You’ve written a book, done all the hard work, proofread it half a dozen times, had it published, and now the hard work really begins!
After all, what is the point of writing and publishing a book if enough people don’t know anything about it?
Writing articles with links to your sales websites is always a good way to promote your books and your websites, but increasingly readers are looking for video.
Video can bring your book to the attention of a whole new audience, and it need not cost you a fortune.
We can produce a basic video trailer promoting you and your work for less than fifty quid. We’ll post it for you on Youtube, on the Writing Pad website, and another book trailer site such as blazingtrailers.com.
We’ll also include on the Writing Pad site immediately below the trailer a direct link to Amazon, so that potential readers can immediately switch through and buy.
If you are interested in this you will need to send us an unmarked copy of the book. We will use this to incorporate the cover and may be part of the blurbs within the trailer.
And the cost?
49.50 Pounds sterling. This is a special promotional price that we cannot guarantee for ever.
You can pay right now using almost any credit card via Google Checkout or Paypal, or if prefer you can send a cheque (UK only) or money orders, by sending to TrackerDog Media at 118 Ringwood Road, Walkford, Christchurch, Dorset BH23 5RF. Please make cheques payable to TrackerDog Media.
A: Depends on how busy we are. We will try and complete it within two weeks, but if you want a more definite delivery date, we suggest you email us first.
Q: Can I put the trailer on my own website?
A: Of course you can, and on any other website too that allows it. Our advice would be to place it wherever you possibly can. The more people that see it the better! Simply go to Youtube, copy and past the embed code, add it to your site; (and others!) and job done.
Q: What length of trailer do you do?
A: Research shows that anything over two and a half minutes is likely to have the viewer reaching for the off button. Some of the best trailers are only about a minute and half long. Sometimes less really is more. A brief taster, if you will. Mostly we do between one and a half and two and a half minutes in length.
Q: Can I include photos and other images?
A: Yes, you can, we welcome those, simply email them to us as an attachment, or post them to us if you prefer.
Q: Will a trailer really help me to sell more books?
A: Anything that promotes your book to a wider audience will help to raise its profile. No one can ever guarantee that you will sell more copies, but the trailers are picked up by the search engines, and they will bring more potential buyers to your website.
Q: Do you read and review the book too on this service?
A: No, we don’t guarantee to read the entire book here, unless it catches our eye and grabs our interest of course. If you want a written review, please see the separate book review service.
Q: Couldn’t I just do this myself?
A: Of course you could, but if you don’t have the time, or the inclination, then 49.50 is not a lot to pay for several hours work. Incidentally we have just come across one well known company offering a similar service for $1,250! We kid you not!
Q: What happens if I don’t like the trailer? Do I get my money back?
A: No sorry, we’d be disappointed if that were the case, but as we would have done the work, the payment would stand. Take a look through the other trailers posted here. They will give you a good idea as to what you might expect.
Q: Okay, I’m interested, what do I do next?
A: Simples!Pay the money; send the book, and any special instructions or ideas you may have. We will acknowledge receipt and begin work as soon as time allows.
