Book Trailers - Key's To Success

Book Trailers: The Key to Successful Video Marketing

Here is a article that I came across written by Sarah Weinman, the practical writer about the power of using book trailers. As many of you know the book trailer craze has exploded with both authors and publishers using book trailers to promote and market books just as the motion picture industry has used movie trailers to real in ticket purchases.

But none of these Internet marketing approaches reflects the publishing industry's struggle to convert the latest technology into increased book sales as forcefully as video content—specifically the book trailer, an idea that's turned into explosive reality thanks to broadband Internet connections, the astounding success of YouTube as a distribution channel, and the almost desperate need to capture the attention of a younger generation that is allegedly reading far less than the previous one.
