Book Trailer Marketing & Promotions

Does a book trailer have to cost a arm and a leg? We can create those too, however and for the frual author looking to promote and market their book using the power of a book trailer, we can help put you on the map less all the hype and high cost.




Book Trailers are a great way to promote and market books. They can be displayed on author web sites, blogs, in networks, communities, social communities and wherever video’s can be hosted at or displayed at. You Tube is a perfect example of the video craze with millions of videos and daily users.

For years the motion picture industry has used movie trailers to advertise movies to movie lovers. Today, authors and publishers have found the power of marketing authors and books through book trailers.

Our graphic arts department can create a custom book trailer that showcases your book and you as author. We have various packages from the simple, yet affective book trailers, to the extravagant and expensive book trailers.

For The Frugal Author, Writer

I admire those authors and writers that are on a budget trying to ring out all the free advertising and marketing out there. I know some authors who have built major online presences, link expansions and that have created quite a following. Of course they have lots of time on their hands and can dedicate a not less than full time stab at it in the beginning and then also in maintaining all that they have accomplished. For the frugal author, here are some tips.

1) Remember, your authors site or authors page is #1 as a priority. Put all your energy into creating and building a working site and then start marketing that site.

2) Advertise and market both your book and your authors site at other sites, in communities, in networks, in groups and where ever they allow you to add content and links.

3) Do not focus all your efforts building links at other author related sites. Authors write books and make up for a very small percentage of book sales.

4) Google your name as author, the title of your book and your authors web site, blog or page address as you are doing the above (weekly) to see how your online presence is growing.

Amazon and Blogger Making Your Blogging Life Easier

Amazon and Google put their giant heads together to help you blog more professionally and make some money for you, too.

I reported on this Blogger benefit in my Sharing with Writers newsletter before, but this message came directly from Blogger and I wanted you to see it. So, in effect, Blogger is my guest blogger today:


Do you link to Amazon.com in your blog posts? If so, a recent Blogger integration (http://buzz.blogger.com/2009/12/blogger-integrates-with-amazon.html) may be just the thing for you. Blogger now integrates directly with Amazon Associates (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/landing/main.html), giving you the ability to search the entire Amazon.com product catalog without ever leaving the Blogger post editor. Writing a review of Avatar and want to point your readers to the DVD that just came out? Not only can you link to the DVD, you can also include the cover art and buy it now info from Amazon so your readers know how much it costs without ever leaving your site.

You might even make some money in the process! Amazon pays an advertising fee to a Blogger user who is a participant in Amazon's Associates Program* and whose visitors buy products linked from their blog. Sign up is simple - just click on the "Monetize" tab in Blogger, then click on "Amazon Associates" to get started. Once enabled, you will see a new Amazon gadget next to the familiar Blogger post editor:

Whether you want to make some extra money, or you just want to add some pizzazz to your blog posts, the Amazon Associates integration is a great way to add color to any blog post about books, movies, electronics, music or any other product sold at Amazon.com.

More details at Blogger Buzz (http://buzz.blogger.com/2009/12/blogger-integrates-with-amazon.html ), or just click Monetize in your blog's dashboard to get started.

Thanks for using Blogger!
