Tips for Self Promotion, Sales, and Advertising discussion

Hi There,

A newbie in the group.:-) I’ve made two book trailers, one for my new novel, The Long March Home, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwVp-p... the other for my short story collection, Butterfly Tears, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpqntS....

Could you offer your feedback so that I can creat a better one next time?

Thanks,
Zoë

Hi everyone,

I'm new here too. There's some wonderful information on these boards about what to actually do with your book trailer once you've produced it.

Here's me throwing my hat into the ring. I'm happy with how this trailer turned out, but I'd love to know what you think. I filmed it here in Australia and on location in Thailand, whilst holidaying.

Hey all! Here's the trailer for my YA paranormal romance Glimpse, inspired by Alfred Noyes' poem 'The Highwayman'. Love to hear your thoughts!

That is an impressive marketing video. Is Youtube working for you? Who did the video and voiceover? Cost?

Thanks, Michael! Most of the traffic is coming from other websites rather than YouTube itself, from what I can tell so far. My partner made the video for me. He found a voiceover artist online who fit the role - her name's in the credits. Total cost for the trailer was surprisingly cheap, but I'm lucky in that I didn't need to hire a professional for video editing.

Very well done, if you felt YouTube was producing meaningful sales I would be interested in doing something similar. BTW, couldn't find your book on Amazon was curious why?

Thanks! The book's being published in the UK - it's only on the Amazon.co.uk site at the moment.

Dear Ones,

I wish I could say something inspiring, something funny, something that will touch your heart.

But my character, Dora in When Dreams are Calling is doing all this for me.
So, let's follow Dora, the happiness hunter, the dream chaser, this witty young lady whose only constant is change.

Here are the two book trailers for the book:

I have recently made several book trailers for my books and even used my music for a couple of them. Making book trailers is even more fun than writing for me :)
I wonder what, you guys, think of them

Kendra, your trailer is superb , it should be shown in the cinemas :)

Thanks so much, Grigory! I watched your three trailers and they're great - very clean-looking and to-the-point. Love your book cover too.

Oh thank you, Kendra. You are too kind. I hope your book is doing well. And will dazzle us soon with a new trailer :)

Great trailer! It made me want to read the book.

I posted my trailer in another thread, hopefully doing so here isn't too gauche. But seriously, please take a look and tell me what you think, I would appreciate it.

I would appreciate if you could give me some feedback - I'd like to know if you like it, if you can get a feeling for the story, if you love the mood and tone etc. Also I'd love to know if you think this kind of visual promotion works, and if it attracts readers (and not just viewers).

Have a wonderful day,
