I think I'd like making them, but just for myslef and perhaps it would help me distill the story essence in to 90 exciting seconds. Certainly something to think about.

Perhaps it is if you're a big name writer like Nora, but then you wouldn't need them. Your numbers sound much like mine for blogging, some hit, some don't. If you enjoy it, do it!Sandy L.

Although Trailers may not be viewed as much as we like, they're a blast to make them so hopefully in the long run they'll draw readers in.<br /><br />Joan, great trailer it is way fun. You know I really like Stouffer's Garden Lasagne. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

My most recent -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y415Y-EqcUg -- has been up a week and has had over 100 views. I think it's doing so well because it's HOW TO RECOGNIZE AN AUTHOR. A lot of writers respond to the humor of it. <br /><br />I think book trailers and related videos are just another part of marketing/promotion that MAY help with branding which, hopefully, will result eventually in increased sales. I don't think anyone can definitively say that book trailers will increase sales any more than one can say handing out bookmarks increases sales.<br /><br />But, I'll keep producing them simply because it's so much fun!Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30133267.post-53104773369829567772013-04-29T09:41:19.031-06:002013-04-29T09:41:19.031-06:00Glad to hear an honest experience about these.

I actually have fun picking out the music and choosing the right pics. So I'm probably making my videos for me. lol <br /><br />But I also think this is just another promotional tool. So even if it makes readers want to at least check me out, that's fine with me. <br /><br />I don't have high views on my stories, either. Two of my books are much higher than the rest and I don't know why. lol But that doesn't mean they are my best sellers, because until I updated my book covers, those two books weren't selling well at all - yet the views on youtube were high. Go figure...<br /><br />Long story short, I think it's just another way to get our names out there.Marie Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798408733684974308noreply@blogger.com
