There are over 12,000 free resource links in Book Promo 201 and I just found a list posted online - these are other sites that offer free items like, sound effects, video background, pictures and more that can be used when creating any videos - including book trailers.

Free File Converter Websites

I just stumbled across something that is very cool and I can't remember where I saw it. But I bookmarked it - that's the important thing :) Now I want to share these free resources with you.

Do you want a way to convert from PDF to Word or RTF?

Do you want to convert from Word or other document to PDF?
(I've been using this for a long time and it works great.)

Do you want a PDF Editor?
(I have not figured out how to use this yet - but wanted to share in case its good for you.)

Do you want to convert from PDF to Excel?

I hope these will work for you and I'm using one to work on a project right now :) At one point I was ghostwriting a book for a client and they wanted me to use information from 25 different books to create a new book and I had to purchase a program that would let me pull info from the PDF. I believe that was about $40 about 4 years ago. This is much easier and free.
