Hi everyone! My name is Daniele, but everyone calls me Dani. I'm the author of over 15 novels and I also work in marketing. I have undergraduate studies in digital cinematography and I'm currently working on the development stage for the adaptation of Sudden Hope. I have a few short scripts and I also make book trailers (mostly just for fun!) You can find me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/authordanielelanzarotta My website is www.danilanzarotta.com

Hi, Daniele! Very impressive website. Have you made book trailers for your own work? If you have, a) sorry I missed them and b) are they effective? Or are they, as you say, "mostly just for fun"?
Hi James! Thank you. I still need to add the book trailers to the website. Thanks for the reminder. lol The way I see it, everything that puts books in front of people is effective or has the potential to be. If you use Facebook video ads, that potential is even higher. This is the most recent trailer I made (the anthology has one of my short stories): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZDRDKT4CHs And this is one of the old ones. I learned a lot since this one, but it did boost my sales... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-5JZ7pP1cE
(I guess I should've used "Dani" instead of "Daniele," eh?)The opening text and blood on the anthology was especially skilfully done - I hope you get more views on that. I see you got over 1,000 views on the Nephilim books trailer, which is pretty good, from what I've seen. Lots of trailers only get a couple of hundred.
Thank you. We just started sharing that trailer this week. You are right... a lot of trailers only get a couple hundreds. I shared the Nephilim trailer everywhere! I see that you are an author, so I'm sure you know the value of sharing teasers and links over and over again and in as many creative ways as possible. :)
Nice to meet you :-)
Fifteen novels! Congrats! Nice to meet you.
Welcome to the community!
Hi, Dani - I'm one of those authors who DON'T do as much linking and teasing as I should! Looks like you're doing exactly what you should be doing -- establishing your brand and cultivating your readership. And, perhaps most importantly, producing!
Welcome, Daniele! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Dani!
Hi everyone. Thank you. :)
