Recently, our RJ Crayton schooled us on how to make a video trailer for free using YouTube’s video editor. Check that out, then come back here and post a link to ONE of your video trailers below so we can show it some love!
This is how it works: If you are an author, in the comments below, paste in the link for your YouTube book trailer video. (ONE trailer per person, please!) Make sure you show some love to the links in the comments above yours, and check back throughout the day to catch up.
This should be fun and should generate a lot of likes, follows, etc. for everyone who plays. Iβll kick things off with ours: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxpeL2u7FIk. (Okay, so that’s not a book trailer, but it’s pretty cool anyway!) Now letβs get the party started!
Don’t sweat it if your trailer embeds. We’ll fix it.
PLEASE be sure to reciprocate by liking those who like you. This is give and take. If everyone plays by the golden rule, we all benefit.
Here’s mine for Queen’s Gold, an action/adventure:

Already liked this some time ago. Great trailer.
Thanks!
Gorgeous!!
Love the music! Great trailer…added it to Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon on Book Trailers!
Way cool, Melissa! This pulls me into your book.
Melissa, like your trailer a lot. Your story has some elements that are similar to mine. Similar but different. Intriguing. Hope your sales are going well.
I believe in past lives, but after watching this trailer, I hope I never discover that I buried treasure in the distant past. This ought to draw people to the book!
Nicely done!! Great music and pics.

Thrilling and spooky
Thrilling and spooky is great! Love this, Vicki!
Thank you all for giving my video trailer a look and a listen. Greatly appreciated. VLZ
Great spooky music and super trailer!! Added to Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon under book trailers!
What if the trailer made me too scared to read the book?
It’s more than spooky.
Lol then I guess you will just have to get the book or the audio version to see. But I thank you for your input.
Oh, wow! I love the photography! Yup, spooky. And urgent.
Got everyone up to here.
Looking forward to seeing some great trailers! π

Great trailer! Had already liked it but subscribed to your channel and added to Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon on Book Trailers!
Thank you very much, Patrick! π

Great instructional video! Bonsai plants are great! Well done! Added to Pinterest at http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon on Book Trailers!
Thank you Patrick.

Really interesting. Fascinating how you make it look so easy.
It is easy. My book gives step by step instructions.
If I can grow kumquats in my house in North Georgia, I need that book. Hard to find them here.
(Ex Florida resident.)
You should be able to find them in large well-stocked garden centers. I can find them here in Colorado. Then there is always online …
Calamondin oranges are easier to find and easier to grow than Kumquats.
Great videos everyone π

None of the curses rub off on the readers, I hope.
Here’s mine:

Great trailer and the music is just right! Pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon on Book Trailers! (I think I may have pinned it twice…will fix in a bit!)
Thanks, Patrick!
This trailer makes me want to see what happens next. Great job!
Thanks so much, Blaze! It was a lot of fun to make. π
Looks like your protagonist has a very tough row to hoe. Of course, that’s one thing readers like.
Here’s mine (a bit old now – I haven’t got round to doing one for the latest book!) Now going back up to check those above me!

Perfect music with African and adventure mood! Pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon on Book Trailers!
Nicely done! Love the sense of doom and conflict.
Suspenseful in every sense! Great trailer!
See, here’s the thing. I’m sitting here minding my own business with a nice glass of red wine and your trailer shows up and tempts me to read the book.
I’ve been hypnotized.
Here is my trailer. It my first attempt at anything like this. I appreciate feedback!

It came out well, I think.
Here’s mine. I have Beverly Cialone do mine because I’m such a tech kltz.

Thank you, Blaze! π
Love the changes in music and Moonlight Sonata is great! Pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon under Book Trailers!
Awesome! SO glad you liked it! π
Wow! I really like the sudden, drastic, and dramatic change in tone and imagery! Great job! π
Okay, so here’s another trailer that’s making me re-think retreating to a cabin in the woods. Do I dare read the book?
Here’s mine for THE EARTHQUAKE DOLL. I made it using Mac’s iMovie.
Would appreciate some “Likes,” and will reciprocate! π

Perfect music and trailer! Pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon under Book Trailers! Well done!!
Thanks, Patrick – that’s a great idea! I’m going to copycat and make a Pinterest board for trailers, too.
I really like the use of the period photographs in this trailer.
Yes, it’s tempting me to read more.
Thanks, Malcolm! It was a such a joy to find pix from the time period I needed!
I have your trailer (and everyone else’s) on my new Pinterest board for Book Trailers, an idea I swiped from Patrick Jones! You can see it here:

Caught up to here. It’s fantastic to see so many good trailers, people!

Very suspenseful music! Great trailer and pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon under Book Trailers!!
Thank you. Of course, I couldn’t personally create a trailer if the fate of the world hung in the balance. That’s where my talented publish comes in to save the say.

Great native American music to go with the pictures and story. Well done! Pinned to http://www.pinterest.com/thewolfsmoon under Book Trailers!!
This trailer really works. Music + pictures.
Here’s mine for The Wolf’s Moon by Patrick Jones. Will go back and like everyone! Thanks!

I’ve seen this one before but good to watch again. π
Truth be told, I was tempted to go find this book even before seeing the picture of the nurse. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Caught up to here. Keep ’em coming. π
Liked up to here, but some I had already gotten from a while back. π
Okay, I have a trailer to share for the soon-to-be-released five-part story, The Year of the Red Door:

Thanks to everyone!
