			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy March! It is Small Press Month once again!</p>
<p>To keep you productive, we&#8217;ve compiled a list of 31 book marketing tips that you should find valuable&#8230; and with the new <em>a la carte</em> marketing options available through <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=BrentBlog"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press</span></a>, no matter where you may have published, you can start your book marketing efforts the right way.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/social"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/buy-books.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 1</strong> – Make a goal to set up your author platform. The first start can be with social media. If you aren&#8217;t familiar (or comfortable) with social media and need a bit of assistance, our <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/social" target="_blank">Author Platform Set-up Through Social Media</a> Option is a good way to start.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://facebook.com/outskirtspress"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/facebook.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 2</strong> – Contact other independent published authors in your area (through local associations you may belong to) and combine your resources to fully exploit the opportunities during this month. There’s a lot to do, and four hands are better than two. With the advent of social networking sites, this is easier than ever. In fact your publisher may already have a group on such sites as MySpace or FaceBook or a following on Twitter to help you connect with other writers. <a href="http://facebook.com/OutskirtsPress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Here is the Outskirts Press Facebook community</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 3</strong> – Contact your local bookstores and suggest they offer discounts on Small Press books this month (since March is Small Press Month). Bring in yours and offer it to them at a discount to get them started. Show them the rest of this calendar as a way of indicating your commitment to making their event successful. Offer to leave a free copy with them along with a sales sheet. <a href="http://www.bookweb.org/members/browse.do"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Here&#8217;s a link to the ABA Bookseller directory.</span></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/videotrailer"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/BookVideo-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 4</strong> – Make a <span style="color:#ff0000;">60 second book video trailer</span> and distribute it to video and social networking sites like <a href="http://youtube.com/outskirtspress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">YouTube</span></a> and Facebook. Don&#8217;t know the first thing about how you would do that? Outskirts Press can do it for you, affordably and professionally &#8211; <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/videotrailer"><span style="color:#0000ff;">just click here</span></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Here&#8217;s a sample:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://selfpublishingnews.com/2012/03/05/31-book-marketing-tips-for-self-publishing-authors-2/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/SBaxj0DYduE/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><strong>Mar 5</strong> – Send a press release to the local media (newspapers, radio, television) mentioning Small Press Month and your independently published book. If you secured some events, mention them in the release. Don&#8217;t yet have a press release? <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/customrelease"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press can compose and distribute a custom press release on your behalf.</span></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/prcampaign"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/PRPublicist-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 6</strong> – Follow-up on your press release from yesterday with the local media via telephone. Reiterate Small Press Month, your planned events in the community, and your Small Press book. Send them a review of your book that they can use as a foundation. (Less work for them). Outskirts Press can perform a <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/prcampaign"><span style="color:#0000ff;">PR Publicist Campaign</span></a> for your custom press release which includes additional distribution, phone-call follow-up, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 7</strong> – Consider taking your book on a Virtual Book Tour. You can save 15% on this option through the rest of March when you check out using the promotion code <strong>VBT15PCT</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter21.php"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/toolkit-sm.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 8</strong> – Contact your local libraries and suggest they feature Small Press titles, including yours. Offer to leave a free copy with them, along with a sales sheet. If you’re an Outskirts Press author, you can generate a sales sheet automatically in your <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter21.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Publishing Center here</span></a>. You can even change it and update it first through your Author Toolkit by modifying and updating your author webpage.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 9</strong> – If you haven’t yet sent out review copies for book, now is the time. For published Outskirts Press authors, your Book Review Starter Kit has many book reviewers listed, and you also have the option of the <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6288_book_review_submission_10_reviewers.