Absolutely Eileen!  There are so many opportunities now for writers to really get their stories out there.

  I liked your trailer.

It's a story I'm very familiar with coming from the working class suburbs of SoCal.  We're known for producing bikers and meth.   Good luck with all that you do, Eileen and keep me posted!

It doesn't offend me, as such, Jeanette, and I thank you for explaining it. I just wanted to point out the effect the popups may have on your potential readership. I'm not against cross-advertising.  I've been known to swap favours such as offering authors the chance to advertise their books in the back of my paperback in exchange for their skills.   With technology so rapidly progressing it's a necessity for writers to explore all opportunities that present themselves.

I'm sorry it offends you, Eileen.  It's a monetized video on YouTube.  I'm in a partnership with them and we "share" media.  I compose music for others to use on their videos and in return, they place ads.  I don't know, I was flattered I had something to offer.

I've never noticed any pop-ups on my video trailer.  I was wondering if this was something one could opt into, like the Kindles one can buy cheaper if one lets Amazon place ads on it ????  It's not something I'd like. I consider my trailer an advertisement for my book--I don't want others using the media I paid good money for to advertise THEIR products/services.

It's a YouTube video.  They do that sometimes, Eileen.

I got a couple of pop-up ads during the trailer. Was I suppose to? Found them quite distracting.

A pro. It is pretty cool, isn't it? There are two videos and an album that go with my book so it all ties together.

Excellent trailer.  Did you do it or did a pro?

Thanks Mark! You made my day!

An interesting trailer that certainly whets the appetite for potential buyers of the book - good luck with the launch!
