I bet you have noticed that I make videos for my recent releases. It is a new promo bit for me, but based on many years of working with tv media to create commercials for my PR clients. (Yes, I owned a PR firm for 23 years!)
Do you watch others' videos as promo for books? Do you tend to watch them on TIKTOK and INSTAGRAM?
I do. I even have a PA who creates my flashy INSTAGRAM short videos.
But do you like them? Are you attracted to them and watch just for fun?
I do.
But what else motivates you to delve into the possibility of buying a book? TROPES like marriage of convenience, Alpha male (Mafia, Villain, etc.), wounded hero, reluctant bride, etc.
I am hooked by BLURBS. If they are tight, active verbs and give me a shiver, I am IN. I confess they are tough to write. It is an art ,and others are more expert than I.
One new trend that does not appeal to me is the scenes with AI characters portraying the main characters. I see right away they are AI. HOW? Hmmm. The women have waistlines too small to bear any stomachs or even any children...and you know we need babies for these men to carry on their titles. But truly, the characters are very "perfect" mores than many models one finds in photo sites.
