so exciting to see the book come to life!...I really like how you incorporated my requests. I can see these being part of my marketing plan for sure. Thank you so much for your work!" |

"The Aviatirx Mindset" (Nonfiction) :48 Commercial airline pilot and certified life coach Dawn Cook brings a new and exciting nonfiction book to the market that will certainly transform the lives of those who read it. With Dawn's life story and commitment to working with others to become their best selves, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to produce this trailer for her new book. In Dawn's own words: "This book is the foundation of my belief in that every woman should not only know how powerful she is, but more so, I believe every woman should know how to use that power to design the life she desires! The trailer is excellent and really showcases the main elements of what I coach and how my clients find success...fantastic!" See "The Aviatrix Mindset" over at Amazon. |

"Rise of the Omitians" (Fiction - Mockup) :25 Yes, this one is only 25 seconds but we did want to share it and this page seemed to be the best fit. In developing our offering we created a number of mockups to dial in our process and system. This is one of those mockups. Having fun with the cinematic music track and some pretty awesome images, we developed the fictitious book "Rise of the Omitians." The trailer has actually inspired us to think about actually writing this book! If we only had the time. Enjoy. |