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Book Review Submission service</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pearl"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/pearl-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 10</strong> – Contact local schools in your area and tell them about Small Press Month. Mention that you are a local published author and offer to speak to their assembly about the topic of your book; or, even, on how to accomplish <em>their</em> dreams of being published. This is particularly effective if you have a children’s book you can then sell after the assembly. Plus, you can earn <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/affiliates.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">affiliate commissions</span></a> by recommending our full-color <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pearl"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pearl publishing package</span></a>. In addition to cookbooks or art books, the Pearl package is perfect for children&#8217;s books (since over <span style="color:#ff0000;">30 different artistic illustration packages</span> are available &#8211; <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/art"><span style="color:#0000ff;">click here</span></a> to view them).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Watch the Pearl Package video&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://selfpublishingnews.com/2012/03/05/31-book-marketing-tips-for-self-publishing-authors-2/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/ceSAebTREIo/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><strong>Mar 11</strong> – Contact local universities and colleges. Same concept as yesterday — promote yourself and your book by sharing your knowledge of how to write a book and get it published. Sell copies of your book in the back of the room, and earn 10% referral commissions by referring other authors to <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/customer.php?at=-publish"><span style="color:#0000ff;">our Publishing Services</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 12</strong> – Schedule a seminar or tele-seminar on “How to Write and Publish a Book” and offer a “Small Press Month” discount on the registration fee. Send out a local news release about your class. <a href="http://gotomeeting.com"><span style="color:#0000ff;">GoToMeeting.com</span></a> offers a free 30 day trial to create your own webinar. Give it a try!</p>
<p><strong>Mar 13</strong> – March 13th will be lucky for you when you hire a professional marketing assistant to help you complete these 31 ideas (along with other marketing tactics you may not even know about). <span style="color:#ff0000;">5 hours of personal marketing <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/tshirt"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/tshirt-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a></span>assistance is available by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pma"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 14</strong> – Some authors put themselves into their books. Now you can do it literally, by ordering a <span style="color:#ff0000;">custom t-shirt </span>featuring your book cover on the front and back. It&#8217;s available no matter where you published. <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/tshirt"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Click here to order</span>.</a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 15</strong> – Advertising independently can be expensive. A single full-page ad in the <em>New York Times</em> costs over $40,000! But, thankfully, Outskirts Press offers its family of published authors co-op advertising opportunities in <em><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/forewordcoop" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">ForeWord Reviews</span></a>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/spritcoop" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Spirituality &amp; Health</span></a>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pwcoop" target="_blank">Publisher&#8217;s Weekly</a></em>, and the<em> <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6386_new_york_times_sunday_book_review_holiday_co_op_ad.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a></em>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 16</strong> – Contact all the local radio producers in your area and pitch them on Small Press Month. The <a href="http://radio-locator.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Radio Locator</span></a> website makes it easy to find a radio station&#8217;s contact information.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 17</strong> – Think St. Patrick’s Day thoughts and then &#8220;go green&#8221; by making sure you have published your book with a book publisher like <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=BrentBlog"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press</span></a>, who offers 30% post-consumer recycled materials in the most popular paper choices.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 18</strong> – Make sure your book is available in all formats. We offer <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/kindle" target="_blank">Kindle</a>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/ipad" target="_blank">iPad</a>, and <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/nook" target="_blank">NOOK</a> formatting options to all authors.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 19</strong> – According to Amazon, books that participate in their <span style="color:#ff0000;">Search Inside the Book</span> feature sell many more copies than those that don&#8217;t, so be sure YOUR book is a part of &#8220;Search Inside.&#8221; Outskirts Press offers Search Inside Submissions for authors published with Outskirts Press and elsewhere. Order by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/sitb"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 20</strong> – This may be the month to switch publishers if you have published elsewhere. Look at the publisher you chose and ask yourself: Is your retail price too high? Is your profit too low? Is your author’s copy price too high? Are your marketing options too costly? (Read this <a href="http://outskirtspress.