Christian Writing & Reading Community discussion

Has anyone here had much success marketing books with a book trailer? I would love to see some of your trailers. Here is the trailer for my latest book:

Please share your trailers.

I’m a reader not a writer, but loved the trailer. I believe trailers are a good way to promote a book. It kind of brings the book alive, in my opinion.

It won't let me click your link - it says invalid. (It might be my phone.)

I have had zero success marketing with anything, including a trailer, but I do enjoy seeing a well-made trailer!

I like your trailer a lot !!

I haven't tried one. Keep us updated if you have success with it

Grace and Peace James,

I am a creative. I use trailers and highlights for my books. Here is one for H₂O: 30 Days of Short Prayers That Speak Life:

Love the book trailer! Could you give me a contact of who you used to create it? 💯🙌

I’ve had a little success with a Book Trailer. However, it’s only one tool in a marketing campaign.
Here’s the link to my trailer:

Very good book trailer James, I really like it!

Like the Trailer for The Shepherd! Nice 👍🏻 I received it a few days ago and I believe I forgot to tell you I received it. I may have sent you a message to let you know. I can’t remember if I did 😂 but I got it and can’t wait to read!

I like this new book trailer for my newest book, A Wrong Turn Right.
I'm not sure how much they help, but as one poster commented--it is a tool in the toolbox.

Be happy to hear feedback.

My book trailer just released so I can't offer feedback yet. Yours, however, looks great James. I will plan to share what I learn as I try different ways to bring exposure to my books through the video.

Well done, trailer Karen. All the best to you in bringing exposure to your book.

I am excited about the response. I feel it is a great way to market our books and continue to pray that my writings will touch the heart of the readers. 🙏

I love the trailer, Martha.
