I would have liked more information on how to put together the book trailer, especially how to purchase royalty-free videos and images.

Good course. No monkeying around. Straight to the point, which is what I like. I loved the 6 points. Exactly what I needed. I know what I need to do now to create a book trailer and I also got a peek at the tools I can use to create it. Thanks, Rob, for the booster rocket.

Interesting class, but I certainly wish it was longer and went more into detail. None the less I learned important new things.

Great examples, great information, but way too short. It felt very incomplete, and I left feeling unsatisfied.

The books represented by the trailers shown so far are not in a genre I normally read. However I can learn from them as Rob Child evaluates them and discusses what works well and what doesn't for each trailer. I'm looking forward to learning more helpful tips for creating book trailers.

As I continued the course, I especially enjoyed the last segment. Here Rob shares 5 online sites where you can create a good quality book trailer for free. I'll be trying them out.

Thanks for an enjoyable course, Rob!

It was a good course and nice and quick! It didn't have as much in depth about how to go about procuring images and videos. I would have liked a list of sites for that as well as for making the videos. But all in all...very good.

This course was quite insightful and well done. With all the folks capitalizing on the self-publishing author, it was refreshing to come across a resource that genuinely seemed focused on helping people. More importantly (for me) Rob has a lot of expertise and knowledge in the area and delivered quality content based on that experience. As I am sure many folks know, most of the "resources" out there do not.

This course delivered well more than $14 worth!

The two best things in this course, in my opinion, are the examples of what not to do and the sites to consider when making a free book trailer online.
