WHY HAVE A BOOK TRAILER?
Most of you know me as one of the editors of Long Story Short, the ezine for writers. That's only part of what I do with and for writers. I also edit/proofread fiction and non-fiction; I promote books by helping authors as a virtual assistant arranging blog tours, radio interviews, social networking and just about anything you may need to promote your book. AND I CREATE BOOK TRAILERS!
Research shows that the more visual the input becomes, the more likely it is to be recognized and recalled. The phenomenon is so pervasive, it has been given its own name: the pictorial superiority effect, or PSE.
Here's a video I did for author Cal Orey's new book, The Healing Powers of Honey -
Not to be outdone by YouTube, most of the major search engines now allow uploading videos directly into their system. AOL, Yahoo and Google are only three of which have video sites. Most of the hugely popular social media networks such as MySpace, Facebook and even Twitter have a feature that lets you upload videos to their sites. By submitting the videos to other social bookmarking sites such a Digg or Stumbleupon, the videos reach another vast audience in a way the written word could never do. Get in on the video marketing boom and you'll increase your book sales with the use of a brand new tool!
Remember, the success of your book is highly dependent upon your ability to market. A popular way to reach your chosen audience is to have a book trailer.
Here's a fun Halloween video I created - you horror writers could use one of these!
SPECIAL OFFER!
For the month of October, I am offering you a discount of 20% on trailers over one minute in length. Not only will I give your trailer that "awesome" factor, but I will add original instrumental music for that special touch. Whether the genre is: action, adventure, crime, detective, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction, western, inspirational, self-help, memoir, thriller, Christian or poetry, I can deliver what you need. Please contact me by email or visit my website
