Track Winners Books Sold
I’d like to be able to track how many books sold when I label a video a Winner. It’s a manual process to look it up and it’s something I’ve been doing each month so I know what videos to keep remaking.

Hi Rich, we're working on an exciting feature that will do just that! We're thinking we'll be releasing to the public in the next two weeks, so stay tuned! :)
🎁 5 beta spots: holiday gift videos for your book (live for everyone next week)
From now until Christmas, a lot of the people who find your book won't be buying it for themselves. They'll be buying it for their dad, their mum, their partner, their best friend, their Secret Santa. And most book videos don't speak to them. A normal hook is written for a reader. A gift buyer is asking a different question: "Who would love this?" So we built gift videos. 🎁 HOW IT WORKS When you make a video, Sonder asks one extra question: "Is this a gift video?" Say yes, then pick: 👤 Who it's for: Dad, Mum, Partner, Friend, Teen, Kid, Colleague / Secret Santa, Themselves, or let Sonder pick 📅 The occasion: Any gift, Black Friday, The holidays, or Christmas Sonder rewrites your opening hook and your call to action for someone buying your book as a present. The story in the middle stays exactly the same. Here's a real one from Last Man Out (for Dad, Christmas): 🎄 Hook: "Stuck on something small but real for your dad this Christmas? Ron Wade sat in front of three former Royal Flying Corps pilots and nearly talked his way out of the war before it started." 🎁 Call to action: "Ronald M Wade's full story is in Last Man Out, and your dad's going to want every page of it under the tree this year. The link's in the bio. Go get it for him." Same book, same story, but now it's selling a present. (Screenshots below.) THE DETAILS ✅ Works on Viral Script, Slideshow, POV, Quick Reaction Hook and Person on camera ✅ Pick Christmas and it uses Christmas words. Black Friday, The holidays and Any gift stay neutral, so they work for Hanukkah, New Year and everyone else on your readers' lists ✅ The ending you approve is the ending you get ✅ On every plan, October to December only. Not for you? Tick "Never ask me again" and it's gone WHY BE A BETA TESTER It goes live for everyone next week. Beta testers get it now, which means: 1️⃣ Your gift videos are posted and building views before the Black Friday rush, not during it 2️⃣ You shape the final version every customer gets. If a hook feels off for your genre, you tell me and we fix it

New: POV Videos are live (annual members first)
We've just released a brand new style of video: the POV Video. It's live right now for every annual member, and it opens to everyone else on 1 November. What it is A POV Video is your own book flip-through with a short story told in on-screen captions. It opens with a "POV:" line that drops the viewer straight into a moment from your book, the captions carry them through it, and it finishes on your call to action. No avatar and no voiceover. Just your book in your hands and a story people stop scrolling for. The video attached is one Sonder made for Last Man Out, Ron Wade's WWII memoir. Watch how the first line pulls you in before you even know what the book is. How to make one: 1. Pick the POV Video tile (it has the New badge, right after Quick Reaction Hook). 2. Choose your book. It uses the B-roll you've already uploaded for that book, so you'll need a flip-through clip of at least 18 seconds. 3. Pick 15 seconds (one moment with a twist) or 30 seconds (the full story). 4. Choose your caption language and how you want it to end. 5. Sonder writes the captions. You can read and change every line before anything is charged, and drag any line to wherever you want it on screen. 6. Hit make. It's usually ready in 7 to 15 minutes. Written for your kind of book: Sonder works out what kind of book you've written (memoir, guide, novel, fact book, journal and more) and writes the story to suit it. A memoir gets a real moment from the person who lived it. A guide puts the viewer inside the problem your book solves. What it costs Half a credit per video. When you get it - Annual members: it's in your account now. Go and make one! - Monthly members and trials: it switches on for you automatically on 1 November. Nothing to do. - Want it today? Switch to an annual plan and it unlocks within a few minutes. Make one this week and drop it in the comments. I'd love to see what yours look like.

TikTok views
Hi, looking for some help/guidance please. I have been posting for almost 3 months now, 1 post a day and have never got more than 800 views on a video. Around 80 videos posted, a mix of me talking and sonder. I was not able to get a TT shop set up, no idea why. So I am directing people to amazon. Not sure if that is why. I have also had no flow through of sales to amazon. Is it time to give up and try another book? Any advice welcome 🙏

Have you tried 95/5ing the winning script @Natalie Sanderson (800 views) to see if it gets more. Re-do that script, post on multiple platforms and just change the visuals and a few words in the script .You can build from there

@Mike Sobola That sounds more like an account issue. I would start a new one, warm it up, and post manually for a while before you post again via Sonder
Scam warning from one of my posted videos.
One of my friends clicked on my facebook video and got a warning that it could be nefarious and trying to steal their money. I've attached the warning they got. Anyone else experience this with their posts? I posted the video manually and used an Amazon Ad video.

Hi @Mike Sobola , this will be in relation to the niche of your book (and therefore video), it tends to happen when it triggers subjects such as money making, finances, health, politics etc.
