Most of them are cheesy, at best. Thanks for the comment, Alana.

Youtube is just one of those places the video is uploaded to. Youtube isn't just about funny videos, or how to videos. More and more people are starting youtube channels for more exposure. One of the benefits of having a book trailer is that it can live on your site. That video can be exactly what entices them to purchase your book when done correctly. I created two videos for my soon to be released book. One was a quick (that's key) video mentioning the book. The second was the book trailer. They are both on my site and I put that video up on my Amazon author page. Maybe I should do a post on tips for creating a book trailer.Toni Nelsonhttp://toninelsonmeansbusiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-27428423917211205732013-03-06T21:17:01.511-05:002013-03-06T21:17:01.511-05:00What You Tube has shown me is that it is difficult...What You Tube has shown me is that it is difficult to shoot good videos without training. It is not a do-it-yourself project, unless you want your video to induce vertigo in your audience. I rarely watch self-made videos on blogs. Book trailers? Hardly ever watch. Incidentally, I find many of the books I read by going to my local library (an easy walk from where I work, fortunately) and browsing the "new to our collections" shelf.
