Self-publishing book marketing enters the 21st century

August 11, 2008

Cutting-edge authors are using online video marketing to promote their books. Imagine a movie trailer for your book. It’s cool, it’s hip, it’s NOW!

 

  • Music, text, video – book videos can do it all
  • Optimal length is approximately 1 minute for online video sharing
  • Authors receive the 6mb video file via email
  • Imagine having a Book Video to use however you want for marketing purposes

Outskirts Press published authors who order the Book Video from their secure Marketing Options page receive all this and more.  Outskirts Press will even kick-start online viral marketing campaigns by uploading your approved video to popular social networking websites, including:

  • YouTube
  • Google Video

  • MySpace
  • Daily Motion
  • Revver
  • LiveVideo
  • Metacafe
  • and more

 

EXTRA BONUS!

With Outskirts Press, the final book video trailer is also added automatically to your Outskirts Press author webpage!

See what authors have to say about the book video

“Wow! We’ve been amazed at the response to the video trailer for Writing as a Small Business. Barely 48 hours and we’ve had nearly 200 views at the different sights. Personal e-mails are overwhelmingly positive, “Slick,” “Right on Target,” “Very Professional,” “Fantastic,” and “Best I’ve seen.”

The editing process was excellent, the staff followed our suggestions and went a step further. Thank you and your staff for developing this vital marketing tool for your authors. As Writing as a Small Business stresses a web presence is vital and the wave of the future for marketing and selling books. You all proved it.” – Nash Black

“When I first viewed the video, I didn’t know what to expect. Then, WOW! You and your staff did a spectacular job with both the video and audio! I wrote and produced TV commercials for years and even won a CLIO, and I’m very impressed with your production! The quality of your work is impressive. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job for me!” - David Brookover
