Book Trailers: Does My Book Need One?

     A "Book Trailer" is generally a visual representation of a book.  The book trailer is what a movie trailer represents in a movie theater.  It is designed to make a reader interested in reading a book.  So does your book need a book trailer?  Here is a video discussing this topic below:



          So do you need a book trailer for your book?  I would have to agree with the video somewhat.  A Book Trailer is a good marketing tool, but only if you already have a large audience of readers.  Personally, only one of my books has a book trailer, (you can view it here), although I have considered doing them for all of my books because I feel it will offer my books another backlink for the search engine to grab onto.  

     I think the biggest question if you are considering creating a book trailer for your book is the PRICE!  Some book trailers can cost several hundred dollars and more. You could actually consider making one yourself for free by using a website called adobe spark at: https://spark.adobe.com  (See my personal instructional videos (Parts 1-3) below that I created myself showing you how you can do this).







     So whether you decide to create a book trailer or not for your book or books just know that it can be a great way to introduce your book to a potential reader.  They say that people are more visual then they 've ever been, and I would have to agree when you consider how popular websites like Pinterest and Instagram are in the area of photos.

     As stated in Part 3 of "How to Create a Book Trailer for Free, if you want a book trailer for your book but you don't really want to do this yourself and you don't mind spending some money to have one done,  then Fiverr.com might just be a good way to get one done for lesser money than you might think.

     In my next blog article, I am going to discuss how an author never should compare their journey to publishing with another author's journey, and how detrimental this can be to you if you do.

     So stay tuned!
