Create and Deliver a Killer Product Demo
Have you ever thought why some product demos inspire while many others are boring and soon forgotten?
Would you like to demo like Elon Musk does and Steve Jobs did?
If you have a great product, I’ll give you three reasons why this book should be on your bookshelf:
- It’s a complete guide with practical advice on how to create and deliver a product demo
- It will bring out the best of your creative side so you will craft a unique and inspiring demo
- It shows the dissection of dozens of product demos that made history. A ton of inspiration
About Myself
I am Oscar Santolalla, a Peruvian based in Finland. I am Host and Producer of the public speaking podcast Time to Shine. I have worked in the technology arena for more than 10 years. Due to my years of experience as a Product Manager I became naturally interested in technical talks and product demos.
One day I started analyzing speeches and especially product demos that made history, such as Steve Jobs' iPhone launch and Elon Musk's Tesla Powerwall keynote. That led me to share the stories behind them and the mechanics of successful product demos. Today I am writing this book in which I offer you very practical advice, and also ignite your creative side so you will craft a unique and inspiring demo.
What You Will Get
Today I have a lot of material that I have created and this is the opportunity to put it all together in a 180-page step-by-step guide. This book is already more than 50% written, but I still plan to spend some extra time in researching, analyzing more product demos, conducting a few more interviews, and adding practical advice on the latest trends in demos.
The main costs involved in this project are:
- Professional editor fees
- Layout and design
- Printing costs
- Shipping costs
- Indiegogo and payment processing fees
In order to be on the safe side, I need at least USD 8,000 to produce and ship 250 copies of the book. I believe an updated book on product demos is long overdue and I need you to help make it happen.I am also offering high-value extra perks, such as: private workshops, coaching sessions and sponsorships.

The Impact
Very often I meet new guys working for a startup or a technology company, and they confess me that they would like to find more effective and inspiring ways to show their products. If you share this feeling, this book is for you.
"Create and Deliver a Killer Product Demo" is unique as it is focused on creating those memorable WOW moments that stick on people's minds.
The book analyzes the best of demos that made history, from Engelbart's Mother of All Demos (1968) to the contemporary demos.
Risks & Challenges
The biggest risk is that the campaign doesn't reach its goal. Rest assured that even if I don't reach the full goal, I will finish the book and I will deliver it to my backers.
Also it's possible that the feedback I receive from you brings such amazing ideas that the book will take longer to be finished. Despite of the fact that a delay is not in my plans, I am committed to deliver the very best book you can find on this topic.
Other Ways You Can Help
I'm creating this book for you. You can also help me by sending me feedback and suggestions. What would you like to see in this book?
If you like my project but the book is just not for you, you can still help by telling a colleague or a friend about this campaign. Please use the sharing buttons on this page.
