We have gone into depth about how to create your eBook trailers, now we have compiled a list of all the places you should consider posting your trailer to. Many of these sites contain multiple categories to attract a greater audience. It is in your best interest to do some research to find sites that are specific for your niche topic.
For example, if you have a trailer for an eBook on tennis training, then you will want to check out www.globaltenniscoaching.com.
It will be up to you to do your own research in knowing your target market and where they gather or congregate. Once you know this then you can go to that place or site and promote directly to your ideal customer.
Many blogs now have the capacity to embed videos from YouTube. Connect with blog writers associated with your niche topic and set-up a joint venture with them. Ask them to post your trailer on their site in return for some cross-promotion or commission on any books sold via links from their blog.
