Looking for an Effective Way to Promote Your Book?
Free Book Marketing Trailer Quote Request
Book Preview Videos, also known as book trailers, are fast becoming the go-to strategy for promoting fiction and nonfiction works alike.If you're an author looking for an innovative and effective way to market & promote your new book, a trailer style video may be the way to go.
If a picture's worth a thousand words, then a video trailer may be worth hundreds of thousands of words. What better way to draw in the short attention spans of today's readers than with a targeted and concise message about your book? Or, for novel works of fiction, a dramatization of the book's premise?
If you opt for this promotional strategy, then I hope you allow me the opportunity to quote your trailer. Not only will you get the benefit of my production skills, but also the benefit of my marketing ability, as I am also a certified Google AdWords Professional and have learned the ins and outs of Web Marketing over the past five years. What does this have to do with making effective book trailers? Well, you'll note above that I suggested using a dramatization of the book's premise in order to promote a novel. A common mistake with book trailers for novels is they follow the novel's plot line. (Watch some book trailers on YouTube and you'll see this). This is a huge mistake as it gives too much away. It also bores the viewer because covering the plot line of a 300 page novel in a one minute trailer can only be done in the most skeletal of manners.
It's much more effective from a marketing standpoint to present an enticing premise and gracefully fade to black. That's just one example of the marketing expertise I bring to book trailers.
