You'll note here-<BR/>http://www.cosproductions.com/Distribution/Index.html<BR/><BR/>that "Author-made" videos are given a substantial discount. COS also offers some free promo to ALL authors, not just COS clients. That's all via MySpace though. COS supports all authors. Partly because I am an author myself (and the CEO of COS) and partly for business reasons; authors we support today may turn in to our clients later on because they have a positive feeling about our company.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for mentioning the ebook! Here's a last minute tip for you- www.tubemogul. It's amazing!<BR/><BR/>SheilaCOS Book Trailershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130051010533907060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020480448743700564.post-81400801335081399932008-03-08T06:14:00.000-08:002008-03-08T06:14:00.000-08:00Sheila,Thanks for the tip on the new e-book.

You can get it for free here-<BR/><BR/>http://www.cosproductions.com/Resources/Index.html<BR/><BR/>As far as distribution goes, there are over 200 online social media sites, over 100 book marking sites, specialty sites such as Preview the Book, Reader's Entertainment TV and Watch the Book (just to name a few) and of course the all important bookseller.<BR/><BR/>If you're able to format to AVI or some other uncompressed and acceptable format, you can use digital video for television, movie theater and out-of-home advertising (mall smart screens, digital billboards, transit tv).<BR/><BR/>Authors who train themselves to be serous producers of book video can also teach themselves special formatting and buy their own media spots for a lot cheaper than you might think. You just need to know the correct formatting.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could attend the talk Linda/Lyndi! I would be very interested in your experiences and point of view! Your videos are very well done!<BR/><BR/>Sheila Clover EnglishCOS Book Trailershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130051010533907060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020480448743700564.post-26338198590248427662008-03-07T17:30:00.000-08:002008-03-07T17:30:00.000-08:00Hi Debbie and Rhonda,Glad you liked the trailer.

The pictures are beautiful... and the house with the garden in front of it reminded me of Freddie Mercury's home in Kensington :-) (I'm an avid Freddie fan). Very, very nice trailer.

I used to play the piano, but no longer. <BR/><BR/>Beth, there are a number of video sites besides YouTube. DailyMotion.com, revver.com, photobucket.com, plus Google & Yahoo and a bunch of other places. YouTube is the one that gets the most press, though. <BR/><BR/>Linda / LyndiLinda McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291670592316021851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020480448743700564.post-80066828652295341682008-03-05T19:54:00.000-08:002008-03-05T19:54:00.000-08:00I've seen several book trailers.
