You Have a Book Trailer. Now What?
IN THE NEWS: Frail boy-king Tut died from malaria, broken leg. Read more HERE.
Happy Monday!
You're probably all wondering--(or maybe not)--after my previous posts on "Why do a book trailer" and "How to do a book trailer", "Now what do I do with my book trailer?"
First and foremost, you tell your mom. (Unless your mom is like my mom and has dial-up internet connection, because then it'll take forever for her to see the video)
Then all your friends.
Some co-workers, neighbors, your enemies--basically, anyone who'll listen. :)
But if you don't have anyone's ear at the moment of unveiling,
you can upload online to these places:
your Facebook page
your Web site
your Blog
Create an author page on Amazon and upload it there.
YouTube.
Yahoo Video
Google Video
Link to it on AuthorsDen.com
mySpaceTV
The Romance Studio (must be a member)
Manic Readers (create an author page and put it there)
Announce it on any writer's forums you belong to, too. If someone is excited about their video and announces it for me to watch, I WILL check it out. (But maybe that's just me) :)
There are a few other places to put your trailer, too. All the ones listed below are free.
Trailer Spy
Book Trailers.net
Daily Motion
New Covey Trailer Awards
Backspace the Writer's Place
Whew!
Have you used any of those sites for your book trailer?
Did I miss a site?

WOW. I need to remember you when my time comes to do one:) Thanks--going to send this link over to a friend you just did one:)
That's a whole lotta wow! I can't imagine how long it took you to link to all of those :O)
Great info! I'm bookmarking it for the future.
Thanks, Jennifer! I just printed this and filed it with my marketing info for the future.
Wow, girl! My two trailers aren't at half these places.
Sigh. It's Monday, and I'd better get busy, huh?

You've inspired me so much with this I think I'll have to throw your name in the credits. I completed one last week and plan to introduce it first on my blog in several weeks and go from there.
It was so much fun to do and I'm happy with it. Thanks for all of your links! They helped.

This is such an informative series, Jennifer. I've saved the links for future reference, thanks!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Great info. Someday when I need a book trailer, this will come in handy. Need to finish the book first:) Getting there! Thanks again.
Whew! Great info! Thanks so much. =)
Great info. You should put some of these helpful posts on your sidebar. :)
I will definitely keep this in mind when I'm finished with my WIP.
Good idea, Laura! I just did that!
I have to catch up on these book trailer posts, it sounds like you shared some gems!
Ditto the first post!! When I make a trailer I'll have to pick your brain again for promo details! :)
Oh gosh, I need to archive this post somehow. Thank you!
I worked on my book trailer this weekend, just for fun. I haven't even written the book yet. LOL. I'm a little backwards. But it was fun!!
This is a great list, Jennifer. Thanks! I'm bookmarking it.
