I loved the ideas here – but of course, I’m lovin’ the whole series here!

As a reader – I freakin love book trailers! Often, they are what drags me in to read an otherwise ignored e book!

I have made two music videos using Windows movie maker (and plan to do my own book trailers when the time comes.) If I can make a YouTube video (as I have the computer skills of a nit) – then anyone can make a book trailer!

My two videos – done in 2007 and 2008 – are based on the gay super soap couple, Luke and Noah on As The World Turns.

(Note – It was because of these characters that I started writing again. I produced 4 novel lengnth fan fic works before finally getting serious about being a writer.) Both the fanfic and the videos were very well recieved by the fans.

The first one is about Noah’s homophobic father.

The second one was celebrating the fact that a ‘on the air’ kissing ban against the guys was finally over after 200 some odd days.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting Adele! You’re already an ace:) You posted your website url and the url of where to buy the book. P.S. Loved the Romance in the Backseat project very clever.

Thanks for the terrific article, Koko. You’ve got lots of insight to share.

I taught myself to make my own book videos and upload them to You Tube. I need to learn to increase visibility.

If you use the key words Adele Dubois, the videos will appear in the search. LMK what you think.

Best–Adele

Thanks for stopping by ladies!

And great job on your videos as well. And good points as well. Yes, I’ve heard that videos should be a minute or less and that they’re easy to do. I haven’t attempted a book trailer yet. I think I would agonize over just the right picture and you all chose really great ones.

I maintain a YouTube channel for my job. And it amazes me what goes viral and what doesn’t. We’re hoping our channel will take off soon. We’re about to launch a video sharing campaign where the community submits their favorite things to do/eat/etc. in the local area.

Again, thanks for stopping by.

P.S I rated your videos for you;p

Cool post, Koko! I enjoy making trailers for my book. It’s fairly easy using Windows Movie Maker.

WOW! Great info especially about the title-I just naturally stuck with the book’s name. Another thing I’ve heard is keep them to 1 minute or less. Bekkilyn sure did a catchy job in 30 seconds…I’m off to give that a try.

Great post KoKo.