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/a-february-self-publishing-promotion-worth-1249/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">2009 blog posting</span></a> about one of our options that costs $99 for our authors and costs over one THOUSAND dollars through one of our competitors). Compare and save potentially thousands of dollars.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 21</strong> – Small Press Month is just one month out of 12. Prepare for other months by showcasing your book at international book fairs like the <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/london" target="_blank">London Book Fair</a>, <span style="color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/bea" target="_blank">Book Expo of America</a></span>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/beijing" target="_blank">Beijing</a>, and <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/frankfurt" target="_blank">Frankfurt</a>. Or make it easy on yourself with the <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/tourpackage" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Global Book Tour</span></a> marketing package: 4 events in 4 countries in 4 months.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 22</strong> – Get your book reviewed by Amazon reviewers. You can find a list of the most popular and prolific Amazon reviewers by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/top-reviewers">clicking here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 23</strong> – Contact the Learning Annex (or similarly themed Adult Education Program) in your area and offer to teach a class on the subject of your book. As a published author, you are qualified to teach on your subject since you are an expert. Your book may even be required reading for each student! Cha-ching! If you&#8217;re published through Outskirts Press, send them to our <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/bookstore"><span style="color:#0000ff;">bookstore</span></a> so they receive a 10% discount off other online retailers (and <span style="color:#ff0000;">you still earn your full 100% profit royalty</span>). Cha-ching, again!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/outskirtspress"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/twitter-small.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 24</strong> – Create a social networking account on Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. <a href="http://twitter.com/outskirtspress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Follow us on Twitter</span></a> for book marketing suggestions and news in 140 characters or less.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 25</strong> – Contact the public libraries in each state and mention your involvement with Small Press Month. Send them information about your book. Here’s a link that will get you started: <a href="http://www.publiclibraries.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://www.publiclibraries.com/</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 26</strong> – Start preparing for April (National Poetry Month), especially if you have a book of poetry.  We publish high-quality, award-winning volumes of poetry all the time.  In fact, Outskirts Press authors <span style="color:#ff0000;">swept the Poetry Category in the 2009 Reader&#8217;s Views Literary Awards</span>. See how we do this year when all the finalists are announced on this blog tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 27</strong> – Help other writers you know get published and earn a 10% commission for the referral after their book is published. Register for the exciting Outskirts Press affiliate program by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/affiliates.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here.</span></a><span style="color:#0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://wordpress.com"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/blog-small.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 28</strong> – Start a blog and keep it active and up-to-date. Register it with blog directories so others start reading it and participating. There are many blog programs to help you get started. Conduct a search on Google for the one that works for you. We use <a href="http://www.wordpress.com"><span style="color:#0000ff;">WordPress.</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 29</strong> – Submit your published book to the Google Base listings. It’s free. <a href="http://base.google.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://base.google.com</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 30</strong> – Publish a “Large Print” edition of your book. With the world’s demographics growing older, “large print” editions are becoming more and more popular. Featuring 14 or 16 point fonts, these editions appeal to the aging community because they are easier to read. You’ve already written the book, now re-publish a new “Large Print” edition to increase your revenue and double the effectiveness of your marketing initiatives. It’s easy to <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">get published here</span></a>.<a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/diamond"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/diamond-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 31</strong> – Relax! It’s been a busy, productive month. Fortunately, <span style="color:#ff0000;">Outskirts Press makes publishing and marketing a book easy</span>. Check out our most popular Diamond publishing service by kicking-back and watching the video below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hope you find this list of 31 book marketing tips valuable&#8230; and with the new <em>a la carte</em> marketing options available through <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=BrentBlog"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press</span></a>, no matter where you may have published, you can start your book marketing efforts the right way.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter19.php"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/buy-books.