In reply to Sheila S. Sheila, a foreword needs to be longer than two sentences. It would be more appropriate to use the comment as a cover blurb. Also, you'd need to ask Cameo what they allow recipients to do with the messages. Sandy

Hey there!
I’m interested in the latest take on this. I just acquired a fabulous blurb from my Cameo talent. I specifically mentioned that I wanted a blurb or shout out about how my book will influence the readers.
She accepted the request and came through with a great line or two.
Can I use a quote she said in the video, as a foreword in my book?

Clearly personalities may be willing to negotiate. I am reporting to you what I was told directly by the Cameo team this week regarding business endorsements. If you look at Brett Favre – the rate is $500 for personal endorsement and $5000 for a business one. To see their business rate, if they have one – you have to click BOOK, and then it asks what you want to book them for – if they offer a business endorsement- there is an option to select “business/brand’, which will then show you the biz rate!

Thanks, Jane. What’s really interesting about this is that for the video I saw, the author paid the celebrity half of what he’s charging now at what is listed now as his personal rate, not a promotional rate.

Good advice Sandra, an endorsee is most valuable when they are a match for your brand/audience.
As for Cameo, only select personalities offer business endorsements such as a book or product endorsement, and those are at a higher fee. All are available for personal messages such as happy birthday, happy anniversary…
