Amazon is the single largest book retailer and understanding how you can maximize their offerings will help you maximize your books sales.

1) Amazon Search Inside the Book:This is the online equivalent to flipping through your book on the shelf. An optional feature, “Look Inside” provides an icon over your book’s cover image, and allows readers to browse through portions of your interior content. Amazon claims that books utilizing this option see considerably higher sales over those that do not. Pretty intuitive.

2) Amazon Key Word Submission:Allows readers to browse titles instantly by category or ‘key words.’ They key is determining the top keywords to tag your book with in order to provide the widest exposure possible.

3) Amazon Kindle:The Kindle is everywhere, and for good reason. It is a revolutionary digital reading device that allows individuals to purchase books anywhere, anytime, and instantly. One source noted that Kindle owners, on average, buy 3x more books than non-Kindle owners. Kindle editions must be submitted with special formatting, which only some self-publishing firms (like Outskirts Press) offer.
