Video Clips to Promote Your Blog

Video clips are becoming the hottest new marketing tool in the book publishing industry. It's a logical new way to market hot authors and their new books. It's also very cost-effective as opposed to the typical writers tour of tv and radio stations.

Here's one example of a video clip promoting the new book due out in October by a popular and beautiful New York Times writer, Alex Kuczynski. Her book is a gossipy and critical tale about the growing popularity of cosmetic surgery procedures, especially in cities such as Los Angeles and Manhattan.

If the giant book publishing houses are finding video clips to be a great marketing tool for selling new books, just think what this implies for us much smaller publishers; - the bloggers.

And if the topic of your blog is such that it is very conducive to making a short, cheap and interesting video about it, than this could quickly lead to a lot of link generation and a big boost in search engine ranking popularity.
