<p>One thing to keep in mind, is that the idea isn't that people see your trailer and rush out to buy your book.</p>
<p>The win for a book video is that they come to your page. That's what these things are, bait to get people to come to your page, maybe be interesting enough people mail them around and get more eyeballs.</p>
<p>Another thing is, they aren't book reports. I see SO many trying to tell the whole plot. Why? </p>

Miriam, you don't need a webcam. You can make a simple trailer like mine with Windows Live Movie Maker, free to download.<br />

And it's a lot of fun.

To me, this is new territory. I've never made a trailer and am still very hesitant about how I might go about doing something like making a youtube video when my lap top does not have a built in web cam, but I feel I am getting closer to knowing...this is good preparatory material.<br />
<br />
I have a book out there, but have yet to figure out to get it to reach that 'tipping point' so that people start buying it. At the same time I am also submitting it to traditional publishers hoping to help it to get…

Lee, I'm sure that's true. One of the things I'm enjoying as I sell ebooks, is the enthusiasm of ordinary people who've read and liked <i>Remix</i>. Fellow writers tend to read with their writers' hats on (which can be useful - they may tell one how to fix any problem they notice) and perhaps the same is true of writers watching book trailers.<br />
<br />
I confess, I'm a little surprised at how few people actually look at the trailers here, though they seem happy enough to discuss them.

I'm a little late in this discussion. My take is that when placing trailers on sites such as Crimespace and Murderati, you're playing to an audience of experts, critics, writers, and the like. We tend to be more critical. The general public, on the other hand, is not reading trailers on these sites but on social media sites. Try sites geared toward the average reader, not writer. They are likely to be more responsive. It's sort of like going to a showcase of bands. The agents are backstage all…

They are likely to be more responsive. It's sort of like going to a showcase of bands. The agents are backstage all jaded and disconnected but the key is to watch the audience reactions, the audience of average club goers. They are the ones who buy the tickets, not the agents. Hoorah!
