This generation loves videos. Well, videos and movies originate from WRITERS! We need to remind folks that reading is a great alternative to watching mindless shows sometimes - they need to exercise their brains with some reading!
And maybe watching a video can bring attention to our books. To show you how easy it is, I put together a video with some advice on how to make one!
One thing I forgot to mention, solicit help from friends - you are not alone!
I hope you enjoyed my amateur marketing video advice and maybe it was helpful! Thanks to all my volunteers - they're awesome! And there's more to come...
Have a great MONDAY! And wish us luck - it's our first day back to school =)

I liked you spinning around!
Great job, Tara! Fun, too. Here's to a wonderful school year.
How cute. Good Job. I liked you spinning around too. Well done with good advice. Hope you had fun. I look like you did.

You are brave! Great video
Nice of you to share advice. Though I'd be mindful of how close you call the entertainment of TV and movie watchers mindless. While I know it's harmless fun there are some who love the medium who sometimes feel they are looked down for not enjoying more 'high brow' material. Books are my top but I love both.
Great video, Tara. You are awesome.
Well done Tara - I enjoyed seeing the video, and hearing you! Take care - all the best Hilary
That was so much fun! I'm terrified of making a video. Maybe I'll have to do one with my kid in it. He's much more of a ham than I am. :)
Fun vid! I agree, videos are a good tool to use when it comes to marketing. I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to put myself in front of a camera like that, but I'm sometimes tempted to create animated ones to promote my comics. That's such a time-consuming process, though, that I never fail to back out, LOL. (Maybe one day!)
Nice to see and hear the voice of my long-time blogging friend!
Very cool, Tara! Oh and Chrys and Tamara too!
Excellent job!
Ready to try my own - not! :) I think I need to hire an actor!
Awesome! Love the special affects, the questions, your answers, and your dog! Maybe, I should just tape my dog? Except, he's not in my book. I guess I should write a fantasy that includes cute kittens and dogs. :) Just kidding, mostly.
Agh. Please ignore the icon. You were talking about school, I was doing school prep in the background - and this pic is from my "teaching at a Christian co-op" account. Oy. If I could just keep my brain straight.
