Do Book Trailers Work?
- Rating: No Rating
I would love to know what women readers think. I just shot this trailer for a novel. Does it make you want to read the book? Thanks! Social Lives Trailer

Hi Wendy! Most trailers won't get readers to buy/read a book, but a good one will pique curiosity and get them to look into it further. That's important, too! But a bad trailer will definitely turn readers off...
That said, I think you did a great job with this trailer!

I'm not a fan of trailers, but this one was very good. It was short and that's a big thing. I won't watch anything more than 45 seconds. I have to say it made me curious about the book. I mean curious enough to want to find out more and that's the goal. Good luck with the book.

I think that all advertisements, if done well can work. The ultimate goal is to pique the readers interest in the book and this trailer definitely does that. I enjoyed it.

Dear Wendy, I think your trailer is great. It made me very interested in your book. I say "Yes" to good trailers. I did one for my book, The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything). Check it out on the front page of www.enchantedself.com.

Our book trailer operates more like a micro-film; we hired a production company to do it. While it is very difficult for a book trailer that does not have unique elements to go viral (humor, singing, zombies), ours got us into a Huffington Post article that cited examples of five good book trailers - you can check out the article here:
