The publishing industry can get its hopes up thanks to the online marketing of books through video launched by Circle of Seven Productions, U.S. leader book trailer. Circle of Seven Productions has been trying to find opportunities of online distribution of book videos, including YouTube and MySpace, ever since it has created the book trailer market in 2002.
It's amazing to see how this industry has developed. In addition to having the opportunity to watch movie trailers, you can now enjoy Book Trailers, the hottest new entertainment in publishing. You can watch scenes from a book play out on YouTube and learn more about a storyline before you purchase the book. Now books can compete with other entertainment industries by capitalizing on the online video trends.
Other entertainment industries have long used this online marketing strategy with videos, especially the movies and music industries. However, it seems the books industry has finally come to adopt the same method, as book promoters have identified an entertaining way to promote books with video that allows the publishing industry entrance into a growing online market.
Book video can be found on YouTube sites such as http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers showing anything from book trailers to author interviews. Top booksellers such as Borders Inc. have found their way to YouTube where they show exclusive autho
r interviews. MySpace TV, Veoh and many other popular videos sites are seeing an increase in book video and have even featured some of the trailers.
"This is a great way to entertain and inform the public about books and their stories,” stated Sheila Clover English of Circle of Seven Productions, the leader in book trailer productions. “We hope to see Book Trailers do for the publishing industry what music videos did for the music industry."
"There are several booksellers and specialty sites that take book videos as content and utilize it to enhance their site and increase traffic," she added.
In addition, Telly Awards, Davey Awards and many other local awards have been given to some of these trailers on the YouTube book trailer site. As they become more and more popular the production value could increase allowing book trailers to evolve like music videos did in the 1980s.
Reader's Entertainment TV, an online television platform for book videos, has also been created by Circle of Seven Productions, that combines books, entertainment and videos in a central location.
Book trailers allow books to be seen as mainstream entertainment in a visual venue like movies, television, music and video games. Online sites such as YouTube and MySpace TV allow for greater utilization of the trailers and a greater outreach for the publishing industry.
Matthew Murray's choice to attack and kill a number of Christians at a youth retreat and megachurch is a hot subject these days, especially to religious people, authors, theologians and philosophers, regardless of their religious beliefs. This tragic topic is certainly bound to create a religious and philosophical turmoil. However, Jason Pratt, an orthodox lay theologian and novelist, also wants to offer hope to the family of Matthew Murray and to Matthew himself, who committed suicide after being shot numerous times by a heroic security guard inside the church.
