Example:
Create one trailer for the introduction of your eBook and then release a series of additional trailers over the period of a month in the lead up to the publishing and launch of your eBook. This series will lead to building anticipation and excitement for the viewer that they will want to buy your eBook to find out what happens after being pulled in with a series of “teaser” videos.
You will want to submit your video to several top video sites. Hopefully, your video will become viral and people will spread your video across the internet and do the work for you.
