By

Theresa Chaze

In fact, they are an effect promotional tool that will create interest by going beyond the synopsis to the "heart of the book. Although, book trailers are considered promotional material, they are in reality an advertisement. The difference lies in the length and basic format.

Did You Know Flash, Videos & Music Are Killing Websites?

Too much can kill the desired results of a

website: music, videos, & flash.

A website should upload for your visitor

between 5 to 10 seconds. And if they are

waiting and waiting you may just have lost

a new reader.
