Video of real person on my store - How to?

Hey there,

I'd like to show a video of a real person to my visitors. The goal is to create empathy with them.

Problem: I'm not comfortable recording myself.

Question: where can I find someone who does it for me?
I would send a script and expect a 30 seconds video in return.

Thanks!

    Baptiste, offer skill exchange. Ask someone here to record a video for you in exchange for your skills/help/product

      That's a cool idea!

      Love the idea! Thanks @CrowdProducers
      Any website that proposes that?

        Message some video creators randomly on IH / Instagram / Twitter?

        Baptiste, that is actually the idea I am working on at the moment: https://barter.monster/
        You can pre-register on the website to be a beta-user. But I am not even near my product launch as this is an ideation stage and I am looking for a programmer to partner. Good luck with your skills exchange and your project :-)

          Nice! I'll take a look very soon! Good luck :)

    If you don't have a friend/family member who'd do it for free, you can check out: https://www.fiverr.com/, https://www.upwork.com/ or https://www.freelancer.com/ to hire someone.

      I actually checked on Fiverr and Upwork but it is at least $200 for a short video. Unfortunately it is too expensive for my budget.
      I'll check on freelancer.com though! Thanks!

    What kind of video are you looking for? Just someone in front of their webcam talking?

      That's correct. A video of a normal person talking fluently and presenting my products + the story of my brand.

        I recently stumbled across www.cameo.com where you can pay celebrities and "celebrities" to make short custom-made videos for you. Maybe you can find a minor Instagram personality who will record your video for $40. Or you can randomly message some on Instagram. Maybe that will get you higher quality.

          Cool tip! Thanks!
          I knew Cameo but thought it was only for super famous celebrities, so prices would be out of my budget.

            Glad to help. If you give it a shot, please let me know how it goes. I'm curious. :)
