Do you have any idea why you got 3,000 hits with one trailer and not with the other? It's so hard to know what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I think I get more hits because it's a slow news day! lol. Seriously, need to know why something works, even if I'm just guessing. I have a trailer I'm waiting for my nephew to put the music on. I like trailers. Short is good. They give the reader something else to look at if you keep them on your blog or website. Did you get all those hits on youtube, Alex?

Wow, I have NO idea how to do anything on Youtube. Another avenue to explore, learn and conquer. Yipes! First I have to get my trailer finished. It's done except for music. My son helped with the video. I think it looks pretty good, but music will make it.
I'm impressed you've done all that. How brilliant to link to Stephen King and Grey's. You're made to market...after writing, of course.

How did you drive people to your trailer? That's the piece i can't figure out?


That sounds like a great idea. We call that branding in advertising. People get to know you, read your works and become fans. Then they want to read anything you write. I think that is how the biggest authors got there.

That's really smart. You'll see you will get followers who will read everything you write. Brilliant way to go, Alex.

I worked in broadcast media advertising straight out of college and so I try to pull out all the stops to promote, promote, promote!

Thanks!
