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, 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.

Ditto the first post!! When I make a trailer I'll have to pick your brain again for promo details! :)

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!!