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 1</strong> – If you do not have enough author’s copies on hand, contact your publisher and order more so they arrive in enough time to pursue these other tips throughout the month. For Outskirts Press authors, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter19.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">here&#8217;s a direct link to your book ordering page</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> <span style="color:#000000;">where you can receive</span> free domestic shipping</span> via UPS Ground within the continental United States  if you order 50 or more copies before Saturday, March 5th, 2011. No promotion code needed!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://facebook.com/outskirtspress"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/facebook.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 2</strong> – Contact other independent published authors in your area (through local associations you may belong to) and combine your resources to fully exploit the opportunities during this month. There’s a lot to do, and four hands are better than two. With the advent of social networking sites, this is easier than ever. In fact your publisher may already have a group on such sites as MySpace or FaceBook or a following on Twitter to help you connect with other writers. <a href="http://facebook.com/OutskirtsPress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Here is the Outskirts Press Facebook community</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 3</strong> – Contact your local bookstores and suggest they offer discounts on Small Press books this month (since March is Small Press Month). Bring in yours and offer it to them at a discount to get them started. Show them the rest of this calendar as a way of indicating your commitment to making their event successful. Offer to leave a free copy with them along with a sales sheet. <a href="http://www.bookweb.org/members/browse.do"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Here&#8217;s a link to the ABA Bookseller directory.</span></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/videotrailer"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/BookVideo-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 4</strong> – Make a <span style="color:#ff0000;">60 second book video trailer</span> and distribute it to video and social networking sites like <a href="http://youtube.com/outskirtspress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">YouTube</span></a> and Facebook. Don&#8217;t know the first thing about how you would do that? Outskirts Press can do it for you, affordably and professionally &#8211; <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/videotrailer"><span style="color:#0000ff;">just click here</span></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Here&#8217;s a sample:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://selfpublishingnews.com/2011/03/02/31-book-marketing-tips-for-self-publishing-authors/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/SBaxj0DYduE/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><strong>Mar 5</strong> – Send a press release to the local media (newspapers, radio, television) mentioning Small Press Month and your independently published book. If you secured some events, mention them in the release. Don&#8217;t yet have a press release? <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/customrelease"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press can compose and distribute a custom press release on your behalf.</span></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/prcampaign"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/PRPublicist-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 6</strong> – Follow-up on your press release from yesterday with the local media via telephone. Reiterate Small Press Month, your planned events in the community, and your Small Press book. Send them a review of your book that they can use as a foundation. (Less work for them). Outskirts Press can perform a <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/prcampaign"><span style="color:#0000ff;">PR Publicist Campaign</span></a> for your custom press release which includes additional distribution, phone-call follow-up, and more.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 7</strong> – If you haven’t yet published your book, today is the day to start. Outskirts Press, the fastest-growing full service self-publishing and book marketing service is offering an <span style="color:#ff0000;">instant 10% discount</span> on their 3 best publishing services. <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/monthly_promotion.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Click here</span></a> for the necessary promotion code and promotion dates.  Then <a href="http://www.audioacrobat.com/play/W4Hs1Qbf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">listen to an audio recording</span></a> from a recent author, Joanne Bodin, author of <em>Walking Fish.</em></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter21.php"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/toolkit-sm.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 8</strong> – Contact your local libraries and suggest they feature Small Press titles, including yours. Offer to leave a free copy with them, along with a sales sheet. If you’re an Outskirts Press author, you can generate a sales sheet automatically in your <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/authorcenter21.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Publishing Center here</span></a>. You can even change it and update it first through your Author Toolkit by modifying and updating your author webpage.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 9</strong> – If you haven’t yet sent out review copies for book, now is the time. For published Outskirts Press authors, your Book Review Starter Kit has many book reviewers listed, and you also have the option of the <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6288_book_review_submission_10_reviewers.