Book Trailer Tips

If you're a self-publisher (and even if you're not), you should be able to get or produce a nice book trailer. It should help bring your book alive without being too sales-oriented or pushy. Tell what you book is about and how to get it. When producing your trailer, keep in mind:

-A well-designed cover is going to be your book's best friend for marketing. Use the cover at least twice in your trailer.
-Use music that works with your book's theme. If you wrote a how-to on saving money, don't use disco or hard rock. Use something for the audience you're producing for.
-If you don't know how to make a trailer, find someone who can or use a simple service like Animoto.
-Don't have ads or announcements on your trailer. It should do nothing but promote and tell about your book.
-Keep it short--under a couple of minutes. Unless you're really imparting a lot of information, it shouldn't take long to watch.
-Use photos whereever possible. Video is a visual medium. People don't want to do a lot of reading.
-Get reviews and testimonials to help promote your book in your trailer.

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...

Are Ezines Dead? No! Easy Ezine Marketing

SEWING A FRIENDSHIP http://natalietinti.com/   Marketing Tips: One Way to Give Yourself a Break! As a busy entrepreneur one thing is certain: You're busy, you're stressed and you're sometimes overwhelmed.

Yet you want to keep in touch with your customers and cannot afford not to write one. Writing an ezine that not only gets opened but read and even passed on to others isn’t always easy. It can be frustrating to set good goals only to not be able to carry them out due to time-constraints and good old fashioned writer’s block. Yet getting the time to put one together can be daunting. Tips to the rescue! Think about it…when was the last time you sat and read every word of a long email or ezine? You probably skimmed it for key points and got what you could out of it without actually reading every perfectly-chosen word. Who has the time? Ev...
