Book launch videos are a great way to promote your new book or course on Leanpub!

You can record your own video of course, but you can also apply to record a Launch video with Leanpub co-founder Len Epp (it's free).

We don't have the resources to record a Launch video for every application, but we really do review them all!

The best way to apply is to click "Apply Now" when you publish your book for the first time:

You can also apply for a Launch video by filling out this form.

Filling out the form in advance of your first publication date is a great we to arrange things so we can arrange to publish the video on the day you publish your book.

If we accept your application, you will get an email invitation sent to your Leanpub account email address with the subject "Leanpub Launch Video Invitation".

In the email, you will be able to click a Calendly link to choose a time to record the video.

We'll then edit the video and publish it on our YouTube channel, and post it elsewhere on social media.

We'll also create a post about it on our blog.

Here's an example of a Launch video:

You can see the blog post for this video here.

We make it easy to embed a video on your landing page:
