That's not to say that it can't. But as I have said, there is no guarantee a trailer will help you sell books.

Do you guys know any book trailer videos that have gone viral from a midlister or new author and resulted in that kind of status? I'd love to read more about how it got started, passed around, etc.<br /><br />I've had an idea for a trailer for a year now, but I hadn't really seen them used by authors in any meaningful way. So, thanks for posting these. I hope they help you in sales and attracting readers.Rex Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110714906372459985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-42041442349287045262011-03-08T12:17:14.000-08:002011-03-08T12:17:14.000-08:00Thanks for the compliments on my trailers.

They can be a great tool but they are not a guarantee. I personally like having them.

It's always good to have one though, and pull all those marketing strings.<br />Congrats for your trailers, Katie!<br />StephStefanie J Pristavuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445250707790220690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919894200039153342.post-72261768593030203142011-03-08T01:47:11.649-08:002011-03-08T01:47:11.649-08:00I keep on thinking I should take a stab at making ...I keep on thinking I should take a stab at making one.
