Do You Think Book Trailers Are Effective?

I made a very simple one for my new release. Its not so much intended to sell books in and of itself but I thought it might help as part of the overall package of promotions I've been trying to put together.

I'll add that I'm also trying to boost my Google presence and I thought a youtube video might help with that. We will see. Much of what i do is an experiment at this point.

Do book trailers help...?

No. Not from where I sit. Doubtful at best. But they can be pretty. That's my experience. Edita
