Make a Book Trailer for less than $100

[Paul]

Hi everyone, how do you make a quality book trailer on a tight budget?

Well, that's what I did for less than $100 thanks to Prezi.

I've published a post explaining how I did it here: http://www.pcrmonk.com/2013/09/26/how...

Hope it'll give you some ideas. Would be great if others could share their ideas and procedures too :)

All the best,
Paul

Nice,Paul! You go even less expensive if you use free stock photos from Morguefile,Stockvault, and publicdomainphotos.net. My trailer isn't as elaborate, but I made it for free using photos from those places, and free music from incompetech.com. I edited the photos at pixlr.com and befunky.com. Here's the outcome:

That's pretty cool, Dax, and thanks for sharing the resources, I'll be using them for a future trailer no doubt. But what editor did you use to put everything together?

[Dax]

Windows Live Movie Maker. It was fun putting it together.

Same here, definitely a fun part of self-promotion.

Nice stuff here, working on a trailer is fun even if it doesn't really help sales that much - though a good trailer sure can!

Hello everyone!

I've noticed that some of you are very interested in book trailers. I'm a video editor and an avid reader so creating book trailers are truly exciting for me.
I have been so fortunate enough to create the book trailers for the novels Concurrent Relationships and Young Only Once by Lee Debourg.
Down below is the link to both of them.

If anyone is interested in wanting a new trailer for your novel(s), I can gladly help :) I'm extremely reasonable with my pricing.
