New Marketing Video

3/30/2018

So, I’m still a new author as of the start of 2018. So I’m trying out a variety of marketing places and techniques. I saw in some author groups some people had video previews, some simple with just a few moving parts, others more like a mini movie with music and all.

Running Into You has been out since late Jan so I figured why not I’d give it a shot. I went to my go to place Fiverr and after an hour or so researching I found someone I was willing to take a chance on. Ended up paying $25 for a 40 secs shot.

So being an artsy person myself I try not to “over give” instructions to other artist. I did give him quite a bit (he had done hundreds of promos) but his first result I was very unhappy with. I watched it 3 times before I finally said outloud “nope don’t like it” LOL I think went and found my own pics and took him frame by frame of what I wanted. He had moveing “video moving shots” in there but none of them worked.

So I decided to keep it simple with still shots and overlay of words. After 2 revisions we got it where I feel it was worth my money and conveyed what my book was about. It was cleaner and also allowed him to show the Book more and the website (he barely had them in there). I’m pleased with the end result for my first try! Each picture has something to do with a scene from the book. So if you are wondering “how” then pick up the book and read it!