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Book Review Submission service</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pearl"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/pearl-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>Mar 10</strong> – Contact local schools in your area and tell them about Small Press Month. Mention that you are a local published author and offer to speak to their assembly about the topic of your book; or, even, on how to accomplish <em>their</em> dreams of being published. This is particularly effective if you have a children’s book you can then sell after the assembly. Plus, you can earn <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/affiliates.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">affiliate commissions</span></a> by recommending our full-color <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pearl"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pearl publishing package</span></a>. In addition to cookbooks or art books, the Pearl package is perfect for children&#8217;s books (since over <span style="color:#ff0000;">30 different artistic illustration packages</span> are available &#8211; <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/art"><span style="color:#0000ff;">click here</span></a> to view them).</p>

<p><strong>Mar 11</strong> – Contact local universities and colleges. Same concept as yesterday — promote yourself and your book by sharing your knowledge of how to write a book and get it published. Sell copies of your book in the back of the room, and earn 10% referral commissions by referring other authors to <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/customer.php?at=-publish"><span style="color:#0000ff;">our Publishing Services</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 12</strong> – Schedule a seminar or tele-seminar on “How to Write and Publish a Book” and offer a “Small Press Month” discount on the registration fee. Send out a local news release about your class. <a href="http://gotomeeting.com"><span style="color:#0000ff;">GoToMeeting.com</span></a> offers a free 30 day trial to create your own webinar. Give it a try!</p>
<p><strong>Mar 13</strong> – March 13th will be lucky for you when you hire a professional marketing assistant to help you complete these 31 ideas (along with other marketing tactics you may not even know about). <span style="color:#ff0000;">5 hours of personal marketing <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/tshirt"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/tshirt-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a></span>assistance is available by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/pma"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 14</strong> – Some authors put themselves into their books. Now you can do it literally, by ordering a <span style="color:#ff0000;">custom t-shirt </span>featuring your book cover on the front and back. It&#8217;s available no matter where you published. <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/tshirt"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Click here to order</span>.</a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 15</strong> – Advertising independently can be expensive. A single full-page ad in the <em>New York Times</em> costs over $40,000! But, thankfully, Outskirts Press offers its family of published authors co-op advertising opportunities in <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6087_foreword_magazine_co_op_advertisement.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">ForeWord Reviews</span></a>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6294_spirituality_health_magazine_co_op_advertisement.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Spirituality &amp; Health</span></a>, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6343_new_york_review_of_books_co_op_advertisement.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">New York Review of Books</span></a>, and soon (you heard it here first), Publisher&#8217;s Weekly.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 16</strong> – Contact all the local radio producers in your area and pitch them on Small Press Month. The <a href="http://radio-locator.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Radio Locator</span></a> website makes it easy to find a radio station&#8217;s contact information.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 17</strong> – Think St. Patrick’s Day thoughts and then &#8220;go green&#8221; by making sure you have published your book with a book publisher like <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=BrentBlog"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Outskirts Press</span></a>, who offers 30% post-consumer recycled materials in the most popular paper <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/kindle"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:8px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/AmazonKindle-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a>choices.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 18</strong> – Make sure you have an <span style="color:#ff0000;">Amazon Kindle edition</span> of your book. One of our most popular services for OP authors, as well as authors published elsewhere, is our Amazon Kindle option, <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/kindle"><span style="color:#0000ff;">available by clicking here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 19</strong> – According to Amazon, books that participate in their <span style="color:#ff0000;">Search Inside the Book</span> feature sell many more copies than those that don&#8217;t, so be sure YOUR book is a part of &#8220;Search Inside.&#8221; Outskirts Press offers Search Inside Submissions for authors published with Outskirts Press and elsewhere. Order by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/sitb"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 20</strong> – This may be the month to switch publishers if you have published elsewhere. Look at the publisher you chose and ask yourself: Is your retail price too high? Is your profit too low? Is your author’s copy price too high? Are your marketing options too costly? (Read this <a href="http://outskirtspress.