Did this on iMovie today. I’d never used iMovie before, but it was fun to play with. Just took a couple of hours, two cans of diet pop and half a bag of salt and vinegar chips…well, those last items might not have been altogether necessary. Books, book trailers, the Self-help for Stoners podcast on iTunes…I’m multimedia now!
Will a book trailer make a difference in sales? Doubtful, from what I’ve researched, but it might draw more attention to my blog and author profile on Goodreads and that’s why I did it. The exposure on YouTube might not hurt, either. I’m sure I’ll do something more elaborate (but just as short) in the future and make each trailer book-specific. For now? This makes me happy.

Cute. I’ve not tried iMovie yet. I might check it out. 🙂 All this time, I thought your books were non-ficiton.
Hey! I went into shock at your comment (as reflected in the next post if anyone got down that far!) Glad you liked it. iMovie is incredibly easy considering I wandered into it having never played with it at all.
