You’re smart because you created it. Proud because it’s finished. And excited—because deep down you know your message deserves to fly.
But one question lingers…
“Where should I promote my book trailer video?”
It’s right there on your screen.
Your brilliant trailer. It tells your story. It connects with your reader. It brings your book to life with visuals, sound, and emotion. It even ends with a call to action that’s laser-focused on your ideal reader.
So now what?
You don’t keep it a secret. The world needs to see it.
This is your moment to shine—and yes, to sell.
You made this trailer to spark interest in your book and open doors to new opportunities. So, let’s get it out there.
Promoting your book trailer video strategically can dramatically increase your book’s reach and reader engagement.
Start with the obvious:
- Email signatures
- Your website or blog
- Sales pages
- Press releases
- Guest posts or partner blogs
But don’t stop there—there are dozens of places where your trailer can live and breathe, where your future readers, clients, and fans are already hanging out.
Choose based on your audience. Choose based on your goals. The right placements can give you huge exposure—and maybe even help build your author brand as the next breakout name.
So… where should you promote your book trailer video?

Post the video directly or embed it into posts—it’s a powerful way to turn passive scrolls into book sales.
Free or paid promotion? Your call. Most platforms offer both.
Promoting a book trailer might look overwhelming. But truth is—it’s not. Especially if you stay focused on three things:
- Know your audience
- Know where they hang out
- Reach them at the right time
Stick to those, and you’ll be amazed at the results—even if your budget is close to zero.
Creating a viral video doesn’t take a blockbuster budget. And what better content to share than the trailer of your very own book?
You’ve already done the hard part—writing the book.
Now it’s time to let your book trailer video do some of the talking.
And remember…
You don’t have to do it all yourself. If you’d rather stay in your creative flow and let someone else handle the promo—we’ve got you covered.