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/a-february-self-publishing-promotion-worth-1249/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">2009 blog posting</span></a> about one of our options that costs $99 for our authors and costs over one THOUSAND dollars through one of our competitors). Compare and save potentially thousands of dollars.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 21</strong> – Small Press Month is just one month out of 12. Prepare for other months by showcasing your book at international book fairs like the London Book Fair, <span style="color:#ff0000;">Book Expo of America</span>, Beijing, and Frankfurt. Or make it easy on yourself with the <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/options/6070_global_book_tour_4_book_events_one_discounted_price.html"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Global Book Tour</span></a> marketing package: 4 events in 4 countries in 4 months.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 22</strong> – Get your book reviewed by Amazon reviewers. You can find a list of the most popular and prolific Amazon reviewers by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/top-reviewers">clicking here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 23</strong> – Contact the Learning Annex (or similarly themed Adult Education Program) in your area and offer to teach a class on the subject of your book. As a published author, you are qualified to teach on your subject since you are an expert. Your book may even be required reading for each student! Cha-ching! If you&#8217;re published through Outskirts Press, send them to our <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/bookstore"><span style="color:#0000ff;">bookstore</span></a> so they receive a 10% discount off other online retailers (and <span style="color:#ff0000;">you still earn your full 100% profit royalty</span>). Cha-ching, again!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/outskirtspress"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/twitter-small.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 24</strong> – Create a social networking account on Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. <a href="http://twitter.com/outskirtspress"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Follow us on Twitter</span></a> for book marketing suggestions and news in 140 characters or less.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 25</strong> – Contact the public libraries in each state and mention your involvement with Small Press Month. Send them information about your book. Here’s a link that will get you started: <a href="http://www.publiclibraries.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://www.publiclibraries.com/</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 26</strong> – Start preparing for April (National Poetry Month), especially if you have a book of poetry.  We publish high-quality, award-winning volumes of poetry all the time.  In fact, Outskirts Press authors <span style="color:#ff0000;">swept the Poetry Category in the 2009 Reader&#8217;s Views Literary Awards</span>. See how we do this year when all the finalists are announced on this blog tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Mar 27</strong> – Help other writers you know get published and earn a 10% commission for the referral after their book is published. Register for the exciting Outskirts Press affiliate program by <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/affiliates.php"><span style="color:#0000ff;">clicking here.</span></a><span style="color:#0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://wordpress.com"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/coach-emails/blog-small.jpg" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Mar 28</strong> – Start a blog and keep it active and up-to-date. Register it with blog directories so others start reading it and participating. There are many blog programs to help you get started. Conduct a search on Google for the one that works for you. We use <a href="http://www.wordpress.com"><span style="color:#0000ff;">WordPress.</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 29</strong> – Submit your published book to the Google Base listings. It’s free. <a href="http://base.google.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://base.google.com</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Mar 30</strong> – Publish a “Large Print” edition of your book. With the world’s demographics growing older, “large print” editions are becoming more and more popular. Featuring 14 or 16 point fonts, these editions appeal to the aging community because they are easier to read. You’ve already written the book, now re-publish a new “Large Print” edition to increase your revenue and double the effectiveness of your marketing initiatives. It’s easy to <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">get published here</span></a>.<a href="http://outskirtspress.com/p/diamond"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:7px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/diamond-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Outskirts Press now offers a true 21<sup>st</sup> century viral marketing tool for all self-publishing authors, regardless of where they published: a sixty second, professionally produced book video trailer, with music and text, so authors can promote their books on social media sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and many more.</em></p>
<p><strong>September 28, 2010 – Denver, CO &#8211; Outskirts Press, the fastest growing self-publishing and book marketing company, announced today it is offering authors an extremely affordable, professional marketing video for promoting their books on YouTube and all of the popular social networking sites.  These high quality one minute video productions are available to authors at an affordable price, less than half of what many competitors charge.</strong></p>
<p>Book Videos produced by Outskirts Press feature Hollywood-style production values and a cutting edge look and feel.  Approximately sixty seconds in length &#8212; the optimal on-line video sharing time &#8212; the videos are produced for authors according to their recommendations. </p>
<p>David Brookover, author of three Outskirts Press novels, including <em>Mortal Eclipse</em>, <em>The Ancient Breed</em>, and <em>Demon Key</em>, said this when he saw his video for the first time.  &#8220;WOW!  You and your staff did a spectacular job with both the video and the audio!  I wrote and produced TV commercials for years and even won a CLIO, and I’m very impressed with your production!  The quality of your work is impressive.&#8221;</p>
<p>While Outskirts Press distributes copies of the video through social networking and video sites like  YouTube, Metacafe, MySpace, Facebook and many other contemporary social networking venues, the authors are given their own video file to use in their personal marketing efforts, as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;The book video trailer is like a movie trailer for your book.  It’s cool.  It’s hip.  It’s now,&#8221; said Outskirts Director of Author Support Kelly Schuknecht.  &#8220;And for the first time, we are offering our high-tech, cool book videos and worldwide distribution network to all authors at an incredible value, even if those authors happened to have published their books somewhere else.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://outskirtspress.com/newsletters/IncMagOct2009.jpg" alt="" hspace="9" vspace="5" width="200" height="265" align="right" />The fourth quarter started with the hotly-anticipated announcement of 3 additional trim sizes for <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=OPBlog">self-publishing</a> full-color paperback books : 5.5&#8243; x 8.5&#8243;, 7&#8243; x 10&#8243;, and 8&#8243; x 10&#8243;. These sizes joined the already available full-color paperback sizes of 8.5&#8243; x 8.5&#8243; and 8.25&#8243; x 11&#8243;.</p>
<p>Right on the heels of Outskirts Press landing nearly smack-dab in the middle of the Inc. 500 list at #268, venture capital firm Foundation Capital and <em>Inc. Magazine</em> honored Outskirts Press again in the 4th quarter with &#8220;<a href="http://selfpublishingnews.com/2009/10/13/venture-capital-firm-and-inc-magazine-recognize-outskirts-press-self-publishing-with-%e2%80%9cbest-of-the-best%e2%80%9d-honors/">best of the best</a>&#8221; honors from among all 500 companies.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin:5px 9px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/tshirt-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" />The 4th quarter marked the introduction of two exciting new marketing options for self-publishing writers, namely the custom t-shirt featuring the author&#8217;s cover; and the first iTunes option, namely the Enhanced Audio Excerpt, which includes a professional recording of the author&#8217;s excerpt and the creation of an iTunes graphic, plus &#8220;podcast level&#8221; distribution.<img class="alignright" src="http://outskirtspress.com/marketing/icons/finals/Audio-En-sm.gif" alt="" width="75" height="110" /></p>
<p>The Enhanced Audio Excerpt was the reward for the author of the most popular Halloween Book Video, as determined by readers of this blog in the 4th quarter.  José Cepeda García&#8217;s book video trailer for his book, <em>21 Bizarre Short Stories</em>, was voted the most popular, taking home 50% of the votes.  Press play to watch the winning video:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://selfpublishingnews.com/2009/12/31/self-publishing-year-in-review-oct-dec-2009/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/rKNQas6ancg/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="alignright" style="border:0;margin:5px 9px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/21bizarreshortstories/cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" />José Cepeda García&#8217;s winning streak continued when 21 <em>Bizarre Short Stories</em> became an official Outskirts Press nominee for an EVVY Award, and was a finalist in the USA Book News Awards, joining 13 other Outskirts Press authors, including category winners Elise Cooke (for <em>The Grocery Garden</em>), J. Laurence Stillwell (for <em>The Soldiers of the Cross</em>), and Leon Newton (for <em>Titus</em>). Congratulations to them all!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Ex-New York Yankee Fritz Peterson hit a home run in the 4th quarter when his book <em>Mickey Mantle is Going to Heaven</em>, debuted on the Outskirts Press Top 10 Bestsellers List for September and stayed in the top 10 for October. <em>Mickey Mantle is Going to Heaven</em> is also an official Outskirts Press EVVY Award nominee.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="alignright" style="margin:5px 9px;" src="http://outskirtspress.com/mickeymantleisgoingtoheaven/author.jpg" alt="" width="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Meanwhile (and speaking of New York), the following 12 <a href="http://outskirtspress.com/agent.php?key=OPBlog">Outskirts Press</a> books were featured in a full-page ad in the December 13th issue of the <em>New York Times Book Review</em>:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Following Joe<br />
Hanging on a Twisted Line<br />
Hooked<br />
How do Religious Figures Induce the Establishment of Sects?<br />
The &#8216;I Love My Bible&#8217; Commentary<br />
Immaculate Deception<br />
The Immigrants<br />
Life Under the Corporate Microscope<br />
Schrodinger&#8217;s Universe<br />
Through the Triangle<br />
Unstoppable Confidence<br />
Wrongsized</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Awards season got in full-swing in the 4th quarter with talented and hopeful self-publishing writers keeping the Author Support department busy with hundreds of submissions to major book awards like the Benjamin Franklin Awards and ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Awards.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And, of course, the 4th quarter marks the time of year when the official Outskirts Press EVVY nomination invitations are sent to select authors.  Less than 5% of the books published by Outskirts Press are nominated for this prestigious annual award, currently in its 16th year. </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Below are the official Outskirts Press EVVY nominees for the 2010 EVVY Awards.   Please join us in congratulating them all!</p>
